If you followed Kirsten Storms ( Maxie) of General Hospital last night on her fun twitter page, you may have gotten some clues as to whether or not Storms is getting set for her big return to the soapland! As many know, the beloved and talented Storm, took a medical leave from the ABC soap several months ago and had been temporarily replaced by actress, Jen Lilley.

Now Kirsten tweeted, “Handled some bizzznaaas today. being a grown up is tiring…AND I DON’T EVEN HAVE KIDS!”

Then Storms fans and followers began to question what she meant by her tweet where she next indicated to them, “You will be happy with this news. (and good guess btw) ….I ‘m trying to give you as many hints that I can without getting in trouble….sssshhhhh.”

Are you excited if Storms is finally on her way back into the action of Port Charles, just as new EP and headwriter, Frank Valentini and Ron Carlivati are taking over the PC ship? Let us know!

I’m decdicated to Kristen and (Maxi) because of my commentment to the show. But I will tell you something, her replacement has had to be the one of the HARDEST and MOST SIGNIFICANT in daytime history, because of HOW the role is played. Actress, Jen Lilley. has been remarkable bringing the kind of energy to the character that Kristen does. In fact yesterday, I was on line and I had to STOP and look up to the T.V., because Jen Lilley soundes so much like Kristen. Dorothy Lyman was the 1st Opal on AMC and then Jill Larson took ovver (22years ago) and she was able to enact, sound, and give the same kind of presence to role as Dorothy, all the while, while making it her own, so not to MISS Dorthy, who brought such a uniqueness to the role. Jill should have taken home an Emmy in the 22 year’s. It’s not fair, the same ole same ole being nominated. By the way, that voice Jill uses as Opal, so did Dorothy use when she had the role. Both of those women went to ths same High School and are the same age. Too bad GH cant make Jen Lilley, Maxi’s long lost twin…. that would be something.

I like maxi ,Im glad she will be coming back,I do have to say jen lilley did a good job filling in ,but there will never be a replace of kirsten storms,she is maxi.good to hear she is feeling alot better, look forward to seeing her soon.

Rose

I agree with everything you said. Jen is doing good but there no one like our Maxie. Hurry back Kirsten. You always crack me up.

I cannot wait for Kirsten to come back to GH. The story lines lately have been pretty bad. Kirsten is a great actress and she brings something to the show. Jen Lilley had some big shoes to fill and unfortunately she is no where near the level of Kirsten. She is quite annoying trying to act like Kirsten. It would have been better direction for her to bring her own to the role. I cannot even watch her scenes. As soon as she comes on, I have to fast forward through it. Which is too bad, because I really enjoy Spinnelli and miss his scenes because I cannot watch her.

Harvey

If this is true, welcome back Kirstin. Your replacement did a good job, but you are the best.

Jenna

I think that Jen Lilley has done an OUTSTANDING job in portraying Kirsten’s, Maxie, as true to form as humanly possible– but we are all looking forward to the day that Kirsten reappears on our screen as Maxie Scorpio Jones!

Alan

I may be in the minority, but I prefer Jen Lilley in the part. Her chemistry with the rest of the cast is off the charts and she brings a vulnerability to Maxie that is both heartbreaking and a joy to watch. What she’s done with the character is taken her from ditzy ingenue to neurotic adult and I’ll miss her when she leaves 🙁

Deb

This NuMaxie did a great job. But its time for KS to come back and be written as a women with ‘issues’ not as such a scatter brain.

heidi

YES!!!! I miss her and especially when there looks like a chance for Spixie to re-ignite! Can’t wait!

aria

welcome back kristen, cant wait to see you back on screen, and to jen lilley, hope they give you a part on the show , it could be confusing but its worth it to have talented people on the show.

Cindy

I will be thrilled when the news becomes official and Kirsten is finally back at GH. I’ve missed her so much and the show just isn’t the same (for me) without her.

Hillary

I have missed Kirsten soooooooo much! Maxi is my favorite and Maxi is not Maxi w/out KS!! No offense to Jen she did really awesome job and I’m sure it was not an easy one!! Yay! <3

Heather

I hope so. She’s one of the the few reamining characters worth watching in this mess of a soap.

toscanti

Jen Lilley was truely OUTSTANDING as a fill in. She certainly will go places if anyone has any sense. Welcome back Kirsten Storm.

I wish Kirsten no ill will…I certainly hope she is better. That said, I think Jen Lilley took the role of Maxie to a new height and I will miss her!!

lisa

Kudos to Jen Lilley who has done a TERRIFIC job filling in for Kristen…I hope we see her in something soon.
And welcome back Kristen.

