Threats are made and received in Port Charles.

In the preview for General Hospital for April 12 – 16, things are turning dangerous for a number of people. Read on for the scoop!

Left with no alternative, Anna and Valentin lured Peter into a trap at her house and pulled their guns on him. Now they’ve taken him hostage, but what is their endgame? Are they hoping for a confession, or planning to transfer him somewhere more secure for good? One thing is for sure, Peter isn’t going down without a fight and warns them that someone close to them will pay for this!

More: Who could get away with killing Peter?

Last week, Peter attempted to drug Finn, but things took a very wrong turn. Finn and his family played a favorite game of theirs where they spun their drinks around to be surprised by what they got. Someone is going to be surprised all right. Unfortunately that someone appears to be Chase!

Finally, Alexis has reported to Pentonville, and already things are taking a scary turn when an inmate gets up in her face. Hopefully, she took the prison consultant’s advice and got in a kickboxing class or two before heading to serve her term.

<p>After appearing as Victoria the White Cat in the original London production of <em>Cats</em> and starring opposite John Travolta in the <em>Saturday Night Fever</em> sequel <em>Staying Alive</em>, Finola Hughes took her career in a whole new direction.</p>

<p>In 1985, the London-born actress accepted her first daytime role — and it was a doozy. <em>General Hospital</em> cast her as Anna Devane, the long-lost wife of Robert Scorpio — <em>and</em> a major spoiler in his mega-popular relationship with Holly Sutton.</p>

<p>Not only did Hughes have mad chemistry with Tristan Rogers as Robert, she and Ian Buchanan turned Anna and Duke Lavery into one of the greatest supercouples in <em>General Hospital</em> history.</p>

<p>By 1992, Hughes, Daytime Emmy in hand, was ready to try her luck in primetime. And her luck, it turned out, was fantastic. She headlined the short-lived <em>Jack’s Place</em> with Hal Linden and became Mayim Bialik’s stepmother on <em>Blossom</em>.</p>

<p>After starring on Aaron Spelling’s too-brief <em>Pacific Palisades</em> with Michelle Stafford (Phyllis, <em>The Young and the Restless</em>), Hughes began recurring on <em>Charmed</em> as the ill-fated mother of the series’ sibling sorceresses.</p>

<p>In 1999, Hughes relocated to Pine Valley to play Anna’s twin, Alex, on <em>All My Children</em>. Eventually, the character was sent packing — and she wasn’t even a villain yet! — and her portrayer reprised her role of Anna.</p>

<p>Following Hughes’ 2012 return to <em>General Hospital</em>, Anna was paired with a surprising partner, Anthony Geary’s roguish Luke Spencer. Mind you, the biggest shock wasn’t that they were hooked up but that it worked so well.</p>

<p>It seemed as if no sooner was Duke resurrected — and, as you’d hope, reunited with Anna — than he was revealed to be the nefarious Cesar Faison in a <em>crazy</em> elaborate mask. Then, almost as fast as the real Duke turned up, he was gunned down!</p>

<p>Did we mention that, at turns, Anna and daughter Robin both believed that the other had passed away? ’Cause they did. On and off, “grave matters” were kinda their thing.</p>

<p>Recruiting handsome M.D. Hamilton Finn to help her on a case yielded a most unexpected result for Anna: The flirtation that they started off faking soon became real… as did the deep love that they felt for one another.</p>

<p>During a particularly confusing stretch of storyline in which memories were exchanged like glances, Anna was led to believe that she’d gotten it on with Faison as part of a WSB mission and had wound up bearing his child. (Spoiler alert: She hadn’t.)</p>

<p>Once Anna learned not only that the nefarious Peter August wasn’t her son but that he was every bit as evil as dad Faison, she made it her mission to see him brought to justice — which was easier said than done, slippery as he was!</p>

<p>For ages, the relationship between Anna and Valentin Cassadine was adversarial at best. But once they reached a new understanding of their past, it totally changed the tone of their present, resulting in a future that seemed far more romantic than either of them could have imagined.</p>

<p>As much as Anna had wanted to stop Peter, she’d also hoped against hope that there was some good in him. So when he was finally introduced to his maker in 2022, she was the only person who could bring herself to shed a tear (other than the happy kind).</p>

<p>While “Vanna” should have been able to revel in their relationship, they couldn’t, thanks to his nefarious father, Victor, Anna’s supposed “murder” of Lucy Coe and a complicated plot involving Deputy Mayor Eileen Ashby, Robert, impotence and the Ice Princess.</p>
