‘General Hospital’ Teases the End of Jason and Britt’s Controversial Romance

When Steve Burton took his extended General Hospital break last March, Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) told Jason Morgan she loved him just as he was sent away for a multi-month stay in an international prison. When Jason was released, the lovebirds have been tepid with each other, and now it looks like their on-screen love story may be coming to a close.

Several weeks ago, Jason was surprised to learn that Britt was the one who told Cassius Faison (Ryan Paevey) that Josslyn (Eden McCoy) was a WSB agent, leading to him keeping her prisoner. Britt swore she had no other secrets, but she may have been lying.

When Anna (Finola Hughes) held Britt at gunpoint this week and blamed her for her kidnapping, Britt swore she had nothing to do with it. She only learned Anna was being held prisoner when Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) arrived in Port Charles.

That revelation came as both a surprise to the audience and to Jason, whose main concern was the mentally unstable Anna’s well-being. Fans took notice of the fact that Jason hadn’t seemed concerned about Britt at all, despite her ordeal. “So Britt was almost killed and Jason is staying the night at Anna’s?” one fan noted, summing up the thoughts of other audience members.

GH writers Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten also hinted at some trouble on the horizon for Jason and Britt.

“Decisions Britt made to stay alive while under Cullum’s thumb will come back to haunt her and may prove too difficult for this unlikely couple to survive,” they said in an interview with TV Insider, previewing fall storylines.

In addition, a furious Britt wants to make Anna pay for what she did to her, something Jason wouldn’t approve of, considering how close he is with Anna. Between learning of another secret and Britt’s determination to punish a mentally unwell Anna, it looks like GH fans may have a couple breakup on their hands soon.
