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….

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Serena Sets Her Sights on Michael; Jason’s Emotional Exit from the Mob
This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, new and old motivations come into play with dangerous consequences. According to the just released GH video spoilers video for the week of August 3-7, a bailiff calls out, “All rise!”
Now it’s Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) vs. Curtis (Donnell Turner), as the surgeon is suing the owner of the Savoy for assault that ruined is ability to operate. At the end of the day, which of these men has enough evidence against the other? Portia (Brook Kerr) is by Isaiah’s side, while Jordan (Tanisha Harper) is with Curtis.

Later, there is a small baggie containing three blue pills. Nina (Cynthia Watros) ask Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), “What did you do?” We also see Michael asking the same thing of Jacinda (Paige Herschell). Leading into this week, viewers know that Willow doesn’t want the former escort anywhere near her children, Amelia and Wiley. Is this how she stops her, or is Jacinda up to old tricks and wants to frame Willow? Remember when Jacindsa drugged Drew (Cameron Mathison)? Stay tuned.

Vincent Pastore of ‘Sopranos’ Fame and ‘General Hospital’s’ Maximus Giambetti Dies at 80
Vincent Pastore, best known for his memorable role as Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero on HBO’s The Sopranos has passed away.
The veteran actor was found dead on August 1st in his home in the Bronx, New York. Pastore was 80-years-old. The cause of death is yet to be determined.
As well as his role on The Sopranos, many soap fans will recall he played multiple smaller roles on the beloved One Life to Live from 1995 and 2004. However, in 2008, he landed the short-term role as Maximus Giambetti on General Hospital.
PASTORE WANTED TO BE ON GENERAL HOSPITAL
Maximus was the mobster father of Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) bodyguards: Max (Derk Cheetwood) and Milo (Drew Cheetwood)
According to Soap Opera Digest, Pastore told Soaps In Depth back in 2009, after appearing in a SOAPnet promotional campaign as a celebrity fan of General Hospital: “‘I’d love to be on the show. So they called up GH’s casting director (Mark Teschner) and Bobby (Robert Guza Jr. ex-head writer, GH) and they wrote me in!”
Pastore was a huge General Hospital fan from way back, who at one point told producers that he would watch the ABC soap opera while working in bars and nightclubs in the 70s and 80s.
Throughout his decades long career, Pastore appeared in films including: Goodfellas, Carlito’s Way and Men of Respect, The Jerky Boys: The Movie and the 1996 HBO TV movie Gotti.
In TV, besides The Sopranos, Pastore’s credits included: Law & Order, The Practice, Son of the Beach, Queens Supreme, Hawaii Five-0, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, plus the miniseries The Last Don II. Most recently, Vincent was a series regular on Gravesend and guest starred on Yellowjackets.
Pastore is survived by his daughter, Renee, son-in-law and granddaughter.
