General Hospital (GH) spoilers reveal that fans are wondering what the future holds for Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) based on some behind-the-scenes developments.
Storms was taken off contract not too long ago and is now dealing with some alarming personal problems.
Storms’ ex-husband, Brandon Barash (ex-Johnny Zacchara on GH, ex-Stefan and Jake DiMera on Days of Our Lives), got an emergency restraining order granted against her after spelling out his concerns about her mental state and how it could affect their daughter.
On Storms’ Instagram account, she’s also made claims about getting hacked and dealing with break-ins before ultimately getting evicted from her apartment.
Storms’ posts have led to some worries from her followers, so we’re all hoping she’ll be OK and get any help she might need.
That said, the show’s in the middle of a major storyline that Maxie have to play a bigger role in eventually.
There’s just no way to do the climax of this fake Nathan West aka Cassius Faison (Ryan Paevey) story without Maxie being part of the action.
Cassius is pretending to be Maxie’s former husband and James West’s (Gary James Fuller) father.
Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening) has no idea that she’s dating Nathan’s twin brother, so all of this has to get exposed sooner or later.
When that happens, Maxie obviously needs to be on canvas for the blowup.
If Storms isn’t available for filming, then maybe the show will recast the role like they’ve done in the past.
Molly Burnett has successfully taken over the role of Maxie Jones for other temporary recast stints.
Could Burnett step into Maxie’s shoes once again if necessary?
Of course, Molly Burnett isn’t the only actress who’s served as a replacement for Kirsten Storms over the years.
Jen Lilley and Nicole Paggi have also filled in as Maxie before, but Burnett’s time as an alternative Maxie was perhaps the most memorable.
It’s even possible the show could go in a brand-new direction and recast Maxie with an actress who’s never played the role before.
Whether it’s temporary or permanent, a Maxie replacement may be needed on-screen somewhere down the line.
How would you feel about Molly Burnett potentially playing Maxie again?
Is there someone else you’d rather have as Maxie if Kirsten Storms can’t play her anymore?
General Hospital spoilers say Cassius’ story will continue to heat up in the meantime, so stick with us for more news on Maxie and the next chapter.
