Kelly said, “But also… I am very interested in doing other things with my career,” she continued. “As much as I love Britt and I love the fans and I love General Hospital, I just felt like I had to go and pursue those other dreams and goals of mine.” Kelly spent over a decade on General Hospital as Dr. Britt Westbourne. Her schedule did not allow her the freedom to pursue other things.
The halls of the hospital will definitely be different without its Chief of Staff, Dr. Britt Westbourne. Sadly, we all have to say goodbye to a bright light, a spunky spark, and overall inspiring actress and role. Kelly and The Britch left a mark on our hearts. We will forever be grateful for the writing and performances that brought us Dr. Britt Westbourne.

Whether or not Esme is pretending to be the latest amnesiac in Port Charles, facts remain that the young woman is 7 months pregnant and is accused of being a serial killer. The buzz around Port Charles regarding hook killer’s identity mainly circles around Esme. Naturally, track record since arriving in Port Charles would make anyone suspicions.

Additionally, she publicly has bad blood with Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali), who is said to be the killer’s main target.
As a result of Esme’s past, General Hospital spoilers reveal Esme and baby Ace could reap the consequences of crimes Esme didn’t commit. Despite her reputation, Esme isn’t the hook killer. Among those suspicious of Esme, only a few have come to realize they’ve pointed their finger in the wrong direction. Moreover, as a woman who is 7 months pregnant, it’s unlikely Esme is capable of killing those victims.
General Hospital previews in spoilers indicate Liesl doesn’t stop to think about the logistics when it comes to getting revenge. Austin Holt told diesel Azmeh is the prime suspect in Britt’s murder, therefore, the grieving mother set out on her mission. GH previews hint that Dr. Obrecht is focused on one thing, making her way to Esme. Will Esme loose baby Ace?
Liesl goes after Esme! Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl) is the name on everyone’s tongue. Port Charles has been rocked by the aftershock of every hook attack as innocent lives are destroyed. Esme is the suspect of choice by the PCPD, along with those who know her.
Dr. Britt Westbourne’s (Kelly Thiebaud) was tragically cut short after her inherent heroism took control. As a Doctor, Britt saved lives on a daily basis with modern medicine and practices. She spent tireless hours fighting for the lives of others. Surely, she’s instinctively fight off the hook to save Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy).

Britt says goodbye to her mutter! Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) confided in her mother Dr. Liesl Obrecht after receiving life altering news. She is facing a life threatening illness that has effected her life in various ways outside of the expected.
Discovering she carried the genetic marker for Huntington’s Disease served as a stepping stone toward Britt’s bond with Jason Morgan (Steve Burton). Because of the threat Britt was facing, she was able to experience her own vulnerability. Furthermore, expressing her vulnerable side allowed for that connection to be made with Jason.
General Hospital spoilers and rumors reveal Cody has yet to find out what Britt is going through. After losing Jason, Britt become more closed off
which made it difficult for the Chief of Staff to make an initial connection with someone. However, things began to change for her after Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) made a strong, yet interesting impression on the young doctor.
General Hospital comings and goings news confirms Kelly Thiebaud exits GH while leaving the door open for Britt Westbourne to return. She is headed to Station 19 to reprise her role as Eva Vasquez.
GH spoilers tease Britt makes the decision to take her life into her own hands after trusting Dr. Austin Holt (Roger Howarth) with her secret. She breaks the news to her mother Dr. Liesl Obrecht that she’s leaving Port Charles. Britt’s Huntington’s Disease drives her out of town and to Toronto.
The Japanese Tantō resurfaces! The bond between Dr. Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) and Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) was formed over their love for Nathan West (Ryan Paevey). Since his passing the ladies have gotten closer. So close they even exchange gifts.
General Hospital recaps recall Liesl Obrecht gifting Nina a knife, specifically a Japanese Tantō. Why would Liesl decide to give Nina a knife as a gift? We have asked the question over and over and can’t really come up with a logical explanation. However, we can think of a few theories as to why the Japanese Tantō may soon resurface.
General Hospital spoilers and rumors indicate the storyline surrounding Nina’s knife picks back up -along with the knife itself! There is no way this knife was brought about with zero intention of developing a storyline around it. GH rumors hint the knife could come in handy for Nina if she ever gets attacked by the hook killer. But something tells us the purpose of the Japanese Tantō is much more significant than that. Perhaps the weapon falls into the wrong hands, or, maybe Nina’s hands are the wrong hands.
General Hospital previews tease drama is about to intensify in Port Charles. The writers are trying very hard to make it look as if Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl) is the hook killer. We still think that’s too easy. With the rising threat, it’s possible Nina’s knife could be used in self defense. On the contrary, it may also be used in cold blood.
Peter exposes Victor! Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) has never felt the warm fuzzies for or from her half brother. Peter August (Wes Ramsey) was Britt’s evil half brother who inherited Cesar Faison’s (Anders Hove) traits.
General Hospital recaps revisit the havoc Peter reeked on the people of Port Charles. Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) and Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) were his main focus, and at one point Anna believed Peter was her son. Peter won Maxie over, however, Maxie would soon find out who Peter really was.
Family Ties!
Peter shares a father with GH Doc, Britt Westbourne. Although Peter was an evil, calculated, monster, he did have room in his heart for family. He always acknowledged his relationship to half sister Britt. She wanted nothing to do with him since he was just like their father Cesar Faison. Cesar and Peter were both cold, calculated, insane… the list could go on.
Peter tortured those he claimed to love. This includes the woman he asked to become his wife. Maxie Jones and their baby become his obsession. He would do anything, include kidnap Maxie, to get her and their baby alone. Britt and Maxie became close as Peter’s sister helped Maxie outsmart him. Ultimately, Peter’s “death” was a relief to all, even his sister Britt.
Britt and Cody make shocking discovery!
General Hospital spoilers reveal Britt and Cody will make a shocking discovery come time to figure out Peter’s hidden message. Peter left Britt a mysterious box and she’s determined to uncover the meaning.
General Hospital rumors suggest that Peter’s last message to Britt will be a positive one. Britt has been struggling with her Huntington’s disease diagnosis as well as trying to accept her fate. She remains uneasy about her uncertain of her future.
GH rumors speculate Cody will help Britt decode Peter’s cryptic message and in doing so Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy) will be exposed). It’s been rumored that Victor faked Britt’s Huntington’s diagnosis, leading her and Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) to believe she [Britt] is dying.
GH spoilers suggest Peter exposes Victor with his boxed message to Britt, meanwhile, in it she will find she has never had Huntington’s disease.

Carly has lost so much to Nina in the recent months, starting with her husband Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) down to her career at The Metro Court. Carly’s hatred for Nina is stronger than ever, which GH rumors suggest could result in an upcoming confrontation that turns violent.
General Hospital spoilers and rumors indicate Nina will make use of her new gift in an altercation with Carly. Will Carly get stabbed by Nina?
