As we previously reported, when Erika Slezak (ex-Viki, OLTL) began taping last week in her new role on General Hospital, she had shared how wonderful it was to reconnect with old friends from One Life to Live, one of which is Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis). On ‘One Life,’ Grahn played the role of Beverly Wilkes from 1978-1982.

Taking to her Instagram and posing for a selfie with Erika, Nancy shared a behind the scenes story of how Erika went to bat for her when she decided to leave the show and head west to Los Angeles, much to the apparent chagrin of then OLTL producer, Joe Stuart, who, in turn, sued Grahn.

Nancy reflected how excited she was to get her first big break on the former ABC daytime soap opera, “My very first job on television was One Life To Live. I was finishing school and working on the show as a non contract recurring character, Beverly Wilkes. I had grown up watching OLTL with my mom and sister, so to be working with Judith Light. Gerald Anthony and Erika Slezak was surreal and thrilling.”

She continued, “It was four years into this amazing gig, where I remained un-contracted and free to do other things as long I gave them 7 days notice. When I was seriously being considered for the role of Stella Siegel in NBC’s The Gangster Chronicles, I was on my 3rd screen test and it had narrowed down between myself and actress Kathleen Lloyd. I was being flown from NYC to Los Angeles for that test, and decided to stay in LA regardless.”

“Not being under contract, I was requited to give OLTL seven days notice,” Nancy explained, “The producer Joe Stuart, sued me for leaving even though I had every right to leave. I was very young and intimidated by this threat and went to Erika for advice. Erika, without being asked to, went directly into her bosses office and told him in no uncertain terms that what he was doing was unconscionable, mean and unwarranted.”

Erika came to Nancy’s rescue, “She got right in the middle of a lawsuit and stood up for me, because she believed what her boss was doing to me was wrong, and undeserved,” remembered Grahn. “She spoke up for me. That’s the kind of woman Erika is. In addition to that, she’s an outstanding, consummate well awarded actress who was a mentor to me as I watched her and learned up close how to be truthful and effective in this medium.”

In a full-circle moment Nancy expressed, “So, to meet up with her again after decades, still beautiful and elegant as always, was a true joy.  It is no secret how much I respect and appreciate formidable, courageous women, and Erika is unquestionably one of them.  BTW, My case was settled in arbitration and I won.”

Do you remember Nancy on One Life to Live as Beverly Wilkes? What did you think about how Erika stood up for her during when Nancy left the soap? Comment below.

I was definitely watching OLTL at the time (1978-1982 were my college years) but I can’t for the life of me remember the character of Beverly. Although back then the soaps I was the most involved with were GH, DAYS & Y&R.

“I was very young and intimidated by this threat”

Oh I bet.

Well, I bet it’s true.

Nancy Lee Grahn’s Instagram accounts is one of my favorites!

I vaguely remember Nancy with Marco Dane back in the day on One Life to Live. I am not surprised that Erika Slezak stood up for Nancy against a tyrant of a producer. I’ve always heard that Erika is a very honest and supportive person who sticks up for newer performers.

‘General Hospital’ Favorite Kirsten Storms Gives Update on Apartment Break-in That Caused “Unnecessary Custody Case”

Published

By

Kirsten Storms

Kirsten Storms (Maxie, GH) is sharing more details on the December 2025 apartment break-in and the difficulties she has had with the Tennessee police, plus how the original incident, according to the actress, played into her ex-husband, Brandon Barash (ex-Johnny, GH and ex-Stefan/Jake, Days) filing a restraining order against her and the custody case involving their daughter, Harper.

The popular actress had played GH’s Maxie Jones on and off since 2005, after coming to the ABC soap opera following her run as Belle Black on Days of our Lives. As GH fans know, Storms last appearance on General Hospital was back in March of this year. In recent episodes, the character of Maxie was written-out along with her entire family and Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) and relocated to Australia.

Now, Kirsten explained via Instagram and with shared photo of the December police report, which indicated Storms had placed a call to the Franklin Police Department to report a break-in at her Tennessee apartment. The report states that Storms was away from her apartment for about a week in August of 2025, and when she returned home, she found damage to the deadbolt on her door, as well as other missing items.

KIRSTEN STORMS SPEAKS OUT ABOUT CUSTODY CASE OVER HER DAUGHTER

Then, Storms fired back at naysayers in the ongoing comments on her break-in situation, stating: “Please do not tell me (or ask me) not to post these things. I’m hoping this is the last item I post (of the documents I have on the break-in at my old apartment in Tennessee). I’m only doing this because that lead to an **unnecessary custody case** being filed against me.”

It was back in April that TMZ learned, through obtaining of court documents, that Barash cited Storms for having mental health issues so he filed a restraining order against her. Kirsten expressed in her latest post, that she was asked to meet with a mediator in the custody case for her daughter, not a judge, and that her mental health issues were being used against her instead of people focusing on the break-in.

Storms added, “However, the break-in … followed by a ‘custody case/now mediation request’ where the break-in was the main reason for the initial custody filing, was unwarranted.”

PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH CHECK

Kirsten also shared on her health status,”I have always been proactive about my medical care (all aspects), as well as Harper’s (<—— the MOST important person to me). I’ve also been attempting to get checkups with a neurosurgeon/neurologist for my brain aneurysm and brain cysts. And tbh, I have a psychologist that I’ve seen for years, who I’m kinda attached too. She’s f’ing incredible and understands the kind of therapy sessions I need. Addressing what should NOT be the focus (mental illness), is frustrating for me”

You can check out Kirsten’s latest post on the custody matter, and her ongoing battle over the apartment break-in while in Tennessee below.

Now let us know, glad to hear from Kirsten and hear more of her side of the custody story and her ongoing issues with this apartment break-in? Let us know via the comment section below, and if you miss seeing her on-screen on General Hospital and hope one day she will come back.

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: An Arrest is Made in the Disappearance of Jack Brennan

This week on all-new episode of General Hospital, WSB agent Baines (Alimi Ballard) is on the hunt for the person responsible for the disappearance of Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna). GH viewers know that a deceased Jack was buried six feet under by Ava (Maura West) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) after finding him dead and floating in the Metro Court pool.

Now, in the latest GH promo and video spoilers for the week of August 24-28, suspicion continues to fall on Ava, Drew, Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) and Nina (Cynthia Watros), who Drew set up to take the fall.

A pair of gloved hands are seen holding Jack’s wallet, the same wallet the Drew implanted in Nina’s car. Ava is seen warning Drew, “A man like Brennan doesn’t just disappear.” Then we hear the voiceover of Nina pondering, “How exactly are we going to deal with that?” Will Drew also throw Ava under the bus to keep himself anywhere near being a major suspect in the crime?

SUSPECTS ARE MOUNTING

Then, Baines, who has stepped in as the acting WSB Port Charles bureau chief, is seen saying, “I have some questions for you.” Quick shots of Drew, Nina, Willow, Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Ava flash through the promo.

At the conclusion of the promo entitled “Not Good At All,” referencing Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) statement to her daughter Molly (Kristen Vaganos) earlier in the video, Baines is at the Metro Court Gardens where he clearly is at someone’s table and informs them, “You’re under arrest.”