Jen Lilley is great. But miss Kristen!

gailena gerardi

Kristin Storm is greatly missed but hope they find a spot for her sub, they did it once with one of the carlys, I think, Kristins sub is a winner too, if this is a newsletter, how do you suscribe ?Thank You

Gerry

Lilly has done a good job replacing Kirsten, but I can’t wait for Kirsten to return, she is perfect for the role of Maxie.

1loveabcsoaps

And so is Lilly. That girl is so good that U can almost forget she isn’t Kristen if you are JUST listening and not watching. It happened to me. I had to STOP what I was doing and look at the televison screen. That has only happened to me once before with a replacement.

Marty

I would love it if Kristen can come back soon. She is one of my favorite GH characters. However, I have a feeling that the change in mangament and writers has caused issues,. That might be the reason for the absense of Lucky , Luke and Robin’s characters leaving GH. I hope that the writers will see that this is indeed a bad move as all of these actors have made the roles and characters who they are and NO other actor as been able to replace them.

Janet

Kirsten posted on her twitter page that she will be back on GH at the end of the month.

Toni

Even though this Lily girl is doing okay it will be good to see Kristen back.

Rita Fenoff

how soon will maxie be back she is so missed

natalie

And here it is, February 9 and no Kirsten?? Will she be back? Do not like her replacement…they get us used to a character – and boom – she/he’s gone.

barbara t

shes still sick and needs more time off,miss her to ,hopefully she will be back if frisco shows up in town,the illness that she has ,can make you sick for a very long time ,feel bad for her and wish her well.

Cyndi Larsen

I sure hope Kirsten Storms is on her way back to GH, I really miss this actress and the way that she has created Maxie. I hope you are feeling better Kirsten, if you really are on your way back, make it soon, please!!!

mary

Terry

Dominic Zamprogna Making A Return To General Hospital

February 13, 2019

After posting a photo from an empty dressing room, Dominic Zamprogna certainly had General Hospital fans interest piqued! Turns out, Zamprogna is back shooting at the ABC daytime drama series for what it appears to be a short appearance and reprising his role as Dante Falconeri.

As fans know, Dominic departed GH in 2018, after 9 years in the role. In the photo he posted on social media, Zamprogna is in one of GH’s temporary dressing rooms for the day. His original dressing room was re-assigned to Josh Swickard (Chase), when Dom exited the show.

The last time viewers saw Dante was in the Sonny-centric episode; where Dante is the mobster and Sonny is by the book.

In current GH story, the character of Dante has been recently mentioned following his wife, Lulu (Emme Rylan) being stabbed by serial killer, Ryan Chamberlain (Jon Lindstrom). Dante’s parents, Olivia (Lisa LoCicero) and Sonny (Maurice Benard) also discussed his whereabouts. Dante had gone undercover on a major case after leaving Port Charles.

From all reports, it seems that Dominic is making a short return, but it will be more than just a one-day stint. So, stay tuned.

So, will Dante return to Lulu’s side? Do you hope Dominic’s return means more down the line? Comment below.

TONIGHT: GH’s Maurice Benard As John Gotti In Lifetime’s ‘Victoria Gotti: My Father’s Daughter’

February 9, 2019

Fans and colleagues of Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos) have been eagerly waiting to see the General Hospital star take on the role of famous mobster, John Gotti. Well, tonight (February 9th) is the night! Make sure to watch the Daytime Emmy-winner in Victoria Gotti: My Father’s Daughter on Lifetime at 8pmEST/7CST.

In the log lines for the movie. it relates: “Executive produced by Victoria Gotti herself, the movie takes us deep into the world of what it was really like to grow up as the daughter of mob boss John Gotti, revealing the glamour, glitz and unique hardships of her world. Sharing never-before-revealed stories about her life, Victoria (Chelsea Frei) tells of a sensitive child growing up with a beloved father (Maurice Benard) she worried about constantly; the tragedy of her younger brother’s death; and her turbulent romance, forbidden by her father, with the man who later became her husband. Victoria had a front-row seat to a life the world became fascinated with, all while trying to reconcile the loving father she adored with a man the outside world was determined to bring down. . The film is based on Gotti’s book This Family of Mine: What It Was Like Growing Up Gotti. Victoria Gotti will appear on camera narrating.

Benard spoke with ABC Soaps In Depth about taking on the role and wanting to get the performance just right, where he expressed: “That’s up to the audience to decide. I played him like a real-life guy who’s loyal to his people and loves his family — and that’s kind of what the story is about. It’s through Victoria’s eyes and told with complete compassion.”

As to how playing Gotti compared to his role as Port Charles’ loveable mobster, Sonny Corinthos, Maurice added: “When I was shooting the role, I didn’t really know how different it was from Sonny. But my last day, I wrapped at about 1 in the morning in Canada, flew back and went straight to work as Sonny. I remember shooting the scene and thinking, ‘Wow, Sonny’s in about second gear, Gotti’s in about fourth or fifth gear!’ It’s two different energies.”
