Background[]
In late 2012, after Dante and Lulu found out that she couldn't carry to a baby to term, Maxie Jones offered to be their surrogate. Lulu was skeptical at first but eventually warmed up to the idea and she and Dante accepted Maxie's offer. The doctors implanted Maxie with one of their fertilized embryos and they found out she was pregnant on Christmas Eve. On New Years Eve, Maxie tripped over a dog and miscarried Dante and Lulu's baby but didn't tell anyone. She ended up sleeping with Spinelli later that night and got pregnant with his baby.
On January 18, 2013, when Maxie found out that she was pregnant again, she decided to pass the baby off as the Falconeri's and also decided not to tell Spinelli.
Maxie feels baby Georgie move for the first time on April 26. Maxie really started to bond with the baby once she found out it was a girl on June 27. On July 11, Maxie suggested that Lulu name the baby Georgie after her late sister, Georgie Jones, but Lulu said that she needed to save that name for her own daughter.
On July 16, Maxie had a childbirth class but both Dante and Lulu were not able to be there so the baby's biological father, Damian Spinelli stepped in. In August, right after Georgie was born, Ellie revealed to Spinelli that he was her biological father. He later confronts Maxie and they mutually decide to let the Falconeri's raise their child. The truth is revealed to Dante and Lulu on September 30.
In November 2013, Lante and Spixie started a nasty custody battle over baby Georgie. Spinelli ends up winning full custody and her mother, Maxie is not allowed to see her for a period of six months. On December 13-16, Georgie gets to see her mom before she and her father leave Port Charles.
On June 20, 2014, Maxie's case is revisited; however, she is denied custody and visitation rights for another six months. It is later revealed that her then boyfriend, Peter Harrell, Jr. (aka Levi), sabotaged the court case by telling the judge that Det. Nathan West lied.
In October, Judge Walters tells Maxie that she can't date and/or be seen with Nathan West if she wants to get visitation with her daughter at her custody hearing in December. On December 16, Maxie is denied custody and visitation rights again, for another six months because the judge found out that she saw Nathan. On December 22, thanks to Nathan and his mother, Dr. Liesl Obrecht, Judge Walters reversed his ruling and Maxie now has visitation rights.
Her father's former life partner, Ellie Trout is like a second mother to her.
On January 20, 2015, it was revealed that Maxie and Spinelli have shared custody of Georgie, even though she lives with her father and Ellie in Portland.
Through her mothers marriage, she gained the now late, Det. Nathan West as a stepfather.
Storylines[]
Georgie was born onscreen August 21, 2013 via an emergency C-section to Dante and Lulu Falconeri. During her parents wedding reception, Maxie water breaks so Maxie, Lulu and her parents go to the hospital, where they are joined by Dante, who called the perspective "grandparents". When Maxie starts having really painful contraction she asks for Spinelli saying he should be here, which confuses Dante and Lulu so she tells them she must be confused because she's tired.
As Maxie continues to labor, the baby starts having heart decelerations and Maxie thinks that she gave the baby a bad heart but Lulu reassures her that her heart condition has nothing do with the baby because she is not biologically hers. It turns out that her heart is fine but the umbilical cord is wrapped around her neck so the doctor is going to monitor the baby closely. Later on, Spinelli shows up to support Maxie during her labor. Soon after, the monitors start going off and it is revealed that the baby isn't getting enough oxygen so they have to deliver her right away via an emergency C-section. Maxie says she needs to tell Spinelli something about the baby before they go, but the doctor said they can't wait so she doesn't get the chance to tell him. They perform an emergency C-section with Lulu in the operating room while Dante and Spinelli watch from the gallery. When the baby is born she lets out a loud and strong cry. Lulu holds Maxie's hand while she (Lulu) cuts the cord and the baby is taken away.
