I am here with some General Hospital news. I want to
apologize. I meant to post more here but I had a thi happen (broken foot and
broken ankle) which has wrecked my lite temperarily. I am going to try and do a
little better from now on.
Ok, GH news. Jen Liley (current Maxie Jones on General
Hospital) released a youtube video on July 21 2012. The video which I posted
earlier today was actually a little heart breaking.
Kirsten Storms took the role of Maxie in May 2005 (she received
an emmy nomination for this role in 2009). In 2011 Storms vacated the role to
an unexplained illness. This illness caused her to walk off set many times or
even miss work altogether. The illness
was later identified as endometriosis. Storms stared on the reality show Dirty
Soap and was shown dealing with this illness. It was formally announced she would
return to the role in February 2012. Later it was confirmed she would not be
returning
.
As I said above, on July 21 Liley posted a video on youtube
where she thanked her fans for their support. She also thanked her fans for trying to trend #welovejenliley. She was visibly upset and crying.
It was really sad.
That is the facts and here is my opinion.
I have always liked the character of Maxie. She is
troublesome I know. But she is also loyal and spunky and I like it. Kirsten
realy defined the role. She made Maxie into someone fans can remember. When
Storms fell ill and Liley took over I didn’t like it. But Liley grew on me. I
have actually really liked what she has done with Maxie. So, I can honestly say
I am torn. I am excited that Storms is coming back ( and that she is in better
health, of course). But, at the same
time I am sad to see Jen Liley leaving.
I will end with this…I wish Kirsten Storms all the best on
her return to Gh. I also wish Jen Liley all the best in her future in
endeavers.
