Rick Springfield's Eli Love leaves town!

General Hospital

July 31st 2008

Eli takes another beating!

We pick up where we left off yesterday where Eli is having a confrontation with Trish. Anna steps up and asks her to move out of the way. Eli says at least someone has some bloody sense and then wham! He doesn't know what hit him, but we do! Anna drop kicks him to the ground. Trish says she wishes she could have done that. "My pleasure" Anna responds. Watching it was just as good Trish assures her. It was all she needed and goes to collect her son. Eli tries to call after Trish and feels the pain. Robin steps up and asks him if he is feeling his age? He thinks he broke something, his ego, Anna informs him.

Father to be knows best?

Patrick sees Eli go down and comes over. "Before we scoop you up off the floor and boot you out of here I have something to say to you" Patrick says. "Having Fun" Eli asks. This is about as good as it gets Patrick says then gives him a lecture about fatherhood. By this time Noah has joined Robin & Anna. He asks what is going on. Eli is insisting to Patrick that Trish knew the deal. Patrick lays into Eli that when you create another person, they have a right to expect certain things from you. He should get to know him, take time out of the glamours lifestyle. Noah looks on in amazement and also proud. Patrick tells him "You are exactly what women hate about men"

See ya!

Eli has been picked up and put in a wheelchair to leave. "Hope your not having any regrets" are his parting words to Anna. She responds with a "Who me? The only thing I regret is trying to get to know the man behind the musician" Noah says to Anna, Patrick & Robin that he thinks Eli suffered more brain damage than they originally thought last summer. He will never find anyone as amazing as you Anna, Noah quietly says. Anna blushes. Meanwhile, Eli is sent packing out of the hospital. Anna can't believe it took her so long to see it. Noah says they all fell for it. Noah then turns to Patrick to say He'll never know where Patrick found out about the stuff he told Eli but if he puts it into practice he will be a great father.

Round two

Patrick & Robin are sitting in the waiting area and he asks her what she thinks. She wants to know where they went to dinner. She is worried. Here we go again Patrick says. They are not going to do this. Patrick and Robin should be worried because Anna & Noah are sitting on a park bench together. Noah thinks Anna will miss the rockstar in time. No he assures him. She doesn't regret it at all she insists. She then asks Noah if he knows what she is thinking. Last summer she tells him. She continues when she was attracted to Noah because she thought he looked like Eli. Yeah, Noah says sheepishly. "Maybe I was attracted to Eli because he looks like you" Anna admits to him. Noah says he should probably say something noble at this point. What the hell and he leans in and kisses her!

Stay tuned to see where that kiss leads!

Rick Springfield on the CBS Early Show

CBS Early Show

Photos by: Pam Geiger

Well New York week came to an official close this morning with Rick's last morning appearance on the CBS Early show. Rick & the guys performed in the studio but Rick came out to greet the fans and sign autographs and take pictures. There was a youth group, People to People, I believe was the name. They had 300 teenage girls, and I have to say just about all of them knew Jessie's Girl and sang along to the performance. They got very excited that Rick would sign and take pictures. He was truly interested in them as well, asking them questions about thier organization.

Rick Springfield as Eli Love on General Hospital!

General Hospital

July 30th 2008

Mothers & Daughters

Robin & Anna are at the Metro Court for breakfast and Robin isn't sure Anna wants to speak to her after last night. Anna assures her she loves her but Robin's little set up last night was probably one of the most embarrassing things that have happened to her. They have another heart to heart as Robin explains her reasons and Anna says its not necessary as long as Robin believes in her. Anna doesn't give a damn what Eli thinks!

A trip to the hospital

Eli and his managers head to GH to look for Robin. Chip tells Eli he has to go now, they don't have time for this. Eli insists he isn't going anywhere until he sees Anna and takes off after Epiphany when she walks by. Epiphany is having none of it though. Eli inquires about Robin's whereabouts and Epiphany informs him that Dr Scorpio is not in. He wants to know when she will be in. Epiphany asks him if he is sick? "Do you require medical attention?"If not Epiphany suggests he get his butt back on the elevator and stop wasting her time and walks away. Eli tries to plead with Epiphany that Robin is the only one that can convince Anna....."That your an ass?" Epiphany asks. Eli responds with a confused look. "What is wrong with everybody? So I freaked out she was to be a grandma?" He goes on to explain she has already proved she is way more than a grandma! His managers continue to try to get him to leave but Eli refuses to go without Anna. Just then Anna & Robin come off the elevator. Eli rushes over to her and wants to talk to her. Anna informs him she has already heard everything "Not this" Eli pleads with her. He wants her in his life he tells her. Robin walks over say her mother isn't interested in anything he has to say. But Anna is curious. "I wouldn't go that far" she will hear him out. Eli asks Robin to excuse them.

