Is The “Britch” On Her Way Back To General Hospital?
For some time now, with all the Faison and extended family member drama going down in Port Charles, Kelly Thiebaud’s Britt has been not seen or part of the story. But that may have all changed!
When a fan recently tweeted to the talented Thiebaud that she missed seeing Kelly on the ABC daytime drama series, Thiebaud responded by saying: “Well no need to miss me cause I’m coming back! #Britch”
The character of Britt had been on the canvas from 2012-15 and then make some brief returns since then.
As the daughter to Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati), what will bring Britt back? Might she help out her former bestie, Brad Cooper (Parry Shen) and his deception with baby Wiley? Stay tuned!
So, would you love to see Kelly as Britt once again? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
Awesome! She was one of my all-time favorite characters on GH! And I want the conniving Britt, not watered-down Britt.
Please!! Brad needs his bestie for moral support. This Wylie/Jonah debacle is driving Brad crazy. lol
I hope she is back for good and not for just a few days.
I hope that the fabulous #BRITCH will not be used to prop-up Peter, like most of the other characters!
Wish she would stay…loved her friendship with Brad,,,
I am up for this. I liked Britt at the end of her run, once they started to soften her a bit.
I’m sure they would love to bring her back just so they can prop Whiny Heiny even more, since she would be his half-sister.
Wouldn’t mind seeing Britch again, as long as they gave her something legitimate to do (and no that doesn’t involve her helping Brad with his baby stealing, since she should have learned her lesson when she did that herself)
The entire cast is being used to prop-up this one-note actor (Heiny). It’s ridiculous!
Loved her and Britt on GH! Will be so happy to see her back in the mix!
Maybe she is the birth mother!
Yes, please! I love Britt and Liesl and want them both back. If they need to cut costs to accommodate this, I have a list of characters to deep six: Lulu, Peter, Valentin, Finn dropped to recurring until they can dream up an Anna-less story for him, Mike, Stella, nuJordan, and the ever repellent Christina. Oh who am I kidding…there’s no Santa.
YES!!! Kristina is a female Morgan-DUMB and PETULANT. Can’t stand that brat! Of course, I agree-deep six the Parking Lot hire!
Yes!!! I love the Britch!!! There is so much she can do with the stories going on right now. I can’t wait to have her back!!!
I liked Britt as the ‘bitch’ she was very vivid..
Then she was turned into a softer version of herself.
I like her friendship with Felix and Brad they were very good together.
I liked her with Nikolas they had great chem.
Britt is a well rounded character and I’m looking forward to her return, if, it is indeed a fact.
((and- I’m rooting for Dr. O , and I hope once again she escapes punishment because that is what and who she is= the great villain-like, Dr.O .. !!
..
Yes, su000, YES! The bold and beauteous “Britch” is back….and not a moment too soon! What took so long? Hopefully the moment has finally arrived to reunite the best bad@$$ mother-daughter team GH has offered up in an absolute age! Both Britt and Liesl need to hang around Port Charles for awhile to spread their trademark malicious mirth and merriment….and just in time for Dr.. O.’s favorite holiday: “Halloween!”
I am not interested in seeing her return if its for another of her Britchy parts. We all know Brad helped her with her evil schemes, so mabey she will help him keep Michael’s son. That little shmuck Brad will do whatever it takes to get what he wants, even if It means losing Lucas, I hope.
She could also be coming back because of her mother, or maybe she will be Ryan’s first victim, now that he’s back.

George Cheeks, CBS President & CEO, on Timeline to Launch New Daytime Drama, ‘The Gates’: “We’re So Focused on Getting it Right”
March 2024 will be remembered in the TV and soap world when the news broke that CBS is prepping a brand new daytime drama. Many had thought a major network would never bring a new daytime soap into the world, given that the last time it was attempted was 25 years ago when the now defunct Passions bowed on NBC.
