SHOKING TWIST – General Hospital Preview: There’s Still a Glimmer of Hope for Sam

Now that we’ve gotten to the point where we’re pretty sure we’re counting Sam’s remaining time on General Hospital down to days, rather than weeks, it’s starting to hit us just how much we’re going to lose when she’s gone.

We won’t just be mourning the death of a beloved character, but also the death of so much potential and so many stories.

We can hear it as well as you can, the sound of a clock tick, tick, ticking down to General Hospital fave Sam taking her last breath.

But the preview for the Wednesday, Oct. 23, episode still holds out hope that Kelly Monaco’s character may be given a last-minute reprieve.

As you’ll see below, though only yesterday Lucas agreed to operate on his half sister — read the recap — Isaiah makes a case for why he should perform the surgery on Lulu.

Since the new doctor in town is supposed to be the best of the best, heaven knows he’s somebody you’d want on hand in the O.R.

If things go south with Sam, Isaiah could leap into action to help Lucas save her… that is, if he isn’t up to his wrists in Lulu’s transplant at that point.

Yeah, we know. We’re grasping at straws. The writing was on the wall for Sam when the news broke this summer that Monaco had been let go.

It is a head-scratcher, though, why the character would be written off just as Lulu was being awakened (with All My Children vet Alexa Havins stepping into the role).

You would think that the show would want to play the Lulu/Dante/Sam triangle that we’ve been anticipating since Sonny’s son and ex-lover got together.

And that’s just one of several Sam stories that General Hospital is taking a pass on telling
