  1. Oh no! It says she'll be on for months. I hope KS is ok! That's a long time. Do we know, was KS filming for the JaSam wedding? I'd miss her if she weren't playing Maxie in those scenes. But other than that, can't say she's driving/involved in a lot of stories. Wish they could have sent her to Paris for Crimson for the time KS is out instead of a temp recast. Oh well! Hope she gets better quickly.

  2. NO ONE ELSE CAN PLAY MAXIE, KS is an original!! I LOVE her as an actress, and wish her a speedy recovery.

    ReplyDelete
  3. NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    What is wrong that she needs soo much time off??? Probably needs to eat & rest.

    Speedy recovery.....I ADORE you!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  4. Gee, I hope it's nothing serious, but 2 months is a long time. She is just adorable and perfect as Maxie and I will miss her.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Let us know if you find out anything about her illness.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Probably rehab...That would be one to two months...most illnesses don't have time stamps.

  7. I loved her when she played on Days her and the girl that played Gigi on OLTL were best buddies on Days togethor.

    ReplyDelete
  8. I liked her on Days. Personally, I liked Robyn Richards as Maxie, but alas, they took her in a new direction. I wish KS no ill will and I've grown to like the NuMaxie, don't get me wrong. Just think they grew her up overnight.

    I hope she's not seriously ill.

    My 2cents2...I agree...she could use 10 lbs.

  9. To say 'rehab' isn't nice.
    Until we have confirm reports, let's assume between her day jobs she is worn out.

    Isn't her show on E about to premiere??

    ReplyDelete
  10. When they don't say what’s wrong, it’s big. Kristen is prob. in rehab. Remember when Liz was out for 2 months, they told us what was wrong with her.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Shame on all of you assuming Rehab. Could be anything. Could be to help a family member, could be surgury she just found out she'll need. So many people hate on others about being thin, but heaven forbid you mention someone put on a few lbs and most bloggers jump our behinds. Some don't realize those gals may have chronic illnesses or just plain great metabolisms.

    ReplyDelete
  12. THANK YOU Andrea!!!

    I couldn't agree more with you.
    Why do people like to start milicious gossip??

    ReplyDelete
  13. I think that if KS wanted people to know, she'd get the word out there. The show didn't tell us about Becky's illness details, her hubby tweeted them. After he came out,the show did issue something.
    She will be on "Dirty Soap" soon, and I would think doing PR for that show.
    I'm just sad she's gone so long. I sort of wish they would have put "Maxie" on assignment in Paris or something

    ReplyDelete
  14. Your right Karen, I would have rather seen her on assignment in Paris than to do a replacement.
    Though Becky's replacement 'resembled' her, I didn't like the character switch.

  15. I don't see saying she needs rehab as malicious. It takes guts to get help when you have a problem. Rehab could also be for a food disorder such as bulimia or anorexia...it doesn't have to be drugs. The time away fits rehab...and if a spokesman doesn't come out and say what...you can bet it is some form of rehab for some addiction. If it was a some health illness, they would just say what it was.

    ReplyDelete
  16. For the record, I am not hating on her because she's thin. I said she could use 10 lbs. The camera supposedly *puts* 10 lbs on, so if that's the appearance of 10 on that she doesn't have, then yes she's thin.

    Hey, it's a lot easeir (in most cases) to put ON 10lbs than take OFF 10 lbs.

    And again, I do hope she is not seriously ill.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Is taping for Dirty Soap finished? Could this somehow tie into that show? I am so sad to imagine her gone for any period of time, she really can't be replaced. I, too, wish they would just send her off on business. I will be wishing her a rapid recovery, no matter what the problem is. She's easily one of my favorites.

    ReplyDelete
  18. She is very thin.
    You would have to be blind to not see that.

    I would LOVE to be that petite!!

    I am sure it is nothing more than with her new show premering, she has taken time off, or she is just plain exhausted.

    Hopefully its nothing serious that would require a surgery!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  19. I wish Kirsten a speedy recovery. She has made the character of Maxie so unique that it is difficult to imagine someone else playing her.

