General Hospital has really earned the ire of their fandom by deciding to let go of Kelly Monaco from the soap. For the unversed, Kelly has been a mainstay on the ABC sudser for over 21 years as Sam McCall.
Not only has her role been integral to some of the most pivotal storylines of the soap, but her acting chops have also won her a huge fanbase.
The said fanbase is now creating an uproar on social media by voicing their disdain over this poorly thought decision. However, we must add that General Hospital’s loss might soon end up being another soap’s gain, as Kelly Monaco is an asset absolutely worth investing in.
Thus, all of the three other active soaps, Days of Our Lives, The Young and The Restless, and The Bold and The Beautiful, should try to bag the actress for a new role or a pivotal recast!
Kelly is a name actress and has a stunning Daytime legacy, thanks to her role in General Hospital. However, actors indulging in some soap hopping is a totally normal phenomenon. Thus, we think it could actually be a great and refreshing change for Kelly Monaco to do a role on a different soap.
For starters, DOOL could bring Kelly on as Cassie Brady! It has been a while since we saw Kate Robert and Roman Brady’s daughter. The last we saw of her was in 2005 when he moved to Chicago with her brother Rex.
However, in 2017, Kate name-dropped her during a conversation about her and Rex. The character was previously portrayed by actress Alexis Thorpe. But casting Kelly in the role could breathe new life into the character!
Next, Y&R could greatly benefit by casting Kelly Monaco as Tara Locke! It has been a while since we last saw the character.
However, we must mention that due to Summer and Kyle’s ongoing feud over Harrison’s custody, Tara’s return could become highly explosive! The role was previously played by Elizabeth Leiner, but we can totally picture Kelly as Tara Locke!
Meanwhile, can you think of a character that she could play on B&B? Tell us in the comments!
