More: Rebecca Budig makes a social media announcement By driving Hayden out of town, Nikolas figured he could keep the interloper from gaining control of the empire. So, why had Nikolas wanted Hayden gone? In essence, he feared she would help Valentin take over the Cassadine fortune, leaving Nik out in the cold.

It was later revealed that Nikolas had paid someone to scare her… and his plan worked! In the end, she dropped Violet off with the tot’s pop Finn and left Port Charles for parts unknown.

He convinced Hayden that Valentin was out to get her and the only way she could protect daughter Violet was to leave town - like he had done in the past to protect Spencer.

We last saw Hayden in November 2019 when Nikolas saved her from being attacked on the docks. However, in a recent interview with Soap Opera Digest, the actress addressed the one question that she’s been “getting bombarded with” as of late… Will she be returning to General Hospital? “Listen, I love Frank, and Frank and I are friends, but I haven’t been asked back since I left the show ,” Budig told the magazine. Many fans have wondered if or when Rebecca Budig would return to General Hospital as Hayden, and we first got a hint that Hayden might have been held in the same location as Drew in the Tuesday, August 24, episode when he heard someone screaming and nurse Chloe confirmed there was a mystery woman being held in another cell. Check out his height against the sign behind him in the images below. Scarlett Fernandez, who only recently was recast as Charlotte, expressed her feelings via emojis, a combination of hearts and tears.Īlong with Fasullo’s post, he shared a series of backstage photos that reveal that he wasn’t exaggerating when he said he’d grown on the show. Hudson West, aka Jake, told Fasullo, “I will miss you!” and wished him “good luck on your next adventure!” (Have a feeling we’ll one day be adding the character to our compilation of soaps’ most recast roles!) “Best of luck, my friend!” wrote William Lipton (Cameron).

In response, several cast members sent back their love to the up-and-comer who replaced TK Weaver in 2019 before being replaced himself this fall by Zakary Risinger. “To those I got the chance to work with at General Hospital,” he said, “it was an honor.” “Thanks so much,” he added, “to Frank Valentini and Mark Teschner] for the opportunity.”įasullo also gave a shout-out to his former co-stars. “I learned a ton and grew up a little bit, too! “I had such a great time being Danny” on the ABC soap, he Instagrammed. It’s been a minute since General Hospital recast Porter Fasullo as Jason and Sam’s son, Danny, and now, the young actor is looking back at his stay in Port Charles with a heart that’s full of gratitude.
