GH’s Kelly Thiebaud Delivers The ‘Power Performance of the Week’
In heartbreaking scenes on last week’s episodes of General Hospital, Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) gets the news she has feared for quite some time – that her battle with Huntington’s disease has progressed even further than she imagined.
The moments were all played with devastating perfection by Daytime Emmy winner, Kelly Thiebaud, who has GH fans know will be departing the ABC daytime drama series soon.
In story, Austin (Roger Howarth) set up a consultation with a Huntington’s Disease expert, Dr. Talone. When the three meet to discuss Britt’s case, she learns that symptoms she thought were stress from being on the run a few years ago, and when she was in prison, were the early manifestations of the disease.
After Dr. Talone examines Britt, she reveals that Britt now has the signs of stage three Huntington’s. As for her prognosis, Britt will have ‘significant cognitive impairment’, and while she was anywhere between five to fifteen years in her lifespan, it could be as soon as eighteen months when Britt will need assisted living and full-time care.
When Dr. Talone exits, Austin offers to stay with Britt, but she asks for him to leave her office so she can be alone. Once by herself and overcome with the news she received (and looking at her framed medical license and business card which says that Britt is Co-Chief of Staff of General Hospital), she finally loses it and tears up her office. Cody (Josh Kelly) comes upon her, when she is left holding the necklace she found in Peter’s possessions which are the diamonds of the Ice Princess.
Britt is in tears and tells Cody that when she found out her father, Faison had died, she thought it was finally over. However, his reach extends far beyond the grave! Britt is in disbelief that she wasted so much time seeking his approval. Cody tries to calm Britt down by telling her she is worth loving. Britt remarks, “Even with what’s been passed down to me?” Cody is confused and thinks she is talking about the necklace which now makes Britt believe that Cody was only into her for the diamonds.

Later, in the most gut-wrenching and emotional scenes, Britt confesses to her mother, Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) that her disease has progressed. Obrecht wants to get her to a specialist in Toronto, but Britt says she just met with her and she informs her mother she has five to fifteen years to live – and a year and a half before she may require full-time care. Obrecht promises they will fight this. An overcome Britt asks her to just stop because she doesn’t need a doctor … she needs a mom. The two embrace, but Obrecht cries Britt deserved a better mother than her. Kathleen Gati and Kelly Thiebaud were extremely touching and effective in these scenes.
When looking at the totality of the arc of this story that played out last week, and the understated and beautiful work of Kelly Thiebaud, it is without question Michael Fairman TV gives our Power Performance of the Week honors to Kelly.
So, what did you think of Kelly’s performances as Britt learns what she will now be faced with in the years ahead and the aftermath? Share your thoughts in the comment section.

Many will say Stefan but i want Mike to return…then they can have Ava’s mom Delia also appear…Delia agrees to perform a song at the nurse ball…at the last moment Dee’s piano player is replaced and its Mike(does he even play piano…id’tk…lol) and what a hilarious wtf look there will be on Dee’s face when she see’s Mike and mistakes him for her husband Roger…GH could use more humor…i’d love it!!!
I am with you!!
Ditto! I loved Mike and it was nice to have Sonny have a normal father. Now Mike would have a new granddaughter, and maybe he could help Michael too. Or Morgan.
I agree it I what Mike cornthios come back
seems like a landslide
dang it…. it should be for DAYS
Stefan Cassadine
I still want JVP : Carlos
Personally, I would like to see Serena return full time! And now that Kim Matula is no longer part of B&B, I think she would make a good Serena.
For a brief return, however, I want to see Courtney come back as a vision for Jake. If he doesn’t have his memory (and true identity) back by the Nurses’ Ball, I think it would be great for him to get a visit from his sister. Plus, having Alicia Leigh Willis back for an episode or two would be spectacular.
Courtney wasn’t Jason’s sister. She’s Sonnys sister, which is why sonny is Spencer’s uncle.
Yes, that makes sense, I confused her with Emily.
