General Hospital (GH) spoilers reveal that another familiar face is set to make a comeback at the ABC soap. Rick Hearst is set to reprise his role as Ric Lansing, so fans can expect to see him on-screen again during the week of August 19 according to TV Insider.
Ric was last seen on the show in 2016, so many viewers are eager to see him come home to Port Charles for some new drama.
Since Ric is Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) half-brother and Molly Lansing-Davis’ (Kristen Vaganos) dad, his return feels quite timely.
Ric will get tangled up in the surrogacy mess involving his own daughter and Sonny’s daughter, Kristina Corinthos-Davis (Kate Mansi).
Kristina’s due date is in August, so it’ll be interesting to see what happens once the baby she’s carrying finally arrives.
Of course, Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) will be part of the action as well since this story involves two of her daughters and a couple former flames!
The show’s gearing up for plenty of dramatic scenes, so we can all look forward to the soapy complications.
Molly is definitely going to need her father once his surrogacy situation blows up, so Ric will support her as best as he can.
Sonny is set to spin out even more due to the placebos he’s taking, so that could add fuel to the fire when it comes to his future faceoffs with Ric Lansing.
After the news broke, Rick Hearst posted a video on Instagram to confirm that he’s indeed headed back to ABC’s GH.
Hearst revealed that he was “super excited” about this return, which he called “a pleasant gift and a surprise.”
The show is also bringing back Bryan Craig (Morgan Corinthos) for one episode in August – and Jonathan Jackson is set to reprise the role of Lucky Spencer later this summer, too.
Now that Rick Hearst is returning as Ric Lansing, it really seems like GH is making an effort to shake things up with some long-awaited comebacks.
