Later, she returned to the series for the 2012 all-star season with her pro dance partner Val Chmerkovskiy, where she came in third place.
On X, fans slammed Frank Valentini, the executive producer for the ABC soap opera, writing "Imagine if Kelly Monaco is rehired and Frank gets fired. Poetic justice."
One X user wrote: "Kelly Monaco did NOTHING to deserve this and that's all I'm gonna say about it." Another said, "Kelly Monaco has been disrespected by Frank, Varni, & their writers for YEARS. Constantly sidelined & why? Not like Sam (McCall) ever struggled for material."
Another wrote: "The amount of disrespect Kelly Monaco and many of (the) women cast of Port Charles gets is ridiculous. This is awful. Sam is one of the best characters and the disservice the writers have given the character is why this ship is sailing. Make this right!"
