Along with her 11-year-old daughter Harper, Storms is moving to Tennessee, which makes starring in General Hospital (the show shoots in Los Angeles) a bit complicated, the Zenon alum said. So, hoping to keep her spot on the beloved ABC soap opera amid the move, she spoke to executive producer Frank Valentini in March.

Storms, 41, has already filmed her final scenes — for now. Amid her absence, she is moving from Los Angeles to Nashville with her daughter, Harper, 11, whom she shares with her ex-husband and fellow soap actor, Brandon Borash.

Earlier this month, a GH spokesperson confirmed that Paggi will temporarily replace Storms on the long-running series. Paggi will appear as Maxie on the show’s July 30 and August 13 episodes. Storms, for her part, will return during the week of August 18.
