Kelly Thiebaud Shares Parting Thoughts On Her GH Exit: “Being On This Show, Being in Your Living Rooms Everyday, is an Experience I Will Cherish for the Rest of My Life”
If you haven’t already cried yourself a river over the demise of Dr. Britt Westbourne on last week’s episodes of General Hospital, we suggest you grab some Kleenex and then check out the heartfelt farewell video posted by Britt’s portrayer, Daytime Emmy-winning actress, Kelly Thiebaud.
On her Instagram account on Sunday, Thiebaud not only shared her parting thoughts and ‘thank you’s’ to the cast, creatives and the fans, but posted along with it a beautiful look-back at her time on the show.
From Britt’s beginnings were she was a thorn in Patrick (Jason Thompson) and Sabrina’s (Teresa Castillo) side, to her relationships with a young Spencer Cassadine (Nicolas Bechtel) and Emma Scorpio Drake (Brooklyn Rae Silzer), to her one-of-a-kind friendship with her bestie, Brad Cooper (Parry Shen), to her burgeoning relationship with Jason (Steve Burton) before he died, to her work as a doctor and her relationship with her mutter, Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati), it’s all contained along with behind-the-scenes moments in Thiebaud’s farewell video.
In her parting thoughts, Kelly expressed: “A tribute to all the years I’ve been lucky enough to entertain you as Dr.Britt Westbourne and lucky enough to work with such wonderful and kind people. Being on this show, being in your living rooms everyday, is an experience I will cherish for the rest of my life. Thank you for all of the amazing support over the years. There are so many people not in this video only because I didn’t get a picture with you but I truly miss seeing all of your faces at work. One day I hope to share all of my stories about being on General Hospital with my kids and what a fun time I had. I love you all. ❤️ p.s. sorry this video is so long 😬 #brittwestbourne”

Transinvisibility: She shared a role with Terry Randolph. It has been a week and no scene with Terry finding out, grieving, etc. Did this relationship not merit a mention when relationships that were quite old with people dead got mentioned?
Donald???
Politics isn’t everything in life. It may be the reason Cassandra James has a job, but in a production like GH, there’s so much to consider…
Like the truth, that since the character of Terry was introduced, there’s been not one single line of dialogue from her mouth that’s not been whiny, monochrome, and just flat. If Terry’s portrayer could act, they probably would have been front and center.
Does ‘transvisibility’ mean we have to settle on mediocrity, and watch someone read through their lines rather than act them?
I think GH made the right choice…
Just sayin’
Terry Randolph also appears in a show called “Sort Of” so perhaps she was busy with other filming and other projects.
By the way… do check out “Sort Of” it is hilarious and quite a smart show.
my apologies, I meant Cassandra James, the actress who plays Terry Randolph, is on “Sort Of”
You are truly one classy lady Kelly. Thank you for all you gave to bringing Britt Westbourne to life and such a pleasure to watch. I will be watching Station 19 now just to see your acting talents.
Me too but I have one question why wasn’t anything said about epiphany on gh something should of been done or said she was one hell of lady I loved her dairly.
If a Devil remembers correctly, GH is currently taping about 2 months ahead of time, so that being the case they haven’t caught up to Epiphany’s passing yet.
Yes, either Kelly or Parry posted something indicating they filmed the karaoke scene on November 17.
The writers need to think of a way to explain Epiphany’s departure. Normally, they would write the character dying. However, they just killed off the (co) Chief of Staff. To have the head of nursing die right after (despite real life events) might be too much too soon. Assuming they’ll add Britt’s photo to the memorial wall (with Steve, Jessie, Alan et al).
They’ll probably do a tribute episode to Sonya sometime in the Spring. Maybe a title card “In Loving Memory” later this month.
Hate to see her go
I loved watching you on General Hospital. I will miss Britt.
True heart.
I like Kelly and I liked the character of Britt. I miss Britt, but I’m glad we didn’t have to see her suffer further with Huntington’s. I hope one day they can bring Kelly back as a different character, if she wants to.
I was beginning to enjoy Brit’s performance more& more every day. Losing Jason & Britt were 2 of the biggest mistakes ever. Their chemistry was like no other. Best wishes to u!❤️
Kelly you did quite a show, I admired you everyday, every minute and I will miss you.

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.
Finally, in the pick-up from last Friday’s cliffhanger, an emotional Jason (Steve Burton) continues to tell Sonny (Maurice Benard) that he cannot work for him anymore. Sonny ask, “So that’s it? You’re Out?” We fade to black.

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.
