General Hospital
The Triumphant Return of Kelly Thiebaud As GH’s Dr. Britt Westbourne
When a shocked Nurse Felix Dubois (Marc Anthony Samuel) exclaimed “Dear lord, the Britch is back,” after seeing none other than Dr. Britt Westbourne with her lab coat hovering around the nurses station at “General Hospital”, you knew things were about to go down on the ABC daytime drama series.
Over the past few weeks, Kelly Thiebaud has been in action on-screen on General Hospital as the the trouble-making, complicated, Britt. Since returning to the canvas, viewers learned that: Britt has been paroled from her previous crimes, seems to say she believes and actually likes her half-brother, Peter August (Wes Ramsey), has confronted her mutter in jail (Liesl Obrecht played by Kathleen Gati), whom Peter framed, and showed up at Brad’s (Parry Shen) hearing to be there for her bestie, who has been in hot water for the baby switch of Wiley.
But, there have been a lot more intriguing things than even that! Britt is now hitting the sheets with none-other than Julian (William deVry), and also let him know in no uncertain terms she knows his part in the whole Brad cover-up. But what is her true motive? We also learned in a run-in at GH, that Neil (Joe Flanigan) and Britt know each other from somewhere. He is trying to put his finger on just where, but does Britt know? Probably!
However, the best and most entertaining moment on soaps last week was when Britt arrived in her lab coat to GH and revealed to both Felix and Liz (Rebecca Herbst) that she had worked hard enough to be able to get her medical license restored … and that Monica (Leslie Charleson) brought her on with a provisional acceptance as a temporary replacement for Dr. Kim Nero as an OBGYN for the hospital. Felix says give it two weeks and she will do something to mess things up.

Just then, in our favorite scene of the week, Nikolas (Marcus Coloma) and Ava (Maura West) happen by, and when Britt, who is Nik’s ex, sees him she saunters over to him and slaps him hard across the face and spits out, “That’s for Spencer.” She goes on to berate him for how he hurt his son; by letting him believe that his father was dead for three years! Britt tells Nikolas it would serve him right if Spencer knew spoke to him again.
Next, Elizabeth chimes in and tells Britt to stop acting all high and mighty. Britt fires back that she is not surprised that Liz, another one of Nik’s ex’s, would defend him. Britt says, “The more things change, the more they stay the same.”
Scene after scene, Kelly Thiebaud has lit up the screen and put the “feisty” back onto the ABC soap opera. As an actress, Kelly can go from the heavy drama, to the comedic, to the sexy, all with ease.
In the March 30th issue of Soap Opera Digest, Thiebaud said of her return: “Frank Valentini reached out to me the beginning of the year and mentioned that the writers wanted to bring me back for a bit. I said,’Of course, I will, I would love nothing more than that!”‘ I just really connect with Britt and have a blast playing her.”
So let us know, have you been enjoying the return of Kelly as Dr. Britt Westbourne, thus far? What do you think Britt is up to? Comment below.
Maybe Britt somehow is connected to the death of Neil’s daughter…
Ohh!! I like that, Jimmy. I really like Neil—-so, I hope he is given a truly ” can’t wait to watch” storyline. Will Alexis fit into this story? —
I love having the Britch back—-so, whatever she brings will be compelling and flawless, I’m sure.
–A couple of things, Jimmy—-since you’re the only one who seems to ride my wavelength—What say you about Caly and Brando doing the OOOO-LaLa? It’s due time—either Sonny or Carly should be cheating on each other by now
And speaking of Sonny, something weird is going on with me. For the first time, Sonny moved me. I actually shed a couple of tears.
The painful, yet gripping interlude at the hospital, with Mike, was heartfelt. I don’t think that Maurice was acting—too real. The actor experienced similar pain in reality—-something stirred in him…. I felt it. Good show!!
I think Brando and Carly already did when they looked at each other-lol…Well, Sonny has been cheating on her forever with Jason-lol..the scene with Mike reminds me of my bedridden father who passed away 3 years ago!
I knew you would come around and warm up to Sonny like a fresh, tasty cup of Joe from Perks!
I’m liking Britt this time around better than before. I didnt like her friendship with slimy Brad. Now she is doing body shots in the backroom of Charlies Pub with Julian! Love it. Alexis who???
we all make typos…if Spence knew talk to him again-lol
Love her on the show. Hope she sticks around.
I love that the “Britches” is back !! She is such a bad person to Love ! She is great ❣️
Britt has so many connections on the canvas. Great to have Kelly back. From the surprising chemistry with Julian to just the glances between her and Nikolas, KT brings it all
Can Brett please be the one to bust Nelle!
With the way the camera angles were when Alexis and Neil were in NYC, maybe she saw him and Alexis coming out of that hotel room….
Very glad the britch is back, and very glad that Felix is back. Hope they both stay
No such luck. She’s already moved to Salem.
Now, instead of being a doctor who is the daughter of a cartoonish supervillain (Faison), she’s a lawyer who is the daughter of a cartoonish supervillain (Orpheus).
I’m sure the character seems familiar to her already.
Not the best storyline.
I, frankly, hope she stays long term. As you said in the story above, she “lit up the screen” in scene after scene; something really needed on GH. There’s so much history that was swept out the door when they wrote off Britt. I don’t remember if she quit or not, but hope they convince her to stay. Smart, clever, pretty, talented, a great asset to the GH team. Love her! And I love the story they’ve given her, too!
Britt is back! Happy days. Now bring back her mother Liesl Obrecht to take down Nelle.
Her return did not last very long since she is now on Days of Our Lives and being the daughter of another sicko daddy, Orpheus. I really hope that she will come back to GH where she belongs.

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.

Later, there is a small baggie containing three blue pills.

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.
