Rick Hearst Returns To GH
Rick Hearst Returns To GH As Ric Lansing

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.

“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.

General Hospital Spoilers: Liz’s Stalker A Blast From Her Past?

With the help of Hamilton Finn (Michael Easton), Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) has been wracking her brain trying to figure out who is obsessed with either her late husband Franco Baldwin (Roger Howarth) or she, herself.

General Hospital spoilers reveal Elizabeth and Finn keep working toward getting the answers they need to end this threatening situation.

General Hospital spoilers and rumors suggest that perhaps the stalker isn’t really fixated on Franco, but on Elizabeth. But who is obsessed with Liz? Back in her teen years, Elizabeth was a victim of rape. Thankfully she has Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson) by her side as she dealt with the aftermath of the traumatic event. Liz was also the fixation of a Port Charles resident with major ties to the city and its people. As the brother of Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and father of Molly Lansing Davis (Haley Pullos), Ric has roots in PC.

General Hospital rumors claim Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) could rear his head and revert to his days of obsessing over Elizabeth. Ric went into a downward spiral when his obsession with having a baby with Liz and the kidnapping of Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright).

It seems that Betsy Frank is too obvious of a choice, and Liz’s son Jake Webber seemed to be genuinely shaken by the whole thing. Why not throw us for a loop and resurface a blast from the past?

General Hospital Spoilers: Ric’s Plan Backfires

Ric has always been an exception schemer. Who could forget how he came into Port Charles? He weaseled his way into his brother Sonny’s life under false pretenses, getting close to Sonny just to try and take him down. He kidnapped Carly while she was pregnant and locked her into a panic room, in a house he shared with Elizabeth. He lied to Elizabeth on a daily basis. Ric has done some questionable things around Port Charles, and there are more where those came from.

Ric’s latest scheme is just another way to get what he wants, Elizabeth. He is in love with Liz Webber as they found their way back to each other even after all the terrible things he did to her. However, when Liz thought Ric was dead, she started to have feelings for Jake (Jason) Doe. When Ric returned from the dead (or so everyone thought), he explained that he was in the witness protection program, and that he had been trying to get back to his love, Elizabeth. Since Liz and Jake were smack in the middle of a growing romance, Ric basically told Jake to get lost.

Some time has passed and Elizabeth has had time to try and sort out her feelings. She admitted that she has feelings for Jake, even though his past is uncertain. Knowing that Jake is an honorable man and will keep his commitments, Ric hired Hayden to pretend to be Jake’s wife in order to get him out of the picture, and Liz running back into his arms.

General Hospital spoilers indicate that although Ric may think he has the perfect plan, things will soon enough blow up in his face. Since there is another person involved in the scheme other than Ric and Hayden, this complicated the secret. The man who is posing for photos, pretending to be “Jake” may not be a sure thing for Ric to pull this off. General Hospital rumors have speculated that this man will end up blackmailing Ric, and flat out will not want to go through with the plan.

How will Elizabeth react when the truth comes out? If Ric thinks his plan is a sure thing… he’s got another thing coming.
