Tweet from Jen Lilly:

I had to get twitlonger to answer properly First, I, Jen Lilley, LOVE Kirsten Storms. I think she's talented, funny, beautiful, and kind. While I have loved my time on GH, I think it's under the saddest of conditions that I'm there.

Because of unforeseen circumstances, I am staying as Maxie. Please know that as a KS fan, I am really sorry. Kirsten is irreplaceable. To keep GH alive, someone had to step into the role. I cannot change what's happened. Yes, I love being on the show, but if KS could have stayed all along, I would have wished a thousand wishes that I could have come on as a different character, for her sake and your sake as a GH fan. Change is never easy.

I hope you will find it in your hearts to stop being so hateful toward me personally, because honestly, after 6 months of it, I feel broken, and it's not helping the show. We have to stand united for the sake of General Hospital's livelihood and for soap fans everywhere. I think all of Kirsten's wonderful fans know that she'd want her fans to support GH and fight like hell for it's renewal. With utmost sincerity: Jen Lilley

Mean? Didn't Kirsten Storms' Maxie taunt Lulu about having a freakin' abortion back during the Cooper/Logan era? Speaking of that era, didn't that same Maxie promise to cheat on Cooper with Logan if Logan got Lulu into bed (read the aforementioned unrepentant skank)? I swear, fanwankers and their selective blindness.

I completely forgot about Maxie being so promiscuous under Storms tenure. I only remember two or three occasionas where she was slutty. Once during the Franco period, when she got Lucky hooked on pills and then again when she was "connecting" with Johnny while still technically being in a relationship with Spinelli.

Let's not forget Matt & Maxie are together because she "thanked" Matt with her vagina in the hospital supply closet for saving Mac's life after getting shot by Warren Bauer.

I did not realize that KS was gone permanently. I hope she gets well. I have suspected that she has had a problem for years now.

I've seen comments that she is too "mean" as Maxie, but I would say that is the writing. The only time the show cares about a kinder Maxie is when it's Spinelli prop duty.

Yea. It is the writing. It's not JL and that's what I said earlier. I like Jen.

What is everybody tap dancing around in this thread? What did I miss? WHAT HAPPENED?

There have been RUMORS for a while that she's actuallY had an eating disorder for sometime but again it was a rumor long before her exit from GH. But thats not to say that there is any truth to it. Just rumor and speculation.

Is she really gone? Has GH released her from her contract? Or is this still an "indefinite" hiatus due to medical problems?

That's what I'm wondering.

KS has Endometriosis

I hope KS gets better but I don't care one way or the other. JL is fine in the role but I haven't cared about Maxie for years.

That's what they said on Dirty Soap but... I also heard recovery time from that is a few weeks -- not six plus months.

Depends on the stage of the diease etc. It never goes away unless u have a hysterectomy or menopause

And the sad thing is Jen isn't the only one to have this happen. Look, I know some people don't like characters. But NEVER, under any circumstances, should you attack an actor or actress. It's why I like coming here because, although we have our discussions about characters, this board has never gone after an actor like other boards have.

I also don't pretend to know what endometriosis is like to go through being of the opposite sex, but I have to imagine Kirsten is really going through a hard time. My best wishes to her in recovery.

I'm pretty new to this board, so the jury is still out on how folks treat the actors vs. the characters. However, I'm in agreement with you that disliking a character is a stupid reason to attack an actor/actress. I, for one, hope that Jen Lilley doesn't let those nutjobs discourage her from continuing in her career as an actress.

I haven't been watching GH for a while now, but the last time I watched and saw Jen Lilley as Maxie, I thought she was great. I think Kristen Storms sucks. She always has and she always came off as a dumb, pathetic tramp. Her Maxie was horrible IMO and KS is a terrible actress as well IMO. People need to get lives and not attack the actress who has replaced KS. To me Robyn Richards is the real Maxie and Jen Lilley would have been a great "grown up" Maxie. Not tragic Kristen Storms.
