General Hospital spoilers reveal with Liesl Obrecht’s (Kathleen Gati) confirmed return, thrilling fans eager for her fiery presence, the excitement is tempered by a glaring absence: Scott Baldwin (Kin Shriner), Liesl’s on-again, off-again love.
Fans online are pretty darn vocal, cheering Liesl’s comeback but clamoring for a steamy reconciliation with Scott, whose chemistry with her sizzled until his last appearance on August 16, 2024.
Shriner’s real-life struggle — a botched foot surgery in July 2024 that left him unable to walk for six months, as shared in a June 30, 2025, video — has sidelined him, with his dressing room now reassigned to Jens Austin Astrup (Kai Taylor).
Will Liesl’s return spark hope for Scott’s comeback, or leave fans longing for their reunion?
Fans Crave Liesl and Scott’s Fire
Liesl’s return, possibly tied to Rocco Falconeri’s (Finn Francis Carr) snooping around on the life and times of Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) and her embryo scandal, has fans in hot debate, with Facebook posts like “Liesl’s back, but where’s Scotty?”
Their hot-and-cold romance is a fan favorite, but Scott’s absence — due to Shriner’s recovery in Fort Lauderdale after a corrective surgery recommended by John Stamos — dims the excitement. Fans yearn for a makeup scene, hoping Liesl’s “special assignment” brings Scott back. Will her return pave the way for his, or is their love story on hold?
Scott’s Sideline Stings Port Charles
Shriner’s health ordeal, detailed in his X video, explains Scott’s exit — last seen fetching donuts for a shady pharmacist before vanishing. His absence, confirmed by a reassigned dressing room, leaves Liesl’s arc incomplete, with fans online pleading, “Scott and Liesl need to reunite!”
Liesl’s ties to Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) and the Corinthos drama Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliott) is sure to cause with her blackmail of Nina might set the stage for Scott’s return, but his rehab could delay it. So, will Scott reemerge to spark with Liesl, or stay gone?
A Reunion or a Missed Chance?
Liesl’s presence is more than welcomed, but without Scott, fans feel the void, with Michael Corinthos’ (Rory Gibson) custody win and Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) mafia wars taking center stage.
GH fans are split, with some pleading that “Liesl needs Scott!” and others fearing “GH just isn’t the same without him!” Is Liesl’s return going to be enough without Scott, or will fans’ cries for their reunion bring him back to Port Charles? Stay tuned for more GH news and spoilers to find out.
