As Maxie battled a heart attack, the heartstopping August 19, 2025 episode of General Hospital<\/a> left us all fearing for the fan favorite character\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

Maxie\u2019s Life Is On The Line<\/h2>\n

After Maxie (Kirsten Storms, who is temporarily exiting GH<\/a>) collapsed on live television during Deception\u2019s segment on Home & Heart, everyone rallied around the beloved fashionista. Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) was forced to inform her nemesis, Lulu (Alexa Havins), but when she called Felicia (Kristina Wagner), Maxie\u2019s mother didn\u2019t answer.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t until paramedics rolled Maxie in on a stretcher that Felicia, Lucas (Van Hansis), and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) all learned of Maxie\u2019s medical emergency. After Maxie was said to be having a heart attack, Lucy (Lynn Herring) comforted Felicia, who already experienced her daughter\u2019s heart failure back in the 90s.<\/p>\n

But it was Spinelli frantically running around GH worrying about his Maximista that tugged at everyone\u2019s heart strings, worrying he shouldn\u2019t have left the kids home alone and then wondering how he could ever live without Maxie.<\/p>\n

At the same time, Maxie went into a-fib and began flatlining, and that was when Lucas did all he could. He not only used the defibrillator on his cousin, but reminded her that no one else could plan his future wedding to Marco (Adrian Anchondo). Finally, Maxie\u2019s heart began again and Lucas assured everyone the worst was over.<\/p>\n

Maxie\u2019s Heart-to-Heart<\/h2>\n

Maxie having a sudden heart attack is a major scare for her loved ones. Back in 1994, a young Maxie was dying of heart failure and in need of a transplant. Felicia and Frisco (Jack Wagner) worried they were about to lose their daughter when a devastating miracle occured: Maxie\u2019s cousin BJ (Brighton Hertford) died in a bus accident, and her father Tony (Brad Maule) decided to donate his daughter\u2019s heart to Maxie.<\/p>\n

Maxie experienced heart trouble again in the early 2000s, where she was visited by BJ\u2019s presence (as Storms pulled double duty also playing BJ) and was reminded her time wasn\u2019t up yet.<\/p>\n
