The redesign of the characters with different actors is one of the most common soap opera, and seeing a different actor playing the role of Maxie is not a new thing. There have been a few opportunities in the past where storms had to temporarily cancel the role, DNA Maxie has been rebuilt, and the same goes.

“I would lie if I did not say that I was a little surprised by that. I would prefer that someone plays Maxie and that I play Maxie well to keep the character relevant and in the world of soap always because it does not take much for a character to die and that someone else is in a front scenario.

I was very excited to know that she was always going to be in Port Charles and do a lot. »»

What it means for the absence of storms

It will be a good way to refresh the character while keeping her warm for a return

While General hospital Maxie’s overhaul may have been a bit of a shock for storms, it is not the first time that another actress has replaced her for her as a Maxie.

The legendary star of the general hospital, Kin Shriner, responded to his emblematic character Scott Baldwin, written from the program after more than 40 years.

The advantage of redesigning Maxie is that he keeps his story on the move, and Allows storms to simply back down in the character When it is ready. This also benefits the narrative structure of the show and allows the character to continue his development in a natural and organic way, leaving the door open to storms to return.

Our point of view of Maxie’s overhaul

It is not forever, but perhaps storms could use the break

Kirsten storms like Maxie Jones, at the office

Of course, storm schedule conflicts have meant that the role had to be overhauled, but that could be a blessing for it. It may be grateful for the opportunity to diversify and try something different for a while. Knowing that the role will wait for him on his return allows him to experience in a creative way and to try something new.

Being able to move away from a character after 20 years gives a certain degree of freedom, and Paggi filling certainly acts as a space reserved for Maxie. Although it is not clear at the moment how long Paggi could be part of the General hospital casting, there is a confirmation that it is not a permanent switch, therefore General hospital Fans will review the storms on their screens.
