![]() ![]() Valentini chose Gati out of five other actresses that were up for the role. ![]() Gati made her first appearance on August 24, 2012. Immediately impressed, Valentini sent head writer Ron Carlivati a piece of her scenes knowing Carlivati would be inspired to write more for her. It was actually Tony Geary who sang Gati's praises to the executive producer, Frank Valentini after their scenes. The role was only meant to last a few days to "take Robin ( Kimberly McCullough) from Room A to Room B and talk to Tony Geary in the hall to help him avoid seeing Robin and Anna Devane ( Finola Hughes)." Gati said her status with the series "was always precarious and still is," despite the role being expanded. However, the writers were so impressed that they kept bringing Gati back. "They needed a German doctor to say a few things and then go" Gati remarked to Soaps In Depth of how her character came to be. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() So, I’m suddenly supposed to believe that my son is going to leave the safety of the ground aboard a giant rotating wheel that he has never actually laid eyes on?
