Kelly Monaco is understandably still salty about her firing from General Hospital after more than two decades in the role of Samantha “Sam” McCall.
The Dancing With the Stars champion shared a photo of herself with the show’s Davis family, played by Kate Mansi, Nancy Lee Grahn and Kristen Vaganos.
Kelly, 48, captioned the photo: “Last scene with the Davis girls. I still don’t feel like it.’
Nancy, who plays her character’s mother, shared a sweet comment.
‘In the midst of every difficulty lies opportunity. Albert Einstein. I love you. Everything will be fine. There are things a TV mom just knows.”

Travis Barker’s ex-wife Shanna Moakler also took notice, writing, “Keep your head high… god has bigger plans for you… better plans.” Love you.’
In August, Soap Opera Network reported that Monaco was “blindsided” after learning her longtime character would be “killed off” from the show sometime this fall.
Previously, Monaco played Livvie Locke in the spin-off series Port Charles.
She played the role for three years before the show was canceled and she was asked to join its long-running counterpart: General Hospital.
Monaco first joined the series in October 2003 and since then she has appeared in more than 2,200 episodes of General Hospital.
Her role on the show was terminated by the network and that she will make her final appearance in Port Charles before the end of the year.
Last week, Kelly gave some more insight into her feelings about her departure from the soap opera when she responded to a comment on social media.
A commenter on a soap opera fan page wrote: ‘What exactly do you have in mind? She wasn’t fired, she didn’t take the pay cut, so she had to leave.”
‘No primary role… do your homework. When Billy Miller was fired, Sam’s storyline ended. Stripping Sam of whatever features she had. Something I’ve been working on for decades,” her now-deleted response began.
“Slowly dismantling her into a character that I didn’t recognize, let alone the audience. Call it whatever you want…retaliation on it [sic] best. I will make an appropriate statement. The truth will set you free,” she wrote per People.
