It took General Hospital only a single episode for Maxie to decide that what she and Nathan had is dead and buried, and her life is with Spinnelli now. Cool, Nathan said, and bounced off to Lulu to report that he’s a free man. Let’s get it on! But Maxie and Nathan will still be connected through James. Which is an excellent reason for Maxie to use her sleuthing—and snooping—skills to figure out where Nathan has been for seven years—and whether he is really her Nathan.
Key Takeaways
- Maxie needs to know who her son is spending time with.
- No one else is interested in where Nathan has been.
- Maxie may not be as over Nathan when he and Lulu get serious.

Vested Interest
Maxie (Kirsten Storms) may have decided she and Spinnelli (Bradford Anderson) are meant to be together—for the moment—but Nathan (Ryan Paevey) is still James’ (Gary James Fuller) father. And there is still a huge, glaring question mark where his last seven years are supposed to be.
See No Evil, Care No Evil
The Port Charles Police Department hired Nathan back onto the force without so much a smidge of concern that he might be brain-damaged… or brainwashed… or an imposter. It was all, “Welcome aboard, full steam ahead!”
Liesel (Kathleen Gatti) is thrilled to have her baby boy back, even though she’s been part of an imposter scheme or two in her own day. Nina (Cynthia Watros) is happy to see her little brother/cousin, and Britt (Kelly Thibaud) is approaching with caution, but still accepting. Does that leave Maxie as the one to go digging for the truth?
Excuse Me
Maxie may tell herself that this is all about James, and she’s ecstatic with Spinnelli and doesn’t care that her ex is now making goo-goo eyes at her BFF. But the more serious Nathan and Lulu (Alexa Havins) get, the more focused we suspect Maxie will get about finding out where Nathan was during his missing almost-decade. And if she’s the one who finally manages to get to the bottom of things, we hope she tells us. Because we’ve been suspicious from the start!
