GENERAL HOSPITAL: Kathleen Gati Returns as Liesl Obrecht and Gets the Lowdown on Anna; Will She Be the One to Reveal Cassius is Not Nathan?
Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) is back in Port Charles and not a minute too soon! She may hold the answers to, or could upend Cassius (Ryan Paevey) impersonating his dead twin brother, Nathan West, and could help Anna Devane (Finola Hughes), who’s paranoia over Cesar Faison being alive is getting worse! All this, according to Anna’s doctors in France, and her bff Felicia Scorpio (Kristina Wagner).
On the Friday, April 24 episode of General Hospital, Felicia met with Liesl to discuss how Anna is getting mentally worse and believes her doctors are receiving orders from Faison to gaslight her. Felicia asks Liesl for her help and would like her to talk to Anna, but Liesl says given their past history, her presence would make matters worse. Liesl does admit that it bothers her that Anna believes Faison is alive. Felicia asks if that’s possible.
When talks turns to her children, Obrecht says she hopes for the sake of her children that Faison is dead. But does she know she gave birth to twins, Cassius and Nathan? Has she known from Cassius’ arrival in Port Charles, he was pretending to be Nathan or has she been duped as well? And if so, did Faison take her other son, and she never knew he existed?

There is so much to be revealed and it seems like Obrecht has to be the one to figure out that Cassius is impersonating Nathan. Later in the episode, Josslyn (Eden McCoy) ran into Liesl and asks her if it’s possible Nathan is impersonating Faison. All this, has to raise suspicious for Liesl. How much will she be willing to help Anna? Will Faison be alive? Will she realize she had another child?
On her return, fan favorite, Kathleen Gati, spoke to Soap Opera Digest and expressed, “Of all the characters I have played throughout my career, Liesl Obrecht is by far my favorite, and I miss her when I am away too long. So it’s great to be back! Needless to say, I can’t wait to see what the writers have in store for her!”
You can check out Obrecht’s conversation with Felicia marking the most recent return of Kathleen Gati.
Now weigh-in: Do you think Obrecht knew at all about Cassius? Will she figure out that he is impersonating her other son, Nathan? Did she know all along? Is Faison alive? Share you theories via the comment section below.
How is it that all these women can give birth to twins and not know it? First it was Susan Moore. And her baby daddy was a doctor, for Hell’s sake. I’ll give Nina a pass because she was a literal vegetable when her babies were born, so that’s a valid excuse not to remember.
But Liesl Obrecht? It doesn’t fit. She’s no dummy, and she was 666% aware of what Faison was capable of. To the extent that she let her sister raise Nathan, and lied to him about who his father was until very shortly before he died. If my Fuzzy Devil Memory serves me correct, Nathan never actually met Faison until the day dear old daddy shot him in the chest. (Oh and by the way… how exactly does Cassius Muhammad Ali Clay Faison have those two bullet hole scars in his chest, where Nathan got shot? That seems a little TOO much commitment to method acting, to take actual bullets for cosmetic purposes, right? )
As it happens, it wasn’t really all that safer for Nathan to be raised by Liesl’s sister, considering she made her own daughter a vegetable for 20 years. But after all this, we’re supposed to believe Dr. Ooblech let Faison steal one of her kids, which would pretty much negate the whole point of what she did to “protect” Nathan?
Do these writers even bother with the history of this show any more?
In a word, “No!” Love your commentary here, Satan. Continuity went out the window in soaps decades ago. I cannot pinpoint the exact moment, but history has been ignored, besmerched, and rewritten countless times in soaps. It seems that more than half the adult population of soap characters have had children who come into their lives as adults without the parent ever knowing about the birth. Add to that the unrelenting trope of long-lost siblings or evil twins.
And as much as I like DOOL, bringing back people from the dead has jumped the shark — also long ago! What’s happening with the character of Lexie is insane. Pods should be for peas and astronauts, not the previously “deceased.”
James…oh, I agree with you, Brother…about DOOL’S Lexie, I mean. To me, there was no need for the show to bring Lexie back. At all.
Have a good one, Brother.
oh satan, I know you don’t have faith because well your Satan, but yes, these twin plots are something else and you have to suspend with normal logic to maintain your sanity but to answer a few of your questions, I don’t know or remember everything in details but if my bad memory serves me here a little, Susan Moore did know she gave birth to twins, Jason and drew, and if I remember correctly heather was in on her given up one to be raised by the same women who raised Franco. As for Liesel not being aware she gave birth to twins maybe they (Faison) told her one of the twins died, hmmm but then Liesel did the same and gave Nathan up? ok, yeah I see where your coming from with the writers messy revising their own history, whats the saying to many chefs(writers) in the kitchen rewriting the show. they did this with Anna twin Alex, on AMC Alex and Anna got along and Alex wasn’t really the “evil” twin, imagine that twins that were both good, then GH decided that Alex was evil yet never explained the shift in the character and why she turned on Anna. As for Anna, I hope she’s duping everyone and setting up to take down this silly evil villains once and for all and I hope Felicia is helping her out because one plot point that upsets me is how easily both Felicia an Mac believed Anna had gone cray cray.
Unless they retconned it again, Susan wasn’t aware she had a twin. As a money grabbing opportunist, she would’ve never given up another Quartermaine heir.
Nathan’s origin story was that Faison didn’t know Obrecht was pregnant. Liesl arranged for her sister Magda (Madeline) to raise Nathan as her own. Her sister was no saint, and has a history of baby market shenanigans, so it’s more likely Madeline did the same thing as Heather and gave the twin away.
What needs explanation is Cassius’ interaction with Cesar. Lots of explaining to do.
She is a great actress, and it is a great character, They need to use her more.
agreed! Love seeing her act on the show. She’s a good actress!
There may have been another retcon on Friday’s episode when Liesl said “the entire time I was married to Cesar”. Liesl’s been on the show since 2012 and that’s the first time it’s been mentioned Obrecht and Faison were married.
As twins run in the Westbourne-Obrecht family, wait until 2036 when it’s retconned to reveal that Amelia has a never before seen twin.

