So many hints have been dropped that Vanessa Marcil will be returning Brenda to General Hospital that this entry barely qualifies as a prediction. Honestly, it’s more of a reminder. “Hey, kids, don’t forget — Sonny and Jax’s ex is probably headed home.”

We will, however, be thrilled if General Hospital not only reveals that the scheme queen still has a pulse but capitalizes on the chemistry between Josh Swickard and Chloe Lanier by hooking up Chase and the vixen who’s long been his Kryptonite.
