The General Hospital spoilers for Thursday, February 12, 2026, focus on Maxie’s big return, which hopefully means she wakes from the coma she’s been in for the past few months. This happens just as Nathan and Lulu have connected on a different level. What does Maxie’s return mean for them?
Key Takeaways

- Nathan seeks out Lulu as emotions and guilt collide
- Portia delivers life-changing paternity news
- Brook Lynn counsels Gio
Maxie’s Back!
The big news of GH’s week is that Maxie (Kirsten Storms) returns, which could mean she’s back in the land of the non-comatose. The Deception executive has been resting comfortably in that Boston clinic for months. Regardless of whether Maxie is awake, her reappearance will have quite an impact.
Of course, if she is awake, this developing situation will mean everything to Nathan (Ryan Paevey) and Lulu (Alexa Havins), who are already feeling waves of guilt over their snowstorm kiss. However, they have come to terms with their feelings during conversations with Laura (Genie Francis) and Nina (Cynthia Watros).
As Maxie returns on Thursday, look for Nathan to seek out Lulu. This isn’t going to end well. In fact, it’ll get messy, especially if you add Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and even Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) into the situation. In addition to the impact Maxie’s awakening will have on Lulu and Nathan, there’s also what it means for Sidwell (Carlo Rota). He’s the one who caused Maxie’s comatose state. What will he do when he hears that Maxie is back?
Paternity Results
One of the big stories featured in GH’s weekly video preview is Portia receiving the paternity test results. Couple that with the weekly spoilers, which reveal that Portia (Brook Kerr) will deliver big news on Thursday. Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) and Curtis (Donnell Turner) are about to find out who the baby daddy is. Finally.
With the results, we will find out which lives will be changed forever. Portia understandably wants this baby to be Isaiah’s. He has been beyond understanding, patient, and comforting to her throughout this ordeal. Meanwhile, Curtis and Portia’s marriage is ending. And Curtis resorted to pressuring Portia to take the test sooner rather than later.
So, whose baby is it? Curtis or Isaiah? When Curtis and Jordan (Tanisha Harper) discuss their future, is a baby with Portia factored into that?
Mother/Son Bonding
It’s nice that Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Gio’s relationship has settled down, and the two are starting to turn to each other. Look for Brook Lynn to counsel Gio (Giovanni Mazza), who’s probably reeling after Emma (Braedyn Bruner) left town to break bad news to her mother. Anna (Finola Hughes) is in a bad way, and the state of her mental health is scary and precarious.
Anna thinks Faison (Anders Hove) is alive, and her emotions are all over the place. And Cullum (Andrew Hawkes), Sidwell, and Pascal (Marc Forget) messed with her mind for months. Gio offered to go with Emma for support, but she told her boyfriend that she wanted to do this on her own. Because it’s what her grandmother would do. However, it’s not fun to be left behind, and maybe Brook Lynn can give Gio some words of wisdom to help him through this.
