Maxine Johnson is Laura Winslow's best friend. A few times, she has convinced Laura to do things that her father Carl would never approve of, such as going to the Sizzle Club in skimpy outfits or get back at Eddie by inviting all his former girlfriends to his birthday party. She was played by Cherie Johnson.
Relationships[]
Maxine went through numerous relationships with guys before finding love with Waldo Faldo. After they apparently broke up in season 8, she had a hard time finding a good, stable boyfriend after Laura found love with Steve. She has dated Curtis Williams in season 8 and D'Andre in season 9. Laura was suspicious of D'Andre but Maxine wouldn't listen to her, leaving Maxine to learn the hard truth about D'Andre's drug trafficking when Eddie and Willie arrest both the guy and him. Maxine's feelings for Steve are much softer than that of Penny and Laura's own mainly due to them coming from similar backgrounds in having neglectful parents.
