The latest General Hospital Comings and Goings: Maxie returns to GH! General Hospital news reports confirm Kirsten Storms returns to General Hospital the week of February 9, 2026. Kirsten‘s return debut airs on Thursday, 2-12-26.
Although Storms returns to the canvas as Maxie Jones this week, that doesn’t mean Maxie is out of the woods just yet. Reportedly, General Hospitalspoilers revealthat Felicia (Kristina Wagner) and Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) make a decision about Maxie’s care. They now have the option to bring Maxie home to GH. Having Maxie remain at the long term care facility is the alternative. Evidently, Felicia and Spinelli decide to bring Maxie home to GH. She’s obviously on the mend, but she’s not out of the woods yet.
General Hospital rumors hint that things won’t be easy for Maxie once she wakes up from her coma. Lulu (Alexa Havins) and Nathan (Cesar Faison) are about to do Maxie dirty as her bestie and husband by default hook up. She struggles with her heart- torn between Spinelli and Nathan. And what’s worse is that Nathan wants Lulu now anyway, and Nathan may not even be Nathan! What if Nathan is really Peter (Wes Ramsey)?!
General Hospital: Faison linked to Sam’s potential return?
General Hospital spoilers for the week of February 2, 2026 reveal that details of Faison’s final project become clearer. As investigations continue, new developments emerge. And the more we know, the more Cesar Faison’s project seems to involve the same key players as the last time he messed with the people of Port Charles. Ultimately, that all ended when Jason shot and killed him in 2018. That’s why (among other potential clues that can be found in this article) GH rumors suggest that Faison’s project brings back Sam.
It’s obvious that Faison’s final project, Cold Fusion, involves multiple people who have ties to the infamous villain. First, his kids, Britt, Nathan, and Peter. Of course Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) and Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Turner) too. In the past, Faison was responsible for the memory mapping and swapping of Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton). And within that mess, Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco) is the one who discovered that Peter was actually Henrik- blowing his cover.
Additional GH comings and goings reports and recent spoilers confirm that Kirsten Storms returns as Maxie Jones. Let’s not forget her ties to both Nathan and Peter. She’s also linked to Sidwell, since we know that he’s the one who poisoned Deception’s product, causing her to fall into a coma right on the set of Home and Heart!
Will Faison’s Project Bring Back Sam?
The latest General Hospital spoilers and rumors indicate that Drew awakens after his wifey-induced stroke. Will he be the Drew he once was? GH rumors tease that Faison could have been responsible for Drew’s personality shift over the last couple of years. Coincidentally, Drew became what seemed like a different person (not for the better) soon after Jason returned. Potentially, Faison could be responsible for literally everything that’s happening now in Port Charles.
Apparently, General Hospital rumors speculate that this is eerily familiar to “the tale of two Jason’s” storyline that began around 2014. From there the storyline lingered on and off, and then picked back up in 2017. Then, Jason’s 2017 returned began the conclusion that wrapped up in 2018.
It makes sense that many of the same key players in that story are also prevalent in today’s current storyline. Faison continues to terrorize the same people he’s always terrorized. That said, GH rumors surrounding Kelly Monaco’s potential return hint that Faison may be linked to Drew’s strange behavior over the last couple of years, and Sam’s return.
The frequent name dropping and the current focus on Alexis, Drew, and Scout all hint toward Sam’s potential return. Then tie it to Faison, and boom, we might just have a logical way to present Sam’s return. Do you think that Kelly Monaco is headed back to General Hospital?
General Hospital: Kirsten Storms Returns to General Hospital as Maxie Jones
General Hospital fan favorite, Kristen Storms announced her GH departure in late Summer of 2025. She was last seen onscreen as Maxie Jones in August. Reportedly, Storms took a break from her GH role while she moved to Tennessee, and got settled in with her daughter, Harper Rose Barash. Six months later, Kirsten Storms returns to General Hospital as Maxie Jones.
Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) is very much loved around Port Charles. Her family and friends are doing what they can to ensure that Maxie’s children are well cared for and loved as they wait out their mom’s medical crisis. After what seemed like a fluke incident, Maxie fell ill while on set of Home an Heart. Since then, she’s been in a coma just like her bestie Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins)! We all know that Maxie’s condition is no fluke… but the inner workings of Sidwell’s calculated stratagem.
Maxie’s husband Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) is back from dead- and so is her ex-fiancé, and Nathan’s brother, Peter August (Wes Ramsey). Their sister Britt Westbourne mysteriously returned from the dead as well. Coincidence? I think not.
Since Sidwell is connected to Faison’s final project, and he targeted Maxie, and Maxie has a child with both Nathan and Peter… then it’s safe to say that Sidwell finds Maxie’s connection to Faison’s son’s a big problem.
According to a recent Instagram post, Kirsten is back on set, filming scenes. She took a snapshot selfie in her dressing room mirror with a caption that revealed her GH status. Kirsten Storms returns to General Hospital after a six month break, and there’s so much in store for Maxie!
