Plus, it didn’t hurt that actor Ryan Paevey was easy on the eyes.
Though Storms had been portraying Maxie since 2005, Paevey was new to the soap scene.
Let’s take a look at how this adorable couple came to be and what ended it all.
She sublet her apartment to one Nathan West, a newbie to Port Charles, and sparks flew immediately.
Nathan was suspicious of Levi’s too-good-to-be-true persona and was there to support Maxie when his instincts proved true.
When the truth came out, Levi kidnapped Maxie and her best friend Lulu Falconeri (Emme Rylan).
He felt betrayed by her and ended their relationship.
Ellie followed Spinelli to town shortly after, realizing that she had made a mistake in sending him away.
Similarly, Nathan had realized that he’d been too quick to give up on Maxie.
They were successful and that night all four of them realized they should be back with their respective partners.
She had cheated on him repeatedly throughout their relationship and he’d had the marriage annulled.
Damian Spienlli officiated the ceremony and Maxie’s daughter Georgie was the flower girl.
Fearing that he was having an affair in her absence, she confronted him.
The two were able to overcome this small speed bump and were as in love as ever.
In Nathan’s attempt to rescue the love of his life, anunhinged Faison shot his own son.
Luckily, Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) arrived in time to shoot and kill Faison and save Maxie.
Aftera heartbreaking and tearful goodbyewith Maxie, Nathan died.
By 2021,Maxie was pregnant with Peter’s childand preparing to marry him.
Luckily, the truth about his past and his character was exposed before they two said their vows.
After the tumultuous few years she’s had, Maxie certainly deserves something good in her life.
