Though fans know he is innocent, the citizens of Port Charles will be rocked as the news of Ric Lansing's (Rick Hearst) arrest continues to spread on General Hospital.

Fake Luke's Identity Revealed?

Ric was falsely fingered as Julian Jerome's (Michael DeVry) secret boss, and as a result, has been arrested for an assortment of various crimes, including the recent attempt to ship a boatload of illegal drugs into the city. Now, his arrest will affect several of the people around him.

The first person affected is Elizabeth (Liz Herbst), who just rekindled her relationship with him and chose being with him over being with Nikolas Cassadine (Tyler Christopher). Now, when the news of his arrest spreads, Nikolas will confront her about making a poor dating decision.

"I want you to see the truth about Ric," Nikolas says to her in a preview clip for the Monday, June 2 episode.

Someone else who will have to learn about Ric's alleged crimes will be his teenaged daughter, Molly (Haley Poulos), who will learn of his arrest from her mother, Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn).

"Your father is not Julian's lawyer," Alexis explains to her. "He's his boss."

Meanwhile, Julian's son, Lucas (Ryan Carnes) has been hospitalized following a gunshot wound at the hands of Julian's real boss-fake Luke Spencer (Anthony Geary). Whoever has been masquerading around Port Charles and pretending to be Luke, didn't react well to Julian's declaration that he was leaving the mob, and sent a hitman for revenge. Lucas wound up in the crossfire.

Now, even though he helped cover "Luke's" identity, Julian's concern for his son's well-being could result in him accidentally dropping clues about his real boss-including letting Bobbie (Jacklyn Zeman) know that despite his known connections to the mob, their son was in more danger thanks to her brother.

"Lucas is in more danger from your family than he is from mine," Julian says to her.

General Hospital airs Monday-Friday at 2 p.m. on ABC.
