In a video shared to Instagram, Storms shared what’s next for her and her daughter, when fans can expect to see her back on the show — and how her character Maxie will continue in her absence.

Kirsten Storms is stepping away from General Hospital — for now.

The 41-year-old actress, who has portrayed Maxie Jones on the iconic ABC soap since 2005, first announced the news in a video shared to Instagram Monday that she is taking an extended break and moving from Los Angeles to Nashville, Tennessee, with her 11-year-old daughter, Harper, whom she shares with ex-husband and fellow soap star, Brandon Barash.

“I’m so excited to make Tennessee my home!” Storms wrote in the caption . “I can’t wait to move back to Tennessee once Harper and I are settled in our new city. I plan to document as much of this new journey as possible on my social media. It’s always been a dream of mine to move to a place like this, it’s hard to believe it’s actually happening.”

In her candid video, Storms revealed that she has already wrapped filming on the soap and had previously criticized producers on her cross-country move.

“My hiatus from work has been something that’s been in the works since March,” she explained. “I had a conversation with [executive producer] Frank Valentini about my reasons for wanting to move and my desire to not leave the show.”

“When you approach a job like that, they can always be like, ‘Forget it, I’ll let you out of your contract if you leave the state,’” he added. “ I didn’t do that, which was awesome because I also asked for some time off.”

Storms confirmed: “I’ve already had my last day of filming for the year” and teased that “it’s possible I’ll be back in December, maybe November.”

As for what’s in store for Maxie while she’s gone, Storms promised fans they’re in for a wild ride.

“I promise you the story they have going on until my return to Port Charles is going to be amazing. You guys are going to freak out, actually,” she shared.

General Hospital temporarily recast the role with actress Nicole Paggi, who appeared in the July 3 episode and will continue in the role throughout July and August, according to Soap Opera Digest . Paggi also stepped in in December 2023 when Storms was unavailable due to scheduling conflicts.

Speaking at the outlet, Storms admitted he had mixed feelings about the recast at first.

“I’d be lying if I didn’t say I was a little surprised by it,” she told Soap Opera Digest . “I would prefer someone else play Maxie and be playing Maxie well to keep the character relevant and still in the soap world, because it doesn’t take much for a character to die and for someone else to come in and be in a forefront storyline.”

While fans are expected to see Storms back on screen on August 18, her official return on set will likely be later this year.
