Kelly Thiebaud drops to recurring -- before leaving?

Britt Westbourne's troublemaking days may soon be over. Kelly Thiebaud has, according to a source, decided not to renew her contract with General Hospital.

Britt has found ways around her questionable life decisions in the past -- but might she soon find herself in a fix that she can't get out of? Kelly Thiebaud (Britt Westbourne) has dropped to recurring status at General Hospital.

According to a show source, it was Thiebaud's decision not to renew her contract with GH.

Thiebaud will remain on recurring status -- at least for now. There is buzz that the actress is sticking around to wrap up her storyline before exiting the canvas permanently. Thiebaud is reportedly eager to try out for primetime and film projects.

Kelly Thiebaud joined General Hospital on a recurring basis in September 2012. She was upped to contract status in January 2013 -- and that's when the blackmailing and embryo stealing began.

ABC has not commented on the reports of Thiebaud's status change.
