Storylines[]
On February 26-29, 2016; while Nathan was on pain meds after being shot, Maxie tells Nathan that she loves him and he replies by saying "I love you too, Claudette." When Maxie asked about Claudette, Nathan lied and told her that she was his French poodle and then later said she was his ex-girlfriend.
On March 14, 2016; Nathan revealed to Dante that Claudette was his wife the same day as the will reading of the late Helena Cassadine at Wyndemere Castle on Spoon Island which Maxie and Nathan do not attend because it would remind them of the incident a month earlier.

On April 4; he told Maxie that Claudette was his ex-wife, it was a marriage of convenience and that they had it annulled. He later revealed to his mother, Liesl Obrecht that he told Maxie about Claudette but didn't tell her everything.
On April 28, Obrecht revealed that if Nathan told Maxie the truth about what happened with Claudette, then Maxie would tell Lulu and if Lulu told Dante, then Nathan would end up in Pentonville Penitentiary like Johnny Zacchara. In May, while transporting fugitive Carlos Rivera who had been friends with Landon Dixon who was in revenge for the late Kyle Sloane and the late Helena Cassadine before his capture because he was under the orders of Mayor Lomax, the van crashes and Carlos escapes.
