Monaco foreshadowed the low key soap death, mentioning that she was displeased with the nothing burger exit her longtime character endured. Usually soap deaths are drawn out, emotionally draining affairs that generate additional storylines.
No doubt Sam’s death will result in some juicy plots in the coming days. After all, Sam’s death came in what was a very soapy storyline–she died after donating part of her liver to her SO Dante Falconeri’s (Dominic Zamprogna) ex-wife. Cue the dramatic music.
