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.
