What Does Rick Hearst’s General Hospital Poster Mean for Ric?

Every so often, General Hospital updates its pictures of the actors. In the opening credits, most of the players under contract are shown, with recurring actors’ images included if they appear in a particular episode. Rick Hearst recently gave a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the actors’ images which are hung on the walls inside the backstage area of the studio

The Perfect Shot

Rick Hearst, who plays Ric Lansing on the show, shared a video on Instagram taken in the back hallway of ABC’s studio. Panning across a wall, we could see the images of the actors hung on the wall like large posters. First, we saw Kristina Wagner (Felicia), and then beyond a door was a poster of Hearst next to John J. York (Mac). He then stopped on his own pic, remarking, “Well let’s see. What’s this? Oh! Oh ho, we have a new picture!”

His caption read, “Hey! I know that dude! 😎 He’s a little naughty AND nice. 😊 😂. #riclansing #generalhospital #daytimetv #travelingshowman #abc.” There was a surprise blast from the past when Lilly Melgar, who played Sonny’s (Maurice Benard) late wife Lily Rivera, commented: “🥰.”  While recurring actors also have photos done like his, it’s possible that hanging it on the back wall means that he’s headed to a contract, which fans would love.

A Picture Worth a Thousand Words

One fan wrote, “Sir, we want a full-time contract 🖊️,” while another followed that up with, “He lives in NJ, so he’s never gonna be a regular.” The fans were thrilled at his return as one summarized Ric’s actions thus far: “U have come back to the role guns a-blazin’! Loving every moment. Happy holidays.” More Ric on the show would definitely mean more dastardly schemes.

Another follower was truly excited, responding, “Does that mean you are here to stay?!? Yea buddy!!! Just as your role is beginning to heat up! I want a Ric and Alexis reunion! I know that sounds totally crazy but you guys are so good together! Such chemistry and the comedic timing rocks! 🤞🏼.” And one viewer was totally enthused by the newest addition to the cast photos, writing, “It’s about time we had a new Ric Lansing photo! Looking AMAZING!!!!!” (Learn about what happened between Ric and Liz (Rebecca Herbst).)
