Kelly Thiebaud Shares Her Excitement at Former Leading Man, Steve Burton’s ‘General Hospital’ Return
Before Steve Burton (Jason Morgan) exited General Hospital in November of 2021, he was involved in a story with the late Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) when they were on the run and she was learning more about her Huntington’s Disease diagnosis.
Before Britt’s untimely poisoning (thanks to “The Hook”) in January of 2023, she believed that Jason had died when the tunnel collapsed on top of him. Now in 2024, poor Britt has no idea that Jason is alive.
Earlier this week, Burton took to his Instagram on March 5th letting all of his fans know that “Today is the day!” Are you ready? My first General Hospital show back!”

Eagle-eyed fans checked the comment section to Steve’s post on his day back, and there was a reply from Kelly Thiebaud. The Daytime Emmy-winning actress expressed, “I guess I need to tune in today and see where you’ve been hiding!”
From there, several fans wished Kelly could return to GH as well including: Spartee_ 1986 who wrote to Thiebaud, “Wish you could come back too! Smrivera1 responded, “You need to come back. We miss you ❤” while pswhary66 wrote, “Kelly Thiebaud, what would make this so much better is if you two would come back together as a couple! 👏❤❤”

In story on GH, as Jason returned this week, Dante was shot twice. The FBI and the PCPD think Jason may be the shooter, or working for the organization behind the shooting, and evidence surfaced that he is alive. By Friday, a wounded Jason ended up at Carly’s seeking help.
So, do you wish Britt was still alive so she could be in a relationship with Jason? Share your thoughts below, and in case you missed it, check out our interview with Kelly when she visited the Michael Fairman Channel one year ago after her exit.

I guess I’m in the minority and I do not want to see her return. I still see her as the villain that stole Lulu/Dante’s baby and was horrible to Emma among other things. Also, I didn’t think Jason and Britt were that special.
I agree with you. I hope GH do not mess up this time by putting Carley with Jason. Frank Valentine change their story for Britt.It will always be Jason and Sam.
It has been made clear over the years that Steve and Kelly Monaco feel that it is best that they don’t work together that closely!
So, you don’t miss Britt & Brad at the hospital manipulating tests and gossiping?!?! I DO!!!
Bring the Britch back with Brad in tote.
I agree 100 percent. She isn’t needed back, and I didn’t care for her with Jason. She was always trying to figure him out and obsess over his thinking.
All these characters have done bad things. I will say that I have never forgiven Sam for what she did to Elizabeth and Jake back in the day and it was so out of character for Jason to even go back with her after that (even Steve thought so)k, so I get where you are coming from. I think everyone was just tired of Jason being with the same women over and over who just hurt him anyway. He didn’t have a lot of baggage with Britt. I was never a fan over, but honestly, it was nice for him to be with someone with a pulse and who was snarky because he and Sam were so boring. She is so morose and he’s quiet so it was like watching paint dry. I enjoyed how she teased him. I don’t know if I could have been a total shipper because she annoys me, but I was just happy that it was someone new.
No, I don’t won’t her to return either.. She wanted to leave to be with her fiance in aother country.. She wanted Britt to die, that’s why they gave her a deadly disease & then poison her with Heather’s hook.. I didn’t like Britt when she came on the first time, she was awful to Emma, Sabrina, etc, that’s why she became known as the “Britch”,lol..THen her stealing Lulu’s embryo, and having a baby that wasn’t hers. I did like her with Julian, for a bit.. But never liked her with Jason..To me Jason cared about her cause of her disease..He got with her on a rebound from Sam.. The only reason Sam broke up with him, is because she was afraid her kids were targets because of Jason mob world.. not because she didn’t love him. I don’t like Carly & Jason being a couple either.. They are better as best friends,
She broke up[ with him because he didn’t include her. Like she didn’t bring danger and almost get Jason killed during that cult storyline. She didn’t care about their safety then or when she was stalking Jason and could have gone back to prison. It was so hypocritical because she knew the danger and was addicted to it as well. She convinced him that she could handle his life and guilted hi into having a child and then in the end, she was just like everyone else.
Steve/Jason is not a big deal..he is way over rated….He is a monotone robot actor…same ol’…
Just because you’re a hater doesn’t make it so. He says more with his eyes than anyone. If you understood Jason, you’d see the character differently. Considering he started out with more personality and then as people he thought he could trust hurt him over and over he put up a wall and shut down. It makes sense to have him only open up to certain people. Even when he does that or even is playful at times, people say he’s a robot. He’s not. The writing was so much better in the beginning and he was fantastic. He’s brain-damaged and a killer. He’s not supposed overly chatty, but he shows anger and vulnerability and is softer with the people he truly cares about. How is that monotone?
I definitely wanted Britt to be the one that faked her death with Obrechts help and went back to the tunnels to save Jason! I love them and she could be pregnant with his baby!
Honestly, Obrecht secretly curing Britt’s Huntington’s is the only acceptable explanation for dropping out of her grandson’s life.
There’s no cure for Huntingtons. And it’s too late to say it was a misdiagnosis.
Bring back Britt, no way should he be with Carly!!!!!!
If Kelly Thiebaud wanted to come back, I would be happy about GH resurrecting Brit.
Soaps are fiction. When GH writes true medical issues into a story, the actors in the roles do an outreach announcement at the end of those episodes and always provide helpline information. Y & R does this as well.
That said, if they want to write crazy fantasy stories for returning actors, I am all for it.
I am sure there are viewers who can recall the “What If” minuets when ABC had characters from all their soaps “bump into each other” in odd senerios… so… if she wants to return.. great !
I grew to love KT’s portrayal of Britt in her on and off decade on GH. Kelly could pull a Michael Easton or Roger Howarth and come back as a new character. Brit, however is dead-dead. If it wasn’t the hook, she was about to enter a later stage in non-curable Huntington’s disease.
GH is running into a similar situation with Gregory and ALS. No known cure and an onscreen mention of the diagnosis from the Mayo Clinic. Little did the departing writers know that they’d hit gold with Gregory & Tracy. Maybe Gregory has a never before mentioned twin that can be paired with Tracy?
If you want Britt to come back up, give me a call, Frank!
Cute, but Britt had thoroughly redeemed herself and took went north after her passing.
Would love to have her back
Hope Kelly comes back if not as Britt then someone else. They did it with Michael Eastman and Roger Howarth, they can do it woth Kelly Thiebaud!
I want Britt back with Jason them made the best couple so much passion
Bring Britt back!! They had fabulous chemistry ❤️
Time to resurrect Britt. Is it possible that’s who he’s helping by doing this? Highly unlikely it will be Britt but would love to have her back none the less.
I don’t know why everyone is obsessed with who Jason gets with, I mean is it really that important? why is a love relationship so primary for our entertainment? does he really need to be with Carly? I mean her blind faith in him is really more of a turn off then a turn on, I feel Jason could have killed Bobbie and Carly would have forgiven him, pathetic indeed. Sam already said no to being with him, so is she now gonna fall out of love with Dante to be with someone who has misplace loyalty? Sonny is already ready to kill him, What Jason needs to do is concentrate on his two sons, they should be first and anyone else can stand by, Oh, and Michael wondering about what’s up with the tattoo, well that’s simple Michael, uncle Jason midlife crisis finally hit him plain and simple.

Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric

With the highly-anticipated returns of Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) on this week’s June 24 episode of General Hospital, Steve Burton’s (Jason Morgan) upcoming return on July 13, which also serves as the ABC daytime drama’s 16,000 episode, things are about to fire on all cylinders in the story, as noted today by series star, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos).
On Father’s Day, the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning actor and mental health activist took to his Instagram and expressed in a video that he has some unbelievable upcoming senes with the aforementioned Burton and Hughes. Add to that Nazneen Contractor (Justine Turner) and Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing), where Benard gave credit where credit is due to the GH writing team, which is led by co-head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten..
In this video, Benard said, “I just want to get on here and say that I did some work with Steve Burton, Finola Hughes, Rick Hearst, Nazneen Contractor, and they’re all just fantastic. Truly fantastic. But, I want to say the writing was just exceptional. It truly was. It was exceptional. So, thankful for that kind of writing. I know writers don’t get the credit a lot, but I just want to say to the General Hospital writing team, keep rolling!”
GENERAL HOSPITAL PREVIEW
So now the question becomes, with a major tease like that, what is about to go down between Sonny, Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric? Will we finally get to the end of the line for Sidwell (Carlo Rota), as previously teased by the GH co-head writers? Will we learn what happened to Jason and Anna, fully? Will Justine and Sonny becomes closer or stop their liaisons? And what of Ric? Will he be true blue to his brother or double-cross him? There is a lot at stake as we move further into the summer and one that looks like it could be one of the more exciting ones in years!
FINOLA HUGHES CONFIRMED AMAZING SCENES WITH MAURICE BENARD
As a punctuation point to his video, Benard also shared this written message in the post: “I just did some wonderful scenes with Steve Burton, Rick Hearst, Finola Hughes and Nazneen Contractor and and unbelievable writing, freaking amazing scenes that you will see in the near future on General Hospital.” In fact, Finola Hughes jumped in the post comment thread and responded, “I loved our scenes so much xxx”
Fans will most likely see all the scenes Benard referred to later in July, since GH tapes approximately six weeks ahead of air.
So, are you excited to see what Maurice is talking about? Are you hyped for what’s to come on GH? Any clue on what you think will go down between the main characters on the soap with the returns of Anna Devane and Jason Morgan to the mix? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

SINCE LEAVING GENERAL HOSPITAL
Previously, since his departure from the ABC soap opera. Chad starred alongside Zach Mendez in the world premiere of of Yum Yum at Annapolis, a new play written by Bruce Reisman. Duell last appeared on General Hospital on the January 21, 2025 episode.
The part was recast with Rory Gibson who debuted as the new Michael in May of 2025 during the Nurses’ Ball episodes and who has remained in the role since that time.
In an interview earlier this year on The Able Show, Duell said on his decision to exit the soap opera, “I was blessed to be part of that (show) for as long as I have, but what happens sometimes is if you’re doing the same thing, especially in a creative field for such a long time, you can get a little burnt out in a way. It can make you a little depressed, so that’s kind of what happened. On top of that, I had other things going on in my life at the time. My father passed away recently and I just needed a reset. So, I stepped away. A lot of times you have to go through some stuff to really step into that next level. I needed to kind of feel uncomfortable.”
So, what type of musical genre will Chad’s new song be? Country? Pop? Rock? Dance/Club? Something else? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below, and if you are eager to hear the new single next week via the comment section below.
