It’s been four months since both Maxie and her portrayer Kirsten Storms were last in Port Charles. Now, the actress is updating fans on her latest health battle while teasing her return to General Hospital.
Maxie’s Back!
Back in August, Maxie suffered a heart attack during a live segment with Deception on Home & Heart. Maxie later fell into a coma and was brought to a hospital in Boston, where she’s resided ever since. And the kicker? No one knows it was all at the hands of Sidwell (Carlo Rota).
Many of Maxie’s loved ones have been talking about her in recent weeks, starting with Spinelli (Bradford Anderson), who confided in Jason (Steve Burton) about losing hope his Maximista will ever wake up. Mac (John J. York) has also struggled with working at the PCPD and visiting Maxie in Boston, while Nathan (Ryan Paevey) returned to find out his wife was in a coma.
Now, in a lengthy, must-read Instagram post featuring Storms presumably wearing one of her handmade cardigans, the actress gave fans an important health update.
“My last appointment was with a new neurosurgeon in St. Louis. He told me that I am in the ‘gray zone’ for the aneurysm procedure,” she informed fans, explaining that another surgery isn’t urgent at the moment and she’s monitoring her health.
After the good news, Storms finished the post with a simple sentence that got GH fans buzzing. “And maaaaaybe you will be seeing me back in Port Charles soon.”
