Maxie’s back! Kirsten Storms finally returned to her home away from home at General Hospital’s studio today after being away from the series for an extended period of time due to medical reasons. During her time away from the Port Charles canvas, she was replaced by Jen Lilley.
It has been nearly since Storms has been gone and she tweeted her excitement with a photo of her name on a GH script for today! She added, “Happy Back to Work Day!!!! YAY!! Bag packed. Off to work.”
Storms will first be back on the air on the September 5th episode of GH! So soapers are you thrilled to hear Kirsten returned to GH today? Let us know!
I’m happy she’s doing well, but I’d rather have Jen Lilley still be in the role as Maxie Jones.
YES! “Ain’t nothin like the REAL THING BABY!” No offense to JEN she has been amaizing, but there’s nothing like the original!
Great to hear she’s back!! She better bring her A game because Jen Lilley almost stole her role for good!!
Prayers have been answered! My Fav!!
SUPER excited to see her back. She was missed.
Yes, I’m very happy she’s back!!! Just watch the karaoke video Kirsten posted on twitter…. the chemistry she has with Bradford Anderson and Julie Berman pops off the screen…… WELCOME BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Soooooo excited to have you back. Jen did a good job with acting. But you are and always will be the only Maximistia. Welcome home. We love you
Jen Lilley did a good job after being put in a very tough position, but Kirsten Storms is Maxie to me, and I’m glad she’s back. Looking forward to seeing her back on the air!
She is a wonderful Actress & thank G-D she is well enough to return!
Jen did a fantastic job but I’m super excited that Kirsten is back. Welcome home.
I think she did too. I am happy to see KS back, I am sure that JL knew it would happen. I don’t like to see any of the actors out of work and I hope JL finds new work soon. She did a great job.
Happy for Kirsten, hope Jen Lilley is doing well and wish her the BEST!!!!!!!!
YES… WooHoo!!! Can’t wait to see her back as Maxie and please… please… please bring Spixie back!!!
Woohoo!!!! AT LAST!!! I can now start watching again
Yea!!
i’m soooo happy she’s back!
So Maxie is back on the canvas by September 5th, I am thrilled that KS is back in the role. Currently it seems that Jason is on to something. I believe Maxie’s husband Matt will be out of jail soon too. I really think this new investigation will show that Ewen is the real Lisa murderer. I am looking forward to this so I hope it happens. Maybe Lisa knew who Ewen was and that he was not a Dr. at all. If you watched recently Ewen did get upset and did tell Kate to stop calling him Dr. We shall see. The show has been great, all fans should keep watching because it is getting better each and every day. The writting has been fantastic along with the acting. I am so happy with the direction the show has taken. I cannot wait for more.
What fantasyland are you from?
LOL, I was only kidding. It is just fun to throw crazy story ideas around. I love playing fantasy soaps like others like to play fantasy football.
I agree.
SO happy to have Kirsten back! Don’t mean to badmouth Jen, but she only kept the character on screen….she never was Maxie to me. I know she tried but I just couldn’t see her as Maxie. (Never saw Jennfer Bradford as Carly either.) I can start caring about Maxie again and can’t wait to see what she gets up too! Love me some Kirsten!
Glad she’s feeling well and returning to GH. Best wishes to Jen Lilley.
Yes! Welcome, back Kirsten Storms. We miss you.
Thank You!!!! Dead weight needs to leave.
Wow.. Karen.. that is not nice at all.. as a new watcher to General Hospital, I loved Jen and thought she did a great job and will miss her much. I remember Kirsten for many years as Belle on Days of our lives.. She was good.. but was not too impressed with her on her reality show..
Try not to be a bully and insult Jen and call her “Dead Weight” .. She was not dead weight. She is a young talented actress that was in a tough situation and did well stepping in for an actress that left the role due to an illness…
Okay spokes person for jen, opinions are like buttholes, everybody has one.
LOL
TS, I agree with you. I’m glad to have Kirsten back, but Jen was talented and at least kept the character alive while she was gone.
Not sure if you read or watch any of Laura Wrights interviews. She is such a great person and she really supports her fellow castmates. Whether they are veteran GH actors, newcomers and even the OLTL veterans that have come to GH, she is a cheerleader for all. She happens to mention the many bad comments that she sees on comments from FB to MF and others. I know she does not like to see negative comments made about her colleagues. I will never know if she would see you comment or if Jen Lilly would see your comment but if any of them ever did they may remember who you are and not care if watched or didnt watch GH. The economy has hit the entire country, this entire world for that matter and no one wants to see someone else to lose their job. A true fan of GH would be saddened to see any actor on the show to lose their job. Maybe you are dead weight at your job and they should get rid of you.
Boo Hoo Hoo Cry me a River!! Then I guess I’m not a true fan, especially with all the stupid writing going on over there. Maybe you should let laura & the other girl speak for themselves.
It’s true that absence makes the heart grow fonder. I never cared for the character of Maxie but Jen Lilley made her unbearable! Maxie was never as whiny as she was when played by Lilley. Storms brings that bit of bitch and vulnerability, that while annoying, is so much better than Lilley’s version. Welcome back, Kirsten!!
Best news ever. I love Kristen as Maxie. I have missed her.
Yay for Kristen!!! 🙂 I feel happy and joy since she was gone in late last year.. Maxie go back to becomes Maxie Jones once again..no more Maxie Hunter and need go after Damian Spinelli played by Bradford Anderson(he’s not my related,ok…LOL)..
NO-ONE can ever replace Ktristen. I am so happy that she is back? Time for Maxie and Spinelli to get back together.
So glad to see that Kirsten is back. Now that we have grown to love Jen Lilley, they need to give her a new role. Thanks Jen Lilley for playing the part.

