However, it seems that Ric's secrecy might not be an act of betrayal as Sonny fears. Instead, rumors suggest that Ric might be suffering from a severe blood disease, sparking a new storyline for the character. Spoilers for GH divulge that Ethan Lovett (James Ryan), who has been keeping tabs on Ric for Sonny, reported seeing Ric and Ava having an intense conversation at the Metro court. Despite Ethan's presumptions about their discussion, it appears that Ric's secret might not be harmful to Sonny. GH spoilers indicate that the suspicion around Ric escalated when he lied about his whereabouts, claiming he was at the DA's office, while he was actually with Ava. While Sonny jumped to conclusions about his brother's possible betrayal, Justine managed to convince him that Ric's secrecy may not be harmful. More GH spoilers hint that the speculation revolving around Ric's health stems from a recent storyline leak suggesting that Ric is dying of a blood disease. This speculation is supported by Ric's recent clandestine conversations with Ava, who once suffered from a similar illness. Soap Dirt has grown to the most subscribed to YouTube soap opera channel.
