Rick checks back into General Hospital
Here's a blast from the past: "Jessie's Girl" rocker
Rick Springfield returns to
General Hospital as Dr. Noah Drake on Dec. 2. Last seen in 1983, Noah returns for about four episodes to help Dr. Robin Scorpio (
Kimberly McCullough) treat her ex-boyfriend Jason's (
Steve Burton) brain damage. No doubt he'll also reminisce with Nurse Bobbie (
Jackie Zeman) about their long-ago romance. “I guess there was a reason why they didn’t kill Noah off in the ‘80s,"
Springfield cracks. "This should be fun. I’m looking forward to it.”
