GENERAL Hospital’s Kirsten Storms shared a scary photo of her eye that left fans stunned.
Kirsten, who played Maxie Jones on General Hospital, shared a new photo on Instagram showing off her unexpected black eye.
The 40-year-old actress pouted in a black and white close-up selfie that showed her face completely covered in what appeared to be black powder.
She revealed in her caption, however, that it was coffee grounds.
Kirsten accidentally opened a coffee can that exploded directly in her face – specifically on one side.
“One of those ‘funny story, but not funny when I need coffee’ moments…” she joked in the caption.

“I’ve opened several cans of @illy_coffee and never once has the powder exploded out of that beautiful metal container,” she added.
“There is a first time for everything.
“I can definitely say that I prefer my coffee brewed in hot water (or with ice)… straight from the pot doesn’t taste as good.”
Kirsten clarified that a warning label was written on the can in several languages, ultimately assuming blame for the accident.
WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE?
The photo left fans surprised, with some questioning whether it referred to a new plot in the soap opera.
“I thought it was a GH story!! I’m thinking ‘who would dare give Maxie a black eye?’ one wrote.
“Not me thinking you filmed a crazy scene for the show and that was your makeup,” a second added.
“One quick moment made me think ‘does she need backup?’” said a third, wondering if Kirsten had a black eye.
“Okay, so that’s coffee, right??? It’s not a bruise???” another asked.
