Ryan Paevey is a familiar face to ABC’s General Hospital fans since his time on the daytime television drama as Detective Nathan West. “Detective Sexy Pants” got his nickname from GH fans who fawned over the dark-haired, sweet-natured member of the PCPD.
Paevey joined GH’s cast in 2013, and left the Soap Opera in 2018. Sadly, Maxie Jones’s (Kirsten Storms) husband Nathan West was written off the daytime drama. The character is as killed in the line of duty. Later, Ryan Paevey starred in numerous Hallmark Channel productions.
Ryan Paevey’s Announcement Shocks GH Fans
According to GH news reports for his Hallmark Channel and General Hospital’s Ryan Paevey has made a public announcement. GH news and spoilers report that Paevey took to Instagram to make a shocking announcement. The GH and Hallmark actor revealed, “I am taking a step back from acting, something I’ve felt I’ve needed to do for a while now, and a decision proven to be absolutely necessary in the past few weeks.”
Moreover, Ryan went into more detail about his current status with the industry. He explained how recent times have changed his outlook on acting.
“I’ve had many years of smooth sailing, and am very lucky to be able to say that, but the waters have been much rougher the last year or so,” Paevey continued. “I know I am not unique in this; it seems nearly EVERYONE, in Hollywood or not, is going through troubled times to some degree. I’ve had bank accounts hacked, money embezzled, investments stolen….things that, while difficult, can be recovered from. But after all that, my mother was diagnosed with lung cancer. I left Los Angeles to be closer to her, and feel the need to devote more of my time, energy, and resources closer to home.”
Do you hope to see Ryan Paevey return to television?
As Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) is suffering through yet another tragic event when it comes to her love life, it’s easy to remember the iconic moments in Maxie’s past loves. One name that comes to mind is Nathan West (Ryan Paevey).
General Hospital news reports confirm GH and Hallmark star Ryan Paevey has sat down to discuss his role as Detective Nathan West, and the possibility of a return to General Hospital.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Paevey spoke with Soaps.com, shedding light on and GH rumors regarding his return as Nathan West. In a recent interview, Ryan admitted it was “above his pay-grade level,”when being asked about a potential GH return. He disclosed that it’s strictly up to the producers and that he has “no ownership over the character Nathan.”
General Hospital comings and goings suggest that Paevey’s statement does not draw the line for a change at resurrecting Nathan West, whether played by Paevey or a recast.
General Hospital spoilers hint that Paevey goes on to shed some positive light on the situation, giving fans hope for his return. Ryan admits, “If the timetables were right and the show wanted Nathan back right now, I want the fans to have what they want. I want to have what I want, too.”
Based on Paevey’s statement, GH rumors hint it’s safe to say he is open to returning to General Hospital as Maxie’s great love, Detective Nathan West, so long as the timing is in everyone’s favor.
Maxie could really use Nathan right about now…
How do you feel about Nathan West returning and saving Maxie Jones from this gut wrenching heart ache caused by Peter August?

It has yet to be determined whether or not his injury will be written into the script, or if it will be able to be covered up and ignored.

Fans who have been supporting Nathan (Ryan Paevey) and Maxie’s (Kirsten Storms) relationship from the very beginning might be biting their lips right now, nervous that the new romance won’t even stand a chance now that Spinelli is back. Some fans who have been on the Naxie bandwagon since Nathan arrived supported the couple because it was second best to Spixie. Others just remained hung up on Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) and Maxie’s love story and didn’t want to accept that Maxie would move on with anyone.
When Spinelli and Ellie (Emily Wilson) still lived in Port Charles, Maxie was the one professing her love to Spinelli. She told him after all they had been through that she had wanted him back, and he rejected her love and chose Ellie. The two moved to Portland Oregon so that Ellie could pursue her career at the local hospital lab. Maxie was left alone in her thoughts of being rejected, and alter finding out that she lost custody of her own daughter to Spinelli.
