General Hospital
Kelly Thiebaud Exits General Hospital In Emotional Scenes & Shares Goodbye Message! Ron Carlivati & Jason Thompson Tweet Sentiments Too!
Courtesy/Twitter
The Britch has left the building! Actually, via the Port Charles pier! Today’s episode of General Hospital looks to be the last one for now for Kelly Thiebaud, who won fans and critics alike over with her multi-dimensional performance as Dr. Britt Westbourne!
Originally coming on GH to truly stir up a trouble in the romance department and more for Dr. Patrick Drake (Jason Thompson), Thiebaud’ s Britt was truly a bad girl, a very bad girl, only she ended up humanized along the way. And in her second chance on love with Nikolas Cassadine (Tyler Christopher), her deceptions caught up with her one final time as Nikolas kicked her to the curb.
With nowhere left to go, Britt was now heading out of town with her mother Liesl (Kathleen Gati)! Only on today’s airshow, things didn’t go exactly as planned. We will not get into the minutia of the final scenes to let everyone get caught up, but to suffice to say, they were emotional and you needed the hankies! Beautiful played by Thiebaud, Gati, and Nicolas Bechtel (Spencer Cassadine).
Kelly posted a very special message on Instagram today: “Hey you beautiful, awesome people! It’s been so hard reading your tweets about me leaving the show and not being able to respond. I wanted to wait till my last episode aired to say my goodbyes. And here we are … What a fun and challenging adventure it has been. It went by too fast. I decided not to resign my contract because I would like to book other roles on prime time shows and film. You have to follow your dreams right! Thank you for all the love and support. I hope you will continue to follow me onto the next adventure. I love you all – Britch!”
On Twitter, GH head writer Ron Carlivati gave Kelly a wonderful acknowledgement relating: “We are going to miss the Britch but we are going to miss @kellythiebaud even more! Best of luck with your next chapter, Kelly! xoxo Ron“
Jason Thompson who Kelly shared so many scenes with at the beginning of her GH run tweeted: “Proud of @kellythiebaudand what she accomplished with her time on GH. You will be missed.”
So, what are your thoughts on the exit of Kelly Thiebaud? Let us know what you thought of her scenes on today’s airshow! Comment below as we say farewell for now to this talented gal!

I am not the biggest Britt fan due to the writing of the character, but her scenes today with little Spencer broke my heart. I could honestly tell a difference in her acting. She was truly devastated about leaving, but i’m happy for her and hope she makes it in primetime or film. If not, i’m sure Port Charles would love to have the Britch return and cause mayhem.
Oh, and I hope this doesn’t that Nick and Liz are reuniting. Oh for the love of all things holy. Please stop the madness with these two.
Sadly, I do not think the powers that be have enough vested in the Elizabeth character to give her anything meaningful story wise. 🙁
Otherwise, we should have had a chance to explore the Elizabeth and Jason story years ago. As much chemistry and Rebecca Herbst and Billy Miller are showing, I think we are going to get the rug pulled out from under us on this one too.
I agree, her best scenes on the show was the one where she said goodbye to Spencer.
That would be “reined”……
Nicholas :
headed right back to Liz’ house… the minute he AGAIN called if off… twice now, with Britta
Liz isn’t going to take him back….
I bet Tyler, himself, did not like playing this out as well
@Timmmm : the guru, himself, bestowed and laurels your repartee. YES!
fantastic…hitting on all cylinders! she wasn’t a favorite 0 mine when she started out but she morphed the character into something fantastic! I now await her scenes…this mother/daughter duo needs to reconnect at a later date 😉
all the best, Kelly!
Kelly’s scenes today with Kathleen and Nicolas were exquisite. Heartbreaking, and yes, I needed the tissues.
I agree. Not in a million years would I have thought that the scene at the pier would bring me to tears….and, from the supposedly most cold-hearted characters on GH !! I was so moved…wonder of wonders. It was such a tender moment shared between Britt and her mother and Faison. I actually FELT real love. Wow, these characters truly outdid themselves. The sincere affection between Kelly and little Nicolas tore at my heartstrings…..I wear my heart on my sleeve, so I can relate. The moment was palpable. Even more of a shocker was Helena’s simple gesture of comfort as… Read more »
I would also like to add that Helena’s remark, “….Over my dead body…” cracked me up. Cute, writers….how a’ propos.
