I’m going to first start off by saying that Maxie is one of my favorite characters of all time. Since 2005 Kirsten’s portrayal of Maxie Jones has captured my attention and adoration for the character and the actress. And because Kirsten Storms and I are only two years apart in age it feels like I’ve grown up right along with her character.
General Hospital news and spoilers reveal that Kirsten explains how a personal life crisis has impacted her role as Maxie. She sat down with co-stars Bradford Anderson and Steve Burton on their podcast called The Daily Drama. The 40 year old GH star reflected on her 2021 brain surgery and how the recovery process trickled into her work. “I didn’t bounce back from that mentally and emotionally as quick as I would want to,” she noted. “And I feel like how I felt personally was reflected in Maxie in the show.” She admitted.
This was a difficult time for Kirsten and the criticism from so-called fans added to it. But now that she’s creeping up on the three year mark since her surgery, Storms has a new outlook.
“Now, I’m starting to feel a little bit more like myself as I’m learning to take better care of me. And at work, I’m dressing in more fashionable outfits. I’m more into making sure my makeup goes with it,” she added. “I have a really different, cool hairstyle. All the old school Maxie stuff.”
The brave and beautiful Kirsten Storms seems readier than ever to take on Maxie, and wow fans with that iconic Maximista fashion sense. She also joked about smiling over this rough patch and disclosed her wish, “Maybe we could just like not fully remember Maxie over the last couple of years,” Storms laughed, “and we could just jump from Spixie to now. But that is the growth.”
General Hospital spoilers tease that we are headed for Spixie 2.0 and Kristen is all for it! Bradford Anderson and Kirsten’s Spinelli and Maxie still have what it takes to wow fans with their incredible romance. Are you ready to watch Spinelli and Maxie fall in love all over again?
