General Hospital executive producer Frank Valentini spent the day a twittering about a "BIG" surprise coming on today's episode of General Hospital and it all lead up to the final moment of the episode in which in an arguably lack luster scene Maxie admitted to Spinelli that she saw Matt KILL Lisa Niles!
Um yea... so I definitely saw this twist coming a mile away, but I kinda got swept up in the "Shocking twist" promotion that Frank was doing and assumed that the final act might have included a twist surprise by Frisco Jones (aka Jack Wagner) for just a quick drop in! Now THAT would have been shocking and amazing, but this...not so much.
What did you think of the twist? Were you shocked? Let me know in the comments below.
It was a twist many fans did not see coming yesterday as Maxie Jones (Jen Lilley) confessed not only to killing fanfavorite Robin Scorpio-Drake, but also in a shocking storyline twist confessed to killing Lisa Niles as well!
While I cannot say I like that 'twist' in particular, I definitely LOVED the performance Lilley gave and was sucked right into the story as a whole! Now I am sure there are many more twist and turns to go before it's over, especially with Ron Carlavati writing things, but for now I am definitely going to tune in and find out what's gonna happen next.
Now on the debate side people are upset that Kristen Storms was unable to return in time to give these performances, and I completely understand that, BUT that does not take away anything from Lilley's stellar performance, she knocked it out of the park and did just as good, in my opinion, a job as Storms would have done with the material. The only difference is we, as fans, have had six years to bond with Storms and watch her develop into the loveable character that despite some awful writing we could still root for, but Lilley came in with questionable writing, under horrible circumstances and has been able to make the character into her own. The same fans wanting Storms back probably were complaining Storms first year and wanting Robyn Richards back in the role. All I can say is that I have accepted Lilley as Maxie Jones and I will enjoy her tenure however long it last, and I wish Storms the best of luck with whatever it is that has kept her away at this point.
Well this sucks. ABC Soaps In Depth is reporting that actress Kirsten Storms will not be returning to her role as Maxie Jones on General Hospital any time soon. The magazine goes on to report that actress Jen Lilley will continue in the role for the foreseeable future...
Now what does this mean? Is it contract negotiations gone awry, is Storms still sick or is this something else? Hopefully none of the above and Storms will return here soon, but if something happens I am okay with Jen Lilley being offered the role of Maxie on a more permanent basis but I think I am one of the only ones...