However, The Gates is definitely in development and moving forward with some major players associated with it including: Michele Val Jean as The Gates writer, showrunner and one of its executive producers, and Sheila Ducksworth from NAACP Venture
Now, for the first time since its announcement, George Cheeks, the president and CEO of CBS and chief content officer for news and sports at Paramount+, spoke on the project that will feature a Black family as its central focus who live in a wealthy gated community.
Speaking with Vulture, and when asked if The Gates is really something that truly has a chance of getting on the air, Cheeks clarified, “It’s super real. And just to give you a little bit of the backstory, when we hired Sheila Ducksworth to run the NAACP Venture, she and I had multiple meetings talking about what different genres she was going to lean into, and we talked a lot about daytime.”
Cheeks added, “One of the things that the data made very clear to both of us is that daytime soap operas over index with Black women, and yet when you look at soap operas, it’s usually sort of a white-led family with supporting characters that reflect more of our society. So we just thought, wouldn’t it be interesting to flip that and make the core anchor family a Black family, and then make the other characters reflect more the broader scope of society?”
The CEO gave props to Michele Val Jean, and how Ducksworth came to the table with the former B&B and GH writer. “She found this great writer, Michele Val Jean, who’s been in the soap opera space for 30 years. She came up with a pitch, and we loved it,” shares Cheeks. “We brought Procter & Gamble into it as well, because if there were going to be (product) integrations, we could do it more holistically and organically. All of that is to say, we did a lot of work on the front end to put this together. So while yes, it’s development, it’s accelerated development.”
When prodded on the timeline of when The Gates could come to full fruition, Gates related, “The actual timeline and when we’re going to do it is still uncertain, because we want to get this right. I mean, there hasn’t been a new soap opera launch since I can’t even begin to tell you when. But we have great success with Bold and the Beautiful and Young and the Restless, and so we think we’re the right folks to be launching a new soap. I wish I could tell you more about exact timing, but we’re so focused on getting it right, and that will dictate when we’re ready to launch it.”
The CBS exec also shared that whether The Gates will wind up an hour soap or half-hour is not yet determined, but that it is being developed as an hour show.
So, after reading what George Cheeks, the CBS President & CEO had to say about ‘The Gates’, are you even more excited for what looks to the first new network soap in 25 years? Comment below.

51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards Announce Broadcast Date on CBS
The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) revealed on Tuesday, that the 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards will be broadcast live on Friday night, June 7th (8 – 10 PM, ET/delayed PT) on the CBS Television Network, and available to stream live and on-demand on Paramount+*.
This year will mark the 18th time CBS has broadcast the Daytime Emmy Awards, which is more than any other network.
The 2024 Daytime Emmys will take place at the Westin Bonaventure in downtown Los Angeles. Back in December of 2023, the delayed 50th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards were also held at that venue. The June 7th date for the upcoming ceremony will be the first time in several years that the event is scheduled a few weeks earlier than normal; excluding last year’s revised date to the actors and writers strikes.
Lifetime Achievement honoree, nominations, host, and additional information will be announced in the coming weeks.
In a statement, Adam Sharp, President and CEO of NATAS noted, “We eagerly anticipate our return in June as we once again partner with CBS to recognize the exceptional and talented individuals who make daytime television great. We’re thrilled to kick off our second half-century of the Daytime Emmys.”
The Daytime Emmy Awards have recognized outstanding achievement in television programming and crafts since 1974, honoring work in a variety of categories, including daytime dramas, talk shows, instructional programming, hosting, culinary, and legal/courtroom programs. In 2021, NATAS and the Television Academy jointly announced plans to realign the Daytime and Primetime Emmy Awards to be organized by content genre, as opposed to program airtime.
The 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards will once again be produced by NATAS and Associated Television International (ATI), which produced Daytime Emmy Award ceremonies on The CW in 2009 and on CBS in 2010, 2011, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. Adam Sharp and Lisa Armstrong are executive producers from NATAS, while David McKenzie is executive producer from ATI.
So, glad to know that the 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards honoring performance and shows in the 2023 calendar year, will be held in early June this year, and once again broadcast on CBS? Comment below.
