Dr. Britta[3] "Britt" Westbourne, MD is a fictional character on the ABC soap operaGeneral Hospital. She has been portrayed by actress Kelly Thiebaud since September 19, 2012.
Britt was noted for her "bitchy" attitude, characterized as an "evil" villainous. 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 and message boards. Despite the character being initially viewed as a pointless role who would be removed from the show quickly, Britt's unfolding storyline—that revealed her to be the daughter of supervillain parents Cesar Faison and Lisa Obrecht—has garnered both her and Thiebaud praise for making her nastiness believable, with Zap2it calling her a "natural". Though she loves playing the nasty side of Britt, Thiebaud is pleased to show the character's many layers.
Redemption
Although Britt was written to be a heartless villainous, Britt was proven to be popular among fans and critics [4][5][6] with some even disliking Britt's emeny, the "good girl", Sabrina Santiago (Teresa Castillo), claiming she is "too immature". In late summer 2013, viewers started to notice a "change" in a character, after she bonds a friendship with sometime GH character, Nikolas Cassadine. Britt confines in Nikolas quoting, "...I should of been an adult and realized the truth and cut my losses. Instead I dig in. And I tried harder to find him over. Emma too. But Emma didn't let me from the start and she's even more stubborn then Patrick. After every gift feel flat and every outing ended with attitude, I lost my tempter and acted like a child. It's not something I'm proud of."
Storylines
Introduction
One day, Dr. Britt Westbourne comes and pulls Patrick away to talk to him. While talking, she asks Patrick out on a date. Patrick agrees to the date, but his sister-in-law, Maxie, can't babysit his daughter Emma, so Britt suggests that Sabrina can babysit. Britt notices that Sabrina has a crush on Patrick, though doesn't view her as a threat. On the date, things don't go as planned when Sabrina calls and tells Britt that the babysitting isn't going well. Britt tries to tell Sabrina to deal with it, but Sabrina calls back and Patrick and Britt have to go home. After this incident, Britt begins to worry if Sabrina is a threat.
In early January, Britt is disgusted when she finds out Sabrina and Patrick almost kissed. Britt confronts Sabrina and tells her to stay away from Patrick and to never babysit again. Patrick agrees to this idea and tells Emma to say goodbye to Sabrina, upsetting Emma. Later in that month, things turn for worse for Britt. After getting disrespected by Emma many times, Britt breaks down and tells Emma "she doesn't like her". This upsets Emma, which causes her to run away. Sabrina then finds Emma and Emma reveals everything that happened to Britt to Sabrina, who she had formed a sisterly bond with. Sabrina then tells Patrick this and he dumps Britt. Britt, angry, vows to get back at Sabrina.
