General Hospital spoilers from a leaked script predict Hayden Barnes‘ (Rebecca Budig) return – and she might be the mystery stalker. Is she on her way back to Port Chuck soon to see her daughter and get vengeance at the same time? Hayden could be the mystery stalker freaking out Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) and his wife, Ava Jerome (Maura West), on GH. Soon, Nikolas may find himself in a world of trouble on the ABC soap opera. Check out some of the hints dropped recently that it could be his ex-wife coming for them…
General Hospital Spoilers: Ava Jerome & Nikolas Cassadine Targeted
Currently, on GH, someone is stalking Ava Jerome and her husband, Nikolas Cassadine. However, it was just suggested by detective Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) that Nikolas might be the real target and not Ava. However, the first two creepy presents were sent to Ava, recall General Hospital recaps. So, they suspected they were from Ryan Chamberlain (Jon Lindstrom).
However, the latest threat was not a gift – but simply a dagger through a photo of the happy couple. And the knife was aimed through Nikolas. Of course, this is much scarier because whoever is after them can clearly access the grounds of Wyndemere. Plus, they had access to the trophy case and knew how to get into it.
Nikolas and Ava are tired of Ryan's games, West Coast. Can they convince the PCPD that he's stalking them from his hospital bed?

Of course, Spencer Cassadine (Nicolas Bechtel) is a likely culprit. Awhile back, Spencer made clear he’s furious that his father married Ava. And he knows his way around the family home. So, he has the motive and the know-how to terrorize his dad and step-mom. But, there is another person with a motive to target Nikolas, suggest General Hospital spoilers.
Hayden Barnes as the Mystery Stalker on GH?
There’s also a chance Hayden Barnes could be taunting Nikolas on General Hospital. At a glance, it seems a long shot for Hayden to come back – but it would be a fun twist if she did. And it ties into a few current storylines. Whoever is messing with Ava might be doing it to get to Nikolas.
No doubt, Hayden Barnes has several reasons to hate Nik. Long-time viewers will recall that Nikolas put a hit out on Hayden years ago. As a result, Hayden was shot in the head and slipped into a coma. For a while, Hayden couldn’t remember who shot her.
It was believed that Shawn Butler (Sean Blakemore) hit Hayden when he was aiming for Jake Doe (Billy Miller). But, Hayden Barnes eventually remembered that it was Nikolas. Now, Shawn remains in prison for a crime he didn’t commit.
Hayden put this aside for a bit when she helped Nikolas search for the codicil that would give him control over the Cassadine estate once again. But, she did that for herself and her daughter. Recall, Nikolas promised her a hefty payment on General Hospital.
However, Nikolas made things worse when he hired a thug to attack Hayden Barnes and force her out of town. Because of Nikolas, it seemed Hayden had no choice but to leave her daughter Violet Finn (Jophielle Love) and go into hiding. Now, Hayden may be back for revenge, and it seems like perfect timing on GH.
Will Hayden Shock Hamilton Finn on General Hospital – LEAKED Script
The last time we saw Hayden Barnes on GH, she stunned Hamilton Finn (Michael Easton) with news of their daughter Violet. This time, she may shock him by returning after abruptly leaving Violet in his care. A recently leaked script shows a surprise visitor will show up and stun Finn and Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst). And the script pretty much reveals it’s Hayden’s sister.
This mystery character appears when Violet is with Finn and her aunt Elizabeth. The person asks, “Violet, is that you?” And after a moment, Violet runs happily to the woman while Finn looks on in shock. Then, Finn says, “I didn’t know you were planning a visit.” Surely, Hayden Barnes is great at popping up unexpectedly. And given what happens in the script – who else would it be?
This leaked script points to Liz’s sister coming back… But, she has another good reason to be in town since Shawn name-dropped her recently. Currently, Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) is helping Shawn prove his innocence in Hayden Barnes’ shooting. So, now is the perfect time for a reappearance on General Hospital.
GH Spoilers: Nik in Trouble
Nikolas might end up in serious trouble soon on General Hospital. Recent spoilers promise that Alexis makes a startling discovery while working with Shawn to clear his name. Hayden knows who is responsible for shooting her. So, Alexis may discover this and find Hayden.
Of course, Alexis will be horrified when she finds out it’s Nikolas. But, Alexis wants to do the right thing and bring Hayden Barnes’ real shooter to justice. So, seeing as Hayden’s shooting is a front-burner topic right now, it’s the one big reason GH has to bring her back.
It actually makes sense for the sudser to write her return for a short arc. It is unlikely that Hayden Barnes would be back on General Hospital long-term. But, in the short run, it makes perfect sense for her to waltz back into Port Chuck. Shawn may be a free man soon, and Hayden is the best person to help make it happen.
Then, Nikolas may finally go down for his crime all these years later. However, there is a strong possibility he might only get a slap on the wrist. And this may further show the systematic injustice that is currently front and center on the sudser in the Alexis-Shawn storyline.
So, before we know it, we may see Hayden Barnes in town to shock everyone – especially Nikolas – and make him pay at last – hint ABC daytime spoilers. Wait to see when and if this leaked script plays out on the soap.
