General Hospital fans have seen some surprising casting news in recent weeks. First, Jonathan Jackson’s Lucky heads off on his next big adventure. Then, shortly after his departure was announced, the powers that be at the ABC soap revealed that Kelly Thiebaud was headed back to General Hospital, although it hasn’t been specified that Thiebaud is returning as Dr. Britt Westbourne (considering the doctor’s name has come up a lot lately, we suspect Britt will be "revived from the dead").
Oh, and we can’t forget the casting news that One Life to Live‘s Erika Slezak is joining General Hospital in an unspecified role. We’ll have to wait and see if she’s entering Port Charles as a new character, or she could perhaps take on the mantle of the infamous Helena Cassadine, last played by Constance Towers.
