GENERAL HOSPITAL: Peter Kidnaps Louise and Escapes, Timing Puts a Wrecking Ball to Carly & Sonny’s Marriage
Friday’s episode of General Hospital brought it with some very juicy cliffhangers. One again, Peter August (Wes Ramsey) lives to see another day, escapes the cops, and goes on the run with his daughter, Louise in tow!
This all goes down after Peter is being transported to Pentonville for his crimes. But the van crashes, (when actually it was a set up – the tires were punctured). Mac (John J. York) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) are on the scene, and then they get shot at. Mac is severely injured, Dante not so much, but both are taken to GH.

Meanwhile, after Austin (Roger Howarth) and Maxie (Kirsten Storms) kiss, he is very suspicious of Maxie’s intent because it’s now all out in the open that he knows what happened the night Louise was born and given to Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) to take care of.
At the Q’s, Brook Lynn and Chase (Josh Swickard) are fighting their attraction to one another, then nearly giving in with a big kiss, when the phone rings for Chase. It’s Dante from the hospital telling him that Peter escaped. When Chase relates this to Brook Lynn, she freaks and hightails it to the nursery and wouldn’t you know .. Bailey AKA Louise is gone! The final shot of the episode is Peter with Louise telling her nothing will ever keep them separated again!
While all this is playing out, Sonny (Maurice Benard), decked in white tuxedo with new wedding bands for he and Carly (Laura Wright), is waiting for his wife to show up for his planned night with her at the Haunted Star. Sonny wants to show Carly how much he loves her. Kristina (Lexi Ainsworth) finds Sonny on the deck and is concerned for her dad, but reassures him that Carly will see the lengths he has gone too, in order to make a perfect evening for her. Sonny tells Kristina he just wants to make things right between them.
But thanks to Kristina’s interpretation of a call she places to Carly, she literally drives a wrecking ball into the marriage of her father and Carly. An upset Kristina tells Carly, who is on the bridge talking with Drew (Cameron. Mathison), trying to determine if she should meet Sonny at the Haunted Star, that Sonny is waiting for her, and will be heartbroken if she doesn’t show up and to just meet him half way, and listen to what he has to say. Carly says “She can’t do this right now.”
Drew, who is now the new sounding board for Carly, since Jason is “dead”, tells Carly that although she needs time and space from Sonny, and he understands she is justified in feeling that way, he believes this is all a cry for help from Sonny. If she goes to meet him, she’s not caving in to what Sonny wants, but throwing him a lifeline.

Next, Kristina heads back to the boat to be there for Sonny and tells him Carly’s not coming to meet him and that she is not willing to meet him half-way. Then, Kristina heads to Charlie’s where none other than Liesl (Kathleen Gati) overhears her on the phone telling someone that Sonny’s alone. Liesl next informs Nina (Cynthia Watros), who she had been talking with at the bar, and Nina decides to head to the Haunted Star. Later, Nina shows up and Sonny sees her.
At the hospital, Felicia (Kristina Wagner) tells Maxie (Kirsten Storms) that things don’t look good for Mac, and he is headed into surgery and Austin tells Maxie that Peter is out there somewhere as he has escaped being transported to prison.
My dog Cerberus really misses his favorite chew toy. Somebody needs to send Whiny Heiny back to Hell NOW. And send Nina down with him, as she no longer serves any useful purpose. If you tell her Nelle is down here, she’ll probably go voluntarily.
I wish someone would send them back on an express ticket!!!
Neither serves any purpose, and hell is where they both belong.
Well. You Devil, you—looks like ( as I knew would happen) Sonny/Mike and Nina are hooking up.
Fake Drew( his and Sam’s inaudible, weird voices so make me want to scream), and stomp-stomp Carly will also be a couple.
Oh, Carly—you’re accusing Sonny of loving both you and Nina—-well, you’ve been doing the same throughout your entire marriage to mini-me. There has been a third person hanging in the shadows—Jason. He will return. Then what? A threesome again? You, Drew and Jason. ‘Round and ’round we go. Same boring circle; same boring story; different boring guy.
