GH's Wes Ramsey Reveals the Secret of Peter and Maxie's Chemistry

Peter and Maxie have come a long way, and the former’s portrayer, Wes Ramsey, is thrilled to be in the ring with Kirsten Storms as a scene partner on GENERAL HOSPITAL. “My hat’s off to Kirsten, because she’s an incredible actress,” he raved to Soaps In Depth. “The work she pulls off day in and day out, week in and week out, I’m really in awe of her. I feel fortunate to work with her. She and I both are able to rely on each other and on the writing — because for us, it starts and ends with the writing. We have to take what they give us and use ourselves to make it into what we believe it could be.”

While Maxie and Peter had trouble making it to their first date, Ramsey never shared any of his character’s doubt. “Immediately, when we realized we were going to work together and that the stakes were going to be so high, we knew it was going to give us a chance to really go for it,” he recalled. “And we did. It’s been a blast!”
