Since Kelly Thiebaud returned to General Hospital last month, her alter ego, Britt Westbourne, has been kept under the close scrutiny of Pascal, on orders from the mysterious boss, a male, who they both report to. The show has dropped precious few hints as to the villain’s identity, outside of clearly identifying him as a man with a connection to Professor Dalton’s seemingly shady activities at PCU. But Soap Opera Digest was able to pry some additional — and juicy — information from the show’s head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten!

“Britt’s work is one end of a research pipeline – the other end is overseen by Dalton back in Port Charles,” begin the scribes, referencing the work Britt has been toiling away at in the lab inside the Five Poppies Resort and Spa and to Dalton. “The work in question is potentially both very valuable – and very dangerous. It’s the kind of project you’d have to be both crazy and diabolical to undertake. That’s the sort of person Britt and Dalton are working for,” Korte and Van Etten hint. And that’s not all they told us! The two writers added that as much as Britt’s return has given what they call a “jolt” to the GH action, “The excitement won’t end with her. The Faison/Obrecht clan is just getting started.”