I would think that at this point in their lives, these people would stop the hanky panky and act their age!! I guess there’s no shortage on viagra.
I’d like to see a scene where Peter had to first go to Target to spend about $1000 bucks on baby gear for the baby he’s about to kidnap. His kid. Does he have a car seat? Diapers? Wipes? Bottles? (I’m assuming he can’t breastfeed! Lol!) Crib? Stroller? Pacifier? Baby clothes?
Of course not. Unless he stole the entire Q nursery along with the baby?
This isn’t a cliffhanger; they’re fun. This is an extension of pain. Peter outlasted his welcome, and meager acting ability, years ago. This is frustration on the highest level– Peter wins again! In a pandemic, I don’t need more depression, thank you. The only bright spot: Dante is front & center at yet another PC Police/WSB screw-up. Given Peter’s litany of crimes and his association with Mr. Cassadine, the National Guard should have been there. Of course, Chase and Brook Lynn will be blamed. More boredom! Even so, it’s better than manic Sonny’s Cheshire Cat grin. Ugh!
If Sonny was on his meds and reational, he could finf Peter and bring justice for Maxi and Louise. Nina should stoo listening to everyone oushing to Sonny and if he wants her he will reach out. Caryl. Should get off her high horse and just listen long enough to Sonny and stop punishing him for being Mike, at least Mike had amnesia and didn’t sleep with Nina. Caryl had just as many feelings for Jasin as Mike had for Nina.
Who really can’t see through Victor and Esme?
BLQ & Chase were at Jax’s beach house – not the Q mansion.
Why weren’t Mac or Dante wearing bulletproof vests?
Best part of episode was closing cast credits that no longer had Wes Ramsey listed in contract section. Hopefully that means Heinrik’s reign of ridiculousness is nearing its completion.
I believe that 99% of the audience is sick to death of Peter August and want him dead and gone forever. Why do TPTB keep on insisting on having him win all the time? Wes Ramsey really ought to have grown a mustache to twirl as he now resembles a silent film villain ready to tie a woman to railroad tracks. He has way past his expiration date. Personally I wish they would do a “Murder on the Orient Express” ending for Peter, with everyone taking turns killing him once and for all – and getting away with it with no consequences for doing such a great service for the audience of GH!
Meanwhile, anything that breaks up Sonny and Carly, my least favorite couple, is a great thing. While Nina deserves so much better than that egotistical man-child brat Sonny, I prefer her to Carly 100%. Self-righteous disgusting Carly deserves to be alone. I loved Mike and Nina but not Sonny and Nina. I hope that makes sense!
AGREE!!!
I’m done. The Peter story line is maddening. Can’t stand the character nor stand the the actor. He isn’t a good actor, he’s on the show because he’s Laura Wright’s boyfriend.
Tired of the whole keeping Sonny and Carly apart too.
Stopping watching the show until the get rid of the Peter character and get Sonny and Carly back together.
Both of these storylines need to be wrapped up pronto. They are dragging out both of these storylines way too long.
I LOVED Friday’s episode! And I’m probably one of the few who think Wes Ramsey has been wonderful as Peter. I am sick to death of the character but not Wes. My hope is that since it is SWEEPS, someone plugs Peter for good and we get a good old-fashioned who-dunnit out of this. It’s been way too long since any show has been able to produce a good one in which the writers knew from the beginning who the murderer was; one that had a beginning, middle and end. Too often in recent years, any attempt at a who-dunnit was scrambled so many times with characters and plot points being twisted into ridiculous knots that the story was a snooze. This character has the whole town against him, especially now that he kidnapped Louise and is responsible for Mac getting shot. (Mac better live!) Lets see have it GH writers!!!!
The only problem with a “who-dunnit” murder mystery with Whiny Heiny….
…is that nobody would care. Unless Laura wanted to know their identity so she could give them the key to the city (or whatever symbol of honor they hand out for heroic acts in Port Charles)
I doubt Mac (as police commissioner) would have given a damn about Heiny’s “due process” even before he got shot, and even less so now. Mac has a history of not always being a “by the book” cop if the criminal’s vile enough. (see the Pierce Dorman story from 1997, for example).
