Rick Springfield Returns!

With all this depressing talk about General Hospital’s uncertain future (do we really want it to

run in primetime?), the soap’s fans can certainly use some good news. Fortunately, we’re happy to oblige.

EW has learned exclusively that Rick Springfield will reprise his role as Dr. Noah Drake for a few episodes beginning in March. He’s back in Port Charles to see his son Dr. Patrick Drake (Jason Thompson).

Springfield will return to the set in February.

If GH fans will recall, Noah hightailed it out of town in 2008 because of his drinking and need for serious help.

Springfield has come and gone from the soap before: He returned to the show in 2005 after his original run began in the early 80s.

Speaking of comings and goings, Finola Hughes (Anna Devane Scorpio Lavery Scorpio) is also returning to the sudser. She began taping last week for a mid-February return.

I'm very excited for this. I assume it has something to do with Robin's exit. I'm just waiting to hear about Sean, Tiffany and Felicia please....

He's back for Robin, Maybe he'll perform at the Nurses Ball.

I would hope Noah is back to support his son after Robin 'dies' which I assume is still happening

Yawwwnnn. I thought it was someone important

I hope his face work has gotten better.

This will be the first time he meets Matt right?

He was never a fave of mine nor would he be a vet people would clammer for but I think its appropriate for the upcoming arc.

That happened 3 and a half years ago

Really, only 2 episodes?

I had forgotten Matt had been on that long.

The OLTL invasion continues!!! Bring back Guza & Wolf! In all seriousness, this is nice. Cartini were very good at bringing people back, even if it was only for short term. I like that in those years we got to see so many former characters, especially the occasional one you never expected to see again. I hope they hold off on bringing Bobbie back and give her a final story to showcase Bobbie after so much years of service. I don't want her back in the background. Jump head-first in supporting her family, then segue into her own story. This is (most likely) the end, so I want to see these swan songs.

just enough for a funeral and some brief catch up. He isnt needed beyond that

Most of the short term returns were usually meaningless (or the character died and everyone forgot two days later). I think what they're doing with Hughes and Rogers has more potential.

Except for when they bring Bobbie back and finally give her another love story? Perfect.
