General Hospital finally having Ric and Sonny bond like brothers has been a refreshing change for fans who didn’t know they needed these two as pals. However, it’s hard not to wonder if this is a too-good-to-be-true situation that will blow up in everyone’s face soon.
Key Takeaways
- Sonny and Ric are a delight to watch.
- GH fans can’t get enough of the brothers.
- The real deal or trouble on the horizon.
The New Dream Team Was Not Expected
Never in a million years did we think it was possible that GH would have Ric (Rick Hearst) and Sonny (Maurice Benard) go from sworn enemies to a brotherly bond that has them working together.
Watching it unfold, though, has been pure soap bliss. Benard and Hearst’s dynamic is beyond entertaining. They always leave GH fans wanting more of Sonny and Ric, even when they weren’t in a good place.
This new dynamic is a twist that not only can we get behind, but that GH fans can, too. Seriously, who would have thought Sonny would take business away from legal eagle Diane (Carolyn Hennesy) and give it to Ric? Sonny did just that to prove the strength of his relationship with his brother.
Along with that, Sonny revealed more details to Ric about Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) and Sidwell (Carlo Rotta) following Jason’s (Steve Burton) arrest than we ever would have expected him to. The more they trust each other and work together, the more fans can’t stop stalking about his new GH dream team.
Social media has been abuzz every time Ric and Sonny have a moment on the ABC soap,
“GH The brother team we never saw coming, but always hoped for! Ric is all in and going nowhere! Love Ric and his wink at the end,” shared a fan on X.
Another fan added, “Ric and Sonny have been enemies for so long that watching them unite is so full circle of course the tension is still there, but so is a mutual understanding Rick and Maurice are so great together.”
It’s easy to see that Ric is quickly becoming one of Sonny’s most trusted confidantes and right-hand, while Jason is away. All of the bonding between Ric and Sonny raises the question of whether this will last.
This is Sonny and Ric we are talking about. One of them double-crossing the other isn’t out of the realm of possibility. There’s also the notion that this brotherly bond could end badly because something happens to one of them.
Sidwell is out for blood following Marco’s (Adrian Anchondo) death, and Sonny is public enemy number one. In true soap fashion, Sidwell could very easily hurt or use Ric to get back at Sonny. Whether it is physically or through a lie that pits them against each other, it could happen.
GH isn’t known for keeping the peace, which makes us certain the other shoe will drop soon between Sonny and Ric. For now, though, we are just going to enjoy watching these two brothers act like family.