    There are lots of "bitchy/bad girl" roles on soaps. But what differentiates many of them is how the actress portrays them onscreen. I like the fact that KS plays Maxie with some vulnerabilities as well as with comedic quirkiness when called for. Even though I loathe the character of Lulu, I enjoy their friendship when written well. (I guess they are actually "frenemies"?).

    Whatever the illness or issues are, I will wish her well.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Is there really another Maxie out there?? NO!!! Nobody could do what KS does as a character!!

    ReplyDelete
  21. RR was a good young Maxie, but Kirsten to me is irreplacable. Hate to see her gone now that Spinelli is back. I wish her well.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Hey.......there's an idea....
    write Spinelli off too!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  23. No,No No, hope she's well soon. I just love here a Maxie

    ReplyDelete
  24. Maxie, as silly of a storyline she has had these past 2 years, is one of the best actress's on this show.

    If she is truly sick, I hope for a speedy recovery.

    If she is out to promote her new show, then selfishly I want her back!

    ReplyDelete
  25. There's no shame in going to rehab, if that's where Kirsten is. I agree the timeline makes sense and given her history of DUI and mandated AA meetings, it makes sense. Of course we can't confirm it but it's not "mean" to speculate that that's where she is!

    ReplyDelete
  26. There is no shame in rehab, however, if that isn't the reason the actress is out, then people shouldn't make statements or suggestions of such.

    ReplyDelete
  27. If you have listened to her voice over the last 2 weeks of episodes, you might assume that she is having throat problems. She hasn't sounded like herself.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Ugh.. I dont like the temp for maxie or the new kate.. They need to bring the original kate back.. As for KS, get well soon purdy gal.. We missing u already

    ReplyDelete
  29. Whatever the reason that Kirsten is out, I hope she has a speedy recovery. Whether alcoholism, drug addiction or eating disorder they are ALL diseases and need to be treated just like any other illness. I wish her all the best and hope she comes back REAL soon. I have watched the NuMaxie and I don't like her at all...no offense to her, but Kirsten just can't be replaced. She owns the role of Maxie...case closed

    ReplyDelete
  30. Or perhaps KS is out for a completely different reason, unknown to any of us. (Which is what I believe)

    Hopefully she is starring in a movie, spending time with her new show getting it promoted, or other positive things for this talented actress.

    GH with all these contracts coming due, really have no choice but to honor the actors requests now.

    ReplyDelete
  31. 'maybe a boob job'

    LMAO!!!! Very well could be!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  32. She is sick. She is not in Rehab! She does not have an eating disorder.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Boob job would have been scheduled, not out of the blue

    ReplyDelete
  34. SHE HAS A BROTHER THAT WAS DEPLOYED...I HOPE AND PRAY HE IS SAFE AND NOT THE REASON FOR HER being gone

    ReplyDelete
  35. This leave of absence was scheduled. That is why she can't be sick.

    Her brother was going to flight school. I didn't think he was going to Iran.

    ReplyDelete
  36. She may be thin because she is sick!!! She may be depressed about her brother. I mean please!!!!!! Rehab and all the other stuff is just spreading rumors and childish. She may want her health issues kept private..Oh and a leave may have been scheduled for surgery or whatever. Doesn't have the be rehab!!!! Get well Kirsten - We will miss you!

    ReplyDelete
  37. OMG! what is the big freakin' deal! Some of you guys act like no one in television or Hollywood has ever gone to rehab. It's human nature to speculate when not given information. there's no need to get all defensive over whether she's in rehab or not. no. We don't want to believe it's true but it's realistic in this day and age and especially in their line of work. So..take a deep breath and relax.

    ReplyDelete
  38. NO Anon, YOU take a deep breath and relax.
    You and your 'brilliant' thoughts!

    ReplyDelete
  39. I know she said in the past she had a problem with alcohol and had a little legal problem over it but straightened herself out because that's when Lindsey lohan and Britney spears got into a lot of problems and she didn't want to go that route but she could have slipped and wanted to get help. Whatever the case hope she gets well soon and that it's nothing major!!!! We miss you! _

    ReplyDelete
  40. I refuse to watch General hospital scenes w/o Kirsten
    The new gal seems nice but she ain't Maxie. Kirsten is period. If she is officially replaced. Bye-Bye, GH!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Anon...No she ISN'T Maxie, however, there are alot worse on the show.
    I watch her. She does a great job.
    One of the best replacements in a long time.

