Soaps Returning To Production

[Chris B]

In light of how well Lindsay Hartley was as Sam I would’ve fired Kelly Monaco for that. Girl are you kidding me?! You work on a set with a bunch of elderly people and won’t wear a mask? On a high paying job like a soap?! And I can say as an essential worker those are the people who I stay furthest away from. If they can’t even wear a mask you know they aren’t being cautious in their day to day life. 
 

It sucks for the cast having to deal with her. She’s been sulking around for ages and barely can read her lines as it is.

I agree. I'd can her ass, and I don't dislike Kelly usually. To me it's a firing offense and she can't be trusted. (Plus, Hartley was better in the role in one day than she's been in god knows how many years)

That’s what makes me more willing to accept firing her. It would be another story if she was there giving it her all, but how you gonna be this difficult when you don’t even try?! 

[John]

She refused to wear a mask. I would have tossed her out . I hope GH has Lindsay on speed dial. Cause I bet Kelly may play nice for a minute but I bet she shows out again

[Soapsuds]

She must be a Trumpster.

[Soaplovers]

While I think LH has been fab as a temp Sam.  Her energy doesn't fit on the stark, melancholy vibe GH has had for well over a decade.  Still...I didn't fall asleep watching Sam like I did with Kelly M was on.

 

Lastly, in one of the Locher room reunions..Holly G (from days and Oltl) said everyone is replacable.and even cited the KM/LH as an example.

Sorry if this has already been answered, but why did LH have to sub for KM? Is KM a Trump-y or is there some other motivation for not wearing a mask? I would have expected some others on the show to refuse wearing a mask. 

[Soap-princess]

She must want to be fired so she can hang out with BM on the unemployment line. 

[GLATWT88]

Ha! Just saw this - should have gone further back. Aren't there a few alleged Trumpsters

on the show? That's why I was surprised as there were several who would have come to mind had you told me someone on GH was refusing to wear a mask before I would have guessed KM, but it was made clear it was a woman so I guess that makes sense.

[Vee]

I doubt she's a Trump person so much as plain ignorant and petulant like so many folks at the moment.

KM's mother tweeted that KM had trouble using the mask, and that she has claustrophobia.  The show didn't make a statement.  KM didn't make a statement.  It was only tweets from her mother.

 

But the pandemic has been around for months and she never got used to wearing a mask? What? 

[Chris B]

I knew that was a damn lie the moment her mom said it. That doesn’t even make any sense.

^ That was July 31st.

 

 

 

 

But meanwhile on July 27th ...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Steve Burton and Bradford Anderson did a facebook Live on Aug 13 and when somebody asked them about KM, they replied that KM is back working.
On the same day, Lindsay Hartley tweeted and instagrammed "Thank you generalhospitalabc for the fortunate experience to play Sam, and especially during this moment in time.

It was a fun ride."

We've all seen the tweets. They're a cover story and excuse. She should be fired.

[John]

I bet she plays nice for a week or so and then pulls this again. If that happens, just hire Lindsay full time
