Wes Ramsey Returns to GH: “Well, Well, Well … Let the Games Commence”

Courtesy/ABC

Not only did Kirsten Storms (Maxie) make her return on Monday’s episode of General Hospital, so too did Wes Ramsey as the evil Peter August.

In story, after Maxie came to Nixon Falls to see Nina, (Cynthia Watros) and was whisked out of the Tan-O before she stumbled upon Sonny aka “Mike” (Maurice Benard), viewers see someone hiding in the shadows who is obviously following her.  Cue the reveal of a very much alive and well, Peter August, who Finn (Michael Easton) and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) thought they disposed of, body and all, months ago.

But as GH fans suspected, Peter would pop up again and he did.

In an Instagram post following the reveal, Wes Ramsey shared: “Well, well, well…let the games… commence. 😈 #GH #peteraugust”

As for Kirsten Storms, this was her first on-screen episode back following being away from the show following brain surgery.

So, what did you think of the return of Peter August? What will happen next? Comment below.

While I really like Wes Ramsey and I knew he would be coming back I really hope this a short (until November sweeps) stay and they kill Peter off once and for all (how about a Murder on the Orient Express plot, where they all take turns killing him?). I know TPTB like Wes, so do I, but enough is enough – Peter has past his expiration date. Villains need to have a shelf life and then new villains need to come on. Of course on GH where the villains are the leads (Sonny, Carly and Jason) I can understand why TPTB are confused by this. I miss the days when soaps cared about and favored the heroes and heroines rather than the despicable characters that have taken over the lead roles – it is certainly one of the reasons for the decline of our beloved soaps.

One last story for Peter for a few more months and then kill him off once and for all and forever!

I cannot help but wonder why we can’t get Sean Kanan to reprise the role of AJ Quartermaine again? Surely Dan O’Connor and Chris Van Etten can do miles better with the role than Ron Carlivati ever did.

For soap characters (not counting those whose portayers passed IRL) there’s dead and then there’s dead-dead. AJ Quartermaine falls into the dead-dead category, meaning he died multiple times on screen, was already resurrected with a barely plausible RFD plot and the character was seen being escorted into the light by Emily.

Kanan was great in the role, and sadly didn’t get to do any scenes with Burton on AJ’s final run.

There’s a lot going in Monica’s house, but it’s extremely unlikely AJ will ever be resurrected again.

Never say never … Robert and Anna appeared as ghosts to Robin after their demises … then both turned up alive and well.

And let’s not forget that Edward Quartermaine had entire conversations with Lila as a ghost for months, before he turned up on an island somewhere.

Escorted into the light… yeah, we all know that’s not the direction AJ went!

I’d actually be willing to let AJ out of Hell if he would clear the record of who actually killed him the last time. He was actually recovering in the hospital from that single gunshot wound. Then suddenly goes into a cardiac arrest… as if somebody shot something into his IV. Be it a drug, or an air bubble, or whatever.

AJ already told me who it was, but I’ll let y’all guess for yourselves. Shouldn’t be that difficult, if you look at the circumstances that landed him in that hospital bed.

Maybe making Austin the Quartermaine bad sheep, who is a doctor on what is after all General HOSPITAL will begin a shift away from the way too long in the tooth preoccupation with the mob. I mean, who among us live with mobsters compared with who among as live (or can’t live) without doctors, nurses etc.? Especially with COVID 19 around. (GH did so much for AIDS when it came about but the writers seem deaf to COVID. Maybe if Steve Burton is away for a long time they’ll get on the COVID bandwagon…) Anyway, let’s see more Austin who are you Quartermaine. He can outperform Wes as the mercurial bad guy with one eye closed. Heck, he wrote the book on bad guys.

Please let’s hope Peter August doesn’t make it to Peter September.

That’s clever whynot. Sadly, he’s been around for too many Augusts already.

