Character History

Noah Drake arrived at General Hospital and quickly developed a reputation of being a playboy doctor. Young, handsome, successful and charming were just a few of his attributes that attracted the women of Port Charles including nurse, Bobbie Spencer. Having just gotten over the death of her fiancé, Roy DiLucca. Frustrated by Noah's inability to tell her that he loved her, Bobbie took desperate measures to keep Noah. She faked blindness in an effort to gain his affection. Unfortunately, in the end, the lie spelled the end of their relationship. On the rebound from his failed relationship with Bobbie, Noah took an interest in sexy Tiffany Hill. When Bobbie returned to work, Tiffany was the only one not happy to see her back at General Hospital. She had good reason to worry about Bobbie. Bobbie and Noah briefly reconciled. After their relationship ended for a final time, Noah tried to seduce Tiffany. Tiffany and Noah started to make love but at the last moment, Tiffany pulled away.

Noah left town when he was offered a new surgical position in Atlanta, but years later, Robin Scorpio found him drunk in a bar not far from Port Charles. She convinced him to return to Port Charles to check out Jason Morgan's case. Noah realized he just wasn't up to operating on Jason, but he had an alternative -- his son, Dr. Patrick Drake. Noah and Patrick had been estranged since the death of Patrick's mother, which had sent Noah in a downward spiral into the bottle, and left him with a failing liver. After the operation, both Patrick and Noah chose to stick around Port Charles and try to patch up their broken relationship, but Noah's refusal to accept part of Patrick's liver to save his own life drove a wedge between the two men again.
