Ric later got involved with Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn), they married, and had a daughter named Molly Lansing-Davis. Ric also helped Alexis find her long-lost daughter who turned out to be Samantha McCall (Kelly Monaco). However, Ric and Alexis’ relationship was soon on the rocks, and after he and Sam commiserated about their lives, they had sex. When Alexis caught them, she dumped Ric.
Eventually, Ric became the lawyer for the Zacchara crime family, because scion Johnny Zacchara (Brandon Barash) was accused of murder. Johnny’s father, Anthony Zacchara (Bruce Weitz), was a mobster who was at war with Trevor. After Ric successfully got the young man exonerated, Johnny’s sister Claudia Zacchara (Sarah Brown) was so happy, she started an affair with him. But, Anthony made Claudia marry Sonny to seal a business deal. When she got pregnant, Ric told Sonny that he might be the father, but before finding out he moved to Los Angeles.
As the Jerome crime family, led by Julian Jerome (William deVry), tried to move in on Sonny’s territory in 2014, Ric came back to Port Charles. He claimed he was visiting Molly, but Sonny felt he was really funding the Jeromes. No one knew that Luke Spencer’s (Anthony Geary) alternate identity was secretly funding Julian’s operation, and ordered Julian to implicate Ric as head of the organization and frame him for shooting Lucas Jones (Ryan Carnes).
