REBECCA BUDIG ON GH STATUS

With the name Hayden Barnes on the lips of multiple Port Charles residents, rumors have swirled that her portrayer, Rebecca Budig, may be headed back to the show.

Budig is aware of the chatter. “I am getting bombarded with that question, honestly,” she tells Digest. “All the time, people are telling me how much Hayden is being mentioned. I’ve had a lot of people reach out to me to ask me if I’m coming back to the show; I get texts, like, once a week, asking me, ‘Are you going back to GENERAL HOSPITAL?’ In fact, Alicia [Minshew, who played Kendall on ALL MY CHILDREN during her stint as Greenlee] has texted me three times saying, ‘Are you lying to me? Are you going back? Are you back on the show?’ So, Alicia thinks I’m lying to her and that I’m back on the show [laughs]. I’m like, ‘I’m not, Alicia! I swear, I would tell you!’ ”
