What should have been a major moment for Portia, Curtis, and Isaiah became a little less captivating the second Maxie appeared on screen during the February 12, 2026 episode of General Hospital.
Key Takeaways
- Portia’s paternity test named Curtis the father of the baby.
- Felicia, Georgie, and James visited Maxie in Boston.
- Maxie suddenly woke up.
Portia’s Paternity Test Results Are In
It all happened pretty fast once Portia (Brook Kerr) made the decision to get the paternity test. Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson), Trina (Tabyana Ali), and Curtis (Donnell Turner) quickly gathered around Portia as Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) did the test and handed her the results.
When Portia announced that Curtis was the father, joy took over Curtis’ face while worry took over Isaiah’s. And while Curtis agreed to joint custody, excited to finally raise a child, Portia assured Isaiah nothing would change between them.
Maxie Wakes Up!
Of course, the baby daddy drama was second on viewers’ minds when Felicia (Kristina Wagner), Georgie (Lily Fisher), and James (Gary James Fuller) were gathered at Maxie’s (Kirsten Storms) bedside to celebrate Valentine’s Day. James even decorated his mom’s Boston hospital room with hearts and garland, sure Maxie could feel the love they were sending her.
After each of them shared a private moment with Maxie, it was time to go and the sibling fighting began. While Georgie wanted to go to the bookstore, James was determined to go ice skating. As he fought his sister on it, a voice shocked them all.
“James Malcolm West, you are not going ice skating!” Maxie declared, standing in the doorway of her hospital room, surprising her mom and kids.
As General Hospital spoilers for February 13 tease that Felicia and Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) will have a big decision to make, it’s clearly whether an awake and well Maxie should stay in Boston to heal or come home to Port Charles. And in true soap fashion, Maxie returns just as her presumed dead ex-husband is falling for her best friend.
