GH Rumors And Leaks: Ric Lansing Carrying A Deadly Secret: Character To Be Killed Off?

General Hospital (GH) spoilers point to our GH insider hearing stunning speculation about legal eagle Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) meeting a terrible fate.

If true, his demise would be made even more tragic given his recent push to become a better man for Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) and his brother Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard).

Let’s take a look at the audacious leak making the rounds BTS at GH!

Will Ric Die?

First off, let’s be clear that while our source has an excellent track record, a Ric Lansing death storyline has not been officially confirmed—but the tragic talk is making the rounds, giving credence to the rumor.

In our opinion, Ric Lansing still has game. Plenty of fans feel the same way, but very few soap characters are immune from the axe.

For example, Sonny and Laura Collins (Genie Francis) are perhaps the only two characters who are safe from a random writer’s death wish.

That being said, years ago Liz was on the chopping block until fans roared and the show took a step back.

Is Ric Lansing Dying?

After a kidnapping ordeal involving Ava Jerome (Maura West), Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) and Kristina Corinthos (Kate Mansi), Ric decided to reform himself.

Would the show kill him off after such a stark turnaround? You bet they would, it would make his death even more dramatic.

Think about it: Liz and Sonny’s grief would be even more off the charts given Ric’s effort to clean himself up.

Ric Made Amends With Alexis and Sonny

Both Elizabeth and Sonny are giving Ric another chance in their lives: Ric is representing Sonny and Liz throws axes with him.

So what are we to make of the leak that Ric is dying? First of all let’s reiterate that our source has heard rumors about this possibility—on the other hand, you know what they say—where there’s smoke there’s fire!

May Sweeps

In fact, the show seems to be setting up a few May sweeps bombshells, and Ric finding out that he’s dying could be one of them.

How dramatic would it be for Ric to discover during May sweeps that he’s dying and have this play out until the July sweeps period?

We can see Ric proposing to Liz after his deathly diagnosis which ramps up the tears and tissues scenario.

Tell us GH fans, what do you think about the possibility of Ric Lansing getting booted from the showed now that he’s in a redemption arc?