Now that Maxie has finally put her life back together with the help and support of those who love her, including Nathan West, she had the courage to move on romantically. Nathan and Maxie have a large adoring fan base, but is it as strong as the 8 year romance that had developed between Maxie “Maximista” and Damian Spinelli. Today they have an even stronger bond, their daughter Georgie (Harper Rose Barash).
Spinelli is back in Port Charles and since Christmas, he has had a lot to think about. While still with Ellie, she pointed out to Spinelli that he and Maxie look like they belong together, as a family, with their daughter. Spinelli has now confessed his feelings for his Maximista, and since Nathan and Maxie aren’t seeing eye to eye over Johnny Zacchara (Brandon Barash), will this be the gateway for a Spixie reunion? Maxie said it herself, no one knows her the way Spinelli knows her. and accepts her the way she is. Does Nathan have it in him to love Maxie as selflessly as Spinelli does?
Let us know what you think! Would you like to see Maxie move on from Spinelli with Detective Nathan West, or would you like to see Spinelli and Maxie be a family with their daughter Georgie?
Most fans just can’t get enough of Detective Sexypants, a name given to the character by adoring fans. Ryan Paevey has been a fabulous addition to the cast of General Hospital, and his character’s new romance with fan favorite Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) is front and center. Nathan and Maxie have become one of the most loveable couples on GH. “Naxie” as fans call them, finally got together this New Years.
If you want to see more of Ryan Paevey (Detective Nathan West), then tune in to ABC’s The View on Tuesday, February 17th. Paevey will co-host with the ladies at 11AM Eastern.
This has to be the most confusing story line mysteries in General Hospital history. Even with what was supposed to be the huge revelation of Fluke’s true identity LAST Friday, confusion still remains. After Dante woke up from being unconscious, and saw a rotten corpse in the chair he expected to see his father-in-law, Luke Spencer, fans were led to the conclusion that Fluke and Luke are one in the same.
Recent General Hospital spoilers entertain the idea that Nathan will go to his mother, Dr. Leisl Obrecht for answers, getting closer to the true identity of Fluke. As Chief of Staff, Dr. O has the free reign of General Hospital, taking Nathan into the lab. Obrecht lets her son in on a little secret as she tells him, “All the answers you seek about Luke Spencer will be found here.” Dr. Obrecht has been entangled with the Cassadine’s and the evil work of Faison for quite some time. She told Nathan that his father was Victor Cassadine, but we the audience know that isn’t the truth. Obrecht admitted that Nathan’s father is far worse than Victor.
Just how much does Dr. O know about Helena and Fluke? Will Nathan learn that Fluke’s identity is far more worse than everyone actually thought?
Twitter is an amazing tool that helps people reach out to one another. General Hospital executives aren’t shy about speaking out to fans using this form of social media. After the airing of today’s General Hospitla episode, GH Head Writer, Ron Carlivati sent out a tweet regarding the substance of tomorrow’s episode, Friday, August 15th. Can we say Cliffhanger Friday?
Is Mac going to survive? What is going to happen with Maxie and Lulu? Will Levi and his accomplice get away? What does Levi really want, and who is he working for? How deep does his operation actually run. Do you think Levi has any connection to fake Luke, aka Fluke? And Is Fluke connected to the evil Cassadine family that is about to be defrosted?
There are so many possibilities with this exciting story. Make sure you stay tuned to General Hospital to find out what direction all this will go.
Check out Carlivati’s tweet!
Fair warning: Tomorrow's episode of @GeneralHospital is going to be EPIC. #GH
Before marrying Levi, Maxie had just had a talk with Mac, and then with Lulu regarding Nathan having feelings for her. She started remebering special moments they shared since the moment they met.
Watch the music montage that was displayed on GH here!
Throughout General Hospital’s 51 years of existence, there have been many types of characters to leave their mark in Port Charles and in the hearts and minds of the fans. Whether they have left lasting impressions or simply passed on through, there are definitely certain characters that can never be forgotten.
