Kelly Thiebaud is confirmed to return to General Hospital in July

Kelly Thiebaud is returning to General Hospital

The internet is abuzz with the uncertain fate of soap characters, with rumors of miraculous resurrections and unexpected returns. The anticipation is palpable as fans eagerly await Kelly Thiebaud's summer return to General Hospital. Her last portrayal as Dr. Britt Westbourne and her Daytime Emmy Award win in 2022 have only added to the excitement.

Some character returns never happen, as in the case of Morgan Corinthos (Bryan Craig), who incidentally was one engaged to Thiebaud. Craig's rumored return to Port Charles has been a hot topic since his character's demise in 2018. While he did return as a spirit to converse with Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), his physical return has not happened.

Britt and Jason

Fans were excited to learn where Britt's relationship with Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) was headed, and loved it when they were on the run together after he was shot. The duo became lovers and some fans enjoyed Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) being jealous.

Unfortunately, before "Brason" could become an official couple, the actress left the soap to join the cast of Station 19. Britt was killed by the Hook murderer, Heather Webber (Allie Mills) and fans were disappointed.

Kelly Thiebaud's career

Thiebaud was born on August 28, 1982, in El Campo, Texas, and started her career in independent films before turning to television. She has appeared in shows like Chuck, Castle, Criminal Minds, and Days of Our Lives. She also had a recurring role in The Secret Life of the American Teenager and starred in the horror film Hostel: Part III. She has a role in the upcoming film Shakey Ground.

Thiebaud's recent announcement of her return to General Hospital in July 2025 has left fans speculating. Will she reprise her role as Dr. Westbourne or take on a new character? This mystery has sparked discussions about other characters absent from Port Charles.

Britt affected many in Port Charles

Britt was co-chief of staff with Dr. Terry Randolph (Cassandra James), who had not been seen at the hospital in quite a while. General Hospital made a big deal about James being the first transgender actress to portray a transgender character but she is never around.

Dr. Portia Robnson/ Ashford (Brookie Kerr) now has Britt's job. She has been handling everything alone and getting into much trouble that could cost her medical license.

Britt's mother, Liesl Obrecht (Kathlene Gati), and Scott Baldwin (Kin Shriner) seem to have been let go by the ABC soap. There was no announcement about either, but they have not been on screen for many months. Shriner announced that his run on the soap was over, but he made this announcement twice before, only to return. This time, his exit appears to be permanent, but you never know.

Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) recently told Molly Lancing Davis (Kristina Varganos) how he parachuted into the Metro Court Pool and fell over Dr. Westbourne. Was thsi a nod to the fact that Thiebaud's character is returning?

When she was on General Hospital for the first time, the actress shared how fans had been cruel on social media. They did not like her bangs when she styled her hair during COVID, and some did not want her character with Jason. The bullying must not have been that bad if she is willing to return to Port Charles.

If Kelly Thiebaud returns as Britt, how will her death and resurrection be explained? Would this lead to Obrecht and Scott being onscreen again? If she is a new character, which Port Charles residents will she interact with? Be on the lookout for breaking news and updates related to the beloved actress's return.
