Rick Springfield Returns to General Hospital
Rick Springfield is back on General Hospital. The singer is, once again, portraying Dr. Noah Drake and rock star Eli Love.
As TV Guide reports, the latter turns out to be a major ageist pig. Eli will perform a concert in Port Charles on July 29 and he'll deny to the press that he's dating his ladylove Anna (Finola Hughes, pictured with him here). The reason?
Her daughter, Robin (Kimberly McCullough), is pregnant.
"Eli is afraid it'll do damage to his career to be seen hanging out with a grandma — what will his young fans think?" Springfield said. "It was a hard thing for me to play because it's such a jerky thing to do."
He couldn't get away with this in real life.
"Are you kidding? My fans would never put up with that," the actor/singer said. "A lot of them are grandmas!"

Can't wait to see the Eli Love concert on GH - it was so much fun last year. I actually already bought from Itunes the song "What's Victoria's Secret" that I think Rick will sing on GH - it's terrific and a toe tapper, dancing dipper and plain great! I love to see Eli and Anna and Noah and Anna on screen - they're grand.
