In a dramatic turn of events on the August 19, 2025 episode of *General Hospital*, Maxie Jones experienced a health crisis that left fans on edge. After applying a new night cream on the set of Home & Heart, Maxie suddenly collapsed, prompting her co-star Lucy Coe to call for immediate medical assistance. Paramedics rushed to the scene, confirming that Maxie was suffering from a heart attack, which alarmed Lucy due to Maxie’s history of heart transplant surgery.
As the situation developed, Brook Lynn Ashton swiftly informed Spinelli of Maxie’s emergency. He hurried to the hospital, visibly distressed. Meanwhile, the camera drew attention to the night cream left behind, raising concerns about whether it played a role in Maxie’s condition. Fortunately, doctors Liz and Lucas managed to stabilize her, but the incident left many unanswered questions regarding the product’s safety.
Confrontations at Metro Court
Tensions were high at the Metro Court as Carly Corinthos updated Lulu about Dr. Obrecht’s decision to leave the hotel for the sake of Rocco. Their conversation took a heated turn with the arrival of Nina Reeves. Carly confronted Nina about the distress caused to Willow and Michael due to Nina’s decision to withhold crucial information regarding Drew.

Just as Gio, a bystander, hesitated to intervene, Brook Lynn called Lulu to inform her about Maxie’s emergency, intensifying the atmosphere. As emotions flared, Carly shoved Nina into the pool after a heated exchange, adding to the day’s drama.
Michael and Drew’s Turmoil

Diane emphasized the importance of credible witnesses while Sonny pushed for actionable solutions.
In a significant move, Drew reported Michael’s alleged assault to Anna and Turner at the hospital, claiming that Michael had struck him. When Drew confronted Anna later, Turner insisted that they take his complaint seriously, warning that Michael’s record could escalate the situation to felony assault. Drew seemed to relish the newfound leverage, although Turner hinted at deeper motivations behind his actions.
