GH SPOILERS: IS NATHAN WEST THE VILLAIN WHO’S BEEN CONTROLLING BRITT ALL ALONG?
TL;DR: Britt Westbourne struggles with guilt after Nathan West’s car crash on September 19’s General Hospital cliffhanger, with spoilers suggesting he’s been her mysterious captor from Croatia and may awaken with amnesia.
STOP EVERYTHING! The hero cop we mourned for SEVEN YEARS might be coming back as Port Charles’ next big villain! Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) is carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders after Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins) discovered that mysterious crash victim—and if spoilers are right, that victim is none other than Nathan West (Ryan Paevey)!
Is Nathan West Really Alive After Being Shot by Faison in 2018?
Yes, according to explosive spoilers, Nathan West survived his 2018 “death” and has been alive this entire time. ARE YOU KIDDING ME WITH THIS?! We all watched Cesar Faison shoot his own son point-blank while Nathan was protecting a pregnant Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms)! But here’s where it gets DARK—spoilers suggest Nathan didn’t actually die but was taken and used as a “human guinea pig” in Henry Dalton’s Croatian laboratory. The same lab where Britt was being held captive!
Will Nathan Wake Up With Amnesia From the Crash?
Spoilers strongly indicate Nathan will have memory loss when he awakens, creating a devastating situation for Britt. Oh, the IRONY! While everyone else sees a tragic hero returned from the dead, Britt would be the only one who knows the horrifying truth—that her beloved brother has been transformed into the villain who’s been controlling her life! Can you imagine having to look Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) in the eye knowing what her son has become? Or watching Maxie wake up from her coma to reunite with a man who’s just a shadow of her late husband?
Is Nathan the Mysterious Boss Who Held Britt Captive?
This is the million-dollar question, and all signs point to YES! The pieces are falling into place like a twisted puzzle! Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) found Britt at that Croatian resort, held captive and forced to work in a lab while being supplied with life-saving Huntington’s medication. Now Ryan Paevey himself has confirmed in interviews that his storyline will “absolutely overlap” with Kelly Thiebaud’s character. If Nathan really is the puppet master who’s been pulling Britt’s strings, this would be the most shocking character transformation in GH history!
What About Nathan’s Son James and His Marriage to Maxie?
James West has never known his father, and Maxie is currently comatose, unaware of these earth-shattering developments. This sets up an IMPOSSIBLE situation for Britt! Does she protect Port Charles from her brother’s villainy, or does she protect her brother from being exposed? And poor James—imagine finding out your hero dad isn’t the man everyone remembers! When Maxie wakes up, she’ll be walking straight into a nightmare disguised as a miracle reunion.
What’s Next for Britt and Nathan?
Could this mean Britt becomes the unlikely protector of Port Charles, forced to keep the darkest secret imaginable? Don’t be surprised if we see Britt struggling between her loyalty to family and her duty to protect everyone from what Nathan has become. Given the Faison family’s cursed legacy, this storyline could explore whether evil is truly in their DNA. If Nathan’s transformation is the result of those lab experiments, there might be hope for reversal—but at what cost? Reading between the lines, Britt’s guilt isn’t just about keeping a secret; it’s about being complicit in whatever dark operations Nathan has been running.
