Kirsten Storms has been released from the role of Maxie Jones. As Maxie was killed onscreen, she will not be recast. Executive Producer Tishy has this to say, "The character of Maxie was brought into such a direction that she could not be saved. Having her be the hit and run driver made sense. Kirsten took the news well. It also will push story for the Scorpios, the SPencers and even the Quartermaines. We wish Kirsten well"

As for now, they are no other casting departures scheduled for the Citizens of Port Charles. Another episode will be posted later today.