Nicely said CeeCee…those scenes at the pier were GH at its finest…we need more of that…ill miss Kelly/Britt…if thats her recast coming i hope its just a temp and Kelly returns but if not i wish Kelly the best!!!
I’ve been a Britt fan from Day One….with her beguiling beauty and devilish, devious demeanor, KT was the perfect soap vixen. I shall greatly miss her crafty contributions to the GH canvas….particularly those hatched with her BFF Brad and of course, maniacal mother, the “Magnificent Mutter.” I was at least gratified (and enormously relieved….) that Liesl Obrecht shall live another day in Port Charles to further wreak havoc and wax maternal with Nathan….I could not have borne the thought of KG’s departure, too! Having said that, the “Family Faison” were truly touching and heartwarmingly human as they bade their auf… Read more »
Kelly was great and that little Spencer dude is going to be a mover and a groover when he gets older! One thing that was odd was Britt leaving with the man she despised, Faison. But, I guess she felt it was her only chance to avoid jail time for her crimes against Nick?
When Nicolas said he was going to bring her up on charges I sort of understood it and wasn’t so taken aback. Upon reflection…it was a bit much. The man supposedly loved her enough to marry her and be a mom to Spencer…he knows Spencer loves her…and he knows she would never harm him…willfully. And…he never really heard how she kept tabs on him. If I remember correctly he did tell her he was hiding out at Carly’s…though not at first…and THAT’s when she should have been mature enough to admit her scheme and find him. But it should have… Read more »
I type so fast and multi-task that I don’t catch my own grammatical mistakes, typos, etc. Frustrating! I’ll let you, dear reader, fix them for me in your head. 🙂
So i guess the person who said Kelly Frye was the new Britt could be right after all…sigh!!!
I thought the role was “IVY” …a new character? wonder whatever happened to the character that was supposed to be Sean and Tiffanys daughter?
We really dont know…she still could be their daughter or a whole new character but im still hoping she is Scotts daughter Serena!!!
She did a fantastic job in her portrayal of Britt. We hated her from day one and we were supposed to. But then…they showed us her human side and her friendship with Brad and Spencer…and damn it! – I started to not hate her so much. I enjoyed the ride and wish you the best luck in whatever role you take on next. Maybe we will see the Britch again one day.
I haven’t seen it yet, but I HAVE to say, that this actress and her portrayal of Britta won me over … big time! I COULD NOT STAND Britt when she was coming onto Patrick and being a thorn in Elizabeth’s side, but they found the right scene partner for her in Tyler Christopher. I loved watching Britt find someone who loved her. I also LOVED her friendship with Brad. That is another character and actor that won me over and, I did not think it was possible. I kept their scenes from the Nurses’ Ball on my Tivo for… Read more »
Pretty much everything I wanted to say. They seemed to be bringing crazy doctor after crazy doctor in to seduce Patrick. I couldn’t stand “The Britch” in the beginning, but when she found real love with Nikolas, I started to love her. I love Kelly and hope she either comes back to GH sometime in the future or that we see a lot of her elsewhere.
I haven’t seen it either… but had to get in my fan salute oh….. double oh and sigh I have to concur with Jake NJ below…. nice accolade ! she met herself a man! a life partner…. i’m happy for her she triggered from the very start… on so many levels… that’s says alot for a new character to resonate and mix throughout Port Charles Take care Kelly Thiebaud i’m going to miss her mother/daughter relationship… that still has so many roads to traverse I’m going to miss her friendship with Brad at the hospital…. a real tried and true… Read more »
Kelly will be dearly missed. she’s very talented and I know she’ll go very far best of luck to you Kelly
Her final scenes were awesome today–she and Spencer=amazeballs.
Britt was a well developed character and Kelly played her with such finesse. She also fell in love with Bryan. I sure hope the new actress is not a Britt recast. I hope they are just resting her character.
