What’s Next for Ric Lansing on GH?
The General Hospital star recently shared an Instagram post giving us a taste of Ric’s new look. And boy, is it something to behold! Rick was posing in a sleek, pale blue shirt paired with a sharp maroon tie. He penned, “Slid into this guy’s skin again, pretty easily. Of course, the suit helps.” Moreover, the soap stalwart used hashtags like “daddy’s back,” “lawyered up,” and “Michael Kors.”
There’s no denying that Ric Lansing is not only back but is also dressed to the nines. The suit makes Ric look every bit the part of the charming and sophisticated lawyer we’ve adored. Meanwhile, fans and Hearst’s co-stars quickly flooded the comments with their enthusiastic reactions. Kin Shriner (Scott) chimed in cheerfully, “Yes, Rick, once in costume, half the work.”
Additionally, Kathleen Gati (Obrecht) gave a thumbs up with a “Looking good!” Tonja Walker (Olivia Jerome) and Tamara Braun, known for her roles on GH and DOOL, both shared their excitement. Tonja commented, “You look great, Rick,” and Tamara echoed, “Lookin’ good, Rick! Xoxo.” Before this stylish reveal, Rick had shared another post of himself outside the soap studio.
Hearst proudly pointed to the iconic sign with the caption, “Ric Lansing is back on the canvas!” He added, “Raise your hand if you’re excited to see what Rick Hearst has in store for Port Charles.” And let’s be honest, our hands are up in the air! We’re beyond thrilled to see Ric’s return. For those who might need a refresher, let’s talk about Ric Lansing.
The character first appeared on the ABC soap on November 8, 2002. After leaving in June 2009, Rick made a few comebacks but stepped away again in July 2016. Now, after a few years away, Rick is set to bring Ric back into the mix starting this August. We can’t wait to see how he’ll shake things up in Port Charles!