This is what happens when you put Poppy Bush in charge of Underworld Security. Goddamn it, I’m tired of all these fools escaping from Hell. Sorry about that, mortals!!

sorry, but this was no big surprise, for one the actor never gave an official goodbye anywhere and two, anyone who pays attention to the shows closing credits on Fridays (I do) would see his name week after week, so no big surprise here, and with Drew all of the sudden back from the dead, well to many variable. Strange that Drew turned up on screen and no one has mentioned him on screen, yet Hayden name you here almost everyday and nothing yet about Rebecca returning , I sure hope she’s coming back because Peter, and drew and who knows who else so far have.been less interesting to see back then it would be to see Hayden.

Funny thing is, I was more surprised by Kristen Storm’s appearance as Maxie so soon after surgery than I was Wes’ re-appearance as Peter. We all knew that one was coming. Can’t wait to see what happens next!

Who asked for this? Peter is a terrible character and it was a relief when we thought he was dead. But basically they needed to put the story on pause for a few months while Kirsten was away, and instead of having Peter disappear they “killed” him off and had a highly skilled doctor and decades-long nurse CONFIRM his death. How are they going to explain this idiotic writing?

The only good thing that can come from his return is a proper wrap-up to this storyline – namely, a who-dun-it murder that encompasses a majority of the cast. IMO it would be great if Heather Webber escapes from the asylum and kills Peter out of revenge for him killing Franco. Also, I’d really like to see Brooklyn finally tell Valentin the truth about Bailey/Louise because it’s heartbreaking watching him get attached to a baby that isn’t his.

I’m with you. I’d like to see Heather or Dr. Obrecht take Heinrik out.

Carrie,
Just have a little more patience. We know it will happen, we just don’t know by whose hand. Iam betting on Sonny for some reason.

On that note….. Did Dr. Oooblech ever MEET Psycho Heather??

It would seem like Nina is about to clue Liesel in on Heiny’s escape from Hell, and the fact that he’s currently making threats against her grandson. But of course, if Frau Ooblech were to make a visible move against Heiny, he would act on those threats, so that might keep her from acting.

Now on the other horn, if she was to pass this news on to Heather, who must be aware by now that Heiny is the one who killed her “beloved son”, Frodd, then Heather could escape from the nuthouse, send Heiny back to Hell, and be back in her padded cell before anybody realizes she’s missing. Hell knows she’s done it before.

The fact that Scotty Baldwin is now involved with Olbrecht may be an added incentive to convince Heather to take action.

Somebody send Heiny back to Hell already. Cerberus misses his favorite chew toy.

Jimmy,
You are so right. Heather killing off Peter, tit for tat I say. I also hope Peter has a good explanation of how he escaped that freezer and yes, every time I see Valentin with that baby, it’s heart breaking. Iam only glad we didn’t have to see his bad seed daughter Charlotte trying to do something to Papa’s new baby.

Ugh!

“Let the games commence”? You mean “make the torture continue!” It was SO nice not seeing that scrunched up face on my screen. Oh well, back to fast-forwarding.

I’m more concerned with the return of Kristen Storms. It seems like she just took leave. After brain surgery, I would have thought she would require more time off.
I hope she’s recovered and ready to work? I’m concerned she returned to soon? Thoughts to Kristen Storms. Stay well. I’m happy she’s back but I hope she’s well enough.

I hope she’s well enough too.

Jeremy and Carrie… Kristen looks good but like you am worried about her returning too soon as well.

Wes Ramsey is a great Faison 2.0. “Peter August” was boring but Henrick is something else. Wes Ramsey plays bad soooooo good. Great to see K. Storms back and healthy. Looks great. Feisty Maxie is back.

Love Wes Ramsey!!!

O.K Satan,
Who the HELL left the gates open,but I guess a snake like this one could slither out of anywhere. Hope you can get him back where he belongs.

Peter’s going to blackmail Nina, if she doesn’t kill him first.

Nina will become my favorite GH character ever if she just shoots and kills the s-o-b and saves us months of whispering, mustache twirling and unnecessary character propping.

