The End of an Era: Recasting Port Charles’ Ultimate Fashionista
For over two decades, Kirsten Storms breathed vibrant life, razor-sharp wit, and heart-wrenching vulnerability into Maxie Jones.
However, with the character marooned Down Under for months and personal leaves stalling core storylines, production insiders allege the network is preparing for a permanent recast.
Enter Molly Burnett (Days of Our Lives, Queen of the South).
-
The Perfect Fit: Renowned for her fiery screen presence, vulnerability, and quick comedic timing, Burnett is widely tipped to take the reins of the legacy character.
