General Hospital Star Kelly Thiebaud Has A HUGE Reason To Celebrate!
Kelly took to her Instagram account to write, “Ahhhhhhhh wow! My 2nd nomination! I’m overwhelmed with excitement! Thank you so much!! Congratulations to the other nominees!”
She continued, “I just wanted to say thank you to everyone. Everyone who voted. Waking up with this second Emmy nomination has just been so freaking cool. It means so much and it’s just unexpected.”
Earlier in the year, the brunette beauty admitted that she had to leave General Hospital for personal reasons. It’s not that she wanted to leave the daytime television world, but mostly because she had to. Kelly fell in love with a man that lives on the other side of the world and decided to pack up her bags and go be with him! She now lives in London with her fiance.
General Hospital News: What’s Next For Kelly?
In an interview with Soap Opera Digest, Kelly said that it definitely wasn’t an easy one to make. She put it this way, “There are so many different aspects of it, honestly. One is that I’m in love and have been doing long-distance for almost a year now and my partner cannot move to the States at the moment. But also, as a lot of people who have followed me on the show know, I am very interested in doing other things with my career. As much as I love Britt and I love the fans and I love working on GENERAL HOSPITAL, I just felt like I had to leave and go and pursue those other dreams and goals of mine, because being [on GH full time] doesn’t really allow the flexibility to do other projects. So those were the two biggest factors in my decision.”
She continued, “But it was always going to be a temporary thing for me because I really want to do films and theater and all sorts of other things. It was always something that I knew would happen, I just didn’t know quite how it would happen until this beautiful soul came into my life and it kind of made the decision for me, in a way.”
