Kirsten Storms addressed her break from 'General Hospital' amidst Maxie Jones recasting rumors and cleared up behind-the-scenes speculation

Kirsten Storms is opening up about what it was like to be temporarily replaced in her long-running “General Hospital” role. Storms, who has played Maxie on the historic soap opera since May 2005, was recently replaced temporarily by Nicole Paggi due to scheduling conflicts.

Storms, 41, has already filmed her final scenes — for now. Amid her absence, she is moving from Los Angeles to Nashville with her daughter, Harper, 11, whom she shares with her ex-husband and fellow soap actor, Brandon Borash.
