General Hospital fans will see a familiar face stepping in as Sam McCall for Kelly Monaco this week. Lindsay Hartley will take on the role again.

Hartley As Sam

Soap Opera Digest reported that Hartley will appear as Sam on GH for several episodes starting this week. The episodes she’s in were filmed the last time Hartley stepped in for Monaco on the ABC soap. GH frequently shoots parts of episodes out of order, which is why Hartley will be on once again this week.

Viewers will remember that Hartley portrayed the character during the funeral for Molly (Kristen Vaganos) and TJ’s (Tajh Bellow) unborn baby, who died when surrogate Kristina (Kate Mansi) fell out a window during a confrontation with Ava (Maura West).

Recently, news broke that Monaco is out as Sam and the character will die when the actress exits. It’s unclear when Monaco’s last airdate will be. Over the weekend, the actress took to Instagram to remember her late co-star and friend, Billy Miller, on the first anniversary of his death.