I hated Britt when she first came to town, and then I kind of started to like her, but then the whole embryo stealing and assisted runaway thing happened and I lost all respect for Britt again. Kelly Thiebaud is a fine actress, and I think she portrayed Britt well, but I couldn’t stand the character. I’m happy she’s gone and I don’t wish for her to return any time soon. And, since she just exited, I doubt Kelly Frye is a recast Britt. Hopefully she will turn out to be Sarah Webber or Anna Donnelly, but other than that,… Read more »
GH production, should do any thing they can to hold on to the character of Carlos.
the actor, Jeffrey Vincent Parise: he is such a natural on screen with thee “whole” cast… and shines right along with
“Newbie” Salute :
Britta
Carlos
Brad
i’m sure there are more… but… these three I cheer all the way… in however, GH… features
they are not big names… but they certainly have figured BIG in Port Charles
I Love them
back to Carlos : what if he stays on in Port Charles … as a love interest for Rosalie… another newbie who shines
Ooh! that would be an interesting pairing, Patrick! Rosalie and Carlos! (unless she turns out to be his sister! lol.) By the way, I’ve mentioned this before but I think the actress resembles Katherine Heigl…(Gray’s Anatomy, State of Affairs)…do you know of her? Very similar face…
Rosalie is tied to a main character. Maybe shes a Zacharro?
Hmmmmm…dunno, Timmm. I just wonder IF she’s related to a mob family why she seemed so freaked out by Michael’s violence and then Sonny and his guards…as if this was something that’s never been a part of her world…Interesting to see how it plays out…..
I was not a fan in the beginning but she won me over and at times I was rooting for her. Today she really turned a corner. Her scenes with “Spencer” were very heartfelt, you could see the pain in her eyes and huge tears rolling down her cheeks. Maybe someday she will be back, but today was quite a performance and maybe not really a performance after all.
I will miss Britt & KT. I wish her all the best. She is lovely and very talented.
I liked The Britch …
Britt was rather bland..
Britt and Nikolas were a snore..
I wish they would have never put out the fire of The Britch ..
but-
Kelly is beautiful and a great actress..
I am sure she will find her acting happiness and a great career outside of GH..
We will be seeing Kelly 🙂
((I had a chuckle seeing Kelly signed her message
” I love you all – Britch!”
Awesome stuff, su0000! Agreed!
I wish her mother had gone instead. Or, too.
Kelly just might make it in prime time. She’s good.
Yes. Several former & current soap stars are doing primetime now. Soap actors used to be kind of the black sheep of the acting world. but not much now. These days there are so many more options & more television shows. Billy Miller is doing a lot of primetime now-next up is Suits Parry Shen (Brad) recently did NCIS: Los Angeles Nathan Parsons (Ethan) has recurring or regular roles True Blood and The Originals! Jonathan Jackson (Lucky) is a regular on Nashville There’s no reason Kelly can’t succeed as well! She is stunningly beautiful and a solid actor. I loved… Read more »
My favorite character on the show from her beginning. I loved the way she stirred up trouble, and also when she joined the Cassadine clan. I’m hoping for a re-cast, cause GH needs the Britch.
I love Kelly to bits…though, I too, hope for a re-cast in a few months time.
You’re right, GH needs the Britch as does Brad.
I cried today when her and Spencer said good-bye. I am going to miss her. She was beautiful and a great actress.
I will miss Kelly.. she kept things interesting. I cried right along with her and Spencer.. what a tear jerking scene. .Kelly. you are a wonderful actress. Good luck in your future roles… hope to see you back some time. .. will be watching for you. ..
U are gonna be missed. Hope u come back soon.
Great character, great Actress, sad to see both leave.
For all the people who keep saying the cast has to be pared down…it’s dwindling way too fast! Spinelli, Connie, Steven Weber, Lucky, Robin, Scorpio, AJ, Epiphany, now Britt. Hate it. It’s very rare don’t like a character…and when entering this fictional world it’s nice to know they’re all “there” somewhere…lol…where’s everybody going!!!!
