General Hospital News And Spoilers: Confirmed! Here Are The Details Behind Rick Hearst’s General Hospital Return

*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.

Rick Hearst Returns To GH As Ric Lansing

General Hospital news confirmed that Tic Lansing is headed back to Port Charles. Yes, Sonny’s brother is back! Sources say that casting director Mark Teschner reached out to Hearst. In a recent interview, Rick Hearst shares the details about he’s GH comeback.

“It’s been very much on my periphery and not in my consciousness for eight years,” he disclosed. “The last time I was there was 2016.”

“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: Carly Gives Herself To John Cates

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?

General Hospital Spoilers: Ava Pokes The Bear, Carly Saves Sonny With Incriminating Evidence

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

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?

General Hospital Spoilers: Carly Catches Wind of Deception- Carly Confronts Ava About Sonny

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?

General Hospital Spoilers: Carly Grows Concerned About Kristina

When I think of Sonny’s oldest daughter and those close to her, Carly Corinthos’s name isn’t the first to come to mind. Despite having been Kristina’s stepmom, she and Carly aren’t super close. However, they aren’t exactly enemies or anything like that either.

Still, through the years Kristina has had her mom Alexis, and her sisters Sam and Molly. But the one she’s always been closest to is her dad, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). She and Port Charles’s most sought after mobster are thick as thieves. GH recaps recall that Kristina stood up to Carly’s daughter Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy). She couldn’t fathom how her dad could have done what Josslyn accused him of but has since learned the truth. On Friday, Kristina had a front row seat to another side of dear old dad.

General Hospital spoilers and rumors indicate that Kristina suffers trauma after seeing Sonny cathartically beat up Dex. It looked almost like Sonny was in his element when kicking Dex’s @$$. But how could an act so devastating and cruel look like it was commonplace to Kristina’s beloved father?

According to General Hospital spoilers, Carly grows concerned for Kristina. Her former step daughter is pregnant and any file of trauma could present harmful effects to Kristina and the baby. Carly knows Sonny all too well and that’s exactly why she’s worried about his daughter and the unborn baby. Will Carly have a warning for Sonny’s pregnant daughter?

General Hospital Spoilers: What’s Almost As Bad As Shooting Your Own Son? Sonny Could Tell You

Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) is viewed as a family man by half of Port Charles. The other half sees a ruthless mobster. As for the audience, the same applies. GH fans are split between adoring the loving father and honorable man that is Sonny Corinthos, and the fearsome gangster.

Retrospectively, there’s no doubt about Sonny’s long history of good and bad. While some remember the good and the bad, others only remember the bad. GH recaps recall the time when Sonny shot Dante Falconeri. Unbeknownst to Sonny, his old girlfriend Olivia Falconeri (Lisa LoCicero) gave birth to a baby boy. Many years later Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) showed up in Port Charles. He was an undercover cop, and Sonny didn’t know he had a so. Suddenly, one thing led to another and Sonny shot Dante! Mr. Corinthos had almost killed his own son and didn’t even know it.

GH Bloodshed! Sonny Shoots Dex

General Hospital rumors tease that history repeats itself. Back when Dante was was undercover, Sonny knew nothing of their relationship. Tragically, he pulled the trigger and shot his own son!

This time, Sonny shoots Jason’s son! Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Jason (Steve Burton), Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) is his son.

They support each other and fully trust that each has the other’s best interest at heart. Even when Christina came out sunny, supported his daughter for who she is. that’s more than we can say for Natalia.
