However, because of his playboy attitude, he did not commit to her, which caused a major twist in their storylines. Bobbie deceived Noah by faking her blindness to keep him around.

During his time away from Port Charles, he got married to Mattie and had a son, Patrick Drake, who became a neurosurgeon. However, Mattie died, and Noah blamed himself for it, which also led to a rocky relationship between the latter and Patrick.

Later, in the General Hospital in 2005, Dr. Robin Scorpio had an encounter with Noah at a bar in New York. She learnt that Noah had become an alcoholic due to the demise of his wife.

When she asked if he could lead a surgery at the Port Charles General Hospital, he refused and suggested his son might be a better option. However, Noah later returned to Port Charles with a failing liver. His son, who was his perfect match, offered to help in the transplant, but he declined. Anyhow, Patrick convinced him and they underwent the process.

During his time on Port Charles, Noah made Patrick realize that he had true feelings for Robin, and he must confess before it was too late, and left for Atlanta. Later on the soap opera, Robin and Patrick got married and welcomed their daughter Emma Scorpio Drake, and called Noah to meet her.
