'General Hospital' Cast News: Is Kelly Monaco & Billy Miller's Off-Screen Romance Causing Tension On-Set? [PHOTO]
It appears that one General Hospital pair's off-screen romance may be causing tension on the soap's set.
According to a new report by Celebrity Dirty Laundry, Kelly Monaco (Sam) and Billy Miller's (Jake/Jason) real-life off-screen relationship is causing problems with their co-stars, who are allegedly becoming jealous that the pair will become too much of a power couple-and will fight for more screen time and hog the limelight on the show with more Jasam centric storylines.
In addition there has been concerns that the two will take issue with their current on-screen pairings. The show currently has Miller's character hooked up with Liz Weber (Rebecca Herbst), while Sam is with Patrick (Jason Thompson)--and both have filmed huge sex scenes.
The couple's romance has been a topic for constant speculation since they were spotted together in Malibu over the July 4th weekend this summer-frolicking together in the water off of a beach. Since then, both have been notably silent on social media, preferring to keep a lower profile as a couple. However, it appears the romance is still getting unwanted attention because of the on-set concerns.
The two aren't the first ones from the show to meet on-set and fall in love however, and other couples haven't seen their romance off-screen effect their on-screen time. Kirsten Storms (Maxie Jones) and Brandon Barash (Johnny Zacchara) are now married and have a daughter together, while Rebecca Herbst and Michael Saucedo (Juan Santiago) are also married and parents to three sons. Bryan Craig (Morgan Corinthos) and Kelly Thiebaud (Britt Westbourne) also announced their engagement in recent months.
General Hospital airs Monday-Friday at 3 p.m. on ABC.
