Rick Hearst set to return to GH

Another General Hospital favorite is headed back to the show. Emmy winner Rick Hearst will return later this month. Hearst has also appeared on The Bold and the Beautiful, Days of our Lives, Guiding Light, and The Young and the Restless.

Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing) is headed back to Port Charles. Soaps In Depth reports that the Emmy-winning actor will be back later this month to reprise the role he created in 2002.

It's been more than a year since Sonny's brother was last spotted in Port Charles -- and unfortunately, it doesn't appear that Ric will be in town all that long. But Hearst remains on recurring status with the ABC soap, so the door is always open for future appearances.

Look for Hearst's first appearance on April 25.
