Kirsten Storms Was ‘Taken Aback' When She Learned She'd Be Temporarily Replaced on ‘General Hospital'
Kirsten Storms is opening up about what it was like to be temporarily replaced in her long-running 'General Hospital' role. Storms, who has played Maxie on the historic soap opera since May 2005, was recently replaced temporarily by Nicole Paggi due to scheduling conflicts. In a recent sit-down with Soap Opera Digest, Storms said that she was at first surprised to hear that she'd be tagged out of the role during her absence, but was glad that someone would be there to keep her storyline going. More from Variety Chris Robinson, 'General Hospital' Actor Who Played Rick Webber, Dies at 86 Denise Alexander, 'General Hospital' and 'Days of Our Lives' Actress, Dies at 85 'General Hospital' Celebrates Monica Quartermaine and Its 62nd Anniversary (EXCLUSIVE) 'I would be lying if I didn't say that I was taken aback a bit by it,' she said. 'I would prefer that someone play Maxie and be playing Maxie well to keep the character relevant and in the soap world still because it doesn't take much for a character to die off and for somebody else to come in and be in a front-burner storyline. I was very excited just to know that she was still going to be in Port Charles and doing lots of things.' This isn't the first time that another actress has subbed in to play Maxie. Jen Lilley stepped in to play the role in September 2011 when Storms was forced to take medical leave after being diagnosed with endometriosis. Storms returned to the show a year later. This also isn't the first time Paggi stepped in to play Maxie. She played the role in December 2023. Her other credits include 'Clipped,' 'The Rookie: Feds,' '9-1-9,' 'Rizzoli & Isles' and 'Mad Love.'

Smith is undoubtedly the star of the show however Qerim has been a constant presence and developed into a key figure on the program. The 41-year-old took to social media to celebrate the 10-year anniversary and thanked fans for 'rocking with us' over the past decade. In an Instagram post, she wrote: 'Another NBA szn in the books. Thank y'all for rocking with us 10 yrs & counting. 'Time to work on my tan-lines, shut my brain off & be with the fam. See ya in a few weeks. Grateful always, MQ'.

Qerim, 40, told Bustle in 2018 that she dealt with symptoms such as fatigue, pelvic pain and bloating from the disease, which she was diagnosed with at the age of 26. The disease is described by the Mayo Clinic as 'an often-painful condition in which tissue that is similar to the inner lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus,' and that 'it often affects the ovaries, fallopian tubes and the tissue lining the pelvis.' Qerim shared on Instagram that she had a recent surgery related to the disease, and offered a rare public comment on the 'very private' issue. 'March is Endometriosis Awareness Month. I really hesitated on posting this, b/c I'm a very private person…but if I can help even 1 person…it's worth it. Dr Kanayama, you are an answer to 12 years of prayer. THANK YOU. You are a miracle in my life, and more miracles to come,' she wrote.

Research Launched Into Impacts Of Endometriosis In NZ
Endometriosis New Zealand and the University of Canterbury have launched a major new research project aimed at building a comprehensive picture of how endometriosis impacts the lives of those living with the condition in New Zealand. Titled Barriers and Facilitators of Endometriosis Care in Aotearoa New Zealand, the research will involve a series of short surveys running from June 2025 to March 2026, exploring topics such as diagnosis, treatment, work, education, finances, and patient experiences in the healthcare system. "This is a landmark study for the 120,000 New Zealanders living with endometriosis," says Endometriosis New Zealand Chief Executive Tanya Cooke. "For too long, their experiences have been under-recognised in health and policy settings." "This research will provide the information we need to push for meaningful change and inform the development of a future National Endometriosis Action Plan." The project is open to anyone over the age of 18 in New Zealand with suspected or confirmed endometriosis. Participants can choose to complete one, some, or all ten monthly surveys, each taking around 10 minutes. All data will be confidential and managed under strict University of Canterbury ethical guidelines. Lead researcher and PhD candidate Katherine Ellis said the research would fill significant gaps in our understanding. "We know endometriosis has wide-ranging impacts on people's lives, from chronic pain and fertility issues to lost income and disrupted education. Currently we have to rely mainly on international data to try to understand these issues," says Ellis. "This research will provide us with New Zealand-specific data to inform health system responses, influence government policy and help target support." "This project is about turning the lived experiences of those with endometriosis into insights that can contribute towards better policymaking in future." The first survey, which collects demographic information and connects with the subsequent surveys, is now open. Participants who complete each month's survey will also go into the draw to win a $100 gift box, generously donated by Miller Road Fragrances. "This is your chance to help change the future of endometriosis care in Aotearoa," says Cooke. "We are asking everyone who is eligible to share their story." You can sign up and undertake the initial demographic survey, for more information see link below.

Michigan woman shares her experience suffering from Endometriosis
HASLETT, Mich.(WLNS)—A Mid-Michigan woman shares her journey about her on-going struggle with Endometriosis. Endometriosis is a condition where tissue from the lining of the uterus grows in other parts of the body, often causing pain and even putting a woman's fertility at risk. March is Endometriosis Awareness Month and Maddie Mehigh says she constantly uses her heating pad to combat painful cramps caused by the disorder. 'For me, it's in my abdomen, my ribcage, mostly, and then it gets into my back pretty severely,' said Mehigh. Mehigh was diagnosed with Endometriosis at 13 years old and says her condition makes even the simplest things like going to school and working, twice as hard. 'I've missed a lot of days of school due to it,' said Mehigh. 'I was always very very sick.' It's a condition that brings many women unbearable pain and unfortunately comes with common misconceptions. 'People often assume it's just a period disease, and it's very much not that,' said Mehigh. 'It's found from head to toe. People often think you can be too young to have it.' Because the disorder isn't visible on the outside, many people don't understand the severity of her discomfort. 'I've had several doctors tell me that I just need to see a psychiatrist,' said Mehigh. 'I was accused of being bulimic by one doctor because I was throwing up so often from not being able to keep the food down because of the inflammation was so intense.' As March slowly comes to an end, she hopes her story can shine a light on an illness, many women suffer with. 'There's the Endometriosis awareness group, and there's also Endometriosis of Michigan,' said Mehigh. 'Also educating your family and your friends on how they can support you is important.'
