Maxine Finally Makes Her Relationship With William Public, But is He Ready For All This?

Forget Selena Gomez's latest romance gossip. One of The Lunch Hour's own has a steamy love interest and will soon be dominating the tabloids, and in this Daytime Divas highlight, fans hear it straight from the horse's mouth. That's right, Maxine has finally decided to let the her viewers, and the entire world, in on the fact that she's been secretly dating her doorman William and the sparks are definitely flying (sorry, Stedman.)

No, Maxine didn't wake up with an epiphany that today would be the day she'd confess her love for her doorman on national television. However, just seconds before showtime, William's mother Gloria (hey Patti LaBelle) confronted Maxine with her spot on hunch that she and her son are dating. Gloria isn't very fond of the fact that Maxine feels too high and mighty to openly date her son. Maxine then has to put out a second fire after the detective investigating Maxine's ex-husband's death overhears their conversation and catches Maxine in a bold face lie. Clearly, Maxine got tired of maintaining her tangled web of lies and set herself free with the truth. Welp, nothing like an open murder investigation and a prying mother to push Maxine in the right direction. Question is... Is William ready to be at the center of a media frenzy?
