It hasn’t been an easy ride lately on General Hospital. After Brad cashed in on spilling Portia’s secrets to Drew and then skipped town, his absence left a void in the scheming department. Meanwhile, Britt stunned everyone by resurfacing after faking her 2023 death — and she’s already back to clashing with enemies, even earning a slap from her own mother. With Brad’s name suddenly back in circulation and Britt needing an ally, fans are buzzing about whether the infamous duo could be on the verge of reuniting. Kelly Thiebaud, who plays Britt, teased the possibility of a reunion recently.
A Bond Built on Mischief
Thiebaud told Soap Opera Digest that she couldn’t imagine GH keeping Brad (Parry Shen) and Britt apart forever. “I can’t see why they wouldn’t bring him back!” she declared. The actress recalled that their dynamic wasn’t just another soap friendship, but something unique that filled a gap on the canvas. While their early connection grew out of shady plots, such as when Brad helped Britt in her previous pregnancy scheme, their banter and chemistry quickly became fan favorites.
A possible return of Brad to Port Charles would have a deeper meaning now that Britt’s back on the canvas. “It’s not just to come back as my bestie,” she stated, adding, “I really don’t see a world where that wouldn’t happen!” Beyond their infamous schemes, their shared sense of humor set them apart. The duo especially shone during Nurses’ Ball seasons, when the two gleefully critiqued the red-carpet arrivals. Thiebaud noted those scenes required little acting because the laughter was genuine, a testament to how much fun she and Parry Shen had playing off each other.
What the Future Holds
Head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten, were also part of the interview. They hinted that Britt needs someone in her corner. “She’ll need a shoulder to lean on and a partner in crime,” they remarked. But they noted that it may take some time for Brad to come around because he was devastated when Britt ‘died.’ “Would you forgive your bestie for faking her death?” they asked.
But Thiebaud remained optimistic that Brad would return. For long-time viewers, the thought of these two back on screen together brings hope of more outrageous antics, biting one-liners, and heartfelt moments of loyalty. “It was completely different than the other friendships on the show. I think it’s much needed,” she remarked. Whether they reclaim their crown as GH’s ultimate scheming duo remains to be seen, but fans will be watching closely.