So sorry to see Kelly go. Loved her with Nicolas, Brad, Spencer, Dr. O…would have liked to see her bond with Nathan and then Maxi…she played Britt so sincerely. Gorgeous, successful doctor who really just wanted to be loved…
Well sadly, rebecca1, we are not losing just quantity but quality, as well!!!! Those of us who have long been begging for a reduction in the bloated cast list were really quite specific as to whom we felt needed to go, and those that you mention were certainly not the primary names heard over and over again. At the risk of being redundant, I repeat that Felix, Jordan, TJ, Carlos, Grossalie, and yes, particularly, Sappy…..need to go, STAT! (I am especially waiting with bated breath for that last one….please Santa, please????) I would also be overjoyed never to see the… Read more »
Well Shay…I never think there’s a “we” or an “us” when talking about personal preference. There have been those who want Todd, Kiki and Silas to go. Nina to go. Emma and Spencer to be replaced. Felix. Now…to use your terms…there are those of “us” who like all those characters and would hope that they stay. I, and probably many, still like having Bobbie, Scotty and Lucy around. Actually, I’d particularly love to see more of Scott and Lucy. Always found those two characters amusing and endearing. My point was that the cast seems to be ever-changing and we’re losing… Read more »
Carlos and Sabrina will most likely leave town together…first i think Carlos will have his revenge…he’ll find Ava and turn her in to the law…just what i think might happen!!!
I mentioned this to you (I think it was to you, jimh) that I thought Carlos remain in town and go up against Duke’s new “family.” Not sure how the whole mob thing is going to play out if both Julian, Sonny and Ava are in jail. The new players…Duke and Carlos???
rebecca1….When I used the collective “we” and “us” I was not referring to our personal preferences, per se, but those stated from across 2013/14 MFSoaps GH threads. Particularly throughout the earlier part of this year, there were regular calls from many different posters to pare down the Port Charles population, and the names most mentioned were those that I listed. I do concur with you that the “Llanview Three” also have had more than their share of slams from discontented viewers, although I have never taken as much issue with them as others have. I sort of accepted that situation… Read more »
You and I, Shay, can go round and round in our agree to disagree merry-go-round. I was aware what you meant by “us” and “we”. I was pointing out that not all the “us’s” and “we’s” agreed on the same people…no, they didn’t…and in essence that wasn’t even my point. My point was that the canvas wasn’t even that big because for every newbie we were losing characters a lot of us loved. To my point…I don’t think there’s a “we” when it comes to Scott, Lucy or Mac. Many who have watched GH for years love those characters…loved them… Read more »
filling in missing word…understand motives, etc…DIFFERENTLY
Shay…I love the Shay on “Revenge”…the Shay on GH is, I don’t know, just different. Make sense? (Get it? I sooooo hope you get it.) 😉
Maybe Carlos will stay and be Dukes mob rival…i still feel he will go after Ava first…still think he and Sabrina will leave town together but maybe he ends up staying and Sabrina leaves by herself…
rebecca1….I get what you are saying about the differences (in attitude and content) between my posts on various threads….GH vs. Revenge/Downton/etc. but as far as I’m concerned, that’s totally down to the subject matter in question….while I have been critical on certain aspects of primetime offerings (i.e., characters like Revenge’s Margaux, Downton’s Edith, etc…… or particular storylines, cast developments, etc…..) there is simply no comparison when you consider the nature of the beasts. Afternoon serials are mostly viewed on a daily basis and over the course of many, many years…hence, there is naturally far more to pick apart and lambast,… Read more »
Don’t get your feathers in a fluff Miss Shay…I was just ruffling them! Hahahaha…I’m sorry Again, even as I type this I think it’s hilarious how incensed we all get over a freaking TV show! Myself included. But you kinda missed my reference…I was referring to what you and I were discussing about Sean Kanan being AJ vs Deacon…and how we see Sean as AJ…refer to our other discussion over at “Revenge.” As for Brad (yep, here we go again..) I don’t think many liked him at the very beginning. At the same time I enjoyed him…he was sassy, snarky… Read more »
Hey rebecca1!!!!….When I received this latest reply, I was flummoxed…here’s why! As I was composing my last response, my computer timed out and the comments disappeared….I figured I had lost them for good, was too tired to go back to square one, and decided to wait until the next day to rehash, since I had only just begun and didn’t even have a chance to edit or refine my thoughts….thank God they made some bit of sense!!!! Essentially, I was merely musing at a very late hour….no wine was involved, however….as I have never been one to imbibe in adult… Read more »
Hi Shay…I starting reading your reply on the 12th…just finished it now. lololololol! Ahem. The wine suggestion was just a tongue-in-cheek suggestion. Have a cup of green tea then…by the way, I’m a vegetarian/organic down to my organic green tea. By the way, did you know you get more antioxidants if you have the leaf tea…the powdered mess in tea bags in just “dust” and doesn’t really do it. Unfortunately, a little more difficult to get the leaves in terms of availability in stores so I drink both. As for red wine, has flavonoids, resveratrol, (though you’d need to drink… Read more »
Good one, rebecca1!!!! I’m just glad you FINALLY made it through my post! LOL. As I write this, I am already on my third green tea of the day….and reading your product “info” was like talking to myself….I’m into all the health and beauty factoids, too!!! As for the green tea, my favorite is matcha….much more antioxidant bang for your cup! But I also do tea bags, too….Harney and Sons makes a great Japanese Sencha and it’s more loose leaf than powdered….I like all the unique niche brands, like Numi and some Republic of Tea, as long as there are… Read more »
Thanks, Shay! Did you know Sean Kanan celebrates Hanukkah as well? (or at least he was raised Jewish). Which is another bone to pick…I’d like to see more Jewish characters represented in these shows. So many of the actors are…or at least part Jewish…and yet there’s nary a Jewish character or mention of Hanukkah. But I digress…
I’ll “see you” before Christmas so I’ll save my greeting to you til then!
