General Hospital is about to witness the comeback of Kelly Thiebaud, known for playing Dr. Britt Westbourne. The actor joined the show in 2012 and last appeared in January 2023. Now, Thiebaud has shown excitement about her return in her latest post on social media.
Here is everything you need to know about this latest re-entry in the popular soap opera.
Kelly Thiebaud says her return to General Hospital will ‘be a wild ride’
In her video on TikTok, Kelly Thiebaud opened up about her smashing comeback on General Hospital. She stated, “Didn’t know that I was going to get to talk about this so soon, as I literally just started back at work this week, but the cat’s out of the bag! I’m back on General Hospital!” The 42-year-old added, “I’m so excited for y’all to see what the storyline is and how they’re bringing me back, in what capacity — all of the things that I can’t talk about.”
Additionally, she revealed that she would be seen on the show in July before acknowledging fans for their “love and support.” For the unaware, Deadline was the first one to break the news about Kelly Thiebaud’s comeback on General Hospital. Executive producer Frank Valentini told the portal, “I am thrilled to have Kelly back on our show. We have some great twists and turns planned for her character.”
While Thiebaud and the show’s executive producer are excited about the former’s comeback, one confusion remains. It is not confirmed whether the actor will be reprising her role of Dr. Britt Westbourne on General Hospital. The character was shown dead in January 2023, leaving fans with no hope of her return. However, there are chances of Britt being brought back from the dead, as is common with twists in soap operas. Moreover, Thiebaud could return as a fresh character, restarting her stint from scratch. Nevertheless, only upcoming episodes of the show will provide a clear picture.
Currently, General Hospital is focusing on the legal battle between Michael Corinthos and Willow Tait. It will be interesting to see how the makers fit in Kelly Thiebaud’s re-entry in the present scenario.
