General Hospital Comings and Goings: Rick Hearst BACK At GH As Ric Lansing

General Hospital spoilers tease that the surrogacy story is about to become even more complicated with the arrival of Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst). As long-time viewers know, Ric has quite a few connections in Port Charles.

Hearst will report for duty on July 29th with his first scenes airing the week of August 19th. In an interview with TV Insider, Hearst explained that Ric’s return will tie into his daughter Molly Lansing-Davis’ (Kristen Vaganos).

Molly and her partner TJ Ashford (Tajh Bellow) are currently expecting a baby via a surrogate, Molly’s half-sister Kristina Corinthos-Davis (Kate Mansi).

Throughout the course of her pregnancy, Kristina has gotten attached to the baby she’s carrying. She’s actually also the egg donor so in the state of New York, the baby belongs to her unless she signs over the rights.

As the due date gets closer, Kristina may decide she wants the baby herself. With Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) caught between both of her daughters, Ric will certainly be totally in Molly’s corner. But Ric will likely be involved in several other characters’ lives.