It’s actually difficult to remember the last time a fan reaction to a new character has been this strong. No matter which form of social media you have stumbled upon, the fans are all in an uproar about one thing. From Instagram to Facebook, from Twitter to Tumblr, fans across the board seem to share the same opinion on these two words… Levi Dunkleman. Dunkleman is being shredded to pieces by GH fans of all ages.
Look what the cat dragged in… Maxie Jones went on her self discovery retreat after she lost custody of her baby girl, Georgie. Maxie was broken. She had just lost her best friends Dante and Lulu after agreeing to be their surrogate and lying by letting them believe the baby she was carrying was actually theirs. It turned out that the baby girl Maxie was supposed to be carrying for Dante and Lulu was actually a precious miracle she and Spinelli created on New Years Eve. Maxie didn’t want to hurt her friends and tell them she wasn’t pregnant with their child. She decided to be selfless and give up her own daughter to give to her best friend. When her plan unfolded, Maxie was lost. She lost her great love Spinelli to Ellie, Dante and Lulu, and the custody of Georgie to Spinelli. She was in a dark place and when she left she was vulnerable and convinced that she needed to become a better person. She met Levi and let him into her life. He has basically brainwashed her into thinking exactly the way he does. He has manipulated her out of being with her daughter among other ways of life that the Maxie we used to know would never be a part of.
Recently, Michael Fairman interviewed Zachary Garred on “Playing the Most Despised Man on General Hospital…Levi Dunkleman.” In the interview Fairman caught up with the Australian-American actor and found out his thoughts on playing such a hated character and what he thinks of the negative feedback. Garred disclosed that when he was cast to play the role of Levi Dunkleman, executive producer Frank Valentini warned him not to play the “cliche hippie angle because it’s already there.”
Zachary had some great insight on fan reactions to Levi Dunkleman, he told Michael Fairman, ” When I started acting I think I was like 15 or 16 years old when I had just my first audition. The response you generally want to get is that you just want people to have an opinion on the character, and it doesn’t matter whether it’s good or bad. If everyone liked the characters … you wouldn’t have some of the greatest movies in history!” Obviously Zachary Garred is portraying Levi Dunkleman EXACTLY as he should. We all love to hate this character which means the actor is going his job with passion, emotion, and putting his whole self into the role.
Garred also tells Michael Fairman that he was not told exactly what type of character he was going to be playing when he was cast in the role of Levi Dunkleman. He said that all Frank Valentini said to him was not to play cliche. He mentioned that Head Writer, Ron Carlivati gives him great material and that working opposite “the gorgeous genetically spectacular Nathan (Ryan Paevey),” really works for the character. Nathan is supposed to be this Knight in Shining Armor type while Levi is this underhanded manipulative snake. When these two are constantly being pinned against each other, it helps the Levi character’s true colors shine.
He also went on to joke about Maxie’s apartment being hashtag “shirt off apartment” and that his first scene was Levi coming out in a towel!
Zachary had great things to say about his co-star, Kirsten Storms (Maxie Jones). When Michael Fairman asked Garred how it is to work with Kirsten, Garred responded, “She is a gem! The thing about Kirsten is: for someone her age she has so much experience in this industry, and as actress so many mediums. I am very lucky to have been paired up with Kirsten and Ryan in story, and Ryan was fairly new to the show when I came on too. So we are so lucky because the fans love of Maxie, and Kirsten is such a beautiful, sweet, funny person. We all get along like a house on fire away from work. We hang out at Kirsten’s place with her and Brandon Barash and their daughter Harper as well. So to have the camaraderie as well off-screen it helps at work.”

We want to know what YOU think about Levi! Do you love to hate him, or just hate him? Regardless, it’s apparent that Zachary Garred is going is job due to the fact that fan reactions are pretty much unanimous. Will there ever be room for Levi in Port Charles or should he still be deported back to Australia?
