“In the Show’s Final Moments…
Maxie’s Farewell (for now)
Lucas has Maxie prepped for her transfer to Boston. …….. One-liner: Nothing says “soap hospital drama” like a coma patient getting shipped off to Boston with more fanfare than a rockstar on tour. ……..  Final One-liner: From Boston tears to Croatian burner phones, Drewfus tantrums to Ava globe-smashing — this finale was pure soap opera chaos… and we wouldn’t want it any other way.” 

Many fans took an interest in the post. A fan named Barb Kolasky commented,

Here’s everything to know about what happened on the recent episode of General Hospital

Maxie’s departure for Boston

Maxie, who was determined to bring Sonny’s truth to light, suddenly collapsed after using a product. The incident immediately raised suspicion toward Sidwell, who had strong motives to keep her silent. Rushed to General Hospital, Maxie’s condition worsened, and she slipped into a coma. Doctors later decided to transfer her to Boston for more advanced treatment and a better chance at recovery.

When the news of her transfer spread, Lulu quickly informed Cody about Maxie’s situation. At GH, Lulu arrived with Brook Lynn so they could bid Maxie a heartfelt goodbye before her departure. Cody, deeply concerned, rushed to the hospital to see her as well, offering words of encouragement and hope. In a particularly emotional moment, Maxie’s young son gave her his father, Detective Nathan West’s badge, a powerful reminder of love, family, and resilience, as she was prepared for her journey to Boston.
