‘General Hospital’ Alum Kelly Monaco Marks a Powerful Six-Month Personal Milestone

General Hospital’s Kelly Monaco has taken the 6-7 trend and applied it to herself by marking an incredible personal milestone with a social media post.

The actress took to Instagram on the morning of September 15 with a simple post.

“Now the whole 6/7 thing makes sense!” she wrote alongside a photo of an app screenshot, noting that it had been six months and seven days since Monaco had a drink of alcohol.

Various former costars reacted to the post with well-wishes, including Dominic Zamprogna (Dante Falconeri) and Brandon Barash (ex-Johnny Zacchara, GH; Stefan and Jake DiMera, Days of our Lives), who wrote: “Love this. Congrats.”

Monaco has not been highly active on social media in the past two years, since she was let go from GH and her longtime character, Sam McCall, died. However, she made her Instagram return in May to mark her 50th birthday with a video of herself in shape with her football-player nephew as her trainer.

“Today I turned 50! There’s no place like home… coach @__monaco getting me back in shape,” she wrote, referring to her home state of Pennsylvania, where her social account indicates she has been spending some time. On September 12, Monaco shared a pic of herself on a boat with her mom, wishing her a happy 70th birthday.

Monaco played Samantha McCall on GH for 21 years. She began her ABC soap career on 2000 on the GH spin-off, Port Charles, as Livvie Locke. Soon after Port Charles was cancelled, ABC created the role of Sam for Monaco.

In 2024, Monaco was abruptly let go from the soap and Sam died a drug-induced heart attack after donating part of her liver to Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins). Two years later, fans are still clamoring for Monaco’s return.
