General Hospital fans want Scott and Liesl's reunion amid character’s possible return

After Kathleen Gati's return was announced, fans of General Hospital also have their desire to bring Scott Baldwin and Liesl Obrecht to get back together. Liesl, who is known for having a sassy personality, was last seen on the show in December 2023. She is coming back to Port Charles after an 18-month break. So, simply fans have their hopes that she can fix her complicated relationship with Scott Baldwin.

Since 2024, Scott Baldwin, played by Kin Shriner, has not been on the show. Because he is not there, the storylines are missing something, and many fans are unsure of what will happen to him on the show. Fans were happy to hear that Liesl was coming back. But no news was there about Scott's return.

They have seen unexpected ups and downs in their relationship. At first, Scott and Liesl had a bitter, hostile relationship. Scott, as a lawyer, sometimes found himself on the wrong side of the law. Liesl seems to be a big problem in his life. However, the story takes a different path. 

In an interview, Kathleen mentioned,

“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."

Even though Liesl turned down Scott's advances many times, a romantic spark grew between them. After Scott fell from an airplane after an argument with Liesl, their relationship changed. Fans hoped for a deeper connection between the two.

General Hospital episodes are available to stream on ABC.
