5 Things ‘General Hospital’ Fans Don’t Know About Kelly Monaco

ABC General Hospital spoilers and updates reveal she’s been on daytime television for so many years now that fans are certain that General Hospital star Kelly Monaco is a legend in the making. After all, life in Port Charles wouldn’t be the same without her character, Sam McCall.

Here are five things you probably didn’t know about Kelly Monaco.

#1 She Wasn’t Always Known As Sam McCall

While fans certainly know Kelly best from her role on Baywatch and as Sam McCall on General Hospital, that’s not how she started off her career on daytime television. Before she became Sam, the actress actually played a character by the name of Livvie Locke on the General Hospital spinoff Port Charles.

#2 She Had A Private School Upbringing

Kelly was just as cute as a little girl as she is beautiful as a woman now. The actress revealed on her Instagram account that she was the quintessential Catholic school girl growing up, with the cute pigtails, dimpled cheeks, and yes, the iconic school uniform, too.

#3 Health Matters

You won’t see General Hospital Kelly Monaco chomping on a fat, juicy burger during her lunch break on the set of General Hospital anytime soon. That’s because the actress is a vegetarian. The actress loves to cook at home using her own vegetables and herbs from her garden.

#4 She’s An East Coast Gal

Kelly Monaco might be calling Los Angeles home these days, but her heart will always belong to Philly. She’s still close with her mother, Carmina Monaco, and her two nephews, who often visit her in L.A. In fact, Carmina was one of the first to confirm that Kelly was taking a break from the show after she had some difficulty with the new CDC guidelines that say all actors must wear a mask behind the scenes.

#5 She’s Worth More Than Steve Burton

Even though you can’t have Sam McCall without Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) and you can’t have Jason Morgan without Sam McCall, believe it or not, actress Kelly Monaco is worth a little more at $4 million compared to Steve Burton’s $3 million. The fact that she was also crowned the winner of the first-ever season of Dancing With The Stars surely has something to do with it.
