Her name Isn't really Hayden (Rebecca Budig) and so far, she's managed to keep that fact a secret from the people of Port Charles, but her secrets-and her past as Rachel-could quickly come out on General Hospital.

Hayden managed to get Nikolas (Tyler Christopher) to marry her in a ceremony in Las Vegas, as a part of her plot with Tracy (Jane Elliot) to steal ELQ back from him. Tracy seems to know something about Hayden's past-and a scandal she was embroiled in as Rachel-which she has used to ensure Hayden cooperates with her scheme. And so far, the only other hint at her past came when she ran into a man named Baxter Corbin at the same Las Vegas chapel she and Nikolas got married in.

Hayden paid Baxter off not to tell anyone they had seen her and to keep quiet in general-but he quickly placed a phone call to an unknown other person-who definitely knows who Rachel is, and possibly what she's done. And if Baxter knows who Nikolas is, it won't be hard for whoever is looking for Rachel to figure out that they need to head to Port Charles to find her.

Celebrity Dirty Laundry has put out the theory that the unknown person could set up the return of Michael Easton, who confirmed he was coming back to the soap earlier this week. No details were revealed about how he would be back-or if he would even reprise the role of his former character, Silas Clay, who was murdered last summer. If Easton is being brought back in a new role (a strong possibility since he was originally John McBain before becoming Silas), it could see him as the person tied to Hayden's past-and potentially in a role that is unlike one he's had before, giving him the chance to actually be one of the bad guys for once.

General Hospital airs Monday-Friday at 3 p.m. on ABC.