GH’s Kayden Brenna Tokarski Addresses ‘Positivity and Negativity’ That Has Come Her Way as She Embraces Playing Scout Cain

Kayden Brenna Tokarski took over the role of General Hospital’s Scout Cain from her predecessor Cosette Abinante on the July 20th episode of the ABC soap opera, when they decided to age-up Scout. Abinante has played the part since 2022.
Now, as the story has been unfolding, viewers are witnessing Scout’s journey and burgeoning teenage romance with Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) and the conflict she’s caught in the middle of between her brother, Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn) and her father, Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison).
Since Tokarski has arrived on the scene, Scout has shed many tears and been in the middle of some heavy emotional beats. On Sunday, October 4, Kayden Brenna Tokarksi took to her X account and dropped a video message to all General Hospital fans.

During her message, Kayden addressed how General Hospital has been handed down generations within her family and how she had watched the soap before having the incredible moment of actually becoming a cast member, plus fans positive and negative comments since her debut.
Here’s what Kayden expressed, “I just wanted to come on here and show my gratitude for General Hospital. It’s been the largest dream come true. Seriously, I’m pinching myself. Every single day I get to come to work, and work with the incredible cast and crew. My mom grew up watching with her mom and I watched with her. So it’s very full circle. It’s insane that this is my life. I wanted to give a huge shout out to Cosette who played Scout prior. Thank you for building such a beautiful foundation, and really large shoes to fill, but just such a phenomenal, brilliant actress and young woman, and I just wish you all the best.”
As Scout has grown in front of our eyes, Tokarski shared, “Thank you to everyone for your grace, welcome, and support as Scout is transitioning into a teenager and more. I have never been on a soap opera before, so as I’m navigating this new world, thank you. Thank you for all of the positivity and also negativity, because I don’t look at it as negativity. I look at it as a way to learn and grow and evolve because right now.”
Being on a soap opera is always a work in progress, for any actor who has never fully performed in the medium, it is like no other, with the pace and how it required the actors to make things work often without much rehearsal time. Kayden added, “I’m at a stage where I’m figuring out what works for me and what doesn’t. And if we take it too far, we’ll pull back. Don’t worry. Thanks for being in the ride with me, I hope you stick it out and keep watching General Hospital.”
You can check out Kayden’s video message to all General Hospital fans below.
Now let us know, have you been enjoying Kayden’s performance as the teenaged Scout? Do you appreciate her addressing her love of the show, plus how she hopes to continue evolve in the role? Drop a comment in the thread below.
A message to all the wonderful fans of #GeneralHospital 🙏🫶 #scoutcain https://t.co/ofXCTFcuNx

‘General Hospital’s’ Tabyana Ali on a Potential Kai/Trina/Gio/Emma Quadrangle, ‘I Don’t Think That’s Impossible, But That Would Be Messy’

On recent episodes of General Hospital, music executive Simon Craft (Grady Eldridge) has been pushing and demanding that Trina (Tabyana Ali) and Gio (Giovanni Mazza) play up a faux relationship when they are onstage, or in front of the camera, to add to their allure as new recording artists to his label.
Simon knows full well that Gio is dating Emma (Braedyn Bruner), and Trina is with Kai (Jens Austin Astrup). It was apparent from the start, that Kai seemed a bit more comfortable with the “arrangement” understanding this was for business, and not pleasure, while Emma initially didn’t like the idea.
Now with Trina’s stalker story in full gear, and as fans eventually find out who is completely obsessed with the budding young singer, while initially seeming to be Simon that would seem to be too easy of a choice. But is GH toying with the idea that somehow Gio and Trina get stuck in a situation and one thing leads to another and they develop feelings one another, too?

SIMON’S MANUEVERS
In addition, after Curtis (Donnell Turner) and Sidwell’s (Carlo Rota) beatdown at Pentonville, where everyone is accusing Sonny (Maurice Benard) of ordering the deed, will this find Gio and Trina on the same side, believing it’s Sonny, or will Gio end up sticking by his grandfather when by week’s end he was also questioning if he was telling the truth?
During a new conversation on the Michael Fairman Channel, Tabyana Ali shared her thoughts that if Gio and Trina were pushed closer together, what that would mean for their relationships with Emma and Kai, respectively.

MUSICAL CHAIRS?
Pondering the soap staple, Tabyana exclaimed, “Oh, my goodness. Who knows? I mean, quite honestly, I don’t think it’s it’s impossible, but, oh, wow! That would be messy!” Ali added that its something that could be quite intriguing to play. “There’s a part of me that wants it to happen just to see, how does it play out? Right? Then, there’s another part of me that’s like, “You can’t do that to Emma and Kai.” That’s so wrong,” believed Ali.
However, Tabyana did admit a complicated love story wasn’t far from her mind. “Originally, I wanted something like a quadrangle. I really wanted that to happen. And if this is a moment where it could happen, I think that would be fun too.”
When asked to tease what’s coming up for Trina in the next several weeks, she offered up three words. Things for her will “(get) Suspicious, (be ) spontaneous, (and) very dangerous.”
So, do you think the GH writing team is teeing up a situation where Trina and Gio become more than friends and musical artists together? Would you be down for it, or be against it? do you like Emma with Gio and Kai with Trina? Share your thoughts via the comment section, nd in case you missed it, check our chat with Tabyana below.
