General Hospital
Wes Ramsey Wraps His Run as GH’s Peter August Shares: “Thank You For Taking the Journey with Me”
Since 2017, one of the most polarizing characters in soaps has been that of Henrik Faison AKA Peter August. Through his reign of terror, Peter always seemed to get away, live to see another day, and not pay for any of his crimes. But that all came to an end on Wednesday’s episode of General Hospital.
Peter finally died after being hit in the head with a tire iron by Felicia (Kristina Wagner) after she found her daughter, Maxie (Kirsten Storms) staring down the barrel of the gun that Peter was holding on her! After Felicia struck Peter in the head, he slid down an embankment to the ground below, and was barely conscious. In the end, it was Anna (Finola Hughes) alone with Peter, who failed to call 911 and an ambulance to help save Peter, instead she quickened his death by not getting him immediate medical attention.

After Peter extends his hand to Anna, knowing that this is the end of his life, she holds on to it, until Peter dies. And this time, Peter died for real. Following the airing of the episode, Wes Ramsey took to social media to say his farewell to the role and to thank the GH fans.
In a post on his Instagram, Wes expressed: “Thank you for taking the journey with me. To those who were kind & supportive, my heart has felt inspired by you. To my friends & family (& the fans everywhere), it has been an honor to give everything I had to this & I will never forget how fun it was to entertain you. To the cast & crew, thank you for welcoming me into your world & for giving me a chance to play with you each day. To the writers, producers & directors, thank you for trusting me with all we did together. It was one helluva ride… “#GH #peteraugust #actorslife #mydreamscametrue
Finola Hughes, who shared Ramsey’s final on-air scenes, expressed her thoughts on working with Wes, in a separate IG post: “You are Renaissance man, a consummate professional. Thank you @wes_ramsey for being a great scene partner. Thank you for bringing your ‘A’ game each and every day to #GH It’s been a pleasure exploring all the strange grey areas of a story where the villains were sometimes the victims, and the heroes weren’t always in the right. You trod some difficult terrain and carried it with grace and dignity. Your chilling poise as the character, and transparent wound made working opposite you fulfilling and always surprising. To everything the road ahead brings you, to the moon 🌙 xxx” @generalhospitalabc #GH
So, what did you think of Wes Ramsey’s parting words? Are you glad the Peter has finally met his maker? Comment below. But first, watch the final moments in Peter’s life as Anna is there with him at the end.

Welcome back to Hell, Whiny Heiny!!
Cerberus was happy to get his favorite chew toy back.
Long overdue, probably the most toxic character in 59 years of GH history APPEARS to be gone. A body bag scene (a la Julian) would’ve been very appreciative here, but let’s just call it final.
I do wish Wes a fantastic career far away from GH and that the character never reappears.
The 30+ year friendship between Anna and Felicia was perfectly highlighted in their dual responsibility in ending Peter. Both were terrorized by Heinrik’s father at one time. Cesar Faison – now that’s a real villain!
Other than Valentin (JPS must be shooting his other series) Wednesday’s episode featured all the key characters who had to be the first to know it was all over.
To top it all off, we finally got the long awaited BLQ- Chase kiss.
I have to wish Mr. AUGUST had taken his journey long ago. He more than overstayed his welcome. I bet our friend Satan had the fires going full blast! I was overall disappointed in the “grand finale” that we waited so long for.It was almost amusing when Anna, Drew, Dante, etc. raided the house like gangbusters. After everything Peter had done and people he killed, two women overcame him with no problem. Such a huge letdown. I think the viewers deserved more than that!
I don’t trust General Hospital when it comes to THEIR favorite villains (not ours, theirs!) – they so often don’t stay dead, particularly Cesar Faison and at the moment Victor Cassadine. Here’s hoping Peter is another Shiloh and stays dead!!!!
It was beyond time for Peter to leave the canvas of the show. It is an enormous relief and now we can move on to other stories.
Perhaps Wes Ramsey might show up on one of the other three shows?
I like Wes Ramsey. I’ve always liked Ramsey. However, he was terribly miscast in an overly drawn out role. They easily could have cast someone like Trevor Donovan as Peter and it would’ve truly taken the role to new aspects we never got. And the more people bitched the more I know the character was pushed, and rightfully so. Am wishing him the best on his next chapter and I will be sure to follow him.
