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.

Nancy Lee Grahn’s Star-Studded ALS Fundraiser Reveals “I’ll Be There” Video Featuring Soap Opera Notables

Talk about your impressive line-up! It’s a soap fans dream and for a great cause. General Hospital’s Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis) is prepping her one-night only ALS fundraiser which will feature many of her friends and co-stars.

The benefit is set for May 4th in Glendale, California. Slated to participate are Genie Francis, Jane Elliot, Peter Bergman, Maurice Benard, Eileen Davidson, Thorsten Kaye, Michelle Stafford, Stephen Nichols, Rena Sofer, Jason Thompson, Kelly Monaco, Melissa Claire Egan, Maura West, Kristina Wagner, Gregory Harrison, Trevor St. John, Kate Mansi, Kirsten Storms, Cynthia Watros, and many others.

On Wednesday, Grahn took to her social media and released an “I’ll be there” video shout-out featuring, Monaco, Elliot, Bergman, Bernard, West, Harrison, St. John and more. In a touching and important moment in the new video, Michelle Strogny, who is battling ALS, is featured.

Previously, in speaking with Soap Opera Digest on the impetus of the event, Grahn recalled, “I was actually doing Zoom events during Covid and I met this woman that I just fell in love with, Michelle Strojny. At the time, Michelle had been living with ALS for four years. Now, it’s five years. She is a mom of a teenage son, she has the most wonderful husband, and she has been dealing with this [disease] for quite a while. And obviously, there isn’t a cure yet. It’s not survivable yet. But as she says, it’s not incurable. Nothing is; it’s underfunded. But anyway, I just really dug this woman. She is so grounded and filled with grace, and she spends all of her time working to raise money for the cause. We did a fundraiser for her last year and then I thought, ‘You know what? The soaps don’t ever get together to do something for charity.’ Collectively, we have this amazing community and we don’t collectively use it for a good cause, and I think it’s such an easy thing for us to do and we could potentially really make a difference.”

As GH viewers know, Gregory Harrison is playing the character of Gregory Chase, who is also battling ALS in a touching storyline that is currently playing out shedding a light on this disease.

‘General Hospital’ Writer Shannon Peace Let Go, and Shares on Sprina: “One of My Only Regrets is to Not Have the Opportunity to Develop That ‘Ship’ Further”

As General Hospital’s new head writing team of Elizabeth Korte and Patrick Mulcahy gets off the ground and running, there are still changes a foot on the writing team.

Now comes word via breakdown writer Shannon Peace that she is no longer on contract with the long-running ABC soap heading into its 61st season. Peace shared a heartfelt message on her Instagram, thanking the fans, and the show for the opportunity and the importance of diversity in the writers room.

Peace began, “After almost 3 years on staff and 106 episodes penned, I am no longer on contract with General Hospital. Writing for this country’s longest running television serial drama has been an education of epic proportions; I will forever be grateful that I earned my WGA card on a daytime fixture that holds memories for so many.” (Peace pictured below with GH EP Frank Valentini and script writer, Charlotte Gibson from about ten months ago).

Shannon added “Even more importantly, as the sole Black breakdown writer (and only POC in the writers room) during my tenure, I pushed for vital interactions and discussions that prioritized inclusion, visibility, and representation”

The writer pointed to the example of vital interaction when in story, “Stella and Portia’s frank July 2022 conversation about the role race played in Esme’s framing of Trina is just one example of the impact I’m gratified to have had.”

Acknowledging former GH co-head writers was also part of Peace’s farewell expressing, “Appreciation to my former bosses, Chris Van Etten and Dan O’Connor – not only taking a chance on me, but for valuing my opinion and championing my voice.”

Many GH fans know that Peace was key to the development of the love story between Trina Robinson and Spencer Cassadine as played by Tabyana Ali and Nicholas Chavez. Shannon gave a special shout-out to ‘Sprina’ fans, “I also want to thank fans who were supportive of my work, especially the recognition of my love for ‘Sprina’. One of my only regrets is not having to develop that ‘ship’ further.”

She concludes her statement with,”In the aftermath of a historic writer’s strike that shed new light on the troubling ways writers are regarded in daytime, my sincere hope is that General Hospital recommits to valuing staff writer efforts and input, with a more intentional focus on diverse viewpoints — and thrives for another 60 years.”

Accompanying her post, Shannon added, “Thank you all for the love and support these last few years. I hope GH fans get all they hope for and more!”

So, what do you think about GH not renewing Shannon’s contract? Will there be more continued changes afoot? What do you think is the future of ‘Sprina’ anyway at this point as viewers wait to see if Nicholas Chavez officially returns to the show?  Comment below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason Learns Britt Died and Tells Anna He Has Been Working For Cates Since November 2021

On the Tuesday, March 26th of General Hospital, Anna (Finola Hughes) and the viewers learn about where Jason (Steve Burton) has been for over two and half years. However, Jason gets some news of his own.

Anna is visiting Jason at the PCPD interrogation room. She asks him if he shot Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), which he flatly denies. Anna believes him, but she tells Jason it doesn’t matter, because video footage shows him on the roof at the time of the shooting

When talk turns to Jason not willing to speak without his lawyer present, Anna can’t grasp why Jason would instead spend an hour alone talking with John Cates (Adam J. Harrington).

It is then that Anna brings up that John went by “Jagger” and that the two of them knew each other in high school. Jason doesn’t recall much of his time in high school following his brain injury, but then he gets furious realizing John knew about “Jason’s” past. That is when Jason slams the table and tells Anna, “I’ve been working for John Cates since November 2021.”

Next, Jason explains further that he has been working as an informant for the FBI. Anna wants to know how this came about and he tells her that after the tunnel collapsed, and he couldn’t make it to Britt (Kelly Thiebaud)… all of a sudden he sees Anna’s face drop.  Anna is the first person to tell him that Britt died and was murdered. She tells Jason the killer is in custody, but he continues to be shocked, overwhelmed with tears welling up in his eyes. Realizing he has to pivot to save his life, Jason continues telling Anna how he wound up working with John.

Jason explains that after the tunnel collapse in Greece, FBI agents grabbed him and placed him under arrest and took him to Quantico where he met John. At Quantico, John played a recording of RICO violations and offered Jason a deal if he agreed to be an informant against Pikeman, the illegal arms dealer.

Anna hears from Jason that he thinks Pikeman is selling illegal arms to anyone flagged by the NSA but has ties to the WSB which they needed a civilian to infiltrate their organization as a military soldier, a mercenary.

Jason tells Anna he was a part of the team brought into eliminate Sonny (Maurice Benard). Every time an attempt was made on Sonny’s life over the last two years, a different team was sent to do the job. Anna gets furious when she learns that John told Jason his job was to kill Sonny and she was with John at the warehouse that night. Jason ensured the sniper missed Sonny and left the rifle behind. However, they were supposed to meet an extraction team. Before he was shot, Dante saw it was Jason on the roof and when he turned around with his hands over his head, Dante was shot by the other guy. Jason says if Dante dies, he’ll be charged with capital murder and then will be useless to the FBI.

Meanwhile, John visits Bobbie’s and runs into Carly (Laura Wright). She learns Jason is in custody and is going to head to the PCPD. Before she does, Carly has some words with Cates when she learns not only does John have a vendetta against Sonny, but Jason too.  Carly tells John he should recuse himself from the case.

So, what did you think about the moment when Jason learned Britt died? What do you think of Jason’s return storyline thus far and what we learned about Jagger/Jason and more? Comment below. But first, check out a moment from today’s GH with Jason and Anna.