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Serena Sets Her Sights on Michael; Jason’s Emotional Exit from the Mob

This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, new and old motivations come into play with dangerous consequences. According to the just released GH video spoilers video for the week of August 3-7, a bailiff calls out, “All rise!”
Now it’s Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) vs. Curtis (Donnell Turner), as the surgeon is suing the owner of the Savoy for assault that ruined is ability to operate. At the end of the day, which of these men has enough evidence against the other? Portia (Brook Kerr) is by Isaiah’s side, while Jordan (Tanisha Harper) is with Curtis.
Next, Lucy (Lynn Herring) has a plan to get the controlling shares of Deception away from Michael (Rory Gibson). She wants her daughter, Serena (Kelly Kruger) to seduce Michael. She tells her, “Pick out your most seductive suit.” Soon, we see Serena in her bathing suit at the Metro Court face to face with Michael.
Later, there is a small baggie containing three blue pills. Nina (Cynthia Watros) ask Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), “What did you do?” We also see Michael asking the same thing of Jacinda (Paige Herschell). Leading into this week, viewers know that Willow doesn’t want the former escort anywhere near her children, Amelia and Wiley. Is this how she stops her, or is Jacinda up to old tricks and wants to frame Willow? Remember when Jacindsa drugged Drew (Cameron Mathison)? Stay tuned.

Vincent Pastore of ‘Sopranos’ Fame and ‘General Hospital’s’ Maximus Giambetti Dies at 80

Vincent Pastore, best known for his memorable role as Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero on HBO’s The Sopranos has passed away.
The veteran actor was found dead on August 1st in his home in the Bronx, New York. Pastore was 80-years-old. The cause of death is yet to be determined.
As well as his role on The Sopranos, many soap fans will recall he played multiple smaller roles on the beloved One Life to Live from 1995 and 2004. However, in 2008, he landed the short-term role as Maximus Giambetti on General Hospital.

PASTORE WANTED TO BE ON GENERAL HOSPITAL
Maximus was the mobster father of Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) bodyguards: Max (Derk Cheetwood) and Milo (Drew Cheetwood)
According to Soap Opera Digest, Pastore told Soaps In Depth back in 2009, after appearing in a SOAPnet promotional campaign as a celebrity fan of General Hospital: “‘I’d love to be on the show. So they called up GH’s casting director (Mark Teschner) and Bobby (Robert Guza Jr. ex-head writer, GH) and they wrote me in!”
Pastore was a huge General Hospital fan from way back, who at one point told producers that he would watch the ABC soap opera while working in bars and nightclubs in the 70s and 80s.
Throughout his decades long career, Pastore appeared in films including: Goodfellas, Carlito’s Way and Men of Respect, The Jerky Boys: The Movie and the 1996 HBO TV movie Gotti.
In TV, besides The Sopranos, Pastore’s credits included: Law & Order, The Practice, Son of the Beach, Queens Supreme, Hawaii Five-0, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, plus the miniseries The Last Don II. Most recently, Vincent was a series regular on Gravesend and guest starred on Yellowjackets.
Pastore is survived by his daughter, Renee, son-in-law and granddaughter.
