Maxie Jones (full name Maria Maximiliana Jones) is a fictional character on the popular ABC soap opera, General Hospital. She is the oldest daughter of supercouple Frisco and Felicia Jones. The character was originated by Robyn Richards in 1993, who played the character until 2005. Since 2005, the character has been portrayed by actress Kirsten Storms. Maxie is also one of the characters in the summer 2007 run of General Hospital: Night Shift, which premiered on July 12.
Fictional character history
Childhood
Maxie was born on Halloween night in 1990 and was given the first name Maria in honor of Felicia's grandmother, who was Texas-based Mexican royalty with both Anglo and Aztec connections. The show has used the upper-class English pronunciation of Maria's name: ma-RYE-uh, with a long "i," like singer Mariah Carey, but the name is spelled Maria. Maxie's middle name, Maximiliana, was given in honor of Felicia's relative Maximilian. Felicia and Frisco initially called their daughter "Max," but "Maxie" was the nickname that stuck.
Maxie's biggest story came in 1994 when she developed Kawasaki disease and required a heart transplant. Her cousin Barbara Jean "BJ" Jones was killed when her school van was hit by a drunk driver. BJ was declared brain dead, devastating her family and friends. Her heart was transplanted into Maxie. Fans consider that one of the most heartbreaking scenes on General Hospital was when BJ's father, Dr. Tony Jones, laid his head on Maxie's chest and listened to his daughter's heart beat within his niece (a similar emotional scene occurred in the hospital series "St. Elsewhere", when one episode ended with a doctor listening to the heartbeat of his now dead wife, as the heart beat inside a stranger patient). It was a storyline that won much critical acclaim and several awards.
Maxie and her sister Georgie have been raised by Felicia and their stepfather Mac Scorpio. Their father Frisco has had little involvement with them. Although Mac never legally adopted the girls, both Maxie and Georgie think of him as their father.
Adolescence
Maxie's first crush was on Lucky Spencer, but he didn't return her feelings and she was crushed. To get close to Lucky, she asked him to be her tutor. She even went as far as getting birth control pills and sneaked into Lucky's room. He gently told her he only thought of her as a friend.
While Maxie babysat for Lulu Spencer, a fire broke out in the attic where she was playing while Maxie was outside on the phone. Maxie and Georgie were then sent away to Texas again. As a teenager and young woman, Maxie has been rebellious. She felt under a great amount of pressure to live for both her dead cousin BJ and herself because of the heart transplant. The burden has sometimes been too much. Maxie gave up on Lucky for a while with crushes on Nikolas Cassadine, Zander Smith, and a rich-but-rude Kyle Ratcliffe. Maxie and her little sister, Georgie took jobs as candy stripers at the hospital as an after school job.
Maxie, trying to feel adult-like started dating troublemaker Kyle. Kyle persuaded her to steal pills from the hospital and ultimately she got caught. Still, even after promising Mac she'd stay away, Maxie began seeing Kyle again. Maxie desperately wanted him to like her, so she went to a party with him where they ended up almost having sex. But when Maxie backed out, Kyle lied and told everyone they slept together. Eventually the two made up and Maxie agreed to lose her virginity to him. What she didn't know was that Kyle set up a web cam to record the whole event for everyone at school to watch on the Internet.
Afterwards Kyle was regretful of hurting Maxie and asked her to the prom. Mac didn't let her go and she ended up going with Dillon Quartermaine. When she found out that Georgie was planning on sleeping with Lucas Jones after the dance, a worried Maxie lured him into a kiss for Georgie to walk in on.
Maxie befriended Zander, who she helped while he is on the run from the police. Although it never turned romantic, Maxie came to care deeply about Zander and was devastated when he was presumed dead after the Port Charles Hotel fire.
Her first love and first serious relationship was with Jesse Beaudry. Jesse was a police officer, and was in trouble as a scapegoat for something that he did not do. Everyone believed that Jesse was the one who shot John Durant. Jesse and Maxie met, and she decided to help him hide from the cops. They were on the run together for a while, and when Jesse was exonerated of everything they decided to give the relationship a try. Although her father Mac, disapproved of the relationship, Maxie continued to see Jesse. Their love for each other grew even though it never was said aloud. In March 2006, Jesse and Maxie were at a carnival when Jesse was shot in the head. Jesse's gunshot wound left him brain dead, and he died. She was deeply saddened by this loss and some fans speculate that it was the reason why she further spiraled out of control. On the day of his funeral, Maxie received his Flag in honor of his memory. Jesse was partners with Maxie's old crush, Lucky Spencer. And on the day of his funeral, she kissed him.
