General Hospital star Kirsten Storms (Maxie Jones) had locked comments on her Instagram six days ago, following a similar move back in October. Now that she’s reopened them, fans are reacting—and sharing their thoughts.
No Advice Wanted?
When news broke about her locked post last week, many wondered why she took that step. ABC fans speculated that she was likely tired of receiving unsolicited health advice. A few days later, Kirsten offered an update.
Four days ago, she shared how much she appreciated “the messages and stories offered of your own experiences. I needed those…”
She continued, noting that “it’s super easy to be silly and have fun on these platforms, but getting deep about online rumors and my feelings about them? Hah… I’d rather switch to decaf coffee.” She added, “(My psychologist would tell me that’s a clear example of ‘avoidance’.)”
Anyway, she concluded by teasing her General Hospital fans that she might be returning to the show: “maaaaybe.” Her comment section was soon filled with plenty of Christmas wishes.
A New Post Opens for Comments
On December 27, the real-life Maxie Jones made another appearance on Instagram. This time, Kirsten Storms shared a caption stating:
Some might argue that her post was just a promo, but her followers didn’t mind—simply hearing from the real-life Maxie Jones brought them joy.
Fans React
One General Hospital fan wrote, “Miss you, pray you are getting better, enjoy your crocheting.”
Other responses included:
- “Health and healing in 2026 for you, Kirsten!”
- “Miss your sweet face on GH—hope you’re doing well & hope you’ll make it back onto GH soon.”
- “I think I know where your happy place is. Happy Holidays! The best thing is that you’re happy, taking your time, and getting to where you want and need to be. I’ll support you forever.”
- “Hope you’re doing well. Wishing you a blessed and healthy New Year. Stay the course. Miss you on GH.”
As you can see, no one offered unsolicited health advice. If that was the reason she previously locked comments, fans clearly understood the message.
How Is Her Health These Days?
Kirsten is managing a brain aneurysm, but her updates suggest it’s unlikely to rupture immediately. For now, she’s waiting to see if it resolves without surgery. Being upbeat and interacting with fans all the time can’t be easy.
It’s easy to see why Kirsten Storms might occasionally step back and seek quiet moments. Share your thoughts in the comments, and check back often for the latest General Hospital cast news and updates.
