Kirsten Storms Delays Brain Surgery, Hints at GH Return
23 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Kirsten Storms is delaying brain surgery for an aneurysm.
- She is in a 'gray zone' regarding the procedure's necessity.
- Storms hints at a possible return to General Hospital soon.

Kirsten Storms, known for her role on General Hospital, has provided an update on her health following a brain aneurysm diagnosis. She recently met with a neurosurgeon who described her condition as being in the 'gray zone,' indicating that surgery is not immediately mandatory but should be monitored. This news offers a measure of relief, allowing Storms to consider a less invasive 'wait and see' plan rather than proceeding with an immediate operation.
Storms previously underwent surgery in June 2021 for a cyst and later discovered the aneurysm during a scan in January of this year. A procedure to coil the aneurysm was unsuccessful. She acknowledged the difficulty of discussing her health publicly, referencing past surgeries, but expressed gratitude for the support received from fans. Her decision to delay surgery comes after a period of significant life changes, including moving from Los Angeles to Nashville.
