Dr. Liesl Obrecht’s return to Port Charles makes for some interesting timing. Kathleen Gati left General Hospital in December 12, 2023. Dr. Obrecht dipped out of Port Charles 11 months after the death of her daughter, Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud).
Recently, General Hospital comings and goings news shocked fans when word broke that Kelly Thiebaud was returning to the daytime drama. While General Hospital spoilers promised and then delivered, GH fans received an added bonus with Kelly’s return as Britt Westbourne.
Along with news of The Britch’s comeback, GH fans were pleasantly surprised to see her mom, Dr. Liesl Obrecht’s back in Port Charles. As nice as it is to have Kathleen back as Dr. O, her return raises curious questions. Such as, why now? Why did Liesl return just as Britt emerges from an alleged death, and back into the land of the living?
Liesl
According to the latest GH rumors, Liesl knows more than she’s told even her closest confidants. The WSB is a large part of Liesl’s life. Because she’s the daughter of Liesl and Cesar Faison (Anders Hove), Britt is no stranger to the inner workings of the WSB. Additionally, this storyline screams of the WSB not that Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) is getting involved.
This week on General Hospital, previews and spoilers tease Britt staged her death, and Anna and Jason put in efforts to find her. Clearly, Britt is working on some covert operation. If Britt chose this path, was it worth giving up her entire life for whatever this is? Her friends and family, an impressive career as a Doctor and Co-Chief of Staff at GH, and most importantly, her mother Liesl. That is what Britt left behind, and so much more.
What if Britt didn’t leave her mother behind? And if Liesl has known Britt is alive this entire time? Crazier things have happened. One thing certain is that WSB agent Jack Brennan knows that Dr. Britt Westbourne is alive.
