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.

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?

General Hospital News And Spoilers: Carly Asks Nina To Team Up

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

Nina and Carly

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.

Can these enemies find a way to get along?

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.

Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) has played with a woman’s heart. In fact, he could quite possibly have lead two women on. Or just so happens that those two women are mother and daughter.

General Hospital recaps recall Drew’s mentality toward Nina after discovering that she’s the one who turned in himself and Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) to the SEC.