😉
You are most welcome, rebecca1!!!! Yes, I was aware of SK’s religious background…he has actually spoken quite eloquently on Israel!!! And I agree with you the under-representation of Jewish characters on soaps is ridiculous….probably because leaders of the faith are too dignified to complain about it, unlike certain other segments of the population!!! It especially beggars belief that a hospital like GH in New York state of all places, would not have at least one Jewish doctor….give me a break! Actually, the only soap of which I am aware that ever really did a good job of realistically presenting a… Read more »
You know she was a great actress cuz she got
You to really hate the britch….love how she turned good in the end but just had bad luck. I will miss her!
I’m not sorry to see Kelly leave. I thought her acting was wooden and her lines recited very mechanically without emotion or feeling. She has a lot to learn as an actress. The character was interesting but I don’t think that Kelly was the right actress for the part. I’m glad that she is gone.
I don’t think we were watching the same actress playing the Britt character. I saw someone else altogether…I saw a compelling Kelly; whether she played the spiteful vixen or the loving friend/lover/doctor etc.
I certainly would not call her parting scene, at the pier, wooden.
Kelly grew a lot as an actress during her time on the show. She took a pretty much one dimensional role that we’ve seen before, the nut case obsessed with Patrick, and made it her own. Always loved Britt’s interactions with Spencer and especially with the fabulous Kathleen Gati as Britt’s “mutter.”
I have no doubt with someone that has the looks and talent that Kelly does, she’ll be a success at whatever she does!
I always loved Britch and Kelly. She is a wonderful, talented actress. Watching her scenes today was heartbreaking. However..I wish her last scenes were NOT with Spencer. Sorry..but that child grates on my last nerve. Actually I was hoping she would have takem him with her..a great storyline..where he disappears and returns with another actor playing his part and he aged like 5 years. Anyway…Best of luck in anything you do Kelly…I’m sure we won’t be seeing the last of you!
Oh thank you, Lynn!!!! I am gratified that there’s another viewer who finds that perturbing, pint-sized pip to be as insufferable as I do!!!! When Spencer was first introduced to us, he was such an awesomely attired and well-mannered junior gent that I was initially charmed…..then suddenly he became a mouthy mini-mister with a bratty bravado that completely turned me, particularly when he was paired with the enormously annoying Emma. While I did find his relationship with Britt to be sweet and convincing, all his scheming and machinations were simply much too much for a child of his age. Loved… Read more »
Now ladies, he is just a child and it is a character BUT there are children in real life who come from money and are raised to be above certain classes of people. I give the youngster credit. I admit it is tough at times to understand his lines but he is as smart as a whip and I enjoy pieces of him. This is an adult soap but I give GH credit for not ignoring the kids of main characters. On Y&R they will have a character playing with his binky one week and the next week he wrecks… Read more »
That’s so funny, Lynn. I couldn’t love Spencer more. I think this little actor is beyond adorable and has the right amount of “attitude”, pomposity, self-entitlement…in combination with a sincerity, innocence, intelligence, humor…all packaged in one way cute boy who embodies the perfect mini Cassadine. LOL…loved his scenes with Britt and think the father/son chemistry between him and Tyler is perfection.
