The Britch Is Back? GH Fans Debate Over Who Kelly Thiebaud Should Return As

   

Kelly Thiebaud’s upcoming General Hospital return on July 18 is sparking speculation among fans. Will she return as a back-from-the-dead Britt, a beloved recast, or a new character altogether?

Bring Britt Home

Thiebaud left GH in 2023 when Britt, already succumbing to Huntington’s Disease that she inherited from her father Faison (Anders Hove), was stabbed and killed by The Hook, who was revealed to be Heather (Alley Mills). Britt died in her mother’s arms, crushing the few who loved her, like Liesl (Kathleen Gati, who is also returning to GH) and Brad (Parry Shen).

Aside from Rocco (Finn Carr) currently investigating his surrogate mom, another major reason viewers want the disgraced doctor back is to continue her short-lived relationship with Jason (Steve Burton).

“PLEASE let her be playing Britt, don’t do my heart dirty @GeneralHospital…I love BritSon/JaBritt,” one fan begged on X (formerly Twitter), while another declared, “HUGE MISS if they don’t bring Britt back as Britt. I really think that her and Jason could be the beginning of a super couple! Sorry, I said it!”

“Looks like Jason is the first one to see her and I’m going to be DEVASTATED if she isn’t playing Britt Westbourne,” another noted after Thiebaud’s first scene was teased.

If Not Britt…Who?

While a handful of viewers speculated that Thiebaud could be a recast for Robin, who has only ever been played by Kimberly McCullough, many are all for the actress taking on a new role.


“I don’t have any problem with bringing Kelly Thiebaud back to #GH as a new interesting character. I will have a problem if they plan to resurrect Britt Westbourne. Some characters need to stay dead. Britt is one of them, one dedicated fan wrote.
