A fan tweeted the actress to let her know that she is sorely missed on the ABC soap opera, and much to viewers' surprise, the actress responded with: "Well, no need to miss me 'cause I'm coming back!"

Thiebaud joined the cast of GH in September of 2012 and was written out two years later. Her alter ego has made a couple of return appearances since then, including a brief visit to watch the Nurses Ball with her close friend Brad in 2015 and a short stint in December of 2017 as part of the Two Jasons mystery that unfolded on the soap.

There's no word yet on what might be bringing Britt -- a.k.a. the Britch -- back to Port Charles this time around. In fact, there's been no confirmation from the ABC series that her return is indeed happening. So, viewers will just have to wait and see what the powers that be have in store for the gone-but-not-forgotten character.

As for what Thiebaud has been up to since her daytime stint, she's amassed quite a rsum with plenty of film credits. They include Every 21 Seconds, Love at First Glance, and The Abduction of Angie. She's also spent some time doing modeling work, with her latest shoot available to view below.
