Monaco Takes Hallmark By Storm!
Fans of GENERAL HOSPITALâs Kelly Monaco (Sam) may want to circle Saturday, May 14, on their calendars! Thatâs the day she sheds Samâs black wardrobe and sexy image to play Rob Estesâ dumped girlfriend in the Hallmark Channelâs original movie, Edge Of The Garden. âRob plays my fiancĂŠ. He meets another girl and he leaves me!â Monaco says. âShe gets really mad and goes to his house. She finds this locket and gets all pissed off. But,â Monaco interjects with a hardy laugh, âI donât take my clothes off, so I was really excited for that! I was, âMom! I booked a movie and I donât even have to get naked!'â
On a more serious note, Monaco notes the high quality of the Hallmark brand. âHallmark makes good movies. I had so much fun. I wish I were in it more than I was, but they couldnât because of my [GH] schedule,â she laments. âI could only commit to seven shooting days. But itâs fun, itâs cute, and we had a good time shooting it.â And the bonus? âIt was cool to do something different and actually get to wear my hair in a ponytail and wear clothes in color. I had a red dress on! It was awesome!â
Edge Of The Garden, a Hallmark Channel Original Movie World Premiere, will debut this Saturday, May 14, at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
