Hayden Barnes Returning, But as a Recast?

[David_Vickers]

  There are now rumors that Hayden Barnes is indeed coming back.   However, this time, it will not be Rebecca Budig in the role.  Marie Wilson, who played Scott's daughter Karen Wexler on GH spin-off PORT CHARLES, is rumored to be a re-cast Hayden.   Wilson also played Meg Snyder on ATWT and Summer Townsend on DAYS.  So far seen in 2 sites, generalhospitalblog.com and SoapDirt.Com.  Don't know how reliable either are.

Summer the bummer as Hayden?

Funny thing is I was about to say she's too old, but then I looked it up and she's actually a year younger than Rebecca Budig

@KMan101 they had the GreenPea/Ryan reunion all set but hadn't secured Budig.  It is my understanding, she has no desire to return.  They need to let the character go.

I see no point without Budig in the role.  She is entertaining in roles where she gets to walk the line closer to being a bitch, Cam has been better than expected as Drew, and she has the right chemistry with all the players- including Liz.  Just a waste of a re-write and all this nonsense if it’s not her.

Ah. Yeah they do.
