Weren't there rumors that she had tested positive for Covid?  Maybe that's why.

Kelly taped. She is in the promo

I really enjoy Lindsay Hartley so I look forward to this. I hope they somehow get her into a scene with Brook Kerr. Also hoping Kelly Monaco is well. I wonder if she came up Covid positive, hence the need for a sudden recast. They won’t have time to rewrite scripts so I imagine as this happens they would have to use temp recasts.

Maybe it's pre-shutdown stuff?  Idk, there were rumors two GH actresses tested positive and 1 was strongly hinted to be KeMo not sure about the other one.  Honestly, who knows?  But that makes sense.  Hope she is okay as well.  

 

I am trying to imagine LH as Sam.  It's hard to imagine.  She is a much higher energy actress, but I like her so I am interested.

The other one was Chole Lanier

People have been dream casting LH as Sam for a while on twitter. This should be permanent. Kelly has been bored for years. Get rid of her already.

 

As far as the promo, some are saying portions of it was filmed before they shutdown. There was speculation she tested positive for Covid then she went private on IG for a minute. Her rabid stans are losing it right now.

I’d like to know when she’s airing, I’ve always enjoyed her as an actress but stopped watching GH like two years ago.

LH is a boon to any show.

 

I don't think these shows should be taping period right now, I don't think they should come back without a) a hard reset in story and cast and b) certainty of safety, which is months away at best. And I think anyone else who cheers for them to come back without that is an idiot not worth my time. I hope Kelly Monaco is healthy.

 

 

Those were almost certainly taped before the shutdown. Which should not be ending at all, but people unquestionably get enthusiastic about this stupid [!@#$%^&*].

That’s actually really exciting news! Maybe I’ll tune in!

[AbcNbc247]

I can’t see her as Sam either, but I’m definitely looking forward to it 

[WebberFan]

Kelly's mother is on Twitter replying to fans and claims that she had difficulty wearing the masks on-set and was put into unexpected 14 day quarantine despite multiple negative tests. She's expected to return to set on Monday.

I wish KeMo the best but honestly she hasn't been investing in Sam for years. Shame the recast is only temporary.

[YRBB]

She's finally playing a white woman? Exciting!

 

I've liked her in every role I've seen her, so I'll check this out.

That’s hilarious.
