Storms, who shares her daughter with ex-husband and former “General Hospital” star Brandon Barash, said she taped her final episode of the year “the week before last week” and hinted she could come back in a few months, while her plotline will energize viewers in her absence.

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.