I love Wes Ramsey. He’s a great addition To the show. Brings alot to the table with his acting. So happy he’s back on air!!

Iam afraid Leisel’s plan will backfire. She doesn’t know that Peter has already spotted Maxi in Nixon Falls and not off on some island. I think that Sept.17th will find everyone back in PC for one big explosion, with the wedding right in the middle.
Anyone get as sick as I did today seeing how close Carly and Jason were to our worst nightmare?

“Jarly” – Gag me with a spoon!!! I never thought I’d want Sonny back in PC, but I am on Carly Overload!!! I have never enjoyed LW as Carly, but my dislike has taken on gigantic proportions and morphed into pure hatred!!!

Yes, I hope Sonny fixes himself up some before he returns to P.C, gets out the old black shinola or whatever he uses on his hair and cleans up the grundgy beard, letting those dimples shine through. As W.R says above “let the games commence”. Who will be the most surprised?

What games? Peter is supposed to make me shake in my stilettos in fear!! Right? Not!!
Such bad acting, I’m speechless—-something which rarely happens.
Please let this guy go once and for all. The character contributes nothing but irritation.
I am not familiar with this actor—-never heard of him before GH—-Was he always this uninspiring? Maybe not. But, as Peter August? —-he does not make either the cut or the “case”—-he makes my skin crawl.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Brook Lynn and Chase Have Their Bachelor and Bachelorette Parties

On General Hospital, Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Chase (Josh Swickard) both were treated to Bachelorette and Bachelor parties to shake off any of those pre-wedding jitters. At The Savoy, the ladies have a touching and fun time with Brook Lynn.

The bride-to-be gives a speech to thank everyone for coming, while Lois lets everyone know to try the signature cocktail the “Brooklynn Chaser”, which gets everybody eventually and mostly, drunk.

When Tracy (Jane Elliot) questions Lois (Rena Sofer) as to why there is no music for the party, Lois realizes she forgot, and somehow, who does she call to the rescue? Spinelli (Bradford Anderson)! Saving the day, he winds up playing some tunes and later gets on the dance floor to ‘shake it off’ with the gals.

Lois makes a speech as the mother of the bride, and shares how proud she is of the woman Brook Lynn has become. Wedding games begin, including one of “hot potato” with a wedding bouquet.

When it’s time for the “Silly Poses” section of the party, Spinelli has now morphed from DJ to staff photographer taking memorable photos of the ladies to remember the evening by.

The best part of the event, was when Brook Lynn tries to get her grandmother Tracy out on the dance floor, which, at first, she refuses. After several of the guests bust a move, a tipsy Tracy joins the dance party after Joss mentions that if her grandmother Bobbie was here, she would dance. Tracy says “she agrees” and begins to cut a rug on the floor, much to the delight of the other women.

In the final moments, a tipsy Joss and Kristina (Kate Mansi) have a confrontation about Sonny, and Joss lets Kristina in more on Sonny’s behavior, which looks to have clued in Kristina a bit more as to how something is way off about her dad.

Across town at the Hatchett Bar, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and the men with the exception of Anna (Finola Hughes) and Jordan (Tanisha Harper), all attend Chase’s Bachelor Party where throwing hatchets into a dart board for supremacy is the order of the day. Drew (Cameron Mathison) and Ned (Wally Kurth) get into some words over ELQ, while Dante makes a toast to his police partner, Chase.

Photo: ABC

Suddenly Dex (Evan Hofer) shows up. Chase thanks Dex for coming, but Dex gets some dirty looks from other cops on the force. Dante gives Chase his present, which is a signed baseball by the Boston Red Sox.

Ned (Wally Kurth) makes a speech that although no one is good enough for his daughter, Brook Lynn, Chase has come closer than anyone has, so welcome to the family. Running in at the end is Blaze (Jacqueline Grace Lopez), who just left Brook Lynn’s party, and she toasts her singing partner, Chase, and to the great man that he is.

