Kirsten Storms has been gone from General Hospital for what seems like forever. She took a leave of absence with very little details about how long she would be gone and why she needed the time. Storms isn't a stranger to leaving for weeks on end and has done it twice in the last few years. Maxie Jones was in the middle of a huge storyline with her new husband, Nathan West (Ryan Paevey). The two were finally married and then seemingly disappeared from the small screen. Storms has been abnormally quiet while away from the show, which has caused some worry among fans.

Social media was a huge deal for Kirsten Storms. She would tweet and post to Instagram several times a week, answering fans and sharing her life journey. Storms announced last year that she was divorcing her husband, Brandon Barash but the two seemed to be remaining amicable for the sake of their young daughter Harper. According to Soap Hub, Kirsten Storms is returning to General Hospital "soon-ish." This was revealed when she answered a fan's tweet about when she would be back as Maxie Jones. While this isn't detailed information, it is more than has been available since Storms left on leave. Speculation is that she will return this summer once everything she was working on has been handled.

"Naxie" (Nathan and Maxie) fans are beginning to lose their patience and have been incredibly vocal about where the writers have the couple headed. Rumors have been speculating that Nathan may hook up with Amy (Risa Dorken) because of their work on the Nurses Ball together. This is not what fans have in mind and if this is where things are really headed, Storms returning is long over due. Because General Hospital is filmed weeks in advance, there is definitely no way Maxie will be back in Port Charles before
