In its place comes this reprehensible message from GH to its viewers: Spinelli may deserve love, but not from a hottie like Maxie; he needs someone on his level, “in his league,” someone like Winifred to make it believable. Winifred walks like Spinelli, talks like Spinelli, dresses like Spinelli, and even thinks and reacts like Spinelli; it is positively ludicrous. The character Winifred as currently written demonstrates nothing but contempt for the wonderful Spinelli character Bradford Anderson has painstakingly woven for the past two years. GH head writer Bob Guza calls it “a hoot,” but there is nothing funny about creative bankruptcy and this travesty.
Now we watch helplessly as GH slowly unravels what could have been the healthiest, most functional, respectful young couple on daytime in favor of the trite and obvious pairing of gorgeous girl with hot guy, and geek paired with geek. General Hospital, when you never fail to drop the ball, don’t bother wringing your hands as ratings plummet. Thank you GH for once again taking the easy way out, refusing to take a chance, and most importantly, thank you for so starkly reminding us, regardless of inner strength and inner beauty, it is the outward, matching levels of physical beauty and “hotness” that provide the most important ingredient in your love stories. In short, thanks for slapping the joy and romance out of Spixie, the best young love story in years, and stalling their story to the point where few even care anymore. It is astounding there are any advertisers or sponsors left who want to be associated with GH’s degrading, insulting philosophy that like should only be paired with like.

Ugh, I couldn't have said this better myself.
Before they began the spin-max pairing, I personally couldn't stand Maxie.
But, I have absolutely loved the way they took great care in crafting first their friendship, and then their blooming romance. Personally, I'm still hoping that Win (a character that I find a boring copy-cat of Spin)is just a small aside and that when Spin's legal woes are over, he and Maxie will pick it all back up.

Thank you so much for put it so eloquently I just wish that the studio heads and show producers/writters would take the time to read it and realize that if they want to keep their show they should listen to their fans!

Wow. I'm sorry but I stopped watching GH daily about seven years ago.
Yeah I'd tune in for the very rare Robin and Jason scenes but if GH wants me back as a full time viewer then they should explore Maxie and Johnny to their fullest.
