Britt has been sitting on one of the biggest secrets on General Hospital, and she hasn’t cracked yet. She knows “Nathan” isn’t Nathan, hasn’t been for a long time, and still hasn’t told a soul. That kind of silence doesn’t come easy, especially with everything circling in, which is where Kelly Thiebaud steps in to explain why Britt is holding the line and what it’s costing her.
Key Takeaways
- Thiebaud praises her chemistry and scenes with Ryan Paevey.
- Britt trusts Cassius as family but knows he’s unpredictable.
- She admits Britt can’t fully trust him despite their bond.
- Britt exposed Joss to keep Cassius’ identity secret.
- She believes keeping the truth hidden protects everyone involved, but Cassius is a loose cannon.
Why Britt Trusts Cassius… but Not Completely
Thiebaud spoke to Soap Opera Digest and didn’t hold back about working with Ryan Paevey again. “It’s just been so wonderful to have him back and to actually work with him!” she said, noting they didn’t get much time together the first go-round. “It’s been really refreshing and so much fun to really spend time together and get to know each other and work together.”
She added that they have excellent on-screen chemistry and enjoy the banter between their characters. That chemistry helps because their relationship is shaky since Britt knows exactly who Cassius is, and has known for a while. While they have a family bond, he’s unpredictable, and she never quite forgets that.
Thiebaud put it plainly when talking about how Britt sees him now. “It’s fun to have him in my corner, but also know that I can’t fully trust him.” That’s the balance she’s stuck in, and it’s not a comfortable one. It works right up until it doesn’t, and Britt knows that better than anyone.

Why She Exposed Josslyn To Protect the Secret
The decision to out Joss (Eden McCoy) wasn’t random or careless. Thiebaud explained that from Britt’s perspective, it made sense in the moment. “In Britt’s eyes, [the truth about Cassius] needs to stay under wraps because of all the people that are involved.” There are too many moving parts, too many people who get pulled in if the truth breaks open.
It also isn’t just about protecting him. Britt has her own skin in the game, and she’s well aware of it. Thiebaud admitted, “In a way, she’s wanting to save a little bit of her own reputation,” especially with everything tied to Sidwell (Carlo Rota) and Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) sitting just beneath the surface. If Cassius gets exposed, so does she.
And then there’s the part she can’t fully control. Thiebaud described Cassius as “a little bit of a loose cannon,” which means every move Britt makes carries risk. She’s trying to manage the situation, not blow it up, but the margin for error is getting smaller by the day.
