She is a heart transplant patient so there was extra cause for concern when she collapsed at the Home and Heart set after applying face cream. Let’s delve into what, or rather, who, could be behind Maxie’s illness.
Did Someone Target Maxie?
Before Maxie’s mishap, Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) met James West (Gary James Fuller) and discovered that Maxie was raised by the PCPD’s Mac Scorpio (John J. York). Sidwell seemed enchanted by the boy who obviously hasn’t been taught about stranger danger.
Whenever Sidwell is adjacent to a crime, sus falls on him. And with good reason. Before the episode aired live, Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) was with Jenz when his son Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo) arrived
Jenz told him he planned to watch the Deception segment but Marco found that odd.
Was Deception Face Cream Poisoned.
Both events with Sidwell stirred fan suspicion since Sidwell never seems to do anything without a real good reason.

The rumor mill is rife with chatter that Sidwell poisoned the cream in order to keep Maxie quiet about Sonny’s illicit involvement in Deception funding. Did he think she would squeal to Mac? Definitely maybe!
Maxie appears to have a long road to recovery no matter how she became sick. And there’s a reason for that.
Kirsten Storms Off GH
It’s been announced that Kirsten Storms, who portrays Maxie, is taking an extended leave from the show. Her last scenes were taped before summer break and she is expected to be offscreen until late in the year or early next year.
Storms is taking the time to adjust to a new living situation. She recently moved from Los Angeles to Nashville and is taking a break to acclimate her daughter, Harper, to a new school and home.

What Happens Next in PC?
Thus, it may be a while before fans learn that really happened to make Maximista collapse. On the August 20 episode, Dr. Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) wondered if the cream could have been poisoned.
So, it looks like we have a whodunit on our hands, with Maxie hopefully okay in the meantime.
Tell us GH fans, do you think Jenz silenced Maxie?
