it's the usual Ploy of the Soap mag to get people to buy the Mags
they all do the 'Brenda" thing every couple of Months- it gets Old real fast---

Last I read the people at GH has an open door invitation for Vanessa Marcell to return as Brenda, but Vanessa hasn't said yes or no to the offer.

At this point, I think Brenda would only make a mess of things between Sonny and all his women. I would love to see her back...but she does't need to get caught up in the current drama. Clean that up and then bring her back.

Those magazines are deliberately misleading. They'll spread whatever rumors they think will sell. It's not for ratings, it's to sell magazines, but either way you're right about it just being a stunt.

I don't believe Jax will bring Brenda home for good.
The actress has a successful career on another show.
Who knows? She may visit because she'll hear about Sonny's son.
I've read 101 times that the door is still wide open for her if she wants to make a return for a visit or come back to Port Charles to stay.
