Is Sidwell Behind What Happened to Maxie on General Hospital?

General Hospital had Maxie on the edge of their seat when she crashed at the hospital. She went from seemingly being fine to having a heart attack out of nowhere. However, there may be a much more sinister reason for the health crisis she experienced.

Sidwell’s Agenda May Be At Play

There have been a few clues that Maxie’s (Kirsten Storms) near-death experience could have been planned and not a fluke.

At the Metro Court, Sidwell (Carlo Rota) met James (Gary James Fuller). He learned more about Maxie than he knew, including her connection to Mac (John J. York). Sidwell was interested in what the little boy had to say, which didn’t give us too much pause, until Maxie’s emergency.

While that may not be enough to draw conclusions, there is one more piece of the puzzle.

When Sidwell was spending time with Lucy (Lynn Herring) ahead of the segment on Home & Heart, he was excited about it. Marco (Adrian Anchondo) found it odd that his father would be tuning in for the segment. Even though he has an interest in Deception, he’s never been one to sit and watch things like that.

Both are minor red flags, but enough to cause a bit of intrigue. After all, Sidwell has his hands in several situations in Port Charles, so why not this one?

Maxie is Set to Exit GH

It was announced that Kirsten Storms would be exiting the GH canvas for several months after she wrapped her scenes before summer break.

This appears to be the beginning of that, as she is expected to be off-screen until later this year or early next year. She recently moved from Los Angeles to Nashville and is taking time to adjust to the change with her daughter, Harper.

What happened to Maxie will have lasting consequences, and it may be a while before any answers are given.
