Performers of the Week:
General Hospital’s Kirsten Storms
Our heart hurts for Maxie! She is living in a world of uncertainty and pain. She is fearful that Peter could return at any moment and she is desperately missing her daughter. Knowing that if she stayed in Port Charles she would eventually slip up, Maxie set plans to leave town to ensure her child’s safety. Kirsten - who is a really pretty crier lol - has shown beautiful and emotional work over the last few weeks. Especially this week, when she opened up to Nina with the truth about Baby Louise being raised by Brook Lynn.
The Bold and the Beautiful’s Aaron D. Spears
Sometimes the end of a friendship can be more dramatic and poignant than a breakup! Aaron alongside Don Diamont delivered some powerful scenes this week as Justin was confronted about his betrayal. It was dramatic and heartbreaking at the same time. Now, exiled by Bill, Justin has pledged his loyalty to Ridge and the Forresters. And we are here for it! We’ve been asking for years to see some juicy material for Spears and Bold has certainly delivered on that.
