Daddy’s Home! Earlier this week, General Hospital Blog helped spread the word about Rick Hearst’s GH return. GH news reports confirm that Hearst returns to General Hospital as Ric Lansing.
Reportedly, the actor and role was last seen on GH in 2016 after his 2002-2009 run on the Daytime Drama. Ric Lansing came to town for his brother, Sonny Corinthos. However, Ric and Sonny didn’t have a happy reunion. Their relationship was complicated at best, and the years never brought them closer.
According to recent General Hospital comings and goings, Rick Hearst has returned to General Hospital as Ric Lansing. Recently, Hearst shared details of Ric’s comeback. Apparently he’s back for his daughter Molly Lansing Davis (Kristen Vaganos). She’s gonna need her father at a time like this… maybe even a lawyer! Good thing that Ric is mother Molly’s father, and an attorney!
General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Ric returns to represent Molly in her custody battle against Kristina Corinthos (Kate Mansi). The situation between the surrogate sisters intensifies this week as Molly gets served. According to the recent General Hospital previews, TJ Ashford (Tajh Bellow) turns to Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn).
Agent John Jagger Cates came to Port Charles on a mission. He’s a blast from the past and hasn’t been to Port Charles in decades. So when he arrive last year he knew exactly what he was doing.
General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Agent Cates (Adam Harrington) has a bone to pick with someone in Port Charles. Despite his obvious hatred for Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), GH rumors hint that Agent Cates has a bigger fish to fry.
Agent Cates Targets Jason Not Sonny
According to the latest GH rumors and spoilers, John Jagger Cates has it out for someone else other than Sonny. He used Carly as his excuse to keep Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) under his control. Holding Carly’s freedom over Jason’s head kept the FBI Agent in control. But now that Carly had giving herself up to Cates, his true intentions could be revealed.
Recently, new GH spoilers and rumors tease that Agent Cates used Carly, and now Sonny as his excuse to terrorize Jason’s life. Back in the day Agent Cares was known around Port Charles as Jagger. GH recaps recall a love triangle among Jagger, Jason, and Karen Wexler. Jagger went on to marry her but he always held animosity toward Jason because of his and Karen’s feelings for each other.
Moreover, GH rumors speculate that Cate’s hate for Jason runs deep because of a secret. Did Karen have Jason’s baby all this years ago? And did that child grow up to be Dex Heller (Evan Hofer)? 😳
Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) proved that he’d give up his freedom for his best friend, Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright). Certain people blame Carly for Jason’s 3 year absence. For example, Jason’s ex-wife, Sam Morgan (Kelly Monaco) wasn’t too thrilled to learn that Jason was gone in order to protect Carly. While it’s technically true, but Carly has proven that she’d reciprocate for Jason.
General Hospital spoilers tease that Carly faces losing her freedom after giving herself up to Agent John Cates. Carly may be willing to sacrifice it all to release Jason from Cates’s choke hold, but Sonny and Jason won’t let it happen.
According to the latest General Hospital previews, Sonny Corinthos and Jason Morgan come to Carly’s rescue after she surrendered to Agent Cates. There’s no way that Sonny will let the mother of his children sit in prison. Furthermore, Jason won’t have any of that either. Will John Jagger Cates be stopped before Carly loses her freedom?
Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and his brother Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) have a troubled relationship. Ric came to Port Charles back in 2002. Unfortunately, his arrival into his mob boss of a brother’s hometown wasn’t a happy family reunion. Let’s just say that Sonny and Ric aren’t the type of bros to have each other’s back.
Ric left Port Charles in 2009, then briefly returned in 2016. For the most part Ric was a covert villain. As GH recaps recall, Ric spiraled and exposed himself to the town after holding Carly hostage. Shockingly, Carly was locked in a panic room inside Ric’s own home. He shared that home with Elizabeth.
Ric was romantically involved with Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) and Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn). But his most complicated relationship was the one he had with his brother. Sonny and Ric weren’t best buds. Actually, Ric grew up with a father who hated Sonny. He came to PC and dated trouble, and committed crimes.

General Hospital recaps recall the character’s name drop during a conversation between Alexis Davis and Molly Lansing Davis (Kristen Vagabosý. Reportedly, Hearst
“I didn’t think anything of it, really, and then lo and behold, [casting director] Mark Teschner is reaching out to me via email, my Google voicemail and my Facebook with a ‘call me,’ Hearst recalls. “I’m like, You know, as much as I love Mark and I love that he would reach out to me, that’s awfully intense. Somethings up.”