I agree. I thought him and Britt were the perfect way for her to end her exit. A lot of times kids dont get to play out scenes where they are most affected. I’m relieved it wasnt with Nick. He and Britt would have fought and she would have walked out and that would have been the end of her. Her and Spencer’s goodbye sets her up for a welcomed return in the future. Remember, Spencer never knew his mother so Britt was special to him.
I’m with Timmm on this one.
Isn’t it refreshing to SEE and HEAR the kids on the show? It is a nice break from everybody hopping into bed after knowing one another for a second. I do like that the kids are given a chance to grow with their characters instead of being SORASED all the time.
Amen, Timmm…..PV.
Too many good people leave daytime and are never heard from again. She is talented though but still.
I will miss Kelly. I loved her as Britt. I thought she gave Nicholas some sparkle. Loved her scenes with Spencer.
Good Luck Kelly! Wishing you all the best!
I cried so much saw ur eyes teared up my throat got lumpy n ohhhh my god little spencer face expression priceless saw his eyes n yup holding back was speechless gd luck in ur next chapter n I will definitely b looking out for u
I think it is a mistake letting her go she is a wonderful actress. I think she would have been great with Nicholas and Spencer. I love the relationship the little guy had with her, so close and touching. Wish she was not leaving and you could get her back. Like having real life relationships on here with the ups and downs. All the coming back to life stuff is a bit overboard.
I loved her! I thought the writers did a great job of crafting a character we loved to hate and then ended up rooting for to find happiness. Kelly humanized the Britch and won me over. I wish her well and hope she books her dream jobs. Selfishly, I can’t wait to see her on GH again.
Maybe she will return with Faison..
I loved loved loved Britt leaving with her father Faison !!
That was awesome and very unexpected!
and I was shocked when Dr O stayed for her son and did not leave with Faison, her love.
The acting by all on the dock was outstanding!!!
Britt and Faison will return, imo ..
What great farewell scenes especially between Brit and Spencer. I felt the love. And what a great character and real life person Kelly is. Best of luck in your new venture!
Going to miss her terribly. The chemistry between she and the actors portraying Dr. O and Spencer was just wonderful. She’s had some really great scenes with them that I’ll always remember. I wish nothing but the best for her, and hope she will come back at some point.
Awesome farewell scenes indeed 🙁 Goodluck Kelly 🙂
Acting is a tough career. I give Kelly credit for walking away from a paycheck and following her heart. I would not recast the role. I would give the actress some time to try other roles. If she becomes a movie star then you recast if her role is still relevant to the show. Did anyone besides me think she could be a twin to Megan Fox?
oh..yes I hadn’t though of the resemblance but I can see it. And I agree with you about not recasting. For now, we all assume she’s bonding with daddy…lol…far, far away. If/when the character comes back, I guess we’ll see if Kelly is available. Selfishly, I hope she will be. (I’m so wary of the longevity of soaps these days that I wonder if GH will be available if she wants to come back!) 😉
I dont see soaps today on their last leg. I think the four of them are good and respected. I hope they all last. If you wonder about longevity, look no further than prime time. You get a week or two and if a show doesnt come out of the gate strong, CANCELLED! Look at John Stamos, he had a show that didnt even air and they pulled it from airing. So Kelly could very well be back and it could very well not be because she failed. Its a tough go in Hollywood.
ahhhhhhhhhh…don’t agree with part of your statement. I DO agree about prime time. There are a few shows I really started getting into and pouf! they’re gone! I find myself checking the ratings/key demographics to see if they have a fighting chance. I almost feel like there’s no point in watching and getting invested in characters/story because the shows just disappear after one season. Very disappointing. As for soaps, I don’t believe they’r out of hot water. To my understanding…you or anyone can correct me if I’m wrong, but from what I’ve read they’re still very expensive to produce and… Read more »
Yes, soaps cost a lot more to produce than a cooking show, for example. I’m willing to bet that all the cooks on the “Chew” wouldnt even make what Maurice Bernard makes combined! Soaps cut corners to keep costs down. In the eighties GH was famous for going on location during sweeps. It was so cool and it gave the actors and the viewers some refreshing moments to enjoy. I still dont understand why GH and other shows dont put their advertisers products in the show more often. Have a Coke at Kellys or have T.J. washing dishes in the… Read more »
LOL…Timmm. I don’t remember if it was you or Harry who once said they should have Britt and other hospital staff standing around the candy/vendor machine at the hospital. And then…they DID! Do you remember that? Actually, Parry just showed one scene where he and Britt were talking while eating candy bars…
Was it Harry? Yeah, its weird, soap stories are strange to begin with but you want some realistic stuff from our everyday lives in the show. One thing I’ve seen a couple times on GH and it was cool. Do you remember they had characters texting each other and they flashed the word bubbles on the screen. I thought that was cool and different.
