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.

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Serena Sets Her Sights on Michael; Jason’s Emotional Exit from the Mob
This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, new and old motivations come into play with dangerous consequences. According to the just released GH video spoilers video for the week of August 3-7, a bailiff calls out, “All rise!”
Now it’s Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) vs. Curtis (Donnell Turner), as the surgeon is suing the owner of the Savoy for assault that ruined is ability to operate. At the end of the day, which of these men has enough evidence against the other? Portia (Brook Kerr) is by Isaiah’s side, while Jordan (Tanisha Harper) is with Curtis.
Next, Lucy (Lynn Herring) has a plan to get the controlling shares of Deception away from Michael (Rory Gibson). She wants her daughter, Serena (Kelly Kruger) to seduce Michael. She tells her, “Pick out your most seductive suit.” Soon, we see Serena in her bathing suit at the Metro Court face to face with Michael.
Later, there is a small baggie containing three blue pills. Nina (Cynthia Watros) ask Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), “What did you do?” We also see Michael asking the same thing of Jacinda (Paige Herschell). Leading into this week, viewers know that Willow doesn’t want the former escort anywhere near her children, Amelia and Wiley. Is this how she stops her, or is Jacinda up to old tricks and wants to frame Willow? Remember when Jacindsa drugged Drew (Cameron Mathison)? Stay tuned.

Vincent Pastore of ‘Sopranos’ Fame and ‘General Hospital’s’ Maximus Giambetti Dies at 80
Vincent Pastore, best known for his memorable role as Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero on HBO’s The Sopranos has passed away.
The veteran actor was found dead on August 1st in his home in the Bronx, New York. Pastore was 80-years-old. The cause of death is yet to be determined.
As well as his role on The Sopranos, many soap fans will recall he played multiple smaller roles on the beloved One Life to Live from 1995 and 2004. However, in 2008, he landed the short-term role as Maximus Giambetti on General Hospital.
PASTORE WANTED TO BE ON GENERAL HOSPITAL
Maximus was the mobster father of Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) bodyguards: Max (Derk Cheetwood) and Milo (Drew Cheetwood)
According to Soap Opera Digest, Pastore told Soaps In Depth back in 2009, after appearing in a SOAPnet promotional campaign as a celebrity fan of General Hospital: “‘I’d love to be on the show. So they called up GH’s casting director (Mark Teschner) and Bobby (Robert Guza Jr. ex-head writer, GH) and they wrote me in!”
Pastore was a huge General Hospital fan from way back, who at one point told producers that he would watch the ABC soap opera while working in bars and nightclubs in the 70s and 80s.
Throughout his decades long career, Pastore appeared in films including: Goodfellas, Carlito’s Way and Men of Respect, The Jerky Boys: The Movie and the 1996 HBO TV movie Gotti.
In TV, besides The Sopranos, Pastore’s credits included: Law & Order, The Practice, Son of the Beach, Queens Supreme, Hawaii Five-0, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, plus the miniseries The Last Don II. Most recently, Vincent was a series regular on Gravesend and guest starred on Yellowjackets.
Pastore is survived by his daughter, Renee, son-in-law and granddaughter.
