He seemingly has inherited some of Isabella's psychotic impulses.
When asked by Nick if she was going to write about Jack, Phyllis assured him that she was not.
After he left, there was a knock on the door. Ricky stood there, looking smug.
"They got Patty," he smiled lavishly, "and I was right there with her. Up close and personal with the psycho-shooter. This story is going to be HUGE. I'm talking Pultizer, boss," he sneered, looking scintillated.
I sensed that there was a compelling reason that Ricky was so empathetic with Patty, playing with her mind.
This is his big chance, and he's going to make the most of it. Maybe even write a book . . .
I am extravagantly pleased to finally see an abundant amount of life surging through Ricky.

I'm actually looking forward to more of Ricky which is major if you consider that before this latest storyline he was mostly dead in the water....he turned on the annoying Heather and drove her out of town (good) but then eventually didn't follow thru on getting Syphillis sued and jailed (bad)...so I was beginning to wonder what his purpose was...Although I have to admit that getting Heather out of town all by itself makes me his #1 fan LOL
I do feel bad that Paul will have to deal with yet another havoc creating family member.

There a soulless quality to Ricky that I find creepy and fascinating at once...he has cold dead fish eyes, even though he is physically attractive.
Even in the midst of Adam's Grand Guignol misdeeds and atrocities, there was a hint of a conscience beating underneath it all, like when he wept on the staircase after causing Ashley's fall.

Message: I disagree with those who are saying he is being written as psycho. Rather, I think they are creating another Adam or Phyllis. Someone who is not all bad but who will stop at nothing to get what he wants.

Message: Is anyone else suspecting that TPTB may be grooming Ricky to step into Adam's shoes in the event MM goes on to bigger and better things? (Not that Ricky would be TGVN's newest longlost son but rather the town's resident young sociopath).

Message: I've been impressed with this kid's acting over the past few days, Joe! As someone who grew tired of the Patti story long ago, I was surprised to find myself hanging on every word in their scenes. I hope Ricky causes all kinds of trouble-- especially for Syphyllis.

I don't think TPTB knew what to do with Ricky there for a while.
Then it dawned on them. Hey, Isabella, his mother, was a psychotic lunatic. Lets breath some life into Ricky and turn him into an evil, blood thirsty spawn.
I feel bad for Paul though. He not only has a crazy sister, now his son may possibly be going down the same road.