yep; they’ve done that a few times now. OLTL (Prospect Park’s version) did that too. I think they also did it with facebook or some facsimile of…
We all hated the Britch, but loved her when she showed her human side. My favorite on the show and I hate to see her go. My best wishes for her.
soo sorry to here that you are leaving general hospital hope you’ll come back again and i wish you the best your a great actresss
I think we should keep Britt and get rid of Elizabeth. 😉
“GH” is emmy’ing
that’s Bravo
I just wrapped Kelly Thiebaud
the dam has crested
you can isolate their individual performances… yet it’s bond and equate your shared
Britta
w/ Leisl, Faison, Spence
and Brad
and Elizabeth
and Nina
and whomever she portraits
I was teared out
Britta to Spence :
the one thing about Nicholas
“I got to meet you” ala Ben
the acknowledgement of love between her mother and father
I’m bowled over
I rest my case…. she just emmy’ied her body of work
Billy Miller is stupefying
stupendous
superlative
sudden
suddenly he unwraps envelops characterizes… his GH
he’s more than Jason… he’s stratosphere
the men of GH are parylaying excellence Anthony Geary…. and all the “flukes” thats a compliment to deem his character Maurice Benard…. his demeanor and cornered caged imprisoned… radiates Jason Thompson… is bursting forth without his cornerstone… and delving Billy Miller …. there’s more to handsome …emmied.. salivate… and i’m triggered Carlos : welcome to the show… you envelop with and pique… wanton please Parry Shen : you widdled away at the scene and persevered … you ARE Brandon Barash : you are needed back… to bring Carly to life… and ALL the fans i’d lose it if Ingo Rademacher… Read more »
Awesome stuff, Patrick!
I agree. That performance was definitely emmy worthy. Great acting on everybody’s part.
The britch @kellythibaud you will definitely be missed, have to admit at 1st I didn’t care for u but you have definitely grown on me yes u will be missed!
Let’s face it: Kelly is talented and beautiful! If producers are smart, they will hire her! I am so grateful to GH for the character of Britt and more so to Kelly for making Britt not only human but likable. There is so much about GH I don’t like, but Britt has been an incredibly bright spot! Her goodbye scenes on the docks were beyond moving. Britt was originally a villainess. So in these moving scenes, we had one former villainess, two current villainesses, and one villain. And Spencer! And these characters brought me to tears, particularly Britt’s interaction with… Read more »
I too was rather startled by the last bit of the scene, with Ice Queen Helena actually trying to comfort Liesl. But then—Helena does understand maternal love, even if her way of expressing it is incredibly destructive and incredibly dysfunctional. One of her running justifications for the horrendous things she does is family/love for her sons, her grandson, etc. So perhaps it shouldn’t have been so surprising. But it sure was!
I really like Britt with Nicholas. He needs someone with a spark. He should forgive her. They were building a relationship after the “kidnapping”, Spencer loves her, and deep down so does Nicholas. If she comes back, and “Nick” is not with anyone else, this could be revisited.
I very rarely, if ever cry over a soap opera. Not since the death of Delia on the Young and the Restless. But when Britt was telling Spencer to be strong and go back to the father that loves him more than anything, that did for me. The child playing Spencer is terrific. I think he deserves some kind of award at the next Daytime Emmy awards for his talent. I think it was a powerful scence on everybody’s part. To see that these supposed “crazies” have such genuine feelings for each other really bought the secene home. Looking forward… Read more »
PLEASE BRING BRITT BACK I LOVE HER AND SPENCER TOGETHER
I really always wanted the Britch to get nicer! She was much too beautiful for the roll she was written. I mean, come on…this girl was stunningly beautiful!