Isn’t Courtney Sonny’s sister? Am I remembeting correctly? Weren’t she and Jason a couple?
Yes you are, my apologies, I confused the characters.
Ummm, you are confusing characters I think. Courtney is Sonny’ s sister, not Jason.
Yes, now I remember. Thank you
Courtney wasn’t Jake aka Jason’s sister…they were involved. Emily was his sister. Speaking of Emily I wish she would come back and be with Nikolas!! I think the choices kind of suck, but I would choose Mike or Serena. The original actress is still working and acting so they could cast her!
You’re right, I confused the characters. But yes, I would love to see Emily back! We need more Q’s!
I agree with you about Serena, but I would like to see Carly Schroeder return if possible.
Courtney is not Jason’s sister. She was Jason’s ex-wife and is Sonny’s half-sister. You must be thinking of Jason’s adopted sister, Emily Quartermaine instead, played by Natalia Livingston. I myself don’t care to ever see Courtney, aka Kung-Fu Barbie again. She can remain dead and buried.
Yes, you are right, I was not a regular GH viewer back then so I only vaguely remember the character, but I liked her. And I would love to see Emily back, I really miss her. She’s much better for Nikolas than Liz or Britt or this new Ivy chick IMO
Yes!!!! Courtney, also for Nicklaus. To show him he is going down the wrong path with helena
I’m a big Cassadine Stefan Cassadine..
They bring the thrills and suspense!
Giving my vote to — Stefan Cassadine !!
Yes! Stefan Cassadine all the way to the Nurses Ball!!!
Laura! Duh.
No no no, not Laura, she is boring and very annoying.
boy I second that! bwahahahaha
OMG please bring back Stefan Cassadine!!!!!! But he might be limited on story since Laura isn’t in town, so I will say bring back Serena Baldwin. That will have Scotty on screen more and she would be a good love interest for Michael and Morgan!!
I voted for Serena Baldwin, since I think that character has great long term possibilities. I wouldn’t mind Stefan, but NO NO NO to Courtney
Agreed! I couldn’t stand Courtney!
Love all of these characters, wish they could all come back, lol. But if I had to pick one, I would go with Courtney and the lovely Alicia Leigh Willis. Don’t know if they would be bringing her back from the dead, or if she would appear as a ghost, but I would love to see Courtney get a chance to meet and interact with her son Spencer. There’s so much material there, since she’s been gone for 9 years now. Would really like to see how they played that story. Loved Stephen Nichols as Stefan, of course Ron Hale… Read more »
I say bring them all back…
If I could vote for 1 character to leave it would be Robin..
Get rid of sabrina satiago there is no storyline for herdsince she didnt get with patric
Agreed!!!
I voted for Stefan Cassadine (Stephen Nichols). The return of Stefan would be dramatic and hot… especially at the Nurses Ball. I hope we see Stephen return.
Yes! me too!
Stefan Cassadine got my vote..
(( hope hope hope it will be him !!
Courtney would be great Spencer needs his mother and Alicia Willis is hot and I miss her
Totally agree.
Lemme get this straight. 2 of them are Cassadine related and 2 of them are Corinthos related. And then the wild card thrown in is Serena.
I wouldn’t mind a flash back moment with Courtney, just for the sake of her son. But I think it would be better to bring back Mike. Just to have closure for his storyline and move on.
1 cassadine, 1 matthews (step sister to sonny), 1 corbin (step father to sonny), and 1 baldwin. Courtney had an adulterous affair with Nicholas and a baby, but no she’s not a cassadine either.
I don’t see the point in bringing a character back just for a short lived buzz then crickets with such a bloated cast there are so many characters jockeying for a real storyline. Howe about stopping the GH variety show and write good storylines for the cast they already have .. All of a sudden Sabrina and Carlos popped back up… I haven’t been all that happy with these parade of characters returning anyway. I waited for Felicia and Maxi to have a meaningful story, its like they barely know each ohter…where is Max Scorpio they put him on recurring,… Read more »
courtney. so her son can have his mama
Hi Michael, I love Courtney & Mike. I voted for Sonny’s sis Courtney. Spencer really needs his dearest Mama. We were robber of Alicia. Thank you.