Lucky Spencer
Maxie started supplying her longtime crush Lucky Spencer with pills during the span of his addiction, and the two of them ended up sleeping together. Lucky promised Maxie love and respect and he even promised to leave his wife, Elizabeth Webber. In an effort to retain Lucky, Maxie claimed to be pregnant by Lucky after using a faulty Enduro condom manufactured by ELQ Industries. She also attempted suicide when Lucky finally told her he'd lied and used her. Her heavy drinking and attempt to sleep with Diego Alcazar at a Halloween 2006 party left her pregnancy in doubt, however, as Diego surmised that she wasn't really pregnant, but that she simply needed to -be- pregnant. Maxie faked a miscarriage after a fall down the stairs but te truth about her fake pregnancy was discovered by Elizabeth.
In the weeks that followed Maxie decided to put her life together. Maxie started to flirt with other guys, explaining to Lucky how she'd tried to get him to love her but that he wouldn't. She told him she'd moved on. She befriended Sam McCall and got a job in the Metro Court Fashion Store. She was only a month into the job when the hostage situation occurred.
Metro Court Hostage Situation
Armed gunmen swept throught the Metro Court Hotel, claiming the event to be a robbery. All jewelry, cell phones, and PDA's were demanded to be handed over. Lead robber James Craig ordered two of his gunmen to get a briefcase out of the hotel vault, placed there by Lorenzo Alcazar. Maxie was used as a human shield. In the lobby, Sam McCall hit a button, which sealed the vault for twelve hours. One of the gunmen escaped the vault, but Maxie and the other gunman were trapped together. The gunman identified himself as Three. After the hostage situation ended, Maxie told everyone that Three was a hostage along with everyone else.
Coop Barrett and Logan Hayes
Three, whose real name is Coop Barrett, appeared in Maxie's bedroom after the hostage situation, claiming he had nowhere to go. Maxie agreed to shelter him until they could work things out. Jasper Jacks, hired Coop to work as a security guard. The Head of Security at the time, Max Giambetti, suspected Coop and did not trust him.
Coop and Maxie's relationship grew and became more serious. But her hatred towards Lulu Spencer took priority. Seeing a threat in Coop and Lulu's friendly conversation triggered an intense jealously and insecurity. As a result, she tried to "encourage" Logan Hayes' relationship with Lulu. However, Logan saw through Maxie's plan, and wanted something in return. Sex with Maxie. Maxie said no but later agreed to sleep with Logan after he bedded Lulu. Eventually, Maxie called off the bet but Logan told her that he actually liked Lulu. Maxie told him to do whatever he wanted, but even Lulu deserved better then him and walked away and it seemed as if that was the last of the bet.
Logan began falling for Lulu and slept with her while Maxie watched in from inside the closet. Maxie told Logan that if he didn't sleep with her, she would tell Lulu about the bet. Maxie and Logan slept together right then. While Lulu was there, Maxie came over and revealed the bet to Lulu and told her that she and Logan had already slept together. She even repeated what Lulu said to Logan after they had made love. Lulu was upset and broke up with Logan. Logan blamed Maxie for his failed relationship with Lulu. Coop walked in on Maxie and Logan passionately kissing, but didn't break up with her then. They finally broke up on September 7 2007[1] when Coop explained that he couldn't watch her self-destruct. She even admitted to her sister Georgie that she loves Coop.
Black and White Ball & Text Message Killer
Maxie decided to go to Nikolas Cassadine's Black and White Ball. But soon she finds out that it was a mistake to go. After Ric Lansing is impaled, everyone is told to stay in the ballroom. While a flash of lightning strikes, Anthony Zacchara grabs Maxie and wants to play Russian Roulette. After tricking Zacchara, Maxie hits him over the head with a vase and runs. She is startled by Lucky in the halls, and goes to the parlor with the other guests. Later, Maxie goes to the stables with Coop and Georgie.
After the Black & White Ball, the citizens of Port Charles began to suspect that a killer was running loose after Leticia Juarez, Emily Quartermaine, and Carly Corinthos were strangled. Carly was the only one to have survived, that is, until Maxie was attacked next. Maxie began to show a new appreciation for life after surviving, but Georgie began to suspect that Coop could quite possibly be the Text Message Killer.
