The production team confirmed that Rebecca Budig is returning to the show and Hayden will remain on contract. We achieved our objective through consistent pressure and direct communication with network executives. Monitoring will continue to ensure this commitment to the character remains upheld throughout the next production cycle.

Rebecca Budig has a long acting career and is truly a gem to television. When she made her epic return to Daytime TV and brought the character of Hayden to General Hospital, it was a breath of fresh air that the show needed. In her role, she has managed to evoke emotion and passion with many GH viewers and quickly became a fan favorite.
This character has since been anchored to be a part of the legacy Webber family and has had plenty of storylines that makes her character a necessity, dynamic, and rich. Her story needs to continued to be told. It'll be a disservice to let her go!

the viewers deserve to see the story of Hayden continue. The story of sisters Elizabeth and Hayden and of course their father Jeff Webber. Why bring in characters, get us to like the character and storyline and then just drop it? So unfair.
She could prove invaluable to your show if you used her talents properly. I was so excited the day she joined GH I almost peed myself. Keep her and write her some witty spoiled brat dialogue that she does so well. Humor is the key with Rebecca.
PLEASE keep Hayden on! I admit at first I really couldn't stand her character BUT now I've really come to love Hayden!!! I love her relationship with Finn an I was loving the sister relationship with Liz if that storyline could be given a chance
Please reconsider letting Rebecca leave GH, she has been a wonderful addition to the cast, bringing Hayden to life, She and Michael Easton are a joy to watch, and my main reason for tuning in. A love story worth following. Please bring Rebecca back.
I agree with the comments - why make her Elizabeth's sister, have her get pregnant and then let her go. Aside from that, she is a really good actress. I've been watching her since she was on AMC and was happy see her on GH. Please reconsider!
Bring Hayden back. At least long enough to wrap up her affairs with Lisa, Her ex-husband, GH, Spencer (& the Cassadine legacy), and of course, Finn!

I love the character. And her acting is Emmy caliber and her bond to Liz makes me want more and her character is a legacy unlike most. She's tied to Liz who is tied to the original Grams . jeep her. Bye bye Kiki or Julian. I love Ava tho so...