    ReplyDelete
  42. She did get a dui a year ago roughly, rehab(most likely as a court requirement) would make sense. Doubt its any eating problem, she still had her cheeks. I didn't used to like maxie, but since her sis died they've made her nicer, and the temp does look like new kate from the right angle. Never liked kate but the old one was better.

    ReplyDelete
  43. She got a dwi in 2007.
    Quite a while ago.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Sorry to be judgmental but anyone who is envious of Kirsten's body type is ill. Kirsten definitely needs to put on weight, being thin is one thing...but when your chest bones and shoulder bones are convex you are no longer thin, your sick looking. Why not be more like a Nadia or Jenna? At least that way people can see you. I was a judge fan on Kirsten as a child star, I cringe to see her smaller at 27 then she was at pre-pubescent 13!

    ReplyDelete
  45. I love Maxie {kristen Storms}!! Throughts and prayers are with you.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Kirsten Storms does a much better job of portraying Maxie. Maybe they should reconsider sending her character out of the country until her actual return.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I love love love Kirsten *~* I hope she gets well soon. I hate recast the new girl is already on my nerves! I fast forward through her whole story. It's so irritating hurry back Kirsten

    ReplyDelete
  48. So it's been confirmed by her sister in law that she has endometriosis. Lots of prayers for her!

    ReplyDelete
  49. I saw on Dirty Soap tonight that Farrah Fath was talking on phone to someone that knew Kristen she was really worried about her even though they are not talking to each other. But I don't remember who it was but they told her that Kristen had Endometriosis.
    Watch Dirty Soap tonight if you want to know more about it.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Ive never watched a soap opera in my life so I have no idea what you all are talking about!!
    dont you glas work?

    ReplyDelete
  51. Gals I mean.... lol....How do you have the time to watch soap operas?

    ReplyDelete
  52. OMG!! If she does have endometriosis...What a big F'ing brat!! BABY!!
    My dad has a brain tumor, thats something to cry about....what a spoiled rotten bitch!!

    ReplyDelete
  53. Anon....how did you end up on this board if you DON'T watch soaps?
    ************

    Anon.....sorry about your dad.
    How horrible.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Just had a hysterectomy due to Endometrosis and until you have walked in someone's shoes don't judge them! It is extremely painful!

    ReplyDelete
  55. I guess endometriosis is different for everyone. I've had it for years & even had surgery to remove what they could. I've never missed a day of work because of it. I'm not sure this is the total story. I do like KS as Maxie & wish her the best & can't wait for her return (soon, hopefully!)

    ReplyDelete
  56. It said to see kirsten is off, but its good that she is getting help for whatever it is she is going thru. I love her and her character, and i just started watching her new show on E....and shes amazing!:-) Shes so pretty and seems like alot of fun, im not too fond of her "friend" Farrah, in my opinion she needs to leave Kirsten alone! I know they were friends back when but people change and thats ok!Dont put more pressure on Kirsten she has her own issues!:-) get better soon i miss you sooooo much on GH as i'm sure everyone does<3

    ReplyDelete
  57. mamaron...Farah is jealous of Kirsten. That is why the hate is so great toward her.

    ReplyDelete
  58. I certainly hope if she has a drinking problem that she gets help. She is a beautiful, talented girl and I love her as Maxie on G.H. Noone can ever replace her on G.H. and I look forward to her return.

    ReplyDelete
  59. She does not have a drinking problem.

    She has endometriosis.

    ReplyDelete
  60. It is endometriosis, which is a 'female issue.' For goodness sake, stop with the ridiculous judgements.

    Depending on the severity, she could lose the ability to bear children in the future.

    Hopefully, this will not be the case. Please give her a break.

    ReplyDelete
  61. KS is adorable as Maxie--we can only wish her the best no matter what is going on in HER life (emphasis HER.) JL isn't bad, as replacements go. At first I didn't like her, but I think the she has gotten more comfortable with the rhythm of Maxie's patter and she's doing a much better job capturing Maxie's essence. We'll just have to enjoy her as much as we can and then cheer when KS returns!

