General Hospital made the shocking decision to fire fan-favorite Kelly Monaco. She’s played Sam McCall for over two decades. Fans think the actress’s tribute to her late co-star included a threat to spill backstage secrets.
Kelly Monaco Expressed Heartbreak When Billy Miller Was Let Go From Soap
Kelly Monaco was quite close to actor Billy Miller. The two played romantic partners on GH for years after he joined the show in 2014. He was let go five years later. The move still has soap fans scratching their heads.
The actress took to Twitter to share her response to the firing. She wrote that she was heartbroken by the show’s decision to fire Billy Miller. She hinted that there was more to his firing than what the audience knew. Fans speculated at the time – and still speculate today – that Billy Miller was fired for defending Kelly Monaco to the show’s head honchos.
Unfortunately, Billy Miller died by suicide in 2023.
Fired GH Star Threatens To Spill Backstage Secrets?
Kelly Monaco is rarely on social media these days. So when she does post, it gets major attention. She took to Instagram on September 15 to honor Billy Miller on the first anniversary of his untimely death.
She shared a silly snapshot with her former co-star – and rumored real-life boyfriend. Kelly Monaco wrote in the caption that she will love and miss him forever. But there was another part of the caption that many fans took as a threat to expose the ABC soap’s backstage drama.
Kelly Monaco wrote, “I will tell our story soon enough….”
One fan of the actress took to Twitter to share an interesting interaction in the comments. Kelly Monaco confirmed that she took the pay cut the show asked her to take but was fired anyway.
Several fans noted that the actress tagged several bigwigs at ABC, including GH executive producer, Frank Valentini. She also tagged Disney, Hulu, and used the hashtag #robmills.
He’s the Vice President of programming for ABC’s reality shows, specials, and late-night shows. Kelly might have tagged him because of her previous stint on the ABC reality show Dancing With The Stars.
Fans of the show think Kelly Monaco is ready to spill tea about her own exit, as well as Billy Miller’s 2019 firing. Her last air date on GH hasn’t been revealed yet. But rumor has it that the show plans to kill her off and donate her liver to Lulu Spencer.
Do you think the GH star was alluding to sharing the story of backstage drama or the story of her and Billy Miller’s rumored relationship?
