Kathleen Gati Returns To General Hospital
General Hospital fans got the news they’ve been waiting for: Kathleen Gati is officially returning as the iconic Dr. Liesl Obrecht!
Gati’s last appearance aired on December 12, 2023, and fans have been clamoring for her ever since. In her interview, the actress expressed heartfelt gratitude to viewers who never gave up on her.
“The love and loyalty expressed to me over this past year-and-a-half that I have not been on General Hospital has been overwhelming,” she shared. “The fans have been faithful, loyal, begging me to return, continuously asking when, oh when will I return. I am truly grateful and so happy that I can bring some story and entertainment back to them again through Obrecht! It means a lot to me. This is why I became an actor, to entertain people through story and characters.”
She also offered a special message directly to her devoted supporters:
“I have so much gratitude, appreciation and love for all my fans! Over the past thirteen years, each individual message has meant so much, even if I don’t or can’t respond to them all. The love, the support, the loyalty, the excitement upon my possible return, it touches my heart in a way I cannot truly express.”
Obrecht’s larger-than-life personality and unforgettable schemes have made her a fan favorite in Port Charles. As she re-enters the canvas, viewers can expect drama, intrigue, and plenty of sharp-tongued one-liners.
Welcome home, Liesl — General Hospital just wasn’t the same without you!
