“I am so happy to be home on Arrow,” she said. “I loved my Arrow family during the pilot shoot and it is a joy to work with Stephen Amell and the gang again. I am looking forward to working with everyone!”

Of course, we know and love Gati as the onerously officious Dr. Obrecht on GH. However, she also has been a longtime fixture on a variety of primetime shows, including a role the CW’s Arrow.

Not Done on GH!

Now GH fans, hold your horses, because Gati isn’t done with her brilliant portrayal of our favorite Teutonic physician who’s fond of stirring up trouble just yet! Despite Obrecht’s dismissal from her position at the hospital for tampering with Finn’s (Michael Easton) drug tests, she tweeted, “I  will continue to recur on GH as long as they want me to.” Fans can breathe a sigh of relief!