Don’t need a mystery with Heiny…. just need him back in Hell!
The nine lives of Peter August—the most irritating, unfavorable, skin-crawling, stomach-churning, unattractive, repulsive derelict on TV. There’s nothing endearing about him. At least, I got a kick out of Faison, as demented as he was….
Get rid of this guy already—-Stop the farce. Stop the agony. Please!!
(Aside–I must say, I am enjoying the baby. So cute!! No crying…..so even-tempered—playing with her little blankie.)
I thought I saw Peter move after death—I did….I did….I saw Peter move after death….

Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric
With the highly-anticipated returns of Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) on this week’s June 24 episode of General Hospital, Steve Burton’s (Jason Morgan) upcoming return on July 13, which also serves as the ABC daytime drama’s 16,000 episode, things are about to fire on all cylinders in the story, as noted today by series star, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos).
On Father’s Day, the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning actor and mental health activist took to his Instagram and expressed in a video that he has some unbelievable upcoming senes with the aforementioned Burton and Hughes. Add to that Nazneen Contractor (Justine Turner) and Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing), where Benard gave credit where credit is due to the GH writing team, which is led by co-head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten..
In this video, Benard said, “I just want to get on here and say that I did some work with Steve Burton, Finola Hughes, Rick Hearst, Nazneen Contractor, and they’re all just fantastic. Truly fantastic. But, I want to say the writing was just exceptional. It truly was. It was exceptional. So, thankful for that kind of writing. I know writers don’t get the credit a lot, but I just want to say to the General Hospital writing team, keep rolling!”
GENERAL HOSPITAL PREVIEW
So now the question becomes, with a major tease like that, what is about to go down between Sonny, Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric? Will we finally get to the end of the line for Sidwell (Carlo Rota), as previously teased by the GH co-head writers? Will we learn what happened to Jason and Anna, fully? Will Justine and Sonny becomes closer or stop their liaisons? And what of Ric? Will he be true blue to his brother or double-cross him? There is a lot at stake as we move further into the summer and one that looks like it could be one of the more exciting ones in years!
FINOLA HUGHES CONFIRMED AMAZING SCENES WITH MAURICE BENARD
As a punctuation point to his video, Benard also shared this written message in the post: “I just did some wonderful scenes with Steve Burton, Rick Hearst, Finola Hughes and Nazneen Contractor and and unbelievable writing, freaking amazing scenes that you will see in the near future on General Hospital.” In fact, Finola Hughes jumped in the post comment thread and responded, “I loved our scenes so much xxx”
Fans will most likely see all the scenes Benard referred to later in July, since GH tapes approximately six weeks ahead of air.
So, are you excited to see what Maurice is talking about? Are you hyped for what’s to come on GH? Any clue on what you think will go down between the main characters on the soap with the returns of Anna Devane and Jason Morgan to the mix? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

SINCE LEAVING GENERAL HOSPITAL
Previously, since his departure from the ABC soap opera. Chad starred alongside Zach Mendez in the world premiere of of Yum Yum at Annapolis, a new play written by Bruce Reisman. Duell last appeared on General Hospital on the January 21, 2025 episode.
The part was recast with Rory Gibson who debuted as the new Michael in May of 2025 during the Nurses’ Ball episodes and who has remained in the role since that time.
In an interview earlier this year on The Able Show, Duell said on his decision to exit the soap opera, “I was blessed to be part of that (show) for as long as I have, but what happens sometimes is if you’re doing the same thing, especially in a creative field for such a long time, you can get a little burnt out in a way. It can make you a little depressed, so that’s kind of what happened. On top of that, I had other things going on in my life at the time. My father passed away recently and I just needed a reset. So, I stepped away. A lot of times you have to go through some stuff to really step into that next level. I needed to kind of feel uncomfortable.”
So, what type of musical genre will Chad’s new song be? Country? Pop? Rock? Dance/Club? Something else? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below, and if you are eager to hear the new single next week via the comment section below.
