General Hospital’s Ric has come a long way since he was locked in the basement. He has tried hard to prove himself, but is it too good to be true?
Key Takeaways
- Ric went from bad to good after he was released from his hostage situation.
- He made amends with Sonny and reconciled with Elizabeth.
- Jealousy of Dante may be brewing.
- Ric may end up sabotaging his relationship with Elizabeth.
Bad To Good
The old Ric (Rick Hearst) was self-destructive and even a little evil. His ultimate goal was to get revenge on his brother, Sonny (Maurice Benard), and he went to great lengths to do so. He even locked a pregnant Carly in a room with plans to steal her baby because he blamed Sonny for his then-wife Elizabeth’s (Rebecca Herbst) miscarriage. She divorced him.
After years away from Port Charles, he returned, only to be locked in Alexis’s (Nancy Lee Grahn) basement. When he was finally set free, he had an epiphany and vowed to change his ways. The attorney made amends with Sonny and even reconciled with Elizabeth, the woman he had always loved. Things are going great, but Ric may go back to his old ways and sabotage himself.
Good To Bad
Ric and Liz are going strong. She even told him that she believes they will make it this time, which is what he has always hoped for. Things are never that simple with Ric.
The attorney had a very odd look on his face when Elizabeth first mentioned that Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) rescued her from the bathroom. When she went on to defend Dante and Lulu’s (Alexa Havins) behavior regarding Britt (Kelly Theibaud) and Rocco (Finn Carr), we could see the jealousy brewing.
Was one jealous moment enough to start Ric’s descent back to his old ways? It may be. Things are going too well for him, which may make him self-destruct at the tiniest drop of a hat. The good Ric could easily let his jealousy of Dante send him down the wrong track, where he might do something stupid to keep Dante away from Liz. If the past is any indication of the future, he may lose Elizabeth just when he got her back. The guy just cannot let himself be happy.
Do you think Ric will sabotage his relationship?
