The Dr. McDreamy of Daytime TV

There’s a new doctor in town on “General Hospital: Night Shift,” and he’s making pulses race.

Jason Thompson, a.k.a. Dr. Patrick Drake, is 30 years old, single and a dead-ringer for 80s heartthrob and returning cast member Rick Springfield – who plays his father!

“It is a compliment. You know, the guy is still a rock star,” says Jason.

Born and raised in St. Albert, Canada, Jason was discovered by a modeling agent when he was an 18-year-old bus boy.

But he admits his early acting gigs weren’t so glamorous!

“I was on MTV’s ‘Undressed.’ I was handcuffed to a bed wearing women's panties! It was an acting job. I basically took what I could get at that point also,” he admits.

Here’s just one more reason this bachelor would make a great catch: he wants to treat a woman like a queen.

“Hopefully, I can treat someone the way they deserve to be treated,” Jason says.

But the right girl will also need a sense of humor, especially in the morning.

“I always wake up in a good mood and get up early, but come ten thirty or eleven o'clock, I'm pretty much asleep,” jokes the sexy soap hunk.

So what’s the craziest thing this hot actor has done to impress a girl?

“Probably says a lot about why I'm still single! I haven't done a lot too crazy yet!” he admits.

Well, Jason, maybe you just haven’t found the right girl yet.

I am beyond thrilled for Jason to finally get profiled by Extra! The man is simply gorgeous-it truly is mind boggling that he oculd be single. Ya’ll are awesome for calling on this Canadian hottie though! I hope that Jason one day finds an incredible woman and maybe that day will be sooner rather than later thanks to this piece! Thank you again for profiling our “Dr. Hottie” Extra!!

Great guy, I met him. Hard to believe he’s an actor. Hope he stays humble and kind.

Thank you for adding him to this list. He’s deserving of it.

Um - Jason Thompson is not dating his co-star - can we please leave the crazy soap speculation where it belongs?

That being said - yay for Extra profiling him!!

Yes, I agree. Jason’s heart is standing next to him in the last scene and her name is Kimberly. Their chemistry is beyond the characters they play. They’re hot, sexy, fun, flirty and very attracted to one another. Whether you see them on the show or have met them in real life, it’s very clear. I adore them and love watching them interact because it’s so obvious they’re in love. To me, anyways.

This guy’s single?? I’d tell Jason to look to the brunette in that last clip there. Their chemistry/vibe just jumped right out the screen!! With his looks/personality I’m sure she’s take him right off the market! Or I’d be happy to oblige!!

Great feature…I’ll be sure to tune into General Hospital!!

Jason is a great actor. He’s brought so much to his character and to GH. I’m a loyal GH watcher because of his character.

JT is definitely a great catch. I hope he finds what he’s looking for both in his career and his personal life.

Well, I’m not surpised to see him on this list - what took you so long? He keeps getting better and better as an actor. I love his character Patrick and I love Scrubs (aka: Patrick and Robin on General Hospital)

My daughter and I met Jason while he was on The View with Billy Dee Williams. I didn’t know who he was, but my daughther quickly fixed that for me. He was so gracious to members of the audience after he was done his segment. Very real and had no ego whatsoever. I was so impressed.

I’m sure finding the right gal won’t be a problem.

Gorgeous. Modest too with the story about MTV Undressed. Sexy with a sense of humor. I’ll take him off the market.

You don’t have to do anything crazy to get the “right” girls attention Jason, just remember that.

Be yourself and everything will fall into place. Jason is definitely dreamy and I couldn’t agree more with having him on this list. Thank you for adding him on.

Jason Thompson is hot. He is the reason I started watching GH again after so many years. I have met him in person twice and he is very gracious to his fans.