Afterwards, she gets to meet her "parents" and "grandparents", while her biological mother, Maxie starts hemorrhaging but the bleeding is stopped and Maxie lives. Meanwhile, Ellie Trout is telling her biological father, Spinelli the truth about her parentage. Later on, when Lulu suggests she and Dante name "their" daughter, Jacquelyn, Dante says it sounds too much like Spinelli (called the Jackal). Maxie tries to breastfeed the baby but Spinelli stops her and confronts her about keeping the baby's real parents a secret. When Dante and Lulu find out about what Maxie tried to do they threaten to ban her from "their" daughter's life but Maxie says they can't and in the end they don't. Dante and Lulu decided to name the baby, Connie in memory of Dante's late cousin and Lulu's former boss, Connie Falconeri. Dante and Lulu take her home and have a rough couple of nights because "Connie" wants her biological mom, Maxie but they eventually do calm her down.
On September 27, she was baptized as Constanza Louise Falconeri, with Maxie and Spinelli as her godparents. After the baptism, Brad Cooper comes in and tells Dante and Lulu that "Connie" is really Maxie and Spinelli's daughter. Before things go any further, Lulu has Olivia take "Connie" home. Afterwards, Maxie and Spinelli deny that Brad's statement is true and Lulu believes them but Dante doesn't. He starts to interrogate them and Lulu finally figures out (by remembering that Maxie has repeatedly tried telling her something about the baby and then Maxie bonding with the unborn baby) that what Brad said is true. Dante and Lulu have a heated confrontation with Maxie and Spinelli ending with Lulu slapping Maxie and then leaving the church with Dante.
Back at the loft Lulu tells Dante that regardless of the truth she wants to fight to keep "Connie" and at the same time Maxie and Spinelli decide that they want their daughter back. Dante and Lulu calls and ask Spinelli and Maxie to come over so they can talk about "Connie", (Spixie thought that Lante were going to give them back their baby) when they get there they find out that Dante and Lulu had invited them over to sign adoption papers but Spinelli and Maxie tell them that they won't because they want "Connie" but Lulu says she will give them the baby over her dead body, Spixie is floored so Maxie throws the adoption papers on the table and they leave and thus begins a very nasty custody battle. The custody battle started on November 13, 2013 with Alexis Davis representing Dante and Lulu, and Diane Miller representing Spinelli and Maxie.
The custody battle gets very heated but in the end, on November 19, 2013, the Falconeri's lose custody, and the judge awards full custody and parental rights to her biological father, Spinelli. Her biological mother, Maxie is deemed unfit and therefore is denied visitation and is not allowed near "Connie" for a period of 6 months, at which point the possibility of visitation can be revisited. Spinelli and "Connie" moved in with his friend, Sam Morgan and her son, Danny Morgan, so he could keep to the terms of the judge's ruling. Sam helped Spinelli adjust to taking caring of "Connie" and Spinelli was thrilled that "Connie" and Danny were getting along and playing well together. Initially Maxie had a hard time staying away from her daughter, and even tried to see "Connie", but Spinelli refused to let her, out of fear that if they got caught, they would both lose custody of their daughter. Devastated over not being able to see her daughter, Maxie attempted suicide with some pills, but was stopped by her thought to be dead cousin, Robin Scorpio-Drake, who convinced her that she was strong enough to withstand the next six months and be better for her daughter.
Shortly after, Spinelli's girlfriend, Ellie received a job offer from a hospital in Portland, Oregon. They were both adamantly against taking the job because neither wanted to take "Connie" that far away from Maxie, but Maxie encouraged Ellie to take the job and told Spinelli that she wanted him and the baby to move to Portland with Ellie. Maxie explained that she wanted them to make the move, because it would be easier to stick to the judge's ruling if her daughter was 3,000 miles away and not right across town. Ellie and Spinelli eventually decide to make the move to Portland and take "Connie" with them. On December 13-16, Spinelli takes the baby to see Maxie before they leave and they decide to rename their daughter Georgie, after Maxie's late sister and Spinelli's friend, Georgie Jones.
On May 20, Georgie is seen with her father and Ellie at their home in Portland, when Carly Jacks and Franco visit, because they need Spinelli's help reconstructing a recording on the late A.J. Quartermaine's phone. Georgie is in Ellie's arm the whole time but Franco does ask to hold to which Ellie says no. It is also revealed that since moving to Portland Georgie has her dad at home taking care of her. On December 24, Georgie reunites with her mother for Christmas. Her mom brings her a lot of cute clothes and presents from Dante and Lulu and Mac and Felicia. She also gets to meet Nathan over the phone. On December 29, Georgie gets to meet Nathan in person.
