Maxie Jones is played by Kirsten Storms in the soap opera General Hospital. Maxie came back to Port Charles to graduate high school however her heart failed while she was on the ship, Haunted Star. She was set to have another heart transplant but she didn't want to be separated from her cousin's heart which was previously implanted on her. Luckily, her condition improved and there was no need for an operation. Once in Port Charles, she met Jesse Beaudry, a framed up cop who was on the run. They stayed together for a while until he was cleared and he realized he didn't want her anymore. Jesse was later killed in a mob-related shoot-out. His death took a toll on Maxie and she began drinking and partying excessively. She hung out with guys like Nikolas Cassadine and Lucky Spencer, and fed Lucky some pills to get him to do whatever she wanted. She was also the reason why Lucky's marriage to Elizabeth Webber ended. She was so attached to him that she faked a pregnancy and a miscarriage to keep him. However, her lies were exposed and she was named as the "pill pusher." She later met Cooper Barrett while they were caught inside a vault in a hostage taking. The two bonded very well, but later Maxie gets into a secret affair with Cooper's best friend, Logan.
