General Hospital Casting Surprise: Kathleen Gati Returns As Liesl Obrecht
She's Baaack!
When Rocco (Finn Carr) sent an email to Obrecht on the July 11, 2025 episode of GH after discovering that Britt (Thiebaud) gave birth to him, it was easy to assume the disgraced doctor may be returning. Now, Gati's return has been confirmed.
The actress shared with Soap Opera Digest, '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. 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.'

Obrecht hasn't been seen in Port Charles since 2023 when Britt died after being slashed by The Hook, who turned out to be Heather (Alley Mills). Fans have wondered whether Thiebaud is returning as Britt or a new character, but Gati's return as Obrecht may be a major clue.

Finn's Medical Sleuthing Exposes Grace's Wicked Game on B&B
Finn may have the sweetest bedside manner on Bold and the Beautiful, but don't mistake his kindness for naivety. After Grace Buckingham dramatically declared that Liam's life was saved by a miraculous surgery, Finn couldn't help but notice a few cracks in her too-perfect story. Why does he keep staring at those scans like they're a puzzle missing pieces? Could Finn be on the verge of uncovering Grace's ultimate scam? Suspicious Minds: Finn Smells Something Rotten Grace (Cassandra Creech) swooped into town with all the credentials and charisma to convince Bill (Don Diamont) that Liam (Scott Clifton) had been yanked back from death's door. But while everyone else is cheering for Liam's second chance, it seems Finn's (Tanner Novlan) medical instincts are screaming something isn't right. Could this 'deadly brain tumor' have been nothing but an elaborate con designed to bleed Dollar Bill's bank account dry? WATCH NOW: SoapHub Says is streaming exclusively on SoapHub. The Buckingham Bombshell Could Blow Wide Open If Finn starts digging (and let's be real, he absolutely will), Grace better watch her back. He's not just a doctor; he's a protective husband and father with zero tolerance for manipulators in his orbit. Imagine the fallout if Finn exposes that Liam was never dying at all and Grace masterminded a scheme to cash in on the Spencer fortune. READ MORE: Will Grace survive Dollar Bill's wrath? Will Finn go rogue and investigate on his own? Or could he team up with someone like Bridget (Ashley Jones) or even Li (Naomi Matsuda) to get answers? This could set off a chain reaction that destroys careers, relationships, and possibly even Grace's freedom. If Finn uncovers this secret, Grace's days in Los Angeles are numbered. But knowing her history, she won't go down without causing maximum chaos on her way out. Buckle up, because if Finn blows the whistle, this will be one scandal B&B fans won't soon forget.
