Dr. Britt Westbourne’s return to Port Charles has left “General Hospital” fans with plenty of questions about what comes next for the polarizing doctor. While viewers recently learned that Britt never actually inherited Huntington’s disease, the truth has yet to reach Britt herself.
At the same time, with the doctor now in WSB custody following her arrest for Rocco Falconeri’s kidnapping, fans are also wondering whether the agency will protect Britt or leave her to face the fallout on her own. Read on to find out what “General Hospital” fans are predicting for Britt’s future.
‘General Hospital’ Fans Speculate About When Britt Will Learn the Truth About Her Diagnosis
The truth is finally out, at least to viewers. “General Hospital” fans recently learned that Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) has been living a lie for years regarding her Huntington’s diagnosis.
Cullum revealed to Cassius that Britt’s original diagnosis was a complete ruse, as he needed her to believe she had inherited Huntington’s from Cesar Faison in order to manipulate her into completing her father’s cold fusion project. However, Cassius seemingly met his demise before he could share the devastating truth with his sister.
Meanwhile, Britt is back in Port Charles after spending weeks on the run with her surrogate son, Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr). Following her arrest by Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) for Rocco’s kidnapping, Britt now finds herself in WSB custody.
With Britt back in town and the truth about her diagnosis still unknown to her, “General Hospital” fans are left wondering how long it will be before she learns she never had Huntington’s at all and whether the WSB will ultimately hang her out to dry.
“GH” stars Steve Burton and Bradford Anderson are asking those same questions. On their Stone Cold and the Jackal social media pages, the pair asked fans, “CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH: How Much Longer Till Britt Learns She’s Huntington’s Free?” and “FALL GIRL? Will the WSB Hang Britt Out To Dry?”
Naturally, “General Hospital” fans had plenty of thoughts and theories about what could be next for Britt in Port Charles.
‘General Hospital’ Fans Theorize What Britt’s Future Could Look Like After Learning the Truth
Many viewers are already looking ahead to what could happen once Britt discovers she never had Huntington’s disease at all. Several fans speculated that the revelation could lead to major changes in her personal life, with some even predicting a pregnancy storyline.
“Her brother died with that news…so Lucas is gonna have to figure it out and yep she’ll be pregnant lol,” one fan wrote.
Another viewer commented, “Soon I hope…. however, she did get sick while on the run with Rocco. I wonder if Jason has another little one on the way.”
Others echoed the pregnancy theory, with one fan simply writing, “She is pregnant with Jason’s baby!!”
Meanwhile, some viewers focused on Britt’s relationship with Rocco Falconeri, formerly known as Ben. “I really only want Rocco/Ben to be her biological son,” one fan wrote, while another added, “She needs to be Rocco/Ben’s biological mother already. I’ve been waiting for a while for that.”
As longtime viewers may recall, Britt gave birth to Rocco, whom she named Ben, after stealing Dante Falconeri and Lulu Spencer’s frozen embryo and implanting it in herself. The truth came out when Rocco was seven months old, and he was ultimately returned to his biological parents.
‘GH’ Viewers Hope the WSB Won’t Leave Britt to Face the Fallout Alone
Other “General Hospital” fans focused on Britt’s legal predicament and whether the WSB will hang her out to dry and make her the fall girl now that she is back in Port Charles and in custody.
“I hope not… And I don’t want Cassius to be dead either…” one viewer commented.
Some fans also questioned whether anyone is left who can tell Britt the truth about her diagnosis. “I am wondering if Joss overheard the discussion with Cassius and Cullum about Britt not really having Huntington’s. Because if she didn’t hear it, then there’s nobody left to tell Britt the truth. The only people that have a clue about this would be Lucas and the new detective,” one fan wrote.
Others expressed confidence that Britt will have allies on her side. “No!!! Joss won’t let them. I will be happy when she finds out she’s not sick!” one viewer commented.
Several “GH” fans also argued that the WSB may not have much of a case against Britt. “No, I don’t think they will. They are letting it all fall on Cassius and probably Sidwell,” one fan theorized, while another wrote, “So if Dante had her arrested to only protect her, he should let her go. She avoided finishing the project Cullum wanted, so the WSB shouldn’t have anything on her.”
One viewer summed up the hopes of many fans, writing, “I don’t want Britt to leave again. I hope that she stays, and since Joss is WSB and saved everyone from Cullum, she can help her.”
For now, Britt remains in the dark about the truth behind her Huntington’s diagnosis and her fate with the WSB is still up in the air. However, if fan reactions are any indication, viewers are eager to see Britt finally catch a break after years of heartbreak and loss.
Whether that means learning she never had Huntington’s, finding unexpected allies, or building a new life in Port Charles, “General Hospital” fans will be watching closely to see what comes next for Dr. Britt Westbourne.
