 Jason and Courtney married, and Liz married Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst), Sonny's brother.Ric genuinely loved Liz, but his resentment of his brother, and growing resentment and jealousy of the role Jason played in Sonny's life, resulted in Ric committing horrible acts, including kidnapping Sonny's pregnant wife, Carly (then Tamara Braun), and hiding her in a panic room in his home with Liz.During this period, Liz defended Ric, unaware of his actions, despite Jason's attempts at warning her.
