Constanza Louise "Connie" Falconeri II is a fictional character on the ABC daytime soap operaGeneral Hospital. She is the daughter of Maxie Jones and Damian Spinelli. However, she is currently now in the custody of her father and is not allowed to see her mother for 6 months. She debuted when she was born onscreen on August 21, 2013. The truth about her biological parents were revealed to Dante and Lulu on September 30, 2013. Lante and Maxie and Damian Spinelli started a dirty custody battle over baby Connie/Georgie. Damian Spinelli won custody.
Dante Falconeri and Lulu Spencer-Falconeri found out that they couldn't have children so Maxie Jones offered to be their surrogate and doctors implanted her with Dante's sperm and Lulu's egg and she found out she was pregnant on Christmas Eve. On New Years Eve, the puppy from Olivia's hallucinations arrives at Maxie's door and while trying to get it to leave she tripped and then went to the hospital for testing where Dr. Britt Westbourne told her she had miscarried the baby. Later, Maxie ran into Spinelli on the rooftop and they left together to go home where they found Dante and Lulu waiting. She tried to tell them about the miscarriage but a drunken Spinelli interrupted her and said that if there was something wrong she would have told him. Maxie allowed them to believe that everything was okay but she was wondering how she was going to break the news to them. Afterwards, Spinelli and Maxie had sex. Maxie goes back to see Dr. Westbourne to ask if she would implant her with another one of Dante and Lulu's embryos, without them knowing. Dr. Westbourne said that she couldn't because Maxie was already pregnant. She determines that the baby is Spinelli's. She decides to pass her baby with Spinelli off as the Falconeri's baby. Things get complicated when Ellie Trout (Spinelli's girlfriend) finds out about the baby, but Maxie convinces her to keep quiet saying that if Spinelli finds out, Ellie would lose him for sure. On June 27th, it is revealed that the baby is a girl and that's when Maxie starts to bond with her little girl which is why she starts having second thoughts about giving her up. When Lulu asked Maxie for help with naming the baby she suggests the name Georgie (her deceased sister's name) but Lulu says that Maxie needs to save that name for her own daughter (even though she is her daughter).
Birth
Maxie's water breaks at her parents' wedding (Felicia and Mac Scorpio) and they go to the hospital where the baby starts having heart decelerations and Maxie thinks 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. But it turns out that her heart is fine and that the umbilical cord is wrapped around her neck. The baby isn't getting enough oxygen so they have to deliver her right away but 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. On August 21st, Maxie and Spinelli's daughter is born via emergency c-section. Lulu was in the operating room with her while Dante and Spinelli watched from the gallery. Maxie and Lulu cut the cord and the baby was taken away. She got to meet her "parents" and "grandparents", meanwhile her real mother starts hemorrhaging and Ellie is telling her real father the truth about her. Lulu suggests she and Dante name "their" daughter, Jacquelyn but Dante says it sounds too much like Spinelli (called the Jackal). Baby Connie's real mommy tries to breastfeed her but her real dad stops her and confronts her about keeping baby Connie'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 her Connie in memory of Dante's late cousin and Lulu's former boss, Connie Falconeri. On September 27, Connie was baptized as Constanza Louise Falconeri, with Maxie and Spinelli as her godparents.
Truth revealed and custody battle
After the baptism, Brad Cooper comes in and tells Dante and Lulu that Connie is really Maxie and Spinelli's daughter. 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 and then leave the church. 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, which will lead up to a custody battle in the future. The custody battle started on November 13th, 2013 with Alexis Davis representing Dante and Lulu, and Diane Miller representing Maxie and Spinelli.
New life with her father
On November 19th, 2013, The Falconeri's lose custody as well as her biological mother, Maxie. In the end, her biological father, Spinelli is granted parental rights and full custody of her and her mother, Maxie is denied visitation and can't go anywhere near her for a period of 6 months, but if after 6 months there have been no problems the possibility of visitation will be revisited.
