Key Takeaways

Is a New Love Triangle Brewing on GH?
News that Kirsten Storms (Maxie) has resumed filming at GH after taking a hiatus to focus on her health issues has fans buzzing. While fans are thrilled that the beloved actress is back on the ABC soap, it has raised a very important question about Maxie’s love life.
Maxie has had many relationships on GH. However, only two men have truly ever won her heart: Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) and Nathan (Ryan Paevey). They are both great loves of Maxie’s for different reasons.
Despite Maxie building a life with Spinelli again, Nathan’s return will rock her world. The anticipation of seeing who Maxie will choose when she wakes up has GH fans talking about who they think is the right man for her.
One fan on X got the ball rolling by asking whether fans would like to see Maxie with Nathan or Spinelli.
“I’m an old school Spixie fan. I think Nathan was the right choice when they were together, but now Spixie is the right choice and should be endgame,” wrote a fan.
There were several “Spinelli’ responses, with some fans pushing for the Nathan and Lulu (Alexa Havins) pairing that the ABC soap has been teasing.
Other fans worry that Nathan isn’t the real deal and is part of the Cesar Faison (Anders Hove) final project drama, which would result in Maxie getting hurt and her hurting Spinelli again if she ditched him for Nathan.
Not everyone was Team Spinelli, however. Nathan has plenty of fans on his side despite the mystery surrounding his return and his whereabouts over the past seven years.
“Is this really even a question? Lol Nathan everyday of the week,” declared a fan.
In the end, GH fans are divided over who is the right man for Maxie. However, fear over the real reason Nathan returned does seem to have given Spinelli a bit of an edge, and we agree with those fans.
The uncertainty of who Nathan really is makes the decision of who’s the best man for Maxie more challenging. For us, though, we would still choose Spinelli. There’s something about Maxie and Spinelli that just makes us smile.
