In the latest episode of *General Hospital*, Cody finally found Ric hidden in Alexis’s basement. Ric had been kept there for quite some time, tied to the bed and gagged. This chilling revelation has sparked intense curiosity among fans, leading to a flood of reactions—some serious, others downright hilarious.
### Fans Question How Ric Survived Without Bathroom Access
Upon seeing Ric confined in the basement for weeks, many viewers immediately pondered the practicalities of his survival. How did he manage without eating properly or using a bathroom? Even if Alexis brought him food, being cuffed to a bed far from any facilities raised some important questions.
A lively discussion began on the *General Hospital Fans Official* Facebook page when one fan posted,
“How does Ric survive in the basement of the house without eating or using a bathroom for weeks?”
### A Mix of Logical and Humorous Responses
The responses ranged from logical explanations to cheeky soap-opera humor:
– “I guess we’re supposed to figure that he’s eating and drinking and using the bathroom off camera. She did bring him something to drink today, although that was the first time I noticed,” one fan suggested.
– Another chimed in, “In the land of Soaps, all bets are off.”
– A particularly funny comment read, “As I have said several times, he goes during commercials.”
– And a fan summed it up nicely with, “It’s a soap opera miracle ❤️.”
### Ric’s Long-Awaited Freedom and Confrontation
Regardless of the bathroom mysteries, the episode marked an important turning point as Ric finally broke free from his captivity. Later in the episode, he confronted Alexis, Ava, and Kristina about his ordeal, adding more drama and intensity to the storyline.
This development has definitely kept fans talking, blending suspense and humor in true soap opera fashion. Stay tuned to *General Hospital* for more twists and turns!
