Shocking Twist: Nathan or Spinelli? The Choice That Could Change Maxie’s Life Forever
General Hospital spoilers claim the shocking return of Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) throws Maxie Jones’ (Kirsten Storms) love life into chaos — and she doesn’t even know it yet!
With Nathan confirmed alive — his DNA and fingerprints matching the car crash victim in the ER — fans are torn over who Maxie should choose when she wakes from her coma.
Damien Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) is poised to pop the question, having raised Maxie’s son James West (Gary James Fuller) as his own, ready for their long-awaited happily-ever-after.
But Nathan, Maxie’s first love, is back, and if his feelings burn as brightly as before, Maxie faces an impossible choice between two epic love stories when she wakes. The fan base is so torn — some rooting for Nathan’s romantic return, others championing Spinelli’s steadfast devotion.
Nathan’s Return Brings a Love Rekindled
Nathan’s resurrection, possibly tied to a WSB cover-up or lab trickery like Britt Westbourne’s (Kelly Thiebaud), is sure to reignite his passionate history with Maxie.
Their love was a soap opera dream — tragic, intense, and cut short by his 2018 “death” at Cesar Faison’s (Anders Hove) hands. Fans who adore “Naxie” are swooning, flooding Facebook with posts like, “Nathan’s back for Maxie’s heart!”
If he wakes before her, his presence at her bedside could be the “magic pill” to snap her out of her coma, rekindling their flame. But with rumors of Nathan’s trauma — perhaps some kind of darker edge — some worry he’s not the hero Maxie needs.
Spinelli’s Devotion is a Steadfast Anchor
Spinelli’s unwavering support through Maxie’s heart attack and coma has cemented his role as her rock, raising James as his own. His readiness to propose as soon as she wakes shows a love that’s endured years of trials.
Fans championing “Spixie” argue he deserves the win, with one Facebook post declaring, “Spinelli’s earned Maxie’s forever!” His tech-savvy loyalty and quirky charm contrast Nathan’s intensity, offering stability.
But if Maxie’s heart still beats for Nathan, Spinelli’s proposal could crash, leaving him heartbroken and James caught in the middle.
Will She Choose Home or Heart?
When Maxie wakes — potentially delayed until Kirsten Storms returns next year — she’ll face a gut-wrenching decision. Nathan’s return could pull her toward their lost love, especially with James meeting his dad.
But Spinelli’s steadfast presence might anchor her, valuing the family they’ve built. Nathan fans are craving a fairy-tale reunion, while Spinelli supporters want their underdog victory.
How can we possibly choose? Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) and Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) could work to sway Maxie, but the choice is hers.
Will Maxie follow her heart, or will it fail her before she gets the chance? Who will be left standing holding it? Stay tuned for more GH news and spoilers just ahead.