Don't Walk away

Eli starts by thanking her for the save last night. It was amazing he tells her. "Happy to help. Is that it?" She wants to know. "I don't want it to end like this, I don't want it to end at all" he begs. He can handle her being a grandmother, he just can't handle her walking out of his life. Just then a woman and a young boy walk off the elevator toward Eli. Eli has his back to her as she says "Why don't you say hi to your father"

Fathers and sons?

Eli begs his managers to help him. "You know the deal Trish" One of them says and goes on to remind her that if she comes anywhere Eli she forfeits child support. "Go have a seat, Trish tells the boy, I need to have a word with your dad alone" The boy goes over to the waiting area where Robin promptly joins him to distract him. She tells him her name and asks his. Elijah he responds. Patrick sees the adults getting into it and joins Robin to keep Elijah distracted. He talks to him about the race cars he is playing with. Meanwhile, the adults are having an unpleasant conversation. Eli lays into Trish, bringing the kid here and throwing him in his face won't get her a penny more he hisses. She didn't come for more money she insists. He wanted to meet his father!

15 minutes

Eli says 15 minutes in the back of the tour bus doesn't qualify him to be his father. Anna looks on taking all this in. Its a little late in the game to expect Eli to step up Chip says.

Stay tuned......

Rick Springfield Rocks Port Charles!

Backstage

We start off back stage at Eli Love's concert. Robin and Patrick are discussing where Anna is, Eli walks up to Patrick and Robin and says hello. Patrick thanks him for the passes. Eli says "you're welcome, no hard feeling but you did damage the merchandise and in this business faces matter, so I gave you the back stage passes on the condition that you would bring Anna. Is she here?" Robins says "I was under the impression that you wanted nothing to do with her because she is about to become a Granny? So..... Why would you care if she was here or not?" Eli starts to answer and Anna comes from behind and says "I'd like to know the answer to that one myself!"

Eli takes Anna off to the side and says " Anna I am so glad that you decided to grace me with your presence." Anna responds "yeah I almost didn't because quite frankly you're an Ass! And I have better things to do, but a good friend of mine reminded me I don't have to like you to enjoy your music!" Eli "are you still mad at my little faux pas?" Anna "Do you even know what what that means? You dismiss me as too old for a perennial adolescence such as yourself. Eli responds with " I apologize from my heart, the thing is Anna I'm crazy about you and if you doubt that then consider the fact that I got my jaw pounded on, not once but twice in your honor. I still want you back stage." Anna "Well that's saying something isn't it?" Eli ... "look what I said was really, really rude and disrespectful. I don't know it was, a spur of the moment thing, I got caught up in it but I'd like a second chance with you." Anna "I don't know why I should, you know fool me once and all that. But I guess you're allowed one egregious mistake. Besides I hear your new single is pretty cool!" Eli gets excited "I'm so excited for you to hear it!" The road manager comes up and tells Eli 5 minutes ..... Eli tells Anna "my favorite part of the show 5 minutes before I go on, can you feel the excitement?" Then he puts his arm around Anna and they walk away.

The Plan

Robin has a plan ........ Max walks up to Robin and Patrick and Robin said she was afraid he wouldn't get in. Max asks if she still wants to follow through with her plan. Patrick says to Max "are you sure you do? You know you are taking order from pregnant hormonal woman?" And then Robin says all you have to do is kidnap Eli at gun point ...... and the scene cuts away.

Rockin Port Charles

We return to Eli in concert and he says "I want to dedicate this song to a very special lady and I think she knows who she is" .... and he smiles at Anna. Eli breaks into "What's Victoria's Secret?" (which happens to be the new single off of Rick Springfield's new CD "Venus in Overdrive") The song goes over great, Anna is happy and then some chick comes running onto the stage and jumps into Eli's arms and wraps herself around him ...... Robins responds this "oh no this is war!"

The Plan In Action

Anna and Robin are outside are waiting for Patrick .... Anna asks "why are we waiting here by Eli's limo? The last thing I want to do is see that Jack Ass again!" Robin says "because I feel safe here, you know those Eli Love fans they are crazy!" In comes Eli followed by the paparazzi, Eli thanks them and then notices Anna next to the car. Eli asks "Did you like the show?" Anna says "I hope your girlfriend liked it, she looks kinda old for you what is she, 24?" Eli "Oh, you gotta be kidding me, it was a little bit of on stage fun, I hardly know the girl." Anna mimics Eli "a little bit of on stage fun." Behind her two masked men come up to Eli with guns .... one says "come quietly Mr. Love there is no reason for this to get ugly." Eli "you got to be freaking kidding me?" Then Anna finally notices and kicks both of their butts! Eli was stunned and tells Anna that she is amazing!

Sometimes.), but to tell you the truth, there's someone on the schedule this week that has us too excited to mess around. Yes, that's right. The long wait is over. He's back. "He who?," you ask? Why Dr. Noah Drake of course! Everyone done screaming? Good. Yes kids, Rick Springfield is back with a new album, Venus in Overdrive, and you can catch him performing a track from it Tuesday on "Live with Regis and Kelly." Is this a great country or what? Oh and there some other people on TV this week too............
