Maxie (Kirsten Storms) couldn’t believe her ears when she was told that Nathan (Ryan Paevey) was back from the dead on General Hospital. And when she came face-to-face with her “late” husband, she couldn’t believe her eyes. In the seven years since his death, she had moved on with her life, but seeing him again brought back memories of the four years that they had spent together.
From their first meeting to their first kiss, all the way to their romantic wedding and his heartbreaking demise, Maxie and Nathan — known as “Naxie” to their legions of fans — shared a connection that made their love story one of the show’s most popular romantic offerings of the 2010s. While their future remains uncertain, join us for a look back at their past in this photo gallery to see what made this pairing so special.
In September 2014, Nathan and “Levi” squared off in a final confrontation. Levi got the upper hand and was about to shoot Nathan when Maxie saved the day by stabbing the villain in the back with an Aztec dagger.
Once they were both safe, Nathan pulled Maxie into their first kiss, though what with Levi’s dead body on the ground next to them, they quickly realized that this wasn’t really the right time for romance.