According to the latest GH news updates, Rick Hearst reveals his thoughts when Mark Tescher asked the big question. Hearst was asked to reprise his GH role as Ric Lansing. The actor explains, “My first question was, ‘Really?” he muses. “And he said, ‘Yeah.’ I said, ‘What’s the story, what’s happening?’ So then he told me and I kind of look at it as, ‘Daddy’s home and here to take care of his daughter and anything that entails.'”
It sounds like Ric comes back to Port Charles as Molly goes through a tough time. Will Lansing represent his own daughter in a custody battle?
General Hospital news and spoilers reveal that Rick Hearst has been taking his first scenes. Ric Lansing returns to Port Charles on the week of August 19th.
Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) was deceived. She fell for John Jagger Cates’s story when he first came to Port Charles. But little did she know that John was actually Agent John Jagger Cates, a sore spot from Sonny’s past.
According to General Hospital recaps, Steve Burton’s return as Jason Morgan opened up the current storyline. Carly and Jason display their true bond as they both risk themselves for each other. Jason didn’t hesitate to step up for Carly when Agent Cates threatened her freedom.
Carly Gives Herself To John Cates
General Hospital spoilers and previews indicate that Carly’s had enough. She and Jason thought that Agent Cates would cut Jason loose after he followed through on the Pikeman investigation. However, this isn’t just business for John Jagger Cates. Nope. It’s actually very personal. Right now Carly figures that John Cates has it out for Sonny. He wants Jason to get incriminating evidence against the Port Charles mob boss.
But, GH rumors hint it may not be Sonny Cates wants after all. John seems to really want to stick it to Jason regardless of who he uses as an excuse to put Jason through hell. Has Jagger been out to get Jason all along?
Ava Jerome’s (Maura West) and Sonny Corinthos’s (Maurice Benard) convoluted relationship baffles many. Hate sex led the two mobsters to become co-parents. Their daughter Avery has linked them for life.
GH recaps recall the Jerome/Corinthos rivalry as both mob families fought to take territory in Port Charles. Ultimately, the Jerome family’s mob influence has died now that both Olivia and Julian Jerome have both passed away.
As the only remaining Jerome family member left in Port Charles, Ava stirs up enough trouble on her own. According to General Hospital spoilers, Ava continues to harbor the secret about Sonny’s placebos. She knows exactly why he’s spiraling, but remains in the dark about who is pulling off the med switch.
Carly Saves Sonny
The latest General Hospital spoilers and previews indicate that Carly takes action. She knows Sonny better than anyone, and she can see when he’s struggling. As it turns out, Carly figured out what’s Ava’s been up to. It’s become obvious that something is off about Sonny and his medication.
Lately, Sonny’s been putting his trust in the wrong people, starting with Ava. But thankfully Carly is on top of this. Will she save Sonny before he hits rock bottom and loses Avery?
Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) may not be Sonny Corinthos’s wife anymore, but she’ll forever have his back. Despite the ugly split and then betrayal that Carly felt when Sonny pursued a relationship with Nina, Carly and Sonny always look out for each other.
General Hospital recaps recall Sonny’s trust issues. Recently, he made the mistake of trusting Ava Jerome (Maura West). Meanwhile, he turned his back on Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) and Carly. But first, he found out that Nina betrayed him and his family when she turned Carly and Drew into the SEC. That’s when he decided that Nina could no longer be trusted. Finally, not until later on did Sonny confide in Ava while pushing Carly and Jason away.
As Taylor Swift says, “I wounded the good and I trusted the wicked.” That’s exactly what happened when Sonny told Ava that she’s the only person he can trust, while tearing down Carly and Jason. Mistakenly, Sonny leaned on and confided in a former mobster. But you know what they say, once a mobster, always a mobster. Just kidding, I don’t know if anyone really says that. But seriously, GH has taught me that it’s pretty hard to leave the business.
Carly And Nina Team Up
First of all, Ava dated Sonny’s son, Morgan Corinthos (Bryan Craig). That alone should be reason enough to keep his distance. Instead, Sonny ended up sleeping with his son’s ex! Then, Sonny blows off the fact that Ava killed Connie Falconeri (Kelly Sullivan), AND had a hand in his son Morgan’s death! How can he blow that off? Still, he got close to her in recent times despite her heinous deeds.
