The Saddest News Ever: Liesl Obrecht’ Heartfelt Announcement Stuns General Hospital Fans
Kathleen Gati is one of the most loved cast members of General Hospital. She is famous for portraying Liesl Obrecht on the ABC sudser. Despite her popularity with the GH fan base, it has been a while since we saw her last.
Kathleen’s memorable stint as Liesl was during Willow’s cancer storyline. She donated her bone marrow to save Willow’s life. Many fans would remember that the General Hospital storyline involved the iconic Victor Cassadine kidnapping Liesl right before the bone marrow surgery.
Drew Cain then led a rescue operation to Greenland. The mission not only rescued Liesl and brought her back home in time for the surgery but also culminated in Victor Cassadine’s shocking ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ in a blast.
Unfortunately, the bone marrow transplant storyline was the last time we saw her. It has been several months since then. At this point, we can’t help but wonder if actress Kathleen Gati is done with GH for good.
We did a deep dive into the internet to find out, but we didn’t come across any information pointing to the seasoned actress exiting the soap.
In fact, back in August 2024, some fans took to social media to speculate that Liesl may have stolen Kristina’s baby. They theorized that since the soap didn’t show the baby’s body on screen, it could be possible that Liesl stole her.
Did anyone see Kristina’s baby after it ᴅɪᴇᴅ? Where is Liesl?
“Behaving, girl?” one fan asked Kathleen Gati on X (formerly Twitter). Kathleen replied to the tweet claiming she is “mostly not behaving.” However, she also added a laughing face emoji, indicating that she was only joking.
Although we know that Liesl did not steal the baby, we’re still hoping she will pop back into town soon, even if it’s just to stir up some trouble.
It’s always so much fun to see her on screen, and it’s about time she got a new front-burner storyline. Kathleen Gati is a terrific actress and is hugely underutilized.
