She’s usually one of the quietest daytime television stars out there but suddenly it looks like she’s got a lot that she wants to get off her chest.

Clearly, we are talking about General Hospital alum Kelly Monaco, who was once best known for her role as Sam McCall on the hit ABC soap.

Kelly Monaco Hits a Personal Milestone

The actress recently revealed that she’s been six months sober, and yes that is definitely a huge milestone.

That said, Kelly has been relatively quiet though and hasn’t posted anything on social media in the past year.

But just in one week, she’s posted about her sobriety, her mother’s birthday, the third anniversary of Billy Miller’s death, and so much more.

So, could this mean that Kelly might be looking to get back to work and better yet, back to Port Charles?

Maybe. It’s been two years since she’s last been seen on the canvas and there’s no doubt that her fans certainly do miss seeing Kelly in action.

But at the same time, a lot of critics believe that Kelly might have burned every bridge there is in the soap opera world. There was some speculation suggesting that she was going to join the cast of Beyond The Gates, but that never happened.

And while the writers of The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful and even Days of Our Lives could have easily fit her in, she was never given a role on those shows, either.

Could a Daytime Comeback Be Next?

Now, no one knows what might be going on behind closed doors, but one thing is for certain: Kelly is back and she does want the entire world to know it.

So far Kelly herself has not made any comments about the matter, but whether or not she does come back on the canvas remains to be seen. There’s no doubt that her fans are going to be crossing their fingers until that happens.
