In the latest episode of General Hospital, Cody finally found Ric in Alexis’s basement. He was kept there for quite a while, tied to the bed. The revelation has led fans to wonder something crucial about his survival, and even gave rise to many hilarious comments.

Here’s what fans are saying about this development with Ric.

General Hospital fans question how Ric survived in the basement without using a bathroom

In the latest episode of General Hospital, Cody found a gagged and bound Ric in the basement. He was kept there for weeks before Cody finally found him and freed him. This led to more drama in the latter part of the episode.

However, when fans saw Ric kept in the basement, cuffed to the bed for weeks, many immediately wondered how he survived without eating or using the bathroom. Even if Alexis brought him food, being tied in the basement still meant he had no access to the bathroom.

This raised a hilarious thread of discussion on the Facebook page, General Hospital Fans – Official. One fan started the conversation with a post that said, “How does Rick survive in the basement of the house without eating or using a bathroom in weeks?”

There were many responses to this question, with some coming from a logical standpoint and some coming from a comical one.

“I guess we’re supposed to figure that he’s eating and drinking and using the bathroom off camera. She did have something for him to drink that she was bringing him today. Although that is the first time I saw that LO.L.,” one fan responded to this. “In the land of Soaps, all bets are off,” another fan said. “As I have said several times, he goes during commercials,” one fan joked while another said, “It’s a soap opera miracle ”

Either way, this episode saw Ric finally getting free. In the latter part, he even confronted Alexis, Ava, and Kristina over this.

There is likely to be plenty of drama that unfolds over this in the coming days. Stay tuned.
