Britt Westbourne is a fictional character from the long-running ABC Daytime soap opera General Hospital, portrayed by Kelly Thiebaud. She was introduced by executive producer Frank Valentini on September 19, 2012, as the manipulative love interest for Dr. Patrick Drake.
Britt emerged as a potential romantic interest for Patrick months after the ″death″ of his wife Robin Scorpio, and is intent on being with him. However, the negative response from his daughter Emma Drake towards Britt as well as his feelings for nurse Sabrina Santiago ensure the end of the short-lived relationship. Britt becomes embroiled in a scheme that sees her become pregnant with another couple's embryo in an attempt to pass off the child as Patrick's. During her pregnancy, she fakes a maternity disorder and alters the results of a DNA paternity test. Britt also becomes romantically involved with Nikolas Cassadine, but the relationship ends due to her lies. When Thiebaud decided not to renew her contract, the character was written out in December 2014 after two years. She returned for a guest appearance in 2015.
Britt is known for her "bitchy" attitude, characterized as an "evil" villainess. The term "Britch" (A combination of Britt and Bitch) has become widely popular when referring to the character, either in the show's script or social media. The role was initially viewed as being pointless and short-term. However, Britt's unfolding storyline—which revealed her to be the daughter of super-villain parents Cesar Faison and Dr. Liesl Obrecht—has garnered Thiebaud praise for making her nastiness believable, with Daytime Confidential calling her a "natural". While enjoying the "nasty" sides of Britt, Thiebaud was pleased to portray the character's layers.
