Kirsten Storms Not Returning To GENERAL HOSPITAL As Planned; Jen Lilley Continues As Maxie

GENERAL HOSPITAL's Kirsten Storms will not be resuming the role of Maxie Jones next month after all, according to Soaps In Depth. "Kirsten Storms will not be able to return as soon as originally hoped and announced," a rep for the show said. "Jen Lilley will continue to play Maxie Jones for the foreseeable future."

"I'm sad [Kirsten] is still sick," Lilley tweeted. "Rest up love! I'll keep Maxie kickin :) xo Here's to a bit more time on my favorite soap!"

Look for our new interview with Indie Soap Award nominee Bradford Anderson coming soon. When we spoke last week, he was still expecting Storms back on the show by this week.

  2. there is no MAXIE if Kirsten Storms is not portraying her. I HATE that her replacement is getting good story to act out. BUT all I keep thinking is how would the REAL Maxie play this out. I am not a young viewer. I am sadly 44 and love Kirsten as Maxie. All this material with Anthony makes me sad that we have to watch a substitute get this material. I appreciate the work the replacement is doing she just is NOT Maxie Jones.

  7. I am not happy that Kirsten is not returning as Maxie. Jen is doing a good job, but Maxie is just not Maxie. I am going to be 65 in 2 months and I just miss the real Maxie so much. I hope Kirsten gets well soon.
