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.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Will Ava Tie the Knot With Drew?

On the Friday, November 13 episode of General Hospital, Drew (Cameron Mathison) convinces Ava (Maura West) they need to get married, to each other! Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) hopes to get the DNA results on Jude (Will Traval) she has waited for, and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) secretly co-conspire to find out who in Port Charles had the infamous tick!
Here’s what went down: Drew explained to Ava that they needed to get hitched ASAP, that way, they couldn’t be forced to testify against each other in the Jack Brennan case. After initially being kind of sick of the thought of marrying Drew, he made her change her mind, by throwing out the fact that if she lands in jail Sonny (Maurice Benard) will have Avery (Ayla Bullington) all to himself.
Next, Ava heads to GH to ask Lucas (Van Hansis) to be her witness in marrying Drew. Lucas has already figured out the reason Ava is marrying Drew because it has something to do with Brennan’s death. Explaining she hates the idea of getting married to Drew, she has run out of other options. Lucas agrees to help her, but firmly tells Ava nobody would believe it was a real marriage anyway.

CAN MOLLY AND JOE STOP THE WEDDING?
At the same time, Drew asked Martin (Michael E. Knight) for a post-nuptial agreement. Martin was not happy to hear that Drew was going to marry Ava, warning that prison was a better option than tying himself to a woman like Ave Jerome.
Eventually Ava, Lucas, Drew, and Martin gathered at the city clerk’s office. Lucas comes up with a way to derail or stall the nuptials by saying that they need to wait for Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) and Avery to show up, as they should be a part of this, too.
Lucas may have saved the day, because Molly (Kristen Vaganos) and Joe (Jonathan Bennett) went to Drew’s office to serve him his warrant, but found the office door open. Next, Joe found a sticky note on Drew’s folder that revealed Drew had obtained a marriage license. A light bulb goes off in his head and he realized Ava and Drew are getting married, so he and Molly rush off to City Hall to try and stop it.

IS JUDE THE TRUE BABY DADDY?
Elsewhere, after receiving a text message that the DNA results are in at the hospital, Brook Lynn ends her discussion over Jude and baby Phoebe with Gio (Giovanni Mazza) and runs out of the Quartermaines.
Once Brook Lynn gets off the elevator at GH, she sees Jude and Britt Kelly Thiebaud) looking might close. She quickly heads back towards the elevator sight unseen and was clearly shaken by what she saw. Earlier at the doctors and nurses hub, Elizabeth helped Dante by confirming by an ear gesture they had worked out; that the patient with the tick was Ava Jerome.
You can check out the scenes where Lucas gets a visit from Ava and he learns she wants him to be her witness in marrying Drew at City Hall.
Now weigh-in: do you think Ava and Drew will tie the knot before Joe and Molly make it to City Hall? What do you think the DNA results will show once Brook Lynn gets her hands on them? Have they been tampered with? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section.

SONNY IS READY FOR WAR
Meanwhile in the aftermath of his visit with Carly, Sonny told his brother Ric what went down when Josslyn disrespected him in front of his own daughter and hurt Avery. Since Josslyn already make it known that she no longer considers herself part of Sonny’s family, he’s decided to treat her accordingly.
Sonnys first step in payback is to take away her support system at JJE by approaching Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel) again, but this time in a much less-friendly way.
Ric points out that this would go against every move Sonny made as a legitimate businessman in Port Charles and would mean he’s back in the mob? Sonny doubles down, saying Josslyn changed the game when she involved Avery. While he showed concern of how bad Carly would feel over all this year, he said he is ready to finish what Josslyn started.
At the Metro Court, Ava (Maura West) is listening to Avery explain what happened between Sonny and Josslyn and how much she hates Josslyn right now, which Ava seems to be OK with.
WILL JOSSLYN’S WORLD BLOW UP ON HER?
Speaking of Josslyn, she is on the pier still after her talk with Hudson and still crying over her confrontation with Sonny and Avery overhearing it, and what she told her sister. Lucas comes across her at the pier while out for his run.
Explaining how badly she feels for what she said about Sonny to Avery, Lucas says that eventually Avery will discover the truth about Sonny. He explains to Josslyn that even though Avery hates her now, she will come to realize that what she said about her father was the truth, and that Josslyn was not lying to her at all.
So, what do you think about Sonny ready to play dirty to take down Josslyn? How will Carly ensure her daughter does not wind up dead? Who do you think is in the right here? Is Josslyn’s vendetta against Sonny justified, at the cost of the relationships with her family? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section.
