## Storylines

On July 3, 2018, Wyatt was with his boy scout group the Raging Raccoons, when he ran into a cabin, which had Peter August inside. Peter asks for help. Wyatt says he needs to tell someone so he leaves without his bugle.

He returns and gets his bugle back but Liesl comes in. So he hurries up and hides under the bed. He crawls out, steals Liesl's notebook and takes it to Franco and Finn.

On September 10, 2019, Wyatt bumps into Peter at the hospital and tells him his mom wants him to get a tonsillectomy done and he was scared. Peter had a heart-to-heart with Wyatt and told him that he needed him to be as brave as he was when he helped save him from the cabin last year, plus he wouldn't be sick as much and he can enjoy a lot of free ice cream afterward. Wyatt agreed to do the tonsillectomy.

On September 17, Wyatt was in the open corridor of the hospital after surgery eating ice cream and he met Willow Tait. Finn told Willow that Wyatt was a hero and told him about how he helped save Peter last year. Wyatt said he wasn't a hero and that he tried to help another kid and he thought he messed up because he didn't have the right words. He also mentioned he wanted the kid to feel as calm as he did when he played the cello. Willow consoled him by saying that she used to play when she was a kid and said she wished he could have been there to help. Willow had Wyatt's mom bring the cello to the hospital and they had a mini-concert in the hospital.

On September 1, 2021, Wyatt, still a scout, finds Scott Baldwin in the woods near where the Chase-Webber families are camping. He helps cut Scott free from his parachute and calls 911 for Finn and Elizabeth. He and Finn greet each other, and he updates the doctor on the badges he's earned since they last met.
Later in the woods, Wyatt finds Liesl’s locket with a picture of Britt and Nathan inside. He gives the locket to Britt at GH and meets with Scott who was also a PC Pioneer back in the day.
On June 14, 2022, Austin is joined by Maxie as Wyatt helps them out at a Pautauk State Park campsite as he is now a junior counselor. Aiden, Jake, Cameron, and Violet are camping nearby and say hello. Wyatt says he has been playing guitar and later plays a song at the campfire.

On August 22, 2023, Wyatt and Jake Spencer head to General Hospital with Elizabeth to get his injured arm looked at by Dr. Austin Gatlin-Holt. After the appointment, he speaks to Jake about trying to practice for an upcoming concert. Gregory Chase walks up and they speak, with the man advising him to take the doctor's advice.
