THE RICK SPRINGFIELD INTERVIEW!
Rick Springfield started playing Dr. Noah Drake in 1981. His career has spanned through music, TV and movies. Rick returned to GH in 2005 to play Dr. Noah Drake and a new character, rock star Eli Love, Art imitates life? When you are Rick Springfield it does!
I was lucky enough to be present in 2006 to see Rick perform live at the Daytime Emmys and I can tell you that it was an electric moment for everyone as he played at the Kodak Theatre.
Rick is returning to GH this summer. Recently he played a gig in my area and I had to go. I requested a short interview and was surprised and excited when Rick agreed to do it. Be sure and catch Rick on the road, he does a great show or check out his cruise in November.
Since we are celebrating Tony's 30 years as Luke Spencer, I wanted to ask Rick about working with Tony. Tony has said he is fan of Rick's. It seems to be mutual!
Check out the interview, videos, photos and all the great stuff! THANKS RICK!

THE INTERVIEW
TGN: Rick, you came on GH in 1981 during the heyday of the Luke and Laura craze, what was that like?
RS: It was crazy. Everyone wanted to be on the show or come and visit the set and it was in all the papers. Everyone was talking about the show. It was like being on THE hit night time show. The cool thing was that we were a pretty tight group as actors so there wasn't a lot of ego stuff that usually happens on a hit show.
TGN: What kind of actor is Tony Geary to work with?
RS: Tony is always there and you know he will be truthful. Soaps are a tough call for an actor because a lot of it is about line memorization and not acting, just given the limits of time etc. but I never feel that when I work with TG. He is consistently excellent.....and funny.
TGN: What have you learned from Tony as an actor?
RS: He is still a very unassuming guy, despite all his success and status in the Soap world.
TGN: Since Tony and Jackie Zeman play brother and sister, you have had a interesting part of working with them together. What was it like doing scenes with them?
RS: I only ever did a couple of scenes with them. It was tough at first because I expected so much of myself working with them, but they are both great people and they made it much easier than a nervous young Ricky Springfield thought it would be.
TGN: Rick, you are doing a cruise for the fans in November from Key West to Cozumel.(See RickSpringfield.com for all the details) How did it come about that Jackie Zeman (Bobbie Spencer) and Kimberly McCullough (Robin Scorpio) are going on the cruise with you?
RS: We thought about who my fans would want to see and they were both agreeable to do it. It's going to be a pretty amazing experience. There will be concerts and unplugged shows, Q and A sessions. Doug Davidson, (my long time friend from Y&R) will also be aboard and he is always good for a great time. John Waite ("Missing you" and the Baby's and on and on) will also be there performing, plus we've contacted a beach hotel so we can have a beach party with a bonfire on one of the nights. We'll all be mingling and signing etc. I didn't ask Tony because I know when he's not on GH he's in Amsterdam!
TGN: How has playing the two roles of Eli Love and Noah Drake stretched you as an actor?
RS: It was a lot of fun to have something like that to work with on the show. I really enjoyed it. It was a little difficult sometimes because of the speed the show is shot at. Switching accents sometimes tripped me up.
TGN: What will be happening this summer with Noah Drake and Eli Love on GH?
RS: That's what I want to know. They (the writers) keep it pretty close to their chests. It will be interesting to see which direction they take the characters and who they get involved with. I know at some point Eli / Noah/ Me will be singing my new single 'What's Victoria's Secret?" (from my new CD...released on July 29th...plug...plug.."Venus in Overdrive")
I dig you guys!