GH’s Charles Shaughnessy On Victor’s Villainy: “He’s Just Making Trouble for All of the Fan Favorites! He’s Just Making Their Lives Miserable”
In pretty short order, Victor Cassadine’s re-emergence in Port Charles, and now played by daytime vet, Charles Shaughnessy, has caused plenty of havoc on ABC’s General Hospital. Shaughnessy, who was much beloved as Shane Donovan on Days of our Lives, debuted on GH back in September of 2021.
You can look at the body count, or the people Victor has under his thumb, to know the impact he is making on the canvas.
In a new interview in the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest (on newsstand now), Shaughnessy weighs-in on being the treacherous Cassadine.
Charles shared: “I mean, he’s just making trouble for all of the fan favorites! He’s just making their lives miserable. He’s the guy who killed Luke Spencer. He’s the guy who put Anna in jail and tried to break up her relationship with Valentin. He’s just miserable to Holly. He’s just dreadful! But it’s such great fun, I mean, the more dreadful the better, really. He’s the villain you love to hate.”

So, how and just when Victor will get his comeuppance is on everyone’s mind in the viewing audience as well as for characters such as: Laura (Genie Francis), Valentin (James Patrick Stuart), Lucy (Lynn Herring), Holly (Emma Samms), Anna (Finola Hughes), Ava (Maura West), Selina (Lydia Look), and many more.
Victor’s evil deeds seemed to reach new heights during the Holly Sutton storyline. Now the question is, who will he go after next, given what would seem to be his quest for the necklace containing diamonds from the Ice Princess? Stay tuned.
What do you think of Charles’ portrayal of Victor? Who do you hope takes down Victor? Comment below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Felicia, Robert & Holly’s Masterplan Revealed Featuring Heart-Tugging Moments from Tristan Rogers & Emma Samms
Wednesday’s General Hospital began where the previous episode left off, with an on-fire, Holly Sutton (Emma Samms), literally! As the action picks up, Robert (Tristan Rogers) covers Holly with blankets to try and douse the flames. The paramedics announce Holly has suffered second-degree burns over 75% of her body.
When the ambulance takes off, Robert goes with it. Meanwhile, Jordan (Tanisha Harper) and Mac (John J. York) are looking for evidence from the cabin fire … and wonder where the necklace has gone?

Later, the ambulance pulls over to the side of the road, and one of the drivers is none other than paramedic Felicia Scorpio (Kristina Wagner)! Felicia reveals herself as does Holly, who is perfectly fine, and Robert, who was in on the entire ruse to get Holly safely out of the country and away from Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy).
Viewers learn in flashbacks how this trio worked together to pull this off: Felicia showed up at the cabin with fire retardant clothes for Holly to wear and revealed how she planned to set the stove to start the fire. We then learn that Holly and Robert staged Robert’s drugging and mugging, in order for Holly to steal the necklace and leave it inside the cabin for the PCPD to find. It was Holly’s plan to ensure that Victor would have no further use for her.
Next, Robert gives Holly the keys to a car that can’t be traced; as she is to drive to Canada with a new ID and completely disappear. Felicia adds that records will show that Holly was taken to a burn facility halfway around the world, freeing her to find out just where Victor is holding her beloved son, Ethan.

Holly has a surprise in store for Victor on her departure! In a flashback, Holly meets up with Selina Wu (Lydia Look) on the pier and gifts her with one of the jewels from the necklace in exchange for poisoning Victor for her. Holly tells Selina she won’t find her son alive and well if Victor is dead, and assures Selina the poison will not kill Victor, but will be payback.
As the episode comes to a conclusion, and if you are a longtime fan of GH, you probably reached for the hankies in touching and beautifully-played moments between Tristan Rogers and Emma Samms.

In the story, Holly apologizes to Robert for all the trouble she has caused, but the two share a passionate kiss before they say their final goodbyes. BUT .. you didn’t think Holly would try to get away without one last scheme? She had the necklace in her pocket the whole time, begging the question … was she going to take it with her? However, Robert knew Holly had the necklace and asks her to hand it over to him, which she does.
For her final moments, Holly walks off into the fog, which could only signify that this guest star turn for Emma Samms has come to its conclusion.
So, what did you think about the twists on today’s episode? Did you think Robert, Felicia and Holly were in cahoots? What did you think of the final scenes between Tristan Rogers and Emma Samms? Comment below.
