Background[]
Dr. Andre Maddox is a psychiatrist who took over Anna Devane's case after Dr. Kevin Collins referred her to him in 2015. Although initially hesitant, Anna eventually became good friends with him.
In 2016, it was revealed that Andre used to be involved in the WSB, working for them as an asset. It was also revealed that he and Robert Scorpio know each other.
In 2017, it was revealed that Andre was involved in a conspiracy to replace Jason Morgan with his identical twin brother, Chief Andrew Cain, a conspiracy initiated by Helena Cassadine, Cesar Faison and his son, Henrik, who changed his name to Peter August. Since Andre had completed a program called "memory mapping", his mysterious backer (later revealed to be Faison) wanted him to use this procedure to map Jason's memories and implant them into Andrew's head, making Andrew believe he was Jason. He learned in 2015 that one of his test subjects turned up in Port Charles so he was sent to monitor him, so eventually Andre revealed that he was sent to monitor Andrew Cain. Andre turned to the man who came to Port Charles in 2014 and told him he was Andrew before turning to the man known as Patient 6 and told him he was Jason. Andre was then arrested for his crimes, but was released in early 2018 to help in memory mapping.
Since then, Andre offered to help Drew get his memories back but warned him about the risks. Andre also moved out of Port Charles and began working in Africa to help people while also becoming an independent contractor of sorts to help Anna.
Maddox is contacted by Dr. Kevin Collins to take over Anna Devane's case. However, Anna is hesitant because Andre is a stranger and clash during their first session. Anna ends up inviting him to Thanksgiving at Patrick house where he meets Patrick, Sam, Emma, and Danny. Shortly after he and Anna arrive there he is shocked to learn that Emma is Anna's granddaughter.
Days later he revealed to be Morgan's doctor to see if he is Bi-polar or not. He wants Morgan to take mood stabilizer and tells him that he needs to be monitor and that Bi-polar disorder does not go away but is treatable. Later Carly and Michael ask Dr. Maddox about Morgan but he cannot tell them since Morgan is an adult and did not sign off to do so, but he does tell them to keep open communication with Morgan.
He shows up on the pier while Anna is there. He asks Anna when she will be in therapy again since she has not been to another secession. He tells Anna that she has to deal with her guilt. Anna tells him that she doesn't need his services anymore. To which he replies if she doesn't come to therapy he will be forced to go to the police and tell them about Carlos. Anna gets angry about this were Maddox explains that the shooting is still tearing Anna up inside. Anna then replies but the man I thought I killed may not dead. Maddox asks Anna if there is some on PCPD that she doesn't trust. Anna tell him that she doesn't trust DA Paul Hornsby since he had the body the police found cremated and the reports show that the body was only shot twice and she shot Carlos four times. Later he tells Anna if "Paul is as dangerous as you say you need to be careful".
On January 6, he meets Jordan at Kelly's for a date but before he see Jordan Anna stops him and tells him she doing better and tries to introduce Jordan to him that when she realizes that he is at Kelly's for a date with Jordan. Then Anna tells Andre and Jordan to have fun as leaves to go to Robin and Patrick's house. Andre and Jordan talk and he talks about there date they had on New Year's. Later him and Jordan are discussing and planning a third date and they kiss outside of Kelly's.
On January 12, he gives therapy secession to Morgan for his bi-polar disorder.
Andre show up at the police station and gives Jordan a cup of coffee. Later on, he witnesses Jordan and Nathan interrogate Johnny Zacchara. After Jordan is done interrogating Johnny, her and Andre flirt with each other before he leaves to see a patient. The patient turns out to be Anna. It is also revealed that he and Robert Scorpio know each other. He and Anna talk about Carlos and his relationship to Sabrina, as a way to figure out where the two of them are.
On February 8, he and Anna run into each other at the Floating Rib. They discuss Anna's quest to find Carlos and how she is feeling alone now that Robin and Emma have left town. Later on, he cryptically says that "we all have trouble being alone sometimes". He meets Jordan for a date at the Floating Rib. Later, Jordan tells him that Curtis is her former brother-in-law and that they are not on good terms. Andre introduces himself to Curtis. Later on, when he continues his date with Jordon, he asks her if she will have a problem if Curtis does not leave town.