Stefan hands down!
Isn’t it amazing that TPTB couch rewarding the fans’ loyalty by allowing us to choose from 4 characters to return for the Nurses Ball and Laura Spencer is conveniently left out of the choices? These people infuriate me. I hope Tony realizes that even theaters crumble and fall .
I will not be voting, as I don’t really think any of the 4 offered could carry a story line. The closest one to doing that would be Stefan Cassadine, and Helena is already back, so it would just be more of the same, and going after Lulu again. That cards played out already. The character(s) I would like to see brought back to the show go back a long time. I’d like to see Richard Dean Anderson return as Jeff Webber, having put his demon drug problem long behind him. It would be interesting to see the interaction with… Read more »
I could see Helena having Courtney all this time, and I can see her in many storylines. Serena would have many storyline options also. I’d rather we meet a new Cassadine, unless they bring back Laura also. Would love to see Mike, but not with a new actor. So I hope it’s one of the ladies.
I want Stephan BUT I’m not voting for him because its a one day shot at the Nurses Ball. I want Stephan back FULL TIME! And really, I could see all these characters coming back full time so I wouldnt vote for any of them.
Yeah Timmm, I get what you’re saying, and I too, would want Stephen Nichols back to GH full-time. Though, from what I’ve read in various websites, the actor may not want to return to DAYS or GH full-time. So, I’ll take what I can get, you know? …a few days of Stefan or recurring, works for me. Yes, I’d prefer him full-time, if Stephen is open to that.
Wow, wouldnt it be nice to turn down work! Stefan must be comfortable. Good for him. I dont see him doing any other acting? Regardless, your right, something is better than nothing but I hate when you get a small taste of a recurring like Duke, Lucy, Scott, Mac and Felicia and then you dont see them for weeks.
I know, yeah, I’m so grateful to have Lucy, Scotty, Bobbie, Duke, Mac & Felicia, and… sporadically Kevin. Though, I agree it is frustrating to see some of these believed characters and actors just here and there. I wish some of them were on a solid contract, like Lucy Coe! 🙂
Bring back Stefan! He was a tolerable Cassadine. With them there is always suspense and drama
It would be great if Stephen Nichols and Mary Beth Evans returned to GH. I know Catherine Bell, died, or maybe she had a twin.
OMG, yes, everyone lives in the end on GH and for those two to walk back into Port Charles would be great! I dont think either of their bodies were recovered?
Totally, everyone seems to live on GH. Yeah, I don’t recall what went down with Stefan and Catherine.
Why do I have a feeling it won’t matter what the fans really think with this “poll”? The GH website does not show a running talley of which character is getting the most votes so we’ll have no way of knowing if who we voted for actually is the one that’s shown. Seems to me that “Fan February” may turn out to be “who the TPTB want and we’ll say it was the fans’ choice regardless of the actual votes.” Some transparency in the polling would be nice.
Cassadine.
Stefan Cassadine
But I know they trying to get Courtney for Spencer..but I hope he don’t bring her back for Jason..that’s Sam man..
I voted Stefan but I really want Laura back home! We love Genie Francis and tptb should bring her home!!!!!
Me too!
No fair! Only four choices–and that does NOT include the most popular character of all time–Laura! I’m crying foul! AND I SAY BRING GENIE FRANCIS BACK AS LAURA–beloved character–and bring the REAL LUKE BACK while you’re at it.
Yes bring Genie Francis back as Laura and the REAL Luke back,maybe she could get to the bottom of the Fluke Luke.
Bring back Stefan and recast Serena with Kimberly Matula ex Hope, Bold and The beautiful.
I want Stefan, I think Nicholas could use him now, Bring back a good Cassadine !!!
