General Hospital spoilers suggest Nathan West’s (Ryan Paevey) miraculous return threatens to upend Damien Spinelli’s (Bradford Anderson) life with Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms)!
With Nathan confirmed alive via DNA and fingerprints, Maxie — still in a coma from her heart attack — faces a heart-wrenching choice when she wakes: her first love and legal husband, Nathan, or Spinelli, who has been her rock and best friend.
Fans see Maxie leaning toward Nathan, bound by their shared son, James West (Gary James Fuller), leaving Spinelli adrift.
Meanwhile, young James faces turmoil meeting his dad for the first time, potentially sidelining Spinelli, who has been his stand-in father.
As Spinelli wrestles with loss, Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening) is also going to be reeling, fearing she is losing Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) to Britt Westbourne’s (Kelly Thiebaud) influence.
Could this shared pain forge a friendship between Spinelli and Lulu that blooms into more?
Maxie’s Choice and James’s Turmoil
Nathan’s return is a fairy-tale shock, but it spells trouble for Spinelli’s dream of proposing to Maxie.
Fans suspect Maxie, upon waking, will choose Nathan — her husband and James’ dad — unable to move on with Spinelli when their love story was cut short by Nathan’s “death” in 2018.
James, who has only known Spinelli as a father figure, faces major upheaval meeting Nathan, potentially leaving Spinelli feeling like he’s “flapping in the wind.” Spinelli can’t burden a child with his hurt, but the thought of losing that bond with James will sting. Fans are gossiping on Facebook: “Spinelli’s heart is breaking, but he’s too good to fight a kid’s dad!”
GH Spoilers Gush Lulu Has Parallel Pain
Lulu’s world is also crumbling; Rocco’s obsession with Britt — his surrogate mother from his stolen infancy — threatens her maternal bond. Britt’s return and Rocco’s questions about his early months could pull him closer to her, leaving Lulu feeling sidelined.
Like Spinelli, she is bound to grapple with loss without blaming a child. Their shared pain — watching their “kids” gravitate toward others — could spark late-night talks, perhaps at the hospital waiting for Maxie to wake up.
Fans spy a spark: Spinelli’s quirky kindness and Lulu’s resilience might turn commiseration into connection, especially with Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) distracted by Nathan’s crash and still uninterested in a reunion with Lulu after her meddling in Giovanni ‘Gio’ Palmieri’s (Giovanni Mazza) adoption scandal.
Just Comfort, or a New Romance?
Spinelli and Lulu’s common ground could blossom into friendship, with coffee runs turning flirty as they lean on each other. If Maxie chooses Nathan and Rocco bonds with Britt, a slow-burn romance might ignite, offering Spinelli a fresh start and Lulu stability.
But Liesl Obrecht’s (Kathleen Gati) meddling or Maxie’s recovery could complicate things. The fans are divided: some long for a “Spulu” love story, others want Spinelli to fight for Maxie and won’t settle for Lulu ending up with anyone but Dante.
Will shared heartbreak lead to love, or just a fleeting bond? Let us know what you think is going to happen in the comments below, and keep checking back for more GH news and spoilers every day.

How about Maxie and Spinneli stay together, and Nathan and Lulu get together? Maxie and Spinneli are just such a perfect fit and he has really stepped up to be a father to all 3 of her kids.
Don't do that to Spinelli please! He's loved Maxie longer than Nathan has been in the picture and as always been there for her. I know Nathan was the love of her life but its been 7 years and she has had to move on! Once Nathan gets his memory back he'll realize she's a different woman now with a different life! Let Nathan move on and find a new love maybe with Lulu! Nathan can still be father to James when James is ready!
