Soon after, she found out that her husband supposedly had an affair with one of her clients from the salon, but in the end, it proved out that it wasn't true. Because she could not remain pregnant with Ashley, Maxine went out to perform surgery in order to have a baby but she had sex with the doctor and this is how she remained pregnant.

Maxine had a terrible death, being murdered in her own house by Richard Hillman after she was hit with a crowbar in her head.