Truth be told, there are so many GH characters I want back. First and foremost, Lucky and Laura should have been back for this whole Fluke/Luke story. Laura would be able to see right through the imposter, and I still really hope she comes back at some point for the story. Same with Lucky, he should have been told about what happened to his father, and I would love for him to come back so they can work through their issues (after Luke killed his son). I also want to see more of Liz’s family back on screen and that’s… Read more »
i want to see Victor (Thaao Penghlis) come back because we all know he didn’t die at Crichton Clark. That might all play in with Stefan’s return.
Courtney Courtney Courtney! Spencer really needs her right now!
And not for anything she wasn’t a bad character, the writers just kept giving her horrible storylines!
NO!
Stefan Cassadine!!!
Stefan Stefan Stefan Stefan Stefan !!!
he has the most to offer GH and its’ stories and-
Stefan , will bring a whole lot of surprises and suspenses with him !!
He is needed.. 🙂
Yeah! Stefan does have the most to offer on the canvas. He’s got rich history, and it would be a hoot for Spencer to meet his (great) Uncle Stefan. I would love to see those scenes, Stephen has a great smile, and I can only envision their chemistry, too. Lots of good story if Stefan is brought back by fans.
Mike and Delia together, that would be great.
I would say I want Courtney and Serena back .
But if I had to really think about it I want Jake Spencer back from the dead. GH was wrong for killing him off , so I want him to return for Elizabeth & Jason. Let Jason get a Chance to know his son and be apart of his life. Danny needs his big brother , gh can do it they bring others back from the dead why not him .
Another bonus one for me is dillion and Maxie sister georgie
Skye Quartermaine
Lorenzo Alcazar
for the WIN
this couple would steam surpass LIVE overthrow and ignite PASSION
Yes, Patrick- Skype and Lorenzo for SURE!
I miss “Red”
Who chose these four??
STEFAN…
none would be my choice to come back but out of the four Courtney because spencer could use a mother.
If I was picking I would want Laura back first and Natalie second.
Maybe later this year for them?
Oops brain freeze that was Emily not Natalie!
I personally would love if ghetto brinca back emily quartermane jason’s sister full time and not as a ghost. If gh can bring so many propiedad back from the seas so why not her. She is an amazing charater and so much great stories to put her in just to give up on her. Please gh help me bring her back . She’s one of my favorite charictors I look up to. Please take it under concitoration. Please make it happen. Thank You so much.

I voted for Stefan (obviously) but I feel like Courtney will win because of little Spencer .. plus he’s been talking a lot lately about his momma, and they have been saying how he needs her
I want Serena back to give Lucy more story. Also she’s Franco’s half sister. She could also be involved with the younger cast.
neither 1 but Ava Jerome brings the show to interesting hieghts so her character and and to replace solgn for anna devaine back on the show
I hope that Sonny doesn’t DIE please and I hope Kiki stays 🙁
STEPHEN BECAUSE YOU COULD DO A LOT OF GOOD STUFF WITH HIS CHARACTER WITH THE OTHER ONES PEOPLE WONT CARE
Bring back the most interesting and involved character Stefan.
i think emily should be brought back for good for nichlas and jake
Yes bring Genie Francis Laura back if anyone can figure what is going on with the Fluke Luke she can.
Amen! Amen!
You did not have the one we wanted we wood like to see
Lucky or robin return we watch your shows all the time
We get in to the shows pretty good.
Thank you for your time .
I say stefan. I wish connie or lucky but out of the 4 stefan will do.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MIKE CORBIN RETURN BECAUSE HE WOULD BE A STABILIZING FATHER FIGURE FOR SONNY AS HE GOES THROUGH BEING A NEW FATHER TO AVERY, AND FIGHT WITH MICHAEL OVER HER CUSTODY. THERE ARE B OT ENOUGH NORMAL ADULT CHARACTERS LIKE LILA AND EDWARD ANYMORE WHO WOULD GIVE GOOD ADVICE TO OTHER CHARACTERS.
I HAVE WATCHED GH SINCE DAY ONE. I AM 72 YEARS OLD AND TRY NEVER TO MISS A DAY.
