General Hospital fans are in for a treat this summer, as Daytime Emmy winner Kelly Thiebaud is set to return to the soap! Will she be Britt Westbourne, though?
Kelly Thiebaud Returns To Port Charles
Deadline broke the news that Thiebaud will be back on-screen in July, but there’s a twist—will she return as her beloved character, Britt Westbourne, or will she take on a brand-new role? While the specifics remain under wraps, Thiebaud shared her excitement about being “home” again, sparking curiosity and anticipation among fans who have followed her journey on GH for over a decade.
Thiebaud’s connection to the soap has been nothing short of remarkable since she first appeared on the show in 2012. She quickly became a fan favorite for her portrayal of the feisty, troubled, and, at times, heartbroken Britt Westbourne.
Britt’s storylines over the years have been packed with drama, from her complicated relationship with Patrick Drake (Jason Thompson) to the shocking revelation that she was the daughter of Dr. Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) and infamous baddie Cesar Faison (Anders Hove).
Britt’s many schemes, including stealing an embryo and her brief romance with Jason Morgan (Steve Burton), kept fans on the edge of their seats. But it was Britt’s tragic death in January 2023 that left a gaping hole in the GH canvas. After her heartbreaking final scenes, where Britt succumbed to injuries inflicted by “The Hook,” Heather Webber (Alley Mills), fans assumed they had seen the last of Thiebaud’s iconic character.
However, soap operas are known for their unexpected twists, and Thiebaud’s return has many wondering if Britt is truly gone for good. With her return, there’s no telling what direction her character will take. Could Britt have somehow survived The Hook? Will Thiebaud take on a fresh role entirely, potentially revamping the GH landscape with a new character?
Executive producer Frank Valentini expressed his enthusiasm for Thiebaud’s return, teasing that the show has “great twists and turns planned” for her. If GH’s history is any indication, a return from the dead isn’t out of the question.
As fans eagerly await her return, the speculation continues: Will Britt Westbourne rise from the ashes, or will Kelly Thiebaud step into a new persona in Port Charles? Either way, GH is set to deliver a thrilling new chapter, and we can’t wait to see where Thiebaud’s return will take us next.
