General Hospital fans, brace yourselves—Kelly Thiebaud is officially returning to Port Charles this July. Though her previous run ended in tragedy, the buzz surrounding her comeback is electric. From Instagram reactions to wild fan theories, everyone wants to know: is Britt Westbourne really back?
Speculation Swirls: Will Britt Westbourne Rise From the Grave?
Kelly Thiebaud’s previous exit from General Hospital was heartbreaking. Britt Westbourne died during “The Hook” storyline, shocking even the most seasoned viewers. At the time, Thiebaud left to reprise her role on Station 19. Since then, the show moved on—until now.
Her return, announced this June, has left fans with burning questions. Will GH really bring Britt back from the dead? It wouldn’t be the first time. After all, Port Charles thrives on jaw-dropping returns. Some suspect she may play an entirely new character. Soap fans are no strangers to actors doubling up in new roles—Michael Easton did it three times!
No official word has been released on her character yet. But given her history, either twist could create fireworks.
General Hospital: Kelly Thiebaud Reacts: “You Guys Rock!”
The reaction to her return has been massive. Kelly took to social media with a heartfelt thank-you. In an Instagram video, she danced joyfully and thanked fans for the “outpouring of love.” She called the opportunity a “wild ride” and hinted at juicy drama ahead.
Even her General Hospital co-stars chimed in. Katelyn MacMullen (Willow) left a sweet “Can’t wait!” comment, while Cameron Mathison (Drew) added, “Love thissssssss.” Not everyone liked that, though—fans trolled his character, calling Drew a “ruiner” of lives. Still, Kelly stayed gracious, replying warmly.
More fans flooded her comments with requests. Most begged for Britt’s return, hoping for a reunion with Jason Morgan. Some even imagined her becoming “Dr. Britt Morgan” if she married Jason. That chemistry was undeniable back in 2021. With Steve Burton’s return, it’s the perfect storm for a revival.
Whether Kelly Thiebaud returns as Britt Westbourne or someone entirely new, her comeback has ignited a frenzy. General Hospital fans are counting the days until July to see what twist awaits. Stay tuned for updates only on Soap Opera Daily—because this ride’s just getting started!
GH needs a strong power couple and Britt and Jason could be it, if the writers smartly take things in that direction. What was the last big couple on GH, Luke and Laura? That was decades ago. This is a soap, they need to bring more love into it rather than crime.
I hope they bring Britt back from the dead and bring
Liesl Obrecht with her. We need Jason and Britt, Liesel, and much more of Diane, hopefully with a love interest. Willow must go to the nut house and work on her save me/hero worship complex. Months ago when Michael told Jason or Sonny (I think) that Willow always falls for whoever is saving her he was right. Drew needs to go to jail and Molly should raise Scout with Cody (not Alexis), and we all know Kristina needs to have consequences for her actions but not jail. Michael could be with Sasha or someone completely new and last but not least Tracy & Martin should hook up.