General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Sonny may have labeled Nina and Carly traitors, but that doesn’t stop them from caring about his well being. Carly has a feeling that Ava and Agent Cates are working together, and that Ava is helping Cates take down Sonny. Apparently, Carly asks Nina to work together against Ava.
Despite Sonny Corinthos’s mindset, Carly and Jason are not against him. In fact, they are about the only two people who truly look out for Sonny’s best interest. They know him inside and out, and stand by him even when they’re on the outs.
For most of their adult lives Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) have been the closest and most trusted people to Sonny. But since breaking up his marriage for Nina, he and Carly haven’t been the same. Furthermore, Sonny’s relationship with his best friend has drastically changed.
GH recaps remind us who stood by Jason when he was accused of shooting Dante. Even Sonny doubted his former right hand man. Sonny treated Jason like an enemy upon his homecoming because he assumed the worst. Then, Jason was vindicated after having been accused of shooting Dante. Apparently, Jason’s innocence didn’t matter to Sonny because he refuses to talk things out. Instead, Sonny harbors anger toward the two people he can actually trust.
Right now Sonny finds it difficult to trust anyone because he’s been burned many times before. As a result, the trust between Sonny and Jason and Carly is gone. Although the Port Charles mob boss has unfairly accused and shunned his best friend and ex-wife, Jason and Carly have not wavered.
Carly Confronts Ava About Sonny
General Hospital previews and spoilers indicate that Carly is still looking out for her ex-husband. GH previews show Carly as she confronts the suspected snake. Yes, Carly gets wind that Ava is up to no good. Agent Cates (Adam Harrington) can’t be trusted, but neither can Ava. So, is Sonny’s ex-wife able to stop a mobster like Ava Jerome (Maura West) if she’s working with the FBI?
Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) and Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) go way back. Over the years they’ve remained connected through mutual friends, and cross paths in their line of work. Anna and Laura’s close friendship has gotten them through numerous compromising situations.
According to General Hospital previews, Mayor Laura Collins asks Anna Devane for answers. Valentin is wanted for his involvement in Pikeman, but now he’s on the run. Recently, Anna’s been working with Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) to help gather the evidence he needs for his FBI mission. The evidence must appease Agent Cates.
The latest GH recaps how Anna has handled situation ant hand. After giving Valentin a heads up, Anna must now face the Mayor. She allowed Valentin to escape with his daughter Charlotte, but Laura wants to get in touch with her granddaughter’s father.
General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that these two formidable friends must put their friendship to the test. There’s no don’t that Anna kept her word to Jason Morgan (Steve Burton). But how far will she go after turning in Valentin to the FBI? Will she make sure that the bus rolls over him twice? Or will resist giving him up to Laura?
It’s no secret that Anna’s feelings are torn as she knows that Valentin loves her. Admittedly, Valentin loves Anna but would still sacrifice her for personal gain. So, why should she do him any more favors?
Mayor Laura Spencer Collins has been through more in her life than the average grandmother. The adventures of her youth shaped Laura into the wife, mother, and grandmother that she is today. These days, a day in the life looks much different for Mrs. Collin’s than it did back when she was a Webber wrapped up in Luke’s world.
General Hospital recaps remind GH fans of Laura’s recent losses. In the matter of a short time, Mayor Collin has experienced great loss and tragedy in her life. Most recently, she lost her grandson. Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) and Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) were interrupted when his crazy ex-girlfriend Esme welcomed herself aboard on the ship to Paris.
Unexpectedly, Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl) popped up and that’s when Spencer and Esme fell into the water. Laura receive the devastating news that baby Ace (Jay and Joey Clay) had lost his mom and his big brother. But prior to losing her grandson, Laura’s son Nikolas went missing.
Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma/Adam Huss) was the source of Laura’s most recent stress. Sadly, his choices led to many of the unfortunate incidents within Laura’s immediate family.
Laura now lives in Port Charles as her daughter Lulu (Emme Rylan) lies in a coma. Furthermore, her son Lucky is not even in the same country, Nikolas is still out there somewhere, and Spencer is presumed dead.
According to the latest General Hospital news, Jonathan Jackson is set to return as Lucky Spencer. Finally, Laura can breathe easier now that her son Lucky is home.
