General Hospital (GH) spoilers indicate that fans are still shocked about the news that soap veteran, Kelly Monaco has been fired from the show.

Monaco has been playing the role of Sam McCall since October 2003, and reports reveal that Kelly was “blindsided” by the daytime drama’s decision to get rid of her character.

General Hospital Spoilers – When Fans Should Expect Sam McCall’s Departure?

GH spoilers state that reports reveal Sam is expected to exit the soap by this fall. As the daytime drama films weeks ahead of time, viewers shouldn’t be surprised if McCall’s exit occurs sometime in November, which is Sweeps month.

All major activities in the land of soaps revolve around February, May, and November Sweeps, so fans need to brace themselves for a major event around Sam’s departure from the canvas.

Reports also indicate that the show plans to kill off Sam McCall in light of Kelly’s exit. How could this happen? Here are some theories:

GH Spoilers – Theory #1 – Saving One Of Her Exes Or Dante Falconeri

Sam is known for instinctually jumping in to save the day. After all, she placed her life and freedom on the line to tap into the FBI’s server to find out the information the agency had on her ex, Jason Morgan (Steve Burton), recently.

Could Same try to save Jason, Drew Quartemaine (Cameron Mathison), or Dante Falconeri and risk her own life? The aftermath and guilt of an action like this one would create another storyline where either man struggles with the idea that Sam died, so they could live.

General Hospital Spoilers: Theory #2 – Taking A Bullet For One Of Her Kids

Sam’s a momma bear at heart, so if she saw either Scout Quartermaine (Cosette Abinante) or Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn) in danger, she’d spring into action without giving it a second thought.

If either child’s life was placed in jeopardy because of Jason and his ties to Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), this would launch an incredible arc where Danny may feel guilty. After all, Sam’s been warning him to stay away from his father because of Jason’s dangerous lifestyle.

Danny will begin to see why his mom was so dead set against a relationship with his dad, and he may grow to resent his father in the aftermath of his mom’s passing.

GH Spoilers – Theory #3 – A Catastrophe Hits Port Charles

Explosions, shoot-outs, fires, bombs, tornados, rainstorms – these are all things that can occur in the land of Port Charles, and there’s always a character or two that ends up becoming a victim of the occurrence. Could Sam’s passing be linked to a catastrophe that hits the little town?

If the incident is mob-related, things could get sticky between Danny, Jason, Dante, and Sonny.
