General Hospital Spoilers: If Britt Faked Her Death, Was Heather Webber In On It?

General Hospital spoilers suggest GH fans are going wild with speculation this week as they start to dissect whether Britt Westbourne’s (Kelly Thiebaud) “death” from Heather Webber’s (Alley Mills) poisoned hook in January 2023 was a clever stage act.

With Britt confirmed alive in Dubrovnik, the theory that Heather was in on the faked poisoning — perhaps with an antidote or substituted hook — is gaining traction among the fan base.

Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) witnessed Britt’s “death,” but GH’s love for retcons ignores plot holes like how Britt knew Heather was the killer.

Was Heather coerced or part of a larger plan? Could Britt’s return also bring our favorite psycho back into the fold?

Britt’s “Death” Scene Revisited

The moment Heather slashed Britt with her poisoned hook, leading to her “death” in Liesl’s arms, felt final, but fans are now questioning if it was all an elaborate ruse.

Britt’s Huntington’s Disease diagnosis added a layer of tragedy, but her survival suggests an antidote or fake poison was at play. Heather’s role as the Hook Killer was unknown to her the night she got nicked though, so how could Britt orchestrate it?

Fans speculate a secret ally swapped the hook or provided a cure, ignoring the plot hole (or chasm) — GH thrives on retcons.

If Heather was involved, perhaps coerced by a mystery man like her handler Pascal (Marc Forget) or Professor Henry ‘Hank’ Dalton (Daniel Goddard), it explains her compliance. Will Britt’s return reveal the truth, or keep the deception alive?

Heather’s Involvement Sparks Fan Theories

Imagine Heather, locked away, smirking as Britt walks free — fans on Facebook theorize Heather was in on the faked death, maybe to protect Britt from a greater threat at the time that we don’t know about yet.

Britt’s slash was non-fatal, but the poison “killed” her — could it have been staged with a harmless substitute? Liesl’s grief seemed genuine, but if she knew, it adds complexity.

Some fans are also pointing to Heather’s family ties and madness as a motive, perhaps manipulated by Britt to escape her Huntington’s fate privately. With Britt in Dubrovnik under watch, is Heather’s “help” part of a bigger scheme?

Will the Truth Set Britt Free or Trap Her?

The speculation about Heather’s role in Britt’s faked death is intensifying with each episode that gives us a peek into pieces of the past being positioned now to paint a very different picture of what happened.

If Heather was in on it, providing an antidote or staging the poisoning, it could explain Britt’s escape from her illness’ burden, sparing loved ones the pain.

GH fans are rooting for a reveal but some do seem worried that it could spell complications for her return. Will Jason uncover the hook plot, or will Britt dodge being found in an effort to keep her ruse under wraps? What do you think? Was Heather in on it?
