I grew up with sisters. That means I grew up having to watch various soap operas. One sister enjoyed the NBC dramas, like Days of Our Lives, the other two tended to gravitate to the ABC shows: All My Children, One Life to Live, and, of course, General Hospital. (As an aside: if Apple wants to grab a good audience for their video-capable iPod, they should offer soap operas.)
Anyhoo, I watched GH back in the late 70s to early 80s, and have just learned that Rick Springfield is returning to the show, playing good old Dr. Noah Drake. Looks like Robin Scorpio is back, too. And I kinda can’t wait. I’m a sucker for old characters returning to anything: TV shows, music, movies, and comic books (just last week, a major character returned to the DC Comics universe, yay; and Kate Bush has a new single and video out, as well as a new album coming).
They better have him and Bobbie get back together, though! And while they are at it, bring back Robert Scorpio.

Responses to “Rick Springfield Returns to General Hospital”
GENERAL HOSPI-TALE
by the Afternoon Delights
Rock it hard Rock it steady
Pick yourself up and get yourself ready
Wave your arms, let me hear you yell
We’re gonna rap about General Hospital
It started out in Port Charles town
Frank Smith’s mob used to hang around
No one could prove that he was a crook
Til Luke stole his little black book
It had names and numbers all in code
So Luke and Laura had to hit the road
They had to find the left-handed boy
Watch their step they had to be coy
The gold involved was worth so much
Others wanted it like Sally and Hutch
There’s one thing I must confess
Sally was a man who wore a dress
Luke kept his cool, he ain’t no fool
He set them both up cold
Well Sally died, Hutch survived
And no one got the gold
Paging Dr. Noah Drake to ICU to treat a case of heartbreak
CHORUS:
They keep me waiting
I don’t mind waiting
Dont’t call me crazy
No I’m not lazy
My day won’t go right
I can’t sleep all night
My hands are shaking
My knees are quaking
I just can’t cope, without my soap
General Hospi-tale
General Hospi-tale
General Hospi-tale you’re my worst affliction
General Hospi-tale you’re my favorite addiction
Monica likes to have her fun
That is why she had a son
She told Rick he was the dad
Soon found out that he’d been had
There’s one thing that you can give me that Lesley can’t and that’s passion
Alan was the father of course
And he won’t give Monica a divorce
Rick wants to get Lesley back
Heather’s having an insane attack
I’ll get Diana Taylor
She’s not crazy uh uh no never
She just wants to get Dr. Jeff Webber
Jeff wants Annie for his wife
And he might have to wait all of his life
Cause good girls don’t
And Annie won’t, and you all know what I mean
CHORUS
Amy Vining likes to blab
Richard Simmons helps fight flab
Susan’s having Alan’s baby
Noah wants Bobbie for his lady
Well Luke got another job
The Quartermaines are the brand new mob
Laura’s the receptionist
What’s missing now is the Ice Princess
Yes, Luke Spencer please
Diamonds not gold are in it this time
Scorpio, the House of Cassadine
On and on and on it goes
How it ends up nobody knows
CHORUS