Hahaha!!! C’mon, GH fans…after all the despicable things Peter did and he “dies” by getting hit in the head by a tire iron? You know that ain’t happening. Give it 6 months or a year and we’ll see peter pop up out of nowhere and with an explanation of how he survived. A character like Peter would be dipped into a vat of acid to get his just desserts. Sorry, gang, but I’m not buying it.
A vat of acid isn’t exactly permanent either. Remember when Hope “died” on Days of Our Lives?? Not only did it not actually kill her, but they retconned it later to say she wasn’t even the one who fell in the acid… and the woman who did (Greta) even survived with some minor facial scarring.
I’ll do my best to keep Heiny in Hell this time. Cerberus won’t be happy if he escapes again, and not even the Devil wants a three headed Hellhound pissed off at me!
In some ways I will miss Peter as a character. I was always hoping his better angels would win…and he did have his good moments. But, alas, the dark side got the better of him in the end. So to Wes, great job in playing this complex, damaged person. And good luck for happier roles in the future.
Then there was the handholding goodbye at the end between Anna and Peter. OMG did it ever get to me. Beautifully done.
I am trusting you Michael! That this…”And this time, Peter died for real.”…is true! ~
This damn story went on WAAAY too long, and that creep had better never come back! ~
So far I’m ‘loving to hate’ Victor, so I can take him being the bad guy for a while.
One day a writer will write that Victor’s men picked up his dead body and one day we will see Peter in some human test tube frozen …right beside another human text tube with a frozen Luke…
The “Climax” was a let down. Some of the cast had boasted about how good this story was going to be as it wrapped! What are they supposed to say? But anyway, burning in a vat of acid would have been much better but GH, more than any other soap likes to revive the dead!! I dont mind it. It shakes up the characters and the viewers get excited or upset when someone rises from the ashes! Peter may or may not be dead. If he resurfaces, maybe by then Laura Wright will be dating a new guy! [Badadum!] Just kidding Laura! But maybe Wes isnt available and they bring in a new Peter. Who knows? Faison was spooky, evil and Wes was not. Wes can act but this wasn’t his role. But one thing I do know, Faison could and probably does have other children out there somewhere waiting to hop on a boat and sail into PC to reek havoc!
I am SO PISSED OFF at the writers for the way they took Peter out! This is the second villain that the entire town of PC said they hated and wanted to see dead in recent years but the writers gave us an anti-climatic end to. (The first one being Shiloh.) They had a perfect set up for a great who-dunnit and wimped out with, though action packed, was a great big let-down. Why couldn’t Peter have vanished when Anna left him, only to show up a week later and then be shot or something like that?
GH doesn’t do shootouts well. That cabin was so recognizable. And then having Anna, Dante and Drew shoot at something off camera and only three feet from the cabin (not to mention hiding behind a rock the width of a furniture box) made me ask if a junior high schooler produced those scenes. They were laughable. I realize there a budget restraint, but by golly!, this was awful!
I feel very robbed by their decision to write Peter (and Wes, who I think is a gifted actor), off this way. I was getting my hopes built up for a great mystery.
Now, the only mystery to me is why do they keep coping out of murder trials of great villains.
AAAWWW- I’m going to miss Peter–
No soap is worth a nickel without a dark evil Villain-
Now GH is Villian free-
Hope a new menacing threatening dark Villian will enter soon-
And-
When Peter went dark he should have been called Henrik-
Peter should have been dropped and returned to Henrik.
What? Villain free? We have the delicious and suavely evil, Victor Cassadine, the insidious psycho-chick-from hell, Esme, and Ryan is quietly pushing the reset button while gaining strength. . Peter was not needed, he became dead weight long ago. Moreover, Joss has turned into a mean girl, who treats her best friend Trina like her own personal accessory. No, we have too many villains.
Hi Harry 🙂
Victor isn’t scary–not like the Cassidines of old when they could make you quiver on the edge of your seat..
Even Valentin, the one that put the fear in Helena is nothing but a teddy bear-
Mean and nasty is not an evil bad to the bone guy..
It was way way before my time– but my granny soap guru neighbor told me of Ray Garnder and Clyde–
and I spent time with her watching them..
she luved showing them to me, I liked it-
Now– they were 100% true evil villains–
GH is free of true dark-cringing guys.
GH will never again capture the true essence of the villains of the old days, that I saw.
Why? because too many pearl clutches killed them off by whining about them doing nasty things LOL –Time will tell if GH will create an actual dark evil villain, again.
And-
Peter was nothing in comparison to the original villains, nope-
There must be a list of them online or somewhere.
Victor is more of a charming villain. Ryan is always lurking though.
