Peter August is a fictional character from General Hospital, an American soap opera on the ABC network, portrayed by Wes Ramsey. Peter is introduced as a media publisher in 2017, and is soon revealed to be the previously unknown son of Cesar Faison (Anders Hove) and Alex Marick (Finola Hughes). Peter’s introduction garnered very mixed reactions from both critics and viewers alike. While most felt the story undermined Anna's long history and backstory, a few, including ABC Soaps In Depth actually liked the umbrella affect the story had on the canvas. Despite the critiques about Peter being Anna's son, many praised Ramsey for his "compelling" and "nuanced" portrayal of the character. TV Insider hailed the revelation of Peter's lineage as one of the "Best Moments" of the year, while Michael Fairman TV said Peter was the "Most Polarizing Character" of the season and Soap Opera Digest felt it was too big a "rewrite" for fans to believe.