    ReplyDelete
  62. Whatever her real illness is I wish her a speedy recovery. I also want her to know her true fans are behind her 100%. Kirsten don't listen to the BS being said. People always make things sound worse than they really are until the truth is announced.I know when you are ready you will announce to your fans the truth behind all this. In the mean time remember we love you and no one can take your place. May god be with you and comfort you through this.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Shame on all of u who think u r So superior with no flaws for picking apart Kirsten and why she is ill
    This condition in some cases can be severe especially if medical attention was pushed off because the signs weren't apparent. I am the same age as Kirsten and I can put myself in her shoes if there was a queson weather or Not I could have children. That alone could cause a serious depression Which is a whole nother ball park
    God forbid any one make a mistake 1 time in the public's eye.

    ReplyDelete
  64. What are you talking about Anon??
    Other than Anon, who stated that KS was in drug rehab, nobody was disrespecting KS. I see only positive comments for her.

    ReplyDelete
  65. The person who called her a spoiled brat for being upset about endometriosis is ridiculous! I'm truly sorry for your dad but that is NO excuse to reply like you did. No matter how bad anyone has it, someone has it worse, but that doesn't make the battles they are fighting any less important. She's young and this disease could mean she can't have children. That's a lot to take in at any age, especially that young. Though there are treatments, there are no cures and she will probably have to have surgery (hence the long MIA from GH). Get well soon KS

    ReplyDelete
  66. She is a young girl who probably wants kids in the future. She was prob told she would be better off having a partial/total hysterectomy. That decision alone could cause her to need time off to think. They DO get vacation time...ask Tony Geary! For all we know, she may have already had surgery and needs time to recover. I would not wish this on anyone, esp if they've never had kids. My niece has this & she's a dr and it knocksher out of work as well. Don't judge others bc one day you may end up on the receiving end.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Is it possible that an eating disorder, which sometimes leads to fertility problems, can also lead to endometriosis?

    ReplyDelete
  68. That definately does not lead to endo, no one actually knows what causes it. I have it myself. Its very painful. Each person has a different situation. Mine could not be removed i have to deal with it the rest of my life.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Having had many, many surgeries, which ultimately ended with a hysterectomy at the age of 30, Endometriosis is a very serious illness that causes much pain and other bodily issues. It is not related to eating disorders, or drinking or anything else. It is s serious condition MANY women suffer from.

    That said, let's chill with the hating, enjoy "Dirty Soap" (thank you Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos)and pray for a speedy recovery for Kirsten Storms. Until you have walked in her shoes it is not your place to judge.

    ReplyDelete
  70. I want to know if Dirty got picked up for another season. This season should be ending soon.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Geez will this girl never leave GH. She is aweful. Secondly Kate's new replacement sucks too.

    ReplyDelete
  72. My husband and I tried for 6 years to have a baby, I couldn't because I had severe endometriosis. I bled constantly and became severely anemic. I was in horrible pain and had to have a total hysterectomy before I was 30.
    Each person's case is different and there are laparoscopies that can relieve the pain for some time but it's not a curable condition.
    I hope they can take care of it simply and she gets better soon!!

    ReplyDelete
  73. I hope Kirsten is back soon. The show seems off with out her in there. I also miss her in Dirty Soap where I first saw that she was ill. I hope she takes care of herself. I hope she is back soon. She is missed a great deal. Get better.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Seems like she had a cold for a long, long time~ maybe cocaine was the problem!

    ReplyDelete
  75. Anon..keep your negative, untruthful opinion to yourself please.

    ReplyDelete
  76. She has several DUI under her belt. And she has been dating a rock singer. Best best is is she is in rehab for drug addiction.

    ReplyDelete
  77. She has 'ONE DUI' under her belt.
    NOT several.

    Also, I am curious why there is no word from her agent. Can you tell me where you read this information? I would also like to read it.

Merry Merry, Happy Happy!

  Just a note to say how much I appreciate those of you that read the blog and the few of you that comment!! It's always strange to sit ...
