ABC's General Hospital has been on air since 1963. Recently, on the December 23, 2024, episode of the show, Alexis Davis and Ric Lansing were shown spending time together, decorating for Christmas for their daughter Molly, who was touched by their efforts. Meanwhile, fans of the show praised Alexis and Ric's lighthearted moments together.

The otherwise somber situation at Port Charles, which has been seeing several issues like Sonny's betrayal and Esme's redemption arc coming to light, was lightened by the pair and their scenes together on the show. They were playfully creative while decorating, with Ric holding up the mistletoe and Alexis slapping it away comically, and the pair adorning the Christmas tree together and even Alexis wrapping the Christmas lights all around Ric instead of the tree.

These scenes were shared on Facebook by the official account of General Hospital, and fans of the show shared their opinions regarding Alexis and Ric's antics in these scenes under the post.

"Loved these scenes. Made me laugh," said one fan.

General Hospital's Alexis's character was first introduced to the show in 1996 as a part of the powerful Cassadine family while Ric was introduced in 2002 as Sonny Corinthos's half-brother. Alexis was a headstrong and principled lawyer while Ric tended to stray toward manipulation which caused trouble for the couple during their initial romance.

Alexis's character on the show is the mother of three daughters. While she is morally upright and is seen as a virtuous person, she also has flouted rules in the past, including tampering with evidence. Her tumultuous past relationships were a cause for significant emotional turmoil for her and her cancer diagnosis also added a new layer to her character.

Ric's introduction as Sonny's half-brother was not without significant troubles either. He was extremely jealous of Sonny's success as a mob lord and had a penchant for doing dubious things. Once, he kidnapped Carly Corinthos for his own personal gain. He is also shown to work as an attorney and his and Alexis's shared efforts of parenting Molly garnered love from fans of the beloved soap opera.
