General Hospital Spoilers: Laura And Valentin Find Hayden In Russia!

By Matt CriderOn Aug 4, 2023

General Hospital spoilers tease that Laura Collins (Genie Frances) is hoping to find her missing son, Nikolas Cassadine (last played by Marcus Coloma) in Russia. Laura incorrectly believes that before he died, Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy) turned against Nikolas and held him captive. But Victor had nothing to do with Nikolas’ disappearance so her decision to go to Russia, accompanied by Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) won’t yield the results Laura wants, but that doesn’t mean she will come up emptyhanded.

General Hospital Spoilers – Whatever happened to Hayden Barnes?

Viewers may recall that several years ago, Nikolas recruited Hayden Barnes (Rebecca Budig) to help him locate the codicil to Helena Cassadine’s (Constance Towers) will.

Nikolas hoped that the codicil would return the Cassadine fortune to him from Valentin. Nikolas was believed to be dead at the time so Hayden served as his eyes and ears. But Valentin got wind of Hayden’s goals and threatened her.

Not wanting to reveal his presence to the world, Nikolas hired thugs to terrorize Hayden and convinced her to go on the run.

GH Spoilers – Nikolas Cassadine asked Victor Cassadine to help keep Hayden Barnes quiet!

But Nikolas wasn’t convinced Hayden wouldn’t be found. He asked his uncle Victor to help take care of Hayden. From there, Hayden’s fate is unclear. It was implied that Victor had Hayden killed. But that may not be the case.

He held Drew Cain (Cameron Matheson) prisoner in Greece for two years. Holly Sutton (Emma Samms) was also Victor’s captive. It stands to reason that Hayden is alive somewhere as well. Whatever Victor did to Hayden, perhaps the answers lie in Russia.

General Hospital Spoilers – Is Hayden Barnes in Russia!

When Victor died, he left Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Chavez) a property in Russia. Nikolas disappeared around the same time, so Laura believed that Nikolas could be held captive at the property. But Nikolas is not in Russia.

After being hit on the head by Ava Jerome (Maura West), Nikolas was taken by Mason Gatlin (Nathanyael Grey) where he remains comatose.

So, if Nikolas isn’t in Russia, perhaps Hayden is there instead. Hayden has a young daughter by Hamilton Finn (Michael Easton) who she hasn’t seen since Nikolas sent her on the run years ago.

Perhaps Laura can help reunite mother and daughter. If Hayden is still alive, this seems like the most likely place to find her.
