🚨 SPOILER ALERT! Britt Westbourne is ALIVE! Her Return Rocks Port Charles, But Why Did She Let Jason Grieve? Plus, Is a “Britch vs. Lulu” Showdown Looming? 🚨

Hold onto your seats, “General Hospital” fans, because the rumors are true: Kelly Thiebaud is officially reprising her role as Dr. Britt Westbourne! 🤯 This is not a drill! The “Britch” is back from the dead, and her return promises to send shockwaves through Port Charles, especially for Jason Morgan, who has been grieving her presumed death. The confirmation comes straight from Thiebaud herself, but eagle-eyed fans already had their suspicions. Just recently, Liesel Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) mysteriously spoke about Britt in the present tense when talking to Jason Morgan at the Metro Court pool. Adding fuel to the fire, Obrecht even took a selfie with Rocco – leading to speculation that this picture might have been intended for her supposedly deceased daughter.

While the prospect of a dramatic “Britch vs. Lulu” (Alexa Havins) showdown is undeniably exciting – a confrontation that promises to make Lulu “absolutely crash out” – there’s a strong sentiment that a rekindled romance between Britt and Jason is a terrible idea. Jason has endured enough heartache and betrayal in his life. He deserves a partner who brings him stability and genuine love, not more chaos.

It’s undeniable that Jason has been tragically alone in the romance department for far too long. He hasn’t been in a significant relationship for quite some time, despite several near-misses. There were fleeting signs that he might pursue a connection with Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattson) when he agreed to pretend to be the father of her baby – a selfless act, but one that never led to romance. Later, there was the palpable potential for a bond with Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) back in Africa. They shared a charged kiss during their harrowing escape from captivity at the hands of Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota). However, even that promising spark ultimately fizzled, leaving Jason single once more. It’s high time Jason finds a real love interest, someone worthy of his deep loyalty and unwavering heart.

But that love interest simply should not be Britt. Their brief past relationship felt forced and never truly made sense to many viewers. More importantly, it’s argued that Jason, at his core, is a fundamentally good man who deserves someone far better. While Jason himself has certainly done morally questionable things, often driven by his unwavering loyalty to Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright), his true character shines through in his fierce devotion to his family and loved ones. He’s a man who will go to extraordinary lengths to protect those he cares about. He deserves a woman who will reciprocate that intense love, who will prioritize his happiness and, crucially, his safety above all else. Britt Westbourne, it’s argued, simply isn’t that woman.

The most damning evidence against Britt’s suitability for Jason is the shocking revelation that she apparently faked her death. If Britt genuinely cared about Jason, she would have found a way – any way – to let him know she was alive after she was attacked with Heather Webber’s (Alley Mills) poisoned hook. To allow him to grieve for her, to believe she was gone forever, is a profoundly cruel act. While there might be reasons she believed it was “better” for her to be presumed dead, a truly trusting and loving partner would know that Jason could be relied upon to keep her secret. To put him through such emotional agony is simply “rude.”

There’s no doubt that when Britt finally faces Jason, she’ll have a litany of “reasons” for why she didn’t inform him of her survival. However, it’s argued that none of these excuses will be sufficient to justify the pain she inflicted. Moreover, Liesl Obrecht, in cryptically dropping that present-tense comment about Britt to Jason without actually telling him the truth, was also incredibly cruel. Jason, above all, deserves a partner who would never intentionally cause him such anguish.

The core issue, for many, is that Britt only truly cares about herself. While she might have seemed genuinely upset when Jason was missing and presumed dead during their brief connection, she is simply not capable of the deep, selfless love that Jason deserves. Britt consistently prioritizes her own schemes, ambitions, and self-preservation, whereas Jason, by contrast, always puts the well-being of those he loves first, often risking his own life in the process. Jason’s loyalty to his inner circle is absolute, but Britt’s loyalty, it’s argued, extends only as far as her own interests. A man like Jason, who repeatedly puts his life on the line for others, deserves a partner who would love him with the same fierce devotion, someone who would consistently protect and help him, not endanger or deceive him.

Comparisons are even drawn to Jason’s past loves, suggesting that Britt is merely a “Temu version” of his true love, Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco). While Britt undeniably shares some surface-level similarities with Sam – she’s strong, focused, determined, smart, and willing to bend (or break) rules – she fundamentally lacks Sam’s “fierce love and loyalty.” Sam was considered the perfect match for Jason precisely because she mirrored his unwavering loyalty to those she loved, and she would do whatever it took to keep them safe. Even Jason’s relationship with Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) is deemed superior to his brief connection with Britt, as Elizabeth is portrayed as a “sweet person” who genuinely cared about him.

Sam’s “death” (or perceived death, in a typical soap twist) deeply affected Jason, leaving a profound void. There’s a concern that Jason might turn to “Temu Sam” (Britt) to fill this emptiness, given her superficial resemblances to Sam. However, the argument stands firm: Britt can never fill Sam’s shoes. She lacks the unique ability Sam had to draw Jason out of his shell and reveal his softer, more vulnerable side. A relationship, it’s believed, cannot truly last when one person constantly has their guard up, as Britt often does.

Ultimately, Jason needs and deserves a genuinely good relationship. His life is so consumed by his duty, his loyalty to Sonny, and his relentless efforts to protect those he cares about, that he rarely has the opportunity to cultivate a stable, loving relationship for himself. Instead, he often finds himself playing the role of “everyone’s beard.” He married Carly to help stabilize Sonny’s operations during his absence, and he was willing to publicly pretend to be the father of Sasha’s baby to shield Michael Corinthos. It’s high time Jason prioritizes himself and focuses on finding his own real, loving partnership.

Even though his relationship with Sam never truly “worked out” in the long run (due to external circumstances and plot twists), that doesn’t mean the right partner isn’t out there for him. Jason needs a partner who can truly comprehend and handle his dangerous criminal associations, someone who can “roll with” the crazy, often life-threatening things he does for the people he cares about, and love him unconditionally despite it all. He needs a stabilizing influence, a balance to the inherent chaos of his life. Britt Westbourne, it’s asserted, will only cause more pain and likely create more messes for Jason to clean up.

The overwhelming sentiment is clear: Jason deserves better than Britt Westbourne. And there’s a strong hope that the writers will soon give him a truly suitable love interest, because he’s been single for far too long. New episodes of “General Hospital” air on weekdays on ABC, with streaming available on Hulu.
