General Hospital: Ric Lansing and Ava Jerome's current relationship dynamics
Since the beginning of the custody trial between Sonny Corinthas and Ava Jerome of Avery, Ric has been a strong, supportive figure in Ava's life. Even though he happens to be the half-brother of Sonny, he has always caused chaos in the latter's life. Sonny has been extremely protective of Avery and believes that Ava's past crimes might come forth while she takes care of Avery. He has been defending Ava in the trial against Sonny.
Recently, in the latest episode, Ric Lansing was seen making a confession to Ava Jerome in the Port Charles Grill. Despite Ric Lansing's outward optimism ahead of Ava Jerome's trial, he feared that there could be a potential fallout.
Ric's strategy was aimed at showcasing Ava as a remorseful mother. But he feared backlash from the jury. His relentless cross-examination with grieving witnesses could have painted him in a negative light.
Ric hoped for a positive outcome from the trial. He realized that Alexis Davis' emotional outburst opened a door for a potential mistrial or appeal if the verdict went against Ava.
