General Hospital Leak: Rebecca Budig Returning To GH In The Fall?

General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease of a possible insider leak that was recently released – it looks like Rebecca Budig will return as Hayden Barnes to GH sometime in the fall!

General Hospital Spoilers And Rumors – Previous Leaks Have Naomi Dreyfuss Returning

General Hospital viewers will recall that previous leaks have Hayden’s mother, Naomi Dreyfuss (most recently Robin Riker) returning. She will show up looking to spend some time with Violet Finn (Jophielle Love) but she will claim that she doesn’t know what happened to Hayden or where she has been.

General Hospital recaps show that Hayden appeared to have dropped off the face of the earth after Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) overheard her trying to make a deal with Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) before the codicil to Mikkos Cassadine’s (John Colicos) will was discovered, therefore disinheriting Valentin.

Some have theorized that Nikolas made Hayden disappear for good, but this possible leak indicates otherwise. With General Hospital seeming to be putting Dr. Hamilton Finn (Michael Easton) and Elizabeth Baldwin (Rebecca Herbst) together, bringing Violet’s mother who is also Elizabeth’s half-sister back has all the making of a sister against sister love triangle and maybe even a custody suit between Hayden and Finn!

Hayden has not been seen on General Hospital since April 15, 2020 in a flashback Finn had, but Nikolas scared her and sent her on the run on November 27, 2019 with her leaving Violet’s backpack and Violet at Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) home where she and Finn had been living together.

Finn has had custody of Violet ever since. In addition, when she returned to Port Charles with Nikolas, there was no mention of their ever having gotten divorced, so if the current storyline with Ava Cassadine (Maura West) trying to divorce Nikolas ends up with them not getting divorced, Nikolas may be committing bigamy with the return of an alive Hayden!

GH Spoilers And Rumors – Hayden Barnes Made A Splash The Last Time She Returned To Port Charles

General Hospital viewers will recall that the last time Hayden returned to Port Charles, she certainly made a splash! She crashed the wedding reception that Elizabeth and her husband Franco Baldwin (Roger Howarth) were holding onboard the Haunted Star. She had returned and was later revealed to be working with Jasper “Jax” Jacks (Ingo Rademacher) to find the codicil to Mikkos Cassadine’s will, arriving some time ahead of Nikolas, who had been faking his death for around five years at that point.

It was several months later that the truth came to light about Violet, because Hayden had left Violet with a nanny in Beecher’s Corners. General Hospital viewers will remember that Hayden had not intended for Finn to ever find out about their daughter, but then Violet became ill and needed to be hospitalized – Beecher’s Corners didn’t have a hospital and so she was put in General Hospital. It didn’t take a detective to figure out Violet was Finn’s daughter with Hayden, especially since he got her case assigned to him! General Hospital viewers can expect that Hayden’s likely sudden return to Port Charles will be as dramatic as the last one was!