To dip into history and bring someone truly scary back, they need to find wherever Grant Putnam is locked up. Bring him back with another vicious looking dog. That’ll frighten the horses.
Well, the pretext for bringing Grant Putnam back is that his son has been working in the Quartermaine mansion in recent months…. Ever notice how much that Yuri guy looks like him?
Though Yuri has a Russian accent, so he’s more likely to be related to Grant’s KGB doppleganger, Grant Andrews… and that’s assuming he took Celia back home to raise his family in “mother Russia”
In normal times, I’d like your suggestion, but with what’s going on in the world right now, the show won’t touch on anything remotely Russian-related. This is similar to not addressing Covid as soaps traditionally offer an escapism from real world severities.
Yeah, I came up with my theory about Yuri long before Pooty decided to attack Ukraine, but thanks to that, it’s not a likely plot twist right now. I wouldn’t be surprised if Yuri disappeared without a trace, actually. Hell, Sonny’s bodyguards Max & Milo dropped off the planet, and they weren’t even from any “controversial” countries. Now he’s got that new guy who looks like Jack Webb from the old Dragnet show… on steroids.
Harry
You are right. I am not looking forward to Esme and whoever Ryan is to her when they gain momentum. I thought it was just me that thought Joss was over the top the other day, kind of disturbing in how much it bothered Trina, and it’s getting worse. Joss said it today, she learned from her mother how to handle people. I’d take advice from just about anyone but Carly.
Oh VIOLET, when Joss said to Cam how she learned how to defend her friends from Carly, I swear I could see poor Cam trying not to howl with laughter. Yeah, Carly is SO GOOD at interpersonal relationships…I’d emulate her, wouldn’t you? Yikes!
How long before Perer’s long lost twin shows up in town or Frank casts him as a different character
“Polarizing” isn’t the correct word. That means that there were viewers on both sides of the spectrum (poles), when in fact virtually everyone hated him.
But that doesn’t even matter: they purposely didn’t show his body being removed, so it’s only a matter of a month or so before he’s back, sad to say.
Not true. On wes and Fiona site over 5000 positive comments for Wes and many missing Peter
FINALLY!!!!! Now go away. SAYONARA!!!!!
Bye now.
General Hospital
Kelly Sullivan Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’s’ Maura West Recalling When Ava Shot Connie (Exclusive)
It was just over 13 years ago on General Hospital when Ava Jerome (Maura West) shot and killed Kate Howard/Connie Falconeri (Kelly Sullivan) in an effort to keep her quiet from revealing that Derek Wells was actually Ava’s back-from-the-dead brother, Julian Jerome (William deVry). It’s a crime that somehow Ava never has quite paid for either.
The episode back aired on August 13, 2013 and viewers had to say goodbye to Kelly Sullivan who played Kate and her alter, Connie. In the story, just before she died, Kate/Connie scrawled the letters AJ in her own blood, initially making the PCPD and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) think that it was AJ Quatermaine (Sean Kanan) who did the deed.
Now, Sullivan recalled sharing scenes with the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning West, during a live conversation on You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel. Kelly was the special guest talking about her recent return to the soaps in her new role as The Bold and the Beautiful’s Darcy Dylan.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF MAURA WEST
Speaking of her final GH scenes and working with Maura West, Sullivan gave her then GH co-star major props. “If you’re going to be shot by somebody (on the soaps), you want to be shot by Maura West, c’mon!”
Maura West debuted back in May 2013 as Ava, and Sullivan remembered when the As the World Turns favorite began on GH. “I remember when Maura West first arrived at GH. She walked in with this cute little bob (hairdo) and she’s just delicious,” shared Sullivan.
A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE
Kelly revealed more about Maura, adding “I think she’s amazing! I remember right before I left the show, someone suggested, and I would still love to do this with her, if she ever want to, but someone suggested that they wanted to direct the stage play A Streetcar Named Desire with Maura and I, where I would play Stella and she would play Blanche! Wouldn’t that be great?”
Speaking of the Ava/Connie showdown scenes, Sullivan expressed, “On television and on General Hospital specifically, Maura West is able to play a character who does the most horrendous things and you still care about her and that’s the mark of a really great actor. In other words, you’re able to be liked in the midst of the most horrendous things, and as a performer not shying away from that, and to just have the courage to do what’s on the page (in the script).”

