Sonny Breaks News to Diane<\/p>\n
Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) has known about Sonny\u2019s (Maurice Benard) decision to bring Ric (Rick Hearst) on to handle his not-so-legal dealings, and now, it was time to break it to Diane (Carolyn Hennesy). During a meeting, when Diane mentioned paperwork regarding piers, Sonny assured her she didn\u2019t have to take care of it. And when Diane fought him on it, he admitted he assigned that legal matter to another attorney.<\/p>\n
Diane being the strong, outspoken woman she is, didn\u2019t go down without a fight. She reminded Sonny of how much she\u2019s done for him and how long she\u2019s worked for him, but Sonny told her he simply wanted to bring his brother Ric (Rick Hearst) on to handle those dealings.<\/p>\n
Diane went on to question Sonny\u2019s decision, considering Ric has been against Sonny for decades. But Sonny is determined to give his brother a chance, and keep Diane on for other legal matters, and there\u2019s no arguing when Sonny wants what he wants.<\/p>\n
Ric\u2019s True Motives Revealed <\/p>\n
Meanwhile, after Ric assured Alexis he\u2019s a changed man, he met Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) for dinner, where he told her he\u2019ll be staying on as Sonny\u2019s attorney. Then he revealed the true reason why he wants to work for his brother.<\/p>\n
Her. \u201cI\u2019ve got to have a stable job if I want to put down roots here in Port Charles, and I want to do that with you,\u201d he admitted to her. Ric has been fighting for Elizabeth\u2019s heart from the second both he and Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) returned to Port Charles. But with Lucky once again out of the picture, Ric sees this as his best shot with the woman he loves. That is, if Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) doesn\u2019t swoop in and steal her. <\/a><\/p>\n
