Just like your parents, General Hospital fans pick favorites. They know who they love to watch frolic around Port Charles, and can even become territorial over who plays the role. I’ll be honest, I do feel like certain actors are absolutely irreplaceable in their roles. But more often than not, the recast ends up growing on me. But there is no doubt that some actors have made their role so iconic that it’s unimaginable to think of a recast.
For me, one in particular is Kirsten Storms as Maxie Jones. Aside from a temporary recast from time to time, Kirsten Storms IS Maxie Jones. Although Storms did not originate the role, she has 20 years under her belt as the vibrant, beautiful, and fin, business-savvy, fashion icon.
Aside from the occasional temp, Maxie is one character who I can’t see anyone play except for Kirsten. So the recent news surrounding Storms’s GH status Earlier this month word that Kirsten was leaving GH hit social media. General Hospital rumors began to fly about the who, the what, the when, and the why. So, Kirsten addressed her GH exit in a video message to fans.