KELLY SULLIVAN PARTING THOUGHTS AS SHE LEFT GENERAL HOSPITAL
Kelly also shared her sentiments when she walked off the set of General Hospital after her run back in August of 2013. “I really was honored. Every day I would go to work and I would say a little prayer, which is I want to do justice for my character, explained Kelly. “It’s between me and my character. I get to walk this path with her and to leave the show on that note, which is, I left every out there. I just gave it my all and again what an honor it was to play Kate/Connie.”
You can catch the full conversation with Kelly where she talks about her time on General Hospital, The Young and the Restless where she played Sage Warner and now The Bold and the Beautiful below.
So, do you remember the Ava and Connie scenes where Ava shot and killed her? What did you think of Kelly Sullivan’s sentiments about Maura West? Share your thoughts via the comment section. But first, watch the reveal where Ava recalls murdering Connie below!
The question of will Steve Burton (Jason Morgan) stay awhile at General Hospital after his recent extended hiatus from the show earlier this year, has reportedly been answered.
TMZ via court documents obtained in Burton’s ongoing legal battle with his ex-wife Sheree Gustin, shared that Steve actually inked a new three year deal with the ABC soap opera back in June.
That is significant because it was June when Burton returned back to work as Jason. In addition, the court filing confirmed that Burton had already moved back to California from Tennessee.

STEVE’S HIATUS AND HIS RETURN TO PORT CHARLES
GH fans will recall, it was back in February of 2026, that Burton announced via his Instagram that he was stepping away from his role of Jason Morgan for short break and pointed to wanting to spend quality time with his new wife, Michelle Lundstrom Burton with whom he tied the knot back on May 17, 2025.
Steve expressed at that time, “I’m newly married and looking forward to spending some quality time with my family.” It was back on March 25 that viewers saw Jason carted away by the WSB after taking the fall for Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) who shot then WSB Director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes).
Burton returned to work on June 1, and due to General Hospital taping roughly six weeks ahead of air, made his on-screen comeback on the July 13 episode.
GOING FOR GOLD AT THE UPCOMING DAYTIME EMMYS
Then, Steve and his enduring fans got an extra special treat on the same day, when it was revealed on Extra that he was nominated for the upcoming 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards in the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Daytime Drama Series category.
Steve previously won in the Supporting Actor category for his work as General Hospital’s Jason in 1998 and as The Young and the Restless’ Dylan McAvoy in 2018.
Now with Jason and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship seemingly hitting the skids, plus Jason’s commitment to staying out of mob life to focus on being present for his son Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn), what does the future hold for the fan favorite character? Stay tuned.
So, happy to hear that Steve Burton signed a new three year deal with General Hospital? Knowing that, what storyline would you like to see Jason get involved and with who? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason and Britt Reach an Impasse; Is This the End of Their Relationship?
On the Friday, September 11 episode of General Hospital, Jason (Steve Burton) and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship becomes strained to potentially the point of no return.
Things take a turn when an unglued Britt having been traumatized by almost being killed by Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) asks Jason to back her up with the PCPD when she reports Anna for attempted murder.
However, Jason told Britt, he can’t. Jason shares that he does not believe Anna would have gone through with shooting her. Therefore, Britt was not in any real imminent danger. Britt is flabbergasted and hurt that Jason is refusing to tell the police what he actually witnessed for himself on Mount Emerson.

BRITT WANTS BACK UP FROM JASON
Jason counters that he can’t believe that Britt would want Anna punished. or sent to prison, or a mental facility after the trauma she endured while being locked up and mentally tortured while at Wyndemere.
He asks Britt, “How could you even say that you want her locked up or prosecuted for what she did when you knew she was being held prisoner and you did nothing to save her?” Britt is stunned by Jason’s response.
Coming up, official General Hospital spoilers share that on the upcoming Monday, September 14 episode, Jason confides in Carly (Laura Wright), while Britt is stung. In the video preview that aired at the end of the Friday, September 11 episode for this coming Monday, Britt says to Jason, “You don’t believe me. Do you?”
General Hospital head scribes, Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte previously teased in their fall preview of the soap, “Britt and Jason have come a long way and fought a lot of enemies to be together. But the most stubborn obstacle to their happiness isn’t without, it’s within. Decisions Britt made to stay alive while under Cullum’s thumb will come back to haunt her and may prove too difficult for this unlikely couple to survive.”
So, what do you think will happen? Will Jason and Britt break-up over Britt’s lies and Jason’s unwillingness to report Anna’s crime against her? Do you want Jason and Britt to go their separate ways? If they do, will Britt become romantically involved with Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) ? If so, who do you pair Jason with? Anyone? Weigh-in via the comment section.
