General Hospital has confirmed that fitness and weight loss guru Richard Simmons will be returning to the show for its 50th anniversary celebration.
Over the weekend, Simmons posted a picture of himself on Twitter in which he is wearing a purple tracksuit with "Nurses Ball 2013" emblazoned on the jacket in sequins.
"I'm sending you a big smile. I have a secret and you'll know soon," Simmons wrote in a caption for the photo.
General Hospital's head writer, Ron Carlivati, later made a Twitter post of his own, teasing that the Nurses Ball is "coming," and attached Simmons' photo.
