Congratulations are in order to the beautiful and talented duo of Kirsten Storms (Maxie Jones) and Brandon Barash (Ex-Johnny) of General Hospital! According to a story that just broke today via PEOPLE magazine, the couple were married back in June, and Storms is pregnant with the couple’s first child, a baby girl!
Barash told PEOPLE why the decision to keep everything hush-hush until now: “We kept things quiet because of everything that can go wrong during the first trimester. Kirsten did have a rocky [time] and we were in and out of the hospital.” The pregnancy came as a surprise to the couple because of Kirsten’s battle with endometriosis.
Barash revealed, “We talked about wanting to have kids and Kirsten was told she could try hormone therapy. It was pretty bleak as far as the probability of her being able to get pregnant … but then we got back from a trip to Amsterdam and discovered we were expecting. We calculated that we conceived the baby in Tony Geary‘s (Luke’s) guest room!”
Brandon is very excited to welcome their baby daughter into the world! “We’re having a little girl in January. It’s been the most amazing couple of months of our lives.”
Talk about life imitating art, since Kirsten’s Port Charles alter-ego, Maxie Jones has been pregnant and giving birth on the show too! Send your well-wishes and congrats to Brandon and Kirsten here!

Congratulations on your marriage and impending parenthood. you were very smart to keep it a secret a special time like this should be cherished and enjoyed and given Kirsten’s medical issues this was a very smart move. I wish you all the best and long happy life.
Oh my god never did I think they were married. But then I don’t follow the coupling
on that show or really any other. Just so surprise they’d be married.
Congratulations!! What Wonderful news! God Bless You Both
so happy for them. Now, I just wish Brandon would come back to GH!
Me too! Congratulations to them both.
I really, really miss Brandon on GH as well. Hope to see him somewhere soon.
All the best to a talented couple.
Kirsten did a great job today in the labor scenes. I imagine a real life pregnancy made those scenes more interesting to do. I miss Brandon. Please bring him back, GH.
Maxie had me laughing out loud.
her water broke…. and when she was in the wheel chair….
“I need an outfit….” as they were heading to the hospital how Maxie is that.
her hair was a little out their… curly brown and blond ringlets…. oh well.
she was pushing it a little bit… yelping out…” I need Spinelli.”
Congratulations to u both!!!! I had no idea u 2 were married!!! I hope u have a healthy baby girl!!!!
GH should bring Brandon back to the show now he’s got a kid coming.
I am totally happy for you two and your baby girl will be beautiful and blessed. Kirsten, you fans prayed for you and we waited patiently until you came back and are overjoyed that you are going to become a mother. Take care of your self just have a Happy healthy daughter and please do not name her Zenon lol.
Congratulations on the marriage & impending birth of your 1st little girl. So i guess this makes Tony a godparent now??
Congratulations to thd both of them!!
I just found out in a news feed last week – that they were even dating.
Congrats !!

(I do miss BB/Johnny, he was a favorite of mine!!
This was a nice suprise…i wish soaps could suprise us like this…sometimes they do but not as well as they used to…spoilers(which i try to avoid) is what kills most of the fun watching soaps these days…CONGRATULATIONS TO THE BEAUTIFUL COUPLE …would like to see Johnny return…as Sonnys sidekick and together they take down the Jeromes!!!
Lots to look forward to….congrats!
WOW, this is awesome news, they look great together. i’m so happy for them.

Congrats to Kirsten and Brandon!!:) I enjoy both actors and glad they’re starting a family together. They look great tog and happy. Apparently w/a little help from Tony Geary, cool tidbit:)
All the best!!!
Awww…congrats to the happy couple and their little “Maxiccara!” Oddly enough, I always found Storms’ portrayal as pregnant to suspend belief because she remained so perky, petite and perfect (unlike Britt who moves and totally behaves like a whale of an expectant mother….) Guess the joke was on us all!!!! Just hope they don’t name the baby “Georgie!!!” LOL…..
LOL…. that’s so Funny…. the part about Britt. quite frankly… I was more invested in Britt’s… than Maxie’s pregnancy… I guess… cause we “know”, and/or thought we knew the outcome with Maxie… it wasn’t going to be hers…. from the start…. Ok… lambast me about Britt’s storyline… but… I wanted her to bond with this baby… and she, as a person…(her questionable… parents…) Britt’ was discovering her self… and questioning her being…. so… it all fit in my story, that Britt… play this all out from her point of view. and let the chips fall where they may…. her fallout,… Read more »
As someone who never was anti-Dr. Westbourne, I am actually enjoying Britt more and more, and it’s not simply because of her priceless relationship with the “mother of all mutters”….although it certainly helps!!!! Once we were treated to the “Britch’s” backstory, I found her to be intriguing and far more interesting than when she was simply this one-dimensional villainess with no explanation for her agenda/behavior. She obviously has a very damaged psyche, and is desperate for a road to redemption. At this point, it is hard to see that just becoming a mother will accomplish this objective, because it appears… Read more »
Britt.
“…She obviously has a very damaged psyche”
you said it perfectly.
how better to get involved with a story.
Kelly Thiebaud made this story… much more multi- faceted.. and multi-dimensional for Britt & the audience.
Britt’ mother… added personal intrigue… big.
Britt and Nicholas… pairing in the wings? who wouldn’t? Yikes!
props to Kelly Thiebaud again…. Jason Thompson and Tyler Christopher. Big.
mother/daughter duos are FUN, Interesting, and you cheer them on… Root…
a nice turn from the Patrick/Sabrina twist
she’s a keeper…. newbie on the rise.
perhaps “Maxie” should name “her” daughter… Tiara….
Congratulations on your wedding and new baby. I wish all three of you every happiness. I hope Brandon returns to General Hospital very soon. I miss him in the role of Johnny. I miss the role of Anthony and Joe Sr. as well. Three very talented actors gone.
So happy for both Kirsten and Brandon!!! Congratulations to both of you!!! How exciting!!! So happy you found each other and so happy you are being blessed with a very lucky little girl!!! I wish you both all the best and hope Kirsten and Baby have a very safe and healthy delivery!!! I knew that the rumor was about the two of you and again so happy for both of you!!!
Congrats to you both! i loved hearing you are married and having a child together.
Congratulations to a beautiful couple!
Congratulations on your Marriage and your Daughter due in Jan.
Congratulations, you guys make a great couple. Love the show.
Congratulations to you both, I never would have thought they were a couple. Love a good news story. God Bless the 3 of you!
Mazes Tov! God bless you all!
Congrats! It’s a bit ironic that Kirsten met her future husband via GH and they are having a baby and her tv mom, Kristina did as well!
To the most loved couple,I wish you’ll good health and safe pregnancy,Maxie I fell in love with you as Belle and love your style onGH blessing to you two.

Holly’s Alive as Emma Samms Makes a Return to General Hospital
Friday’s cliffhanger ending of General Hospital revealed that Holly is indeed alive and being held captive, but by whom? Who ever is behind this has her locked away and being watched on a surveillance system.
Viewers saw a hand of someone that is behind the kidnapping, and that Emma Samms made a return to GH in her signature role of Holly Sutton.
Samms, debuted on GH back in 1982, and has come and gone, and come back again to the ABC daytime drama series. She last appeared back on it in 2015.
Nighttime soap fans remember her fondly as Fallon on ABC’s Dynasty and its spin-off, The Colbys.

Once the secret was out on her appearance at the end of Friday’s episode, Samms shared on Twitter: “She’s alive…!”
So what do you think of the twist? That Holly is alive and that Samms was on-screen? Who do you think has Holly? Share your theories below.
