General Hospital‘s Maurice Benard Recently Shared A Throwback Clip Of Kirstin Storms On Instagram
Storms is known for playing Maxie Jones on General Hospital. She joined the soap in 2005, having previously been part of Days of Our Lives as Isabella “Belle” Black.
Recently, news has come out that Storms’ ex-husband, Brandon Barash, had filed a restraining order against her. At the time, he shared that he obtained the order because he feared for their daughter Harper’s safety.

She may need you now more than ever.” He confirmed he had with a simple, “Yes.” With this, though he didn’t elaborate, he confirmed that he had reached out to her amid the ongoing drama.
While this reply simple, Benard also spoke highly of Storms in the caption to the post. He wrote, “I rewatch this interview and I forgot how incredible it was. I remember before @kirstenstorms came in I didn’t really know if she was gonna open up or not. She’s genuinely kind of private. But she talked about everything she was so damn impressive. She could have her own show.”
