Although Dr. Britt Westbourne and Michael Corinthos never met on-screen on “General Hospital,” their portrayers, Kelly Thiebaud and Bryan Craig, met while working on the show and a real-life romance blossomed. According to Daytime Confidential, while dating, Craig took Thiebaud to the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con where she was impressed by the fans’ love for pop culture. In a later interview, both actors said that they were hoping their characters would meet on-screen.
At the 2016 Daytime Emmy Awards — where Craig won his first Emmy for Outstanding Younger Actor in a Drama Series — he and Thiebaud were interviewed by Michael Fairman TV. At the time, the character Morgan was dealing with bipolar disorder like his father, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), and Thiebaud explained that Craig would come home wiped out. “He’s drained [when he comes home],” she said, “He’s exhausted and he has to get up and do it again. I just try to massage him and, you know, not get on his nerves as much as possible.” Later in 2016, Soap Opera Digest reported that the two announced their engagement on social media. Craig was interviewed on “The Talk” about winning his Daytime Emmy and disclosed the fact that he and Thiebaud had set a wedding date for March 18, 2017 (via Soap Opera Spy).
But much like characters on a soap opera, wedded bliss was (sadly) not in Thiebaud and Craig’s future.
