Actress Returns to Soap Opera After Brain Aneurysm Health Scare
13 Feb
Summary
- Actress returned to her soap opera role after a six-month hiatus.
- She had postponed surgery for a brain aneurysm, deemed 'gray zone' condition.
- Her character woke from a coma during her on-screen comeback episode.

The actress has made a significant return to her role on the daytime soap opera General Hospital, following a six-month absence. She reappeared on screen in Thursday's episode, with her character Maxie waking from a coma. This return comes after Storms revealed in July she was stepping back from the show.
Storms had previously announced a health concern, specifically the discovery of an aneurysm during a scan in January. This discovery occurred during a follow-up for a brain cyst removed in 2021. She described the news as shocking but later shared that surgery was postponed.
In December, she disclosed that a neurosurgeon had categorized her aneurysm as being in the 'gray zone,' meaning it did not require immediate surgery. She expressed plans to monitor the condition, noting she was not in immediate danger of rupture. This news preceded her tease of a return to Port Charles.
