It’s been a while since Kelly Monaco taped her last scenes at General Hospital and though last month, viewers watched as Sam was wheeled into surgery and died shortly after, a video has surfaced on X from behind the scenes after her final taping. The video, posted by a fan, Pam, showed Monaco on the hospital set, still dressed in a gown near the bed where Sam was last seen by her family and friends, who said an emotional goodbye.

“I’ve been on this lot for 25 years,” Monaco began then went on to express, “And you have all been my family, not only my second family, but my first family.” She continued the emotional goodbye by stating, “And I just thank each and every one of you for all these memories and this experience that I’ll take with me for the rest of my life.” She then addressed casting director Mark Teschner and said, “You started this whole journey for me, and it has been a wild ride, and it will not be the last that you see of me. Thank you very much for having me.”

The video continued with various onlookers applauding as the camera panned the room and Monaco exchanged goodbye hugs with a few of those in attendance

Earlier this week, we brought our readers news of Steve Burton’s reaction to Monaco’s “heartbreaking” exit and before that, Dominic Zamprogna disclosed words of encouragement to the actress who played his onscreen love. And to echo Monaco’s words, “It will not be the last that you see of me,” we hope to see her again one day in daytime and even have a few ideas for where she could fit into the other soaps.
