Sam died on General Hospital, and Port Charles said goodbye to her. The news of the actress’ departure after 21 years shocked fans. A video of Kelly Monaco saying goodbye after filming her final scenes on the ABC soap opera has surfaced.

Goodbye…For Now

An X user shared the behind-the-scenes video from GH. In it, Monaco, dressed in a hospital gown, stood holding a huge bouquet of flowers. She said, “I’ve been on this lot for 25 years. And you have all been my family, not only my second family, but my first family. 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 credited casting director Mark Teschner with getting her started at GH. “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.”
