Storms Teases Her General Hospital Return
In an Instagram share, Storms shared a blurry photo of her looking fabulous in front of a mirror with positive sayings, “Throw Kindness Like Confetti” and “Be brilliant,” posted on it.
“Boom. 2026 already…that was fast. Back at work! Seriously missing my BugBug though. California doesn’t feel right without her here. ??? @generalhospitalabc #gh,” the actress wrote in the caption.
View this post on InstagramBugBug is her daughter, Harper, with her former General Hospital co-star and ex-husband, Brandon Barash. Along with her break from the show, Storms made a major life change and moved to Nashville last year, from where she will commute to film the ABC soap.
Storms being back on set means that Maxie’s about to wake up and learn her husband Nathan (Ryan Paevey) has returned from the dead. As Parade reported, Peavey recently teased, “Things have been set into motion that could clash with her return.”
Peavey, of course, was referring to the sparks flying between Nathan and Maxie’s best friend, Lulu (Alexa Havins). When Maxie wakes up, she’ll have plenty to process—not just Nathan’s return and his growing feelings for Lulu, but also Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) being back in the mix.
And since Storms is back to filming, fans will get to see Maxie again very soon. Soap Opera Digest has reported that Storms' character will be back on-screen starting Thursday, Feb. 12, just in time for sweeps month.
