General Hospital fans, brace yourselves—Kelly Thiebaud is officially returning to Port Charles this July. Though her previous run ended in tragedy, the buzz surrounding her comeback is electric. From Instagram reactions to wild fan theories, everyone wants to know: is Britt Westbourne really back?

Her return, announced this June, has left fans with burning questions. Will GH really bring Britt back from the dead? It wouldn’t be the first time. After all, Port Charles thrives on jaw-dropping returns. Some suspect she may play an entirely new character. Soap fans are no strangers to actors doubling up in new roles—Michael Easton did it three times!

No official word has been released on her character yet. But given her history, either twist could create fireworks.

General Hospital: Kelly Thiebaud Reacts: “You Guys Rock!”

The reaction to her return has been massive. Kelly took to social media with a heartfelt thank-you. In an Instagram video, she danced joyfully and thanked fans for the “outpouring of love.” She called the opportunity a “wild ride” and hinted at juicy drama ahead.

Even her General Hospital co-stars chimed in. Katelyn MacMullen (Willow) left a sweet “Can’t wait!” comment, while Cameron Mathison (Drew) added, “Love thissssssss.” Not everyone liked that, though—fans trolled his character, calling Drew a “ruiner” of lives. Still, Kelly stayed gracious, replying warmly.