In late January, Maxie tells Johnny that Georgie will be coming to visit soon and that she is really excited. In early February, Nathan and Maxie are seen setting up Georgie's crib. On February 13 (14th on the show), Georgie returns to Port Charles. A couple of days later, Georgie finally meets Rocco and they have a playdate. In March, Georgie spends time with her grandparents, Mac and Felicia. On March 10, she ends in the ER with a fever. Her parents rush to be with her and find out from Lucas that she has the flu. Lucas wants to keep her over night so Maxie and Spinelli stay with her. While in the ER, the three of them have a very sweet family moment that Nathan walks in on. The next day, Georgie is seen in a hospital with room with her mom and aunt Lulu. Later on, Sam comes by and mentions how much she looks like her mom. Then Nathan stops by to check on her and to talk to Maxie.
On March 18, Georgie is at home sleeping and recovering well. On March 20, Georgie and her mom run into Dante at Kelly's, where Maxie finds out that Spinelli and Nathan are having a duel to see who gets to be with her. Maxie is so upset that she leaves Georgie with Dante and rushes off to stop it. On April 10, Georgie is seen attempting to be feed by her mother, while her father is putting kid friendly shows on the DVR. They then see the news report about Avery and Spinelli promises Maxie that nothing like that will ever happen to Georgie. Then, Georgie listens to her parents argue about who deflects more and talk about the elephant in the room (Mr. Snoozy)--them getting back together. On April 14, Georgie gets a visit from Ellie. Her parents do get back together but eventually break up because they are both in love with different people. On July 7, Maxie says that she's on her way to Portland to visit Georgie.
In December, Georgie returns to Port Charles with her father and Ellie to visit her mother for the holidays.
On Halloween 2016, Maxie showed Lulu pictures of Georgie dressed up as Agent Peggy Carter.
In January, Georgie attended her mom and Nathan's wedding and acted as co-flower girl along with Emma. Georgie is very happy to see her mommy as she missed her very much.
On November 29, Nathan and Maxie tell Georgie (Spinelli and Ellie) over FaceTime that she's going to be a big sister. They revealed that Georgie was a little confused as she thought her mom and dad were having a baby together and she doesn't understand how she and her new sibling can have the same mommy but not the same daddy. But between the four of them they managed to explain the situation.
On March 29, Georgie and Spinelli visit Maxie.
Her little brother, James was born in May of 2018.
On June 12, Georgie accompanies her father the Port Charles to see her mother and meet her baby brother.
In January of 2020, Georgie movies back to Port Charles with her father and Ellie. They initially live in Queens Point. However in 2021, Ellie breaks up with Spinelli and moves back to Portland. She remains close to Georgie and Georgie and her father spend Christmas in Portland with Ellie in 2022.
Georgie now lives with her mother and siblings full-time. She is often seen fighting with her little brother James.
On Halloween 2023, Georgie is seen at the Cassadine House with her friends, Danny, Charlotte and Jake. The group plans to head out to the Harbor Vista neighborhood to trick-or-treat on their own. Valentin drives them to the neighborhood and gives them strict instructions before sending them off. The group walks around but it's already late, so many houses were out of candy and started giving out fruit or money instead. Charlotte sneaks away from the group and changes her costume. Meanwhile, Jake, Danny and Georgie realize she is missing.
Jake thinks he sees Charlotte in her new costume and sends Danny and Georgie off in the other direction while he attempts to follow her. Danny and Georgie head back to Valentin and tell him what's going on. Danny calls Jake and Georgie texts Charlotte but neither gets an answer. Charlotte shows up at Anna's apartment and rummages through her files. Anna returns home and senses that someone is inside. She enters the apartment, mistakes Charlotte's flashlight for a gun and shoots. Valentin leaves Danny and Georgie to go and look for Charlotte. He tells Danny to call his mom to pick them up. Danny was going to call a ride share for him and Georgie, but Sam told him to stay put and she would come to pick them up. Sam and Danny drop Georgie off at home. Maxie tells Sasha that she and Spinelli had to tell Georgie about Charlotte. Georgie was in shock and Spinelli was going to get her into therapy with the other kids.Health and Vitals[]