He show up at the PCPD and tells Jordan that she cannot put Morgan in a holding cell. Later on, he talks with Sonny and Carly about Morgan. Later on, he gets very angry with a nurse when he finds out Morgan is missing from his hospital room. Afterwards, he finds Morgan on the roof where he tries to stop him from committing suicide. He is able help stop him along with Sonny and Michael. The next day, Andre goes to the hospital chapel and runs into Anna. They talk about what happened on pier 54 during Alexis and Julian's wedding and if Anna thinks Paul is still going to hold something over Anna's head. Anna tells him that she's not sure but she knows that she has to get justice for Duke. Anna also says that she will probably go to jail. Andre says that their are a lot of people that would miss her.
In October 2017, Andre was revealed to be working with the people that kept a man with Jason Morgan's original face locked away in an institution, who soon escaped. On December 1, after getting arrested, he was forced to tell all: the man who everyone thought was Jason was really his long-lost twin, Andrew Cain and the man who escaped from the clinic was really Jason. It is later revealed that Andre developed a method of recording and transferring memories and used it to wipe Drew Cain's memories and replace them with his twin brother's, Jason Morgan. Andre was visited by Anna in mid-February 2018. Andre was arrested and incarcerated. He was released by the WSB in order to help in memory mapping. In May 2018, he promised Drew he would be willing to help him regain his memories if he finds the memory drive containing them.
On March 14, 2019, Andre visited Anna at the Metro Court and he learned that Anna was part of Dr. Arthur Cabot's original study of memory transfer between identical twins. He gives her and Finn everything he has on Cabot's study.
On August 21, Drew went to search for Andre in Ethiopia so he could get Andre to reverse Franco's memory transfer, which was done to him by Cabot under Shiloh's orders and caused Franco to believe that he is the Drew prior to 2012. However, on September 3, Andre was found unconscious and hospitalized at GH and Drew is nowhere to be seen.
On September 4, Epiphany revealed that Andre had been stabbed twice in the abdomen and nearly bled to death. Peter then walked into Andre's hospital room and started to tamper with his hospital equipment, giving him minor complications before sneaking out. Epiphany fixed Andre and he woke up, Andre told the story about his stabbing to Jordan, Jason, and Mac, telling them that upon return to PC, someone wanted to drive him to GH, but the driver (whom Andre thought was sent by Drew) stabbed him twice and ran off. Andre then said he had to drive himself to GH while bleeding out before noting that Drew never made it to Afghanistan.
On October 14, Andre was revealed to have recovered from his stab wounds and met with Peter August at Charlie's Pub and they discussed if Andre heard from Anna and they also discussed what would happen when Andre performs the memory mapping procedure on Franco to restore his memories. Eventually, after Peter left, Jason met with Andre and asked if he recognized a guy named Bryce Henderson and Andre thought he looked vaguely familiar, so Jason showed him another picture of Bryce with a beard and Andre recognized him as the man who stabbed him.
On November 28, Franco met with Andre at GH who examined him and Franco said it looked like mad science. Andre promised Franco that he will not go through with the procedure without his consent and that he could change his mind at anytime. Franco and Andre agreed that the procedure will be done tomorrow.
Andre later went to Anna's house and revealed that Franco decided to have the procedure reversed after all, much to Peter's dismay.
On December 9, Andre prepped Franco for the memory reversal procedure and presented a DNR because Franco did not want to be on life support if anything happened. After Andre administered the sedative, he began the procedure to remove the Drew memories but a man (David Black) dressed in scrubs came in with a gun. David was going to shoot Andre but before he could, Andre fought him in self-defense but was knocked out. David was going to eliminate Franco as well but Peter ended up coming into the room and he shot David. Anna found Andre and woke him up as Elizabeth was watching over Franco. Peter claimed that something didn't sit right with David, the man who was trying to kill Andre so he shot him in their defense. Eventually, the procedure was complete and Franco was moved to recovery.
On December 16, Andre updated Elizabeth and Cameron on Franco's condition and said that he has every reason to believe he will wake up but warned them that Franco had signed a DNR as to not be stuck on life support if anything went wrong. Andre later learned that David, the man who tried to kill him and Franco, did not make it. Eventually, Andre told Elizabeth and Cameron that Franco is closer to regaining consciousness. After Andre left the room, Franco woke up and it was revealed that the procedure had worked and that he is back to normal. Andre later came back and checked on Franco's vitals and told Franco to allow the memories to come back on their own. Andre later updated Finn, Anna and Peter that Franco's awake and that he is back to being "Franco" and is not "Drew" anymore.
On January 8, 2021, Nurse Chanel is looking at a chart when Peter August comes up to her at the front desk and asks her to find Dr. Andre Maddox.
On March 4, 2022, Anna mentions going to look for Andre as Victor Cassadine is interested in Drew's memories.
