General Hospital’s Most Tragic Love Stories Ever

Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) and Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) might not have a very long relationship compared to some of the supercouples on “General Hospital,” but that doesn’t mean fans loved them any less. Nathan arrived in Port Charles and rented out Maxie’s apartment while she was out of town, but when she came back with Levi Dunkleman (Zachary Garred) on her arm, Nathan immediately disliked him. 

As Maxie and Nathan got to know each other, they developed feelings for one another, but since she was with Levi, neither one acted on it. However, after Victor Cassadine (Thaao Penghlis) imprisoned them, they confessed their feelings for one another.

Nathan and Maxie started dating, but she dumped him when he accepted Damian Spinelli’s (Bradford Anderson) offer of a boxing match for Maxie’s love. Eventually, Nathan was able to win Maxie over at the Nurses’ Ball and they reunited. They tied the knot in a happy ceremony, but Maxie’s trip to Portland for work caused Nathan to distance himself from her. However, all was forgiven when she returned and soon became pregnant. 

Unfortunately, Nathan’s father Cesar Faison (Anders Hove) showed up in Port Charles determined to cause trouble. He kidnapped Maxie and held her hostage, and as Nathan tried to rescue her, Cesar shot and killed him. Nathan died with Maxie by his side, and all she had left was their child together. Despite their short-lived romance, Nathan’s death left fans wanting more from the couple that had so much potential.
