The Britch is back… Well, sort of. Kelly Thiebaud is returning to the soap she left back in 2023, when she was killed off as Dr. Britt Westbourne. So it’s likely the actress will be appearing as someone new, unless there’s a surprise twist that somehow resurrects her old character. Thiebaud debuted as Britt in 2012 and left the soap in 2015. She had return stints from 2017 to 2018 and 2020 to 2023. She’ll begin airing next month.
Meanwhile, in a surprise move, Jonathan Jackson is leaving the show as Lucky Spencer. Jackson, who originally debuted as Luke (Tony Geary) and Laura’s (Genie Francis) son in 1993, returned to the soap in August 2024. His final scenes will air this week.
As Michael (Rory Gibson) and Willow’s (Katelyn MacMullen) divorce and custody hearing continues to take center stage this week, Carolyn Hennesy is back as Diane Miller, Michael’s attorney. Meanwhile, Tess Auberjonois continues appearing as Eva Heran, the judge presiding over the heated case.
