A MONSTER IS UNLEASHED ON PORT CHARLES
The nightmare in Alexis Davis‘s basement is officially over for Ric Lansing, but it’s just beginning for the rest of Port Charles. After weeks of being drugged and chained to a gurney, the vengeful lawyer has finally broken free. But this isn’t the same Ric who was dragged down those stairs. Captivity has twisted his mind, creating a dangerous obsession with the one woman he could never truly have: his ex-wife, Elizabeth Baldwin. Now, an unhinged Ric is on the loose, and his twisted fantasy is about to collide with a terrifying reality.
What Happens to Ric Lansing on General Hospital?
Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) escapes his basement prison and immediately goes after one of his captors, Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn). After cleverly spitting out a sedative given to him by Ava Jerome (Maura West), Ric broke his restraints and freed himself. The freedom-crazed lawyer didn’t waste a second. Spoilers confirm that his first act is one of pure vengeance, as he is seen holding a knife to a terrified Alexis’s throat. The power has shifted, and Ric is ready to make his ex-wife and her co-conspirator Ava pay for every single moment of his torturous ordeal.

It’s unclear if Ric Lansing will successfully force a reunion, but spoilers confirm he is headed straight for Elizabeth Baldwin (Rebecca Herbst), driven by a dangerous psychological break. While held captive, Ric’s mind shattered, creating a fantasy world where Elizabeth — the very woman he once abused and terrorized — was his comforting savior. He is operating under the delusion that she is his safe harbor, the person who will welcome him back. A “significant moment” is coming for the two, but will it be the romantic reunion his broken mind craves?
