‘General Hospital’ Star Johnny Wactor’s Mom Speaks Out After His Death in Fatal Shooting
The city of Port Charles said goodbye to one of its beloved characters—but not to Kelly Monaco.
Although Kelly’s General Hospital character Sam McCall was killed off on the Nov. 1 episode—21 years after she premiered on the show—her costar, friend and love interest on the daytime soap Dominic Zamprogna has made sure to keep in touch with the actress.
“I still check in on her every week,” he told Soap Opera Digest in an interview published Nov. 6, later sharing the wisdom he’s given her. “I’ve found the greatest things in my life have come when it feels like a door is closing. And I was really trying to emphasize that to her.”
He is also optimistic she could possibly return in the future, adding, “It’s a soap. Who the heck knows what’s gonna happen?”
While ABC hasn’t spoken out to address the reason for Kelly’s exit, what is obvious is the deep friendship Dominic built with her over the years.
