General Hospital (GH) spoilers tease that there could be a very good reason why Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) has been covering for Peter August (Wes Ramsey). As GH viewers know, a while back Anna got access to police files on Peter, only to lift some of the evidence connecting Peter with the gunman whom he hired to assassinate Andre Maddox (Anthony Washington) and Franco Baldwin (Roger Howarth).
A part of Anna seemed to be worried that perhaps Peter might be guilty, but mostly she seemed to feel that Peter was innocent but that others would think he was guilty unless she obfuscated the evidence.
At least, that’s how things have played out on the show, but could there be another explanation for Anna’s strong feelings of wanting to protect Peter?
GH spoilers have considered for some time that it’s possible that Peter’s mother is actually Alex Devane Marick (Finola Hughes). And considering Peter’s propensity for evil, it could very well be the case.
If Alex is Peter’s mother, then it makes sense that she might want to protect him and let him get away with his evil deeds. And that makes us wonder if perhaps the person that everyone believes is Anna is actually…Alex!
General Hospital spoilers say that if that’s the case, then there would be a lot of ramifications. First off, the whole thing would really be a bombshell for Hamilton Finn (Michael Easton).
Finn’s world would be shattered if he were to find out that the woman he’s been living with and that Violet Finn (Jophielle Love) has grown to love is actually Alex.
Finn may find himself suddenly faced with the reality that everything he suspected about Peter is true, and that he’s been living with the wrong woman!
And Finn would then have to ask himself when Alex switched places with Anna. Was the switch made when Anna went to bring Alex in after she escaped from Steinmauer? Has Finn been sleeping with Alex all this time?
Finn would absolutely reel from the revelation that the woman he’s believed to be Anna is really the evil Alex.
If it’s true Alex has somehow taken Anna’s place, GH fans just might see the gloves come off in her defense of Peter. If Alex’s cover is blown, things could get dicey for the people who are investigating Peter.
Alex might work to ensure that people like Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) or Damian Spinelli (Bradford Anderson), both of whom hate Peter, are no longer able to pick the threads out of Peter’s many tales. Alex might even be willing to kill for Peter!
We have to consider, too, what Peter’s reaction might be if it comes out that Alex is really his mother. One could argue that most of Peter’s actions of late have been to preserve what he’s hoped would be the beginnings of a new life without the stain of the Faison name.
Peter has found himself drawing close to the woman he thinks is Anna. If that reality is shaken, Peter could be forced to choose between two paths.
That is, Peter might question whether he should follow in the footsteps of Alex, who has been covering for him. He might think that his destiny is set as the son of Cesar Faison (Anders Hove) and Alex. That could result in a much more dangerous Peter!
Or could finding out the truth make Peter turn on a dime and work a deal with Robert? In exchange for providing proof that Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) was framed, and by providing Robert with aid in finding the real Anna, might Robert finally drop his pursuit of Peter?
It would be tough for Robert to do, but he might be motivated if it means finding where Anna’s been held all this time.
One thing is certain, if Anna is really Alex, the lives of many GH characters are going to become even messier than they already are! Do you think it’s possible that Alex is currently impersonating Anna? Stay tuned to the ABC soap and keep checking back with CDL for the latest General Hospital updates, daily recaps, and spoilers.
