Say it isn’t so! General Hospital comings and goings say that actress Kirsten Storms, who is best known for her role as Maxie Jones on the hit ABC soap, is leaving the series. But don’t worry, she’s not leaving for too long. She is just being temporarily replaced by incoming actress Nicole Paggi. Here’s what you need to know.
General Hospital Breaking News: Kirsten Storms Is Out!
If Maxie looked a little different during the Thursday, December 27th show, that’s because it was the first episode that Nicole had made her debut. Kirsten has not said why she is leaving the show, but this isn’t the first time she’s stepped away from the camera. Even though she’s played Maxie since 2005, she was temporarily recast by Jen Lilley back in 2011 and Molly Burnett in 2016 and 2018.
While Kirsten has been rather quiet on social media, fans have noticed that she’s looked a little different on the canvas. Some have even pointed out that it’s time for Kirsten to have a major wardrobe overhaul on the show. There’s only so many lumberjack vests that Maxie can wear in one week, right? Well, some comments included, “Why is GH dressing you in the worst clothes possible? You used to wear such beautiful clothes on the show and now they have you in oversized shirts and sweaters.”

Another person wrote, “I noticed the same, but, I don’t know if it is GH’s doing. Sometimes actors wear their own clothes. — Though, maybe that’s just for extras. I was told what to wear/bring as an extra on a show. (I didn’t do it as there was a scheduling conflict.) At any rate, she’s gorgeous and I wondered why the less attractive wardrobe when, as you stated, she used to wear such beautiful clothes.”
Needless to say, soap opera fans will just have to tune in to find out what will happen next. General Hospital airs weekdays on the ABC network. Check your local listings for times.
