The actress took a summer vacation from the soap, and last aired at the beginning of July. The original plan was for her to return in August, but now GH has confirmed that Hughes has extended her time off.

MUST SEE: Nick Stabile is Out as Nikolas on GH, but Tyler Christopher Isn’t on His Way Back!

Now we’re hearing that Hughes won’t be back on GH until later this fall. Hopefully Jordan can keep Port Charles crime under control until Anna returns! We’ll keep you updated on further details of when you can expect to see Hughes again as we get them!
