Georgia's death in New Amsterdam season 1 was a result of the ambulance crash and brain bleeding injuries. Max Goodwin hallucinates Georgia's presence in season 2 as he deals with his grief. Although Georgia's character doesn't make it past season 2, her death deeply affects Max and lingers throughout the rest of the series.

Georgia's death in New Amsterdam season 1 was one of the most shocking moments of season 1 - and despite Lisa O'Hare's character leaving the show many years ago viewers still want to know why Dr. Goodwin's wife was killed off. When New Amsterdam first introduces the Goodwins in its pilot episode, Dr. Max Goodwin (Ryan Eggold) has only just taken over as medical director of the neglected state hospital, New Amsterdam, and hopes to turn things around. Max and his pregnant wife Georgia (Lisa O'Hare) struggle through many marital problems during the pregnancy but ultimately reconcile by the New Amsterdam season 1 finale.
