Springhorpe? What's that?

He's not bad looking.

LOL by the title I thought it would be Rick Hearst and his son.

I thought this was about Rick Hearst as well

I don't think his son has started taping yet and I'd love it if it were Rick Hearst

His son looks a little like Agnes Dipesto's boyfriend on Moonlighting.

(that's not an insult, I thought he was kind of cute - they just remind me of each other)

Springhorpe? What's that?

If Wiki is to believed that's Rick's real last name. He might have changed it to Springfield because it sounds a little better.

I just figured it out in my head and then I read this.

LOL it was bothering me. I almost wondered if it was a fusion of last names. I just found out last year that could be done.

The last we saw of Noah, he left in mid conversation with Matt. So it's clear this regime doesn't care about Noah except for RS and his singing voice, which was used as Eli Love, not Noah. (Okay, Noah filled in once, but he also lost his sobriety doing it and left the time before last to regain it.)

So IF RS is to sing at the NB, it'll make no sense. Typical for FV/RC.

Oh, yeah: And I'm sure he'll be the latest in an ever-growing line of Sabrina ass kissers, pushing her towards his kid. Great.

Is it too obvious that I'm just not that enthused by this news? All it is is more stunt casting and still hiding that RC/FV's emperor (stories) still have no clothes (discernible plot).

I just figured it out in my head and then I read this.

I read once that he changed it to Springfield because reporters kept mispronouncing his real last name.

It's probably smart that his son chose to use it though, so people aren't so quick to accuse anyone of nepotism.

I think someone's overreacting just a smidge......

They both started filming today so they should actually appear around mid to late March.

He's going to reunite with Bobbie and they'll leave together.
