Members Vee Posted August 27, 2024 Members Share Posted August 27, 2024 Not surprising to me at this point. I was just saying Sam has been spent for years and should be killed off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ranger1rg Posted August 27, 2024 Members Share Posted August 27, 2024 Disgusting decision to fire Kelly Monaco. Fans are going to go BALLISTIC, and I hope Frank and his writers and the execs all go to hell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted August 27, 2024 Members Share Posted August 27, 2024 Can't say I am sorry about this. Feel bad for Monaco I suppose. Sam hasn't been useful.........ever. She does have a lot a diehard fans though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted August 27, 2024 Members Share Posted August 27, 2024 They could have just hired Lindsay Hartley full time… The show has a hell of a lot more dead weight I’d rather see leave before, even if I do feel Sam is a spent character. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted August 27, 2024 Members Share Posted August 27, 2024 I do hope they will do the story I suggested when @DRW50 and I discussed this exact eventuality a month or two ago: Have Jason and Alexis dive into a vicious custody battle. This would also likely push Alexis back to the bottle or close to it; she has not suffered a loss like this since Kristina Sr. That's something I'd commit to watching, despite having zero investment in this show long-term with the current creatives. I think the fallout from her death has more value at this point than keeping Sam herself. But yes, I'd cut half the cast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted August 27, 2024 Members Share Posted August 27, 2024 I would hire Hartley full time myself. I can also see the idea of just killing Sam off because she hasn't done anything for years. Why spend money on Hartley walking around talking to people and having no story? It's clear the character was spent. I probably would have had Sam leave town, but then she's taking her kids which I suppose have potential storylines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted August 27, 2024 Members Share Posted August 27, 2024 Exactly. Sam has been spent IMO since at least 2016, though I probably would've cut her long before that. I think LH has done a good job and Kelly has tried in recent months/years, but what is the point? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted August 27, 2024 Members Share Posted August 27, 2024 She has been phoning in her scenes for years. That first month of uncredited Mulcahey, Sam was the best she had been in almost a decade. Frank has also been marginalizing her since the Jason/Drew story. I am shocked she lasted this long. I have some empathy for her, she’s had a rough couple of years in her personal life. But she seemed miserable on GH for as long as I can remember. I wonder what was the final nail in the coffin? That temp recast is really interesting now. She is expensive, I wonder if more returns are coming or if Lulu is it for a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted August 27, 2024 Members Share Posted August 27, 2024 Yikes! They are killing Sam off?! I think the simple thing would've been to just have her leave town as she realized Dante had feelings for Lulu still. Killing her off will be pointless as they'll undo it in a matter of time anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members carolineg Posted August 27, 2024 Members Share Posted August 27, 2024 If it was up to me I would have cut KeMo/Sam way, way, way before 2016. I think DWTS gave her new life plus Frons or whoever really liked her and her wacky JaSam fans have carried her for years. Sam has no story, she reacts to other peoples lives, the show isn't invested in Dante/Sam, and it seems clear she or SBu aren't interested in JaSam, so what's left? Especially when you are bringing Lulu back. Sam becomes pretty expendable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
