General Hospital spoilers and updates suggest Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) could soon find herself in an unexpected new role.
If Jude Jacks (Wil Traval) succeeds in gaining custody of Phoebe Chase (most recently Luna and Lucia Creighton), might he eventually want Britt to become a mother figure to his daughter?
Key Takeaways
- Jude’s custody battle could leave him raising Phoebe alone
- Britt and Jude’s romantic connection may not be over
- Their complicated family histories could bring them closer
- Britt’s connection to Phoebe could become important
- Britt may get another chance to experience motherhood
Jude Is Determined To Fight For His Child, But Who’s Going To Take Care Of Her?
Jude is determined to fight for his child, but it’s worth considering what could happen if a judge overturns Phoebe’s adoption. Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) and Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) could lose Phoebe, depending on how far the GH writers choose to take this storyline.
If Jude wins custody, he’ll suddenly be raising his daughter as a single father.
He could always hire nannies to help, but Jude might also long for someone to take on a more maternal role and raise Phoebe by his side.
That possibility brings us back to Britt and the connection she has developed with Jude; the two agreed to share some anonymous fun, but there appeared to be a genuine spark and a deeper sense of connection between them.
With Jude’s custody war already threatening Phoebe’s future, the situation could become even more complicated.
Britt Hit The Brakes After Finding Out Jude’s True Identity
Britt hit the brakes after learning who Jude really is, but that doesn’t mean the sparks between them have gone out.
In time, Jude may confess that he can’t stop thinking about their steamy night together and try to persuade Britt that they should give a future as a couple a real chance.
Of course, Britt has reason to hesitate now that she knows Jude belongs to the Jacks family.
Still, she may find it hard to condemn him simply for having a troubled father, especially since she had a complicated father of her own.
Jude is Jerry Jacks’ (Sebastian Roché) son, while Britt is Cesar Faison’s (Anders Hove) daughter—so having a diabolical dad is one thing they can understand about each other.
Britt’s Role In Delivering Phoebe Could Also Play Into This
Britt’s role in bringing Phoebe into the world could also become important to this story. If Jude wins custody, that connection might draw Britt closer to both him and Phoebe.
The show has spent considerable time exploring Britt’s bond with Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) and the maternal feelings she developed for him.
After Britt’s embryo theft scheme, Rocco was raised as her supposed son, “Ben,” during his infancy; some part of Britt may always feel that a Rocco-shaped space is missing from her heart, and she may continue to wish she had been his mother in some way.
Now she could have an opportunity to make a fresh start by raising Phoebe with Jude—if he decides to suggest that possibility down the road.
Of course, Chase’s fight to keep Phoebe could stand in the way of Jude’s plans.
Annemarie’s Take
I can see why Britt might be tempted to give Jude another chance, especially since they have more in common than she originally realized!
But becoming a mother figure to Phoebe would be a huge step, particularly when Brook Lynn and Chase are fighting so hard to keep their daughter.
And as November sweeps spoilers suggest, Britt and Jude’s connection could get even more complicated. Would Britt really risk getting involved in this custody nightmare?
Do you think Britt and Jude could become a couple, and would Britt make a good mother figure for Phoebe? Share your thoughts below!
