Wes Ramsey, Co-Stars, Bid Farewell to General Hospital’s Peter August

As viewers saw this week, evil Peter August went to that great soap in the sky after Felicia Scorpio stopped him dead in his tracks from harming her daughter Maxie Jones on General Hospital. Now, Peter’s portrayer, Wes Ramsey, is speaking out on his departure.

Wes Ramsey Gives Thanks

“Thank you for taking the journey with me. To those who were kind & supportive, my heart has felt inspired by you,” Ramsey posted on Instagram. “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 Praises Ramsey

Co-stars weighed in with supportive messages to Ramsey including Finola Hughes (Anna), who shared Peter’s final scene. “You are Renaissance man, a consummate professional. Thank you [Wes Ramsey] for being a great scene partner,” Hughes posted on Instagram. “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.”
