Current: Neurosurgeon
Noah Drake was General Hospital's resident playboy doctor for a number of years. In his younger days, he attracted a multitude of Port Charles' ladies including Bobbie Spencer. Noah, being adverse to commitment, steered clear of her, even when she faked blindness to try to gain his attention.
Noah had a slight interest in Tiffany Hill, and although she was hopeful that something permanent might develop, Noah and Bobbie reconciled for a brief time. When the two finally called it quits and Noah tried to seduce Tiffany, she had lost all interest.
Noah departed GH for a new surgical position in another city, but several years later, Robin Scorpio found him drunk in a bar not far from Port Charles. Since the death of his wife, he had been on a drunken bender, not able to salvage his relationship with his son and unable to face his own state of ill health - a diseased liver.
At the time, Jason was suffering from a strange illness, and Robin somehow convinced Noah to return to consult on the case. Noah and his son both were instrumental in curing Jason, and Noah hung around to try to mend fences with Patrick. When Noah refused part of Patrick's liver to save his life, the gap between the two got even wider. Their relationship is strained each time their paths cross.
Patrick and Robin's relationship has brought him closer to his son, Robin, and her mother Anna.

At GH, Noah is in Matt's room making medical suggestions. Matt says that it's too late to play daddy to him. Patrick speaks up and supports Matt's point of view, but Matt doesn't want him around either. Later, Robin goes in to see Matt. She tells him to drop his attitude toward Patrick because his experience with Noah wasn't all that much better than Matt's. She explains that it took a lot for Patrick to accept Noah back into his life and now he has chosen to defend him instead of his father.
Anna sits with Noah in the lounge. He asks if she is disgusted with him, and she says that it's sad but it would be sadder if he started to drink again. Noah says that he has considered it and Anna tells him that would just trash the rest of his life, too. She says that she has a feeling he can do a heck of a lot better than that.
At GH, Noah tells Matt that they only share DNA. Patrick comes right into the room and asks if Matt Hunter is Noah's son. He asks Matt how long he's known, and Matt says all of his life. Patrick asks Noah if his mother knew? Noah says that his mother knew that he wasn't always faithful, that's all. He explains that when Matt's mother Donna got pregnant, they agreed that she would move to Albuquerque and he would share financial responsibilities until the baby was 18. Patrick asks Matt how many times Noah tried to get in touch with him. "Including today? Once." Matt reports. Anna comes in and asks why they are all so tense? Noah tells her that Matt is his son.
