Did The Producers Just Make This Really Bad Move On The Show?
And by that, we mean the decision to have Spinelli and Maxie Jones move their family to Australia.
This is all because actress Kirsten Storms, who plays Maxie on the hit ABC soap, is not coming back to daytime television. Or at least, not right now, which is why her character is being written off the show.
But for a lot of fans, they think this is quite unfair to actor Bradford Anderson, who plays Spinelli, and the child actors who no longer will have any screentime because of Kirsten’s decision not to return to General Hospital.
As much as fans would love to see Kirsten back on the show, they also think that it would have been a better idea to just recast her character altogether. Of course, the internet certainly did have a lot to say about the matter.
Some even commented with, “I think it’s unfortunate that the other actors had to be effectively removed from the show & lose their jobs due to KS’s personal problems. Why couldn’t they just let them stay & have her character be recast or something?”

Another critic of the show wrote, “I’m pretty pissed off. All they had to do was recast Maxie. It’s happened thousands of times on soaps. Kirstin has no immediate plans to return. Instead we lose Spinelli, Georgie and the great young actor who plays James.”
And then there was this comment as well: “Truthfully I would have been OK with them recasting Maxie. Like I love KS in the roll, always have, but she’s got a lot going on in her personal life and I’d rather keep the character and her family.”
So far the producers of General Hospital have not made any further comments about the matter. Watch this space as we have a feeling there is so much more to come.
