General Hospital fans received an early holiday gift when longtime star Kirsten Storms (Maxie Jones) took to Instagram with heartfelt seasonal greetings — and a hopeful tease about returning to Port Charles.
Kirsten Storms Shares Major Health Update And A Return Tease
In her candid holiday message, Storms shared that she’s been enjoying winter break with her loved ones, even joking about freaking out over tiny snow flurries that melted instantly. Born in Florida and a longtime resident of California, she admitted she’s not exactly built for cold weather — but the moment still made her smile.
Storms also opened up about her ongoing medical journey. After meeting with a new neurosurgeon in St. Louis, she learned she is in the “gray zone” regarding treatment for her brain aneurysm. The aneurysm isn’t small, but not yet at the mandatory surgery stage either. Her doctor reassured her she is not in immediate danger, calling it good news.
Still, the actress is weighing her options — whether to monitor the aneurysm or undergo the coiling procedure. Understandably, she’s hesitant to rush into another operation, referencing her 2021 craniotomy and another surgery earlier this year.
Storms expressed deep gratitude for the support, stories, and messages from fans, admitting she didn’t realize how much she needed them. While she doesn’t enjoy addressing online rumors, she wanted to speak directly and honestly about her health and her future.
And then came the tease fans are buzzing about:
“Maybe you will be seeing me back in Port Charles soon.”
The beloved actress’s message has sparked hope across the GH fandom that Maxie Jones may return sooner rather than later.
Until then, Storms wishes everyone a warm and happy holiday season — and fans are wishing her health, peace, and a joyful comeback.
