How General Hospital Vet Zachary Garred Feels About Fans Loathing His Character Levi

Given Levi Dunkleman’s reputation as a villain on “General Hospital,” many fans immediately disliked the character, and that only grew when he targeted fan-favorite Nathan West. Despite the public’s opinion of him, portrayer Zachary Garred loved how much fans hated his character. In an interview with Soaps in Depth, Garred opened up about the fan response and how it formed his “GH” adventure.

“I think the fans were one part of it [his stint turning out to be nine months instead of six weeks]. The fans made it really enjoyable for me,” he told the outlet. “I laughed a lot and really got a great experience out of it from them.”

Garred also described a fan incident that he had while at Disneyland, where the fan recognized him as the person who was keeping Maxie Jones and Nathan West apart. They laughed about it, and Garred chose to look on the bright side of the situation, saying, “I’m a fan of things, too … so I get the passion that people have. And it’s part of the fun. Because it ceases to become just a job.”
