I'm glad she's staying. I hate Sam with a passion, but I love hating her, and I like the actress!

LOL.. full steam ahead for lusam!

Bummer, I was finally seeing the end of Sam coming. ;-(

It's funny, I went from absolutely LOATHING Sam when she first joined the show (I liked her w/ Jax, hated her w/ Sonny) to LOVING her when she hooked up with Jason. Now i haven't been a big fan of Sam's since last May, when she said she was nothing without Jason, but I am glad they took a turn with her character.

I've loved Kelly for years and I'm glad she's staying put for now. The character of Sam works, because of Kelly, whether you love her, or hate her, you do it b/c of Kelly.

I am glad Kelly is gonna stay!

LuSam!!!

The only "hating" that was going on was on the character...Sam. I love KM. Loved her on Port Charles and I love that she has a job on General Hospital. Even if shes playing a horrible character that will never be a favorite of mine no matter who she sleeps with...

Congrats to KM though...

I started liking Sam the day she bitch slapped Carly. That was pretty much enough for me.

Was the number of years she signed for disclosed?

I'm pleased to see she's staying. I don't love Sam, but I don't hate her. I don't think GH would be quite the same without her.

My hate for Sam burns like the heat of a thousand suns but I couldn't see anyone else playing Sam but Kelly so I'm glad she's staying. And even as a Liason fan, I have to admit that LuSam is kinda hot.

I'm glad. I love Sam with balls. I love her hating Jason and sticking it to Jason & Elizabeth. I think I might like Sam with Lucky. It would suit Elizabeth right imho if she lost Lucky to Sam (and I hope Robin & Jason get back together, or maybe finally a Jason/Carly pairing).

Me too. I hated Sam until then.

Now I am glad that KM is staying to continue to bitchslap Carly

Yuck! More years of Spam.....I wish they would kill off this useless character already

LOVE Sam and Love Kelly. This is great news. These days she is my reason for watching