Cameron Mathison Previews New Game Show ‘Beat The Bridge’ (Promo)

As previously reported, Cameron Mathison (Drew, General Hospital) will be seen doing double duty this summer when he premieres in June as the host of Game Show Network’s Beat The Bridge.

Now, while Cameron will be the host with the most, that doesn’t mean he will stop playing GH’s Drew.  In fact, Mathison taped the game show in 2023, so it will now air for the first time in 2024.

Taking to his Instagram this week, Cameron shared his enthusiasm and some new hosting snaps, sharing, “Our newest game show host reporting for duty😎 Head over to the Game Show Network YouTube channel for your first look at the show and don’t miss Beat The Bridge premiering this June! I can’t wait for you guys to see this!”

In Beat The Bridge, an enormous interactive bridge dares players to cross by stepping on the right answers to challenging trivia questions. As they play, each steps forward and puts money in their team’s bank, with bonus money for each successful crossing. Here’s the catch: the team gets to keep the money only if it can “beat the bridge” by returning one of its players back across before time expires.

Meanwhile, on GH, Drew and Nina (Cynthia Watros) recently had hate-sex. Do you think its a one-time deal? Where will Drew’s story take him next under new head writers, Patrick Mulcahey and Elizabeth Korte? Stay tuned.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Nina Confronts Ava for Sabotaging Her Relationship With Sonny and Signs the Divorce Papers

Looks like Nina (Cynthia Watros) and Ava (Maura West) are back to be each other’s sworn enemy number one. By the end of the Monday, April 22nd episode of General Hospital, the women know where they stand with each other after Nina goes in on Ava accusing her of wanting Sonny (Maurice Benard) all to herself, while her marriage has been on the rocks.

In story, at Nina’s office, Ava shows up to see Nina and says she is sorry about what happened with Sonny and that he reacted the way he did, acknowledging that is was over the top, even for Sonny. Ava says she’ll smooth things over, but Nina says she now understands how manipulative and transparent Ava really is.

Given their horrible history, Nina goes in on Ava and how she should never have trusted her. Nina wants to know how long has Ava had this agenda dating all the way back to telling Nina to turn Carly (Laura Wright) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) into the SEC. Ava says she never told her do to that, but Nina wants to know how long Ava has been playing her for a fool.

Ava says she moved in with Sonny to keep Avery safe and she wants to be on good terms with Avery’s father, Sonny. Nina thinks she likes being in Sonny’s inner circle. Ava tells Nina if she goes to him about her advising Nina to call the SEC on Carly and Drew, it won’t work.  Sonny still considers Nina a traitor and he will think she’s lying because she’s so desperate to win him back. Ava says if Nina would stop blaming everyone else that maybe Sonny would respect her.  Nina says “like he does you?” Ava says Sonny not only respects her, but he also counts on her.

From there, Ava launches into why she and Sonny understand each other, after all, Sonny is a powerful, turbulent, and sometimes violent man. She goes so far to say if Nina wanted someone to just sit by the fire with and play with their grandchildren, she’s got the wrong guy.  Ava then talks about Mike from Nixon Falls (Sonny with amnesia) and how Sonny hid the darkest parts of himself from Nina back then, whereas with Ava they are the same similar creatures, so he doesn’t have to hide anything.

Nina wants to know just what Ava wants with Sonny? What is her end game? Ava responds that they understand each other, in ways she can’t with Sonny. Nina tells Ava she can go ahead and have it all and signs Sonny’s divorce papers. Ava walks out with the documents, while Nina in tears at her desk, takes off her wedding rings and has her assistant come in so she can messenger the rings back to Sonny’s address.

The episode and these scenes featured great performances by Cynthia Watros and Maura West. You can check some of the scenes below.

Now, let us know, what is Ava’s next move? Is she going to become Mrs. Sonny Corinthos? Do you like Ava and Nina as enemies? Comment below.
