Is Nathan in Danger?

It seems as if these two have been waiting a lifetime to finally be together. With overcoming so many obstacles that kept them apart for a year, it would only be fair that the two could have their chance at love. Maxie and Nathan overcame her trip on her self discovering journey, the wrath of Levi Dunkleman, and the ridiculous rulings of Judge Walters.

Nathan gave Maxie a Christmas miracle by turning to his mother, Liesl Obrecht for help. They were able to sway Judge Walter’s decision regarding Maxie’s visitation with her daughter, Georgie. Maxie finally got to spend time with her daughter while visiting in Portland. Maxie is about to have everything she has ever wanted. Getting home to Nathan hasn’t been easy, but now that she is ready to come face to face with him, there could be yet another setback.

According to Maxie’s ex, Spinelli, Nathan’s private plan should have landed in Port Charles about a half hour ago, (from the time she called Spinelli). Why has’t Nathan’s plane arrived where Maxie is waiting impatiently? There could possibly yet another obstacle keeping Maxie and Nathan apart. The minds of the fans have already started to flirt with the obvious, a dark outcome. Could Nathan’s plane have crashed? Will Maxie ever get her chance to be with Nathan?

Nathan Gives Maxie a Christmas Miracle!

Things have been looking pretty grim for Maxie and the chance to be able to see her daughter who is almost a year old. At her last custody hearing, Judge Walters denied Maxie the right for visitation because she “lied” to him. SHe was supposed to follow his ridiculous order to stay away from Nathan West. Judge Walters claims that Nathan is a bad influence since he was willing to lie under oath to protect Maxie. The fans think that the Judge has ulterior reasoning. There has got to be something more behind this unrealistic request and ruling for Maxie. What could Judge Walters possibly have against Maxie? Could it be an old vendetta against her parents, or maybe an association with Nathan or his family? At this point, it is still unknown if there is a hidden reason that Judge Walters is abusing his powers when it comes to Maxie’s custody case.

General Hospital rumors indicate a few things regarding this story. One, we know that Nathan has promised Maxie that he will get her to see her daughter. As he was second guessing himself and thinking that maybe he should have made a promise he shouldn’t keep, perhaps he will pull through and do just as he promised. General Hospital spoilers reveal that Spinelli will be in Port Charles for the holidays. GH rumors suggest that Nathan pulls some strings and Spinelli and baby Georgie will be paying Maxie a visit for Christmas!

What do you think? Will Nathan pull it off? Will Maxie get to be with her daughter for Christmas?
