Wes Ramsey Returns to General Hospital as Hallucinated Peter August

Writers say the vision will shape Anna Devane’s choices and could push her toward dangerous actions when she comes home.

Overview

  • Wes Ramsey reprised the role of Peter August as a hallucination on the July 2 episode, appearing inside Anna Devane’s troubled mind.
  • Anna was declared ready to leave a treatment clinic in Aix-Les-Bains after therapy for drug-induced hallucinations, but Peter unexpectedly reappeared there.
  • Felicia confirmed that the man believed to be Nathan West was actually Cassius Faison and apologized to Anna for doubting her earlier claim.
  • Head writers Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten have said Anna’s months of captivity and gaslighting will have long-term effects and that the hallucination will color her reunions and choices in Port Charles, with the scribes even hinting Anna may return with “deadly intentions.”
  • Because Peter was killed on-screen in 2022, the show is using hallucination as a device to preserve continuity while letting Ramsey’s character act as a symbolic manifestation of Anna’s guilt and trauma.
