Just as production is gearing up for Season 3 of MTV’s popular series “Teen Wolf,” there are rumors flying around the Net as to whether or not fan favorite Colton Haynes (aka Jackson Whittemore) will be returning. Read on for what we know so far.

“Colton is leaving Teen Wolf,” a source told Us Weekly. “It’s not that he didn’t want to return because he did. It’s that the heads of the show wanted to limit him to only appearing on half the season — 12 episodes, not 24. If he did the 12 episodes, he would not be able to work on anything else during the 12 episodes he’s not on,” the source explained.

Haynes seemed to confirm his exit by tweeting, “These past few yrs have been the best of my life. I’m sad that this chapter has ended, but excited for a new one to begin. Thx for the love.”

However, a spokesperson for MTV denied the rumors, telling Us there is “absolutely no truth that Colton is being pushed out or that he, or any cast member, is being replaced. We love Colton and look forward to his returning with the entire cast for Season 3 of ‘Teen Wolf’.”

Clear as mud, right? Colton’s character went through a pretty major transformation at the end of Season 2, and we were looking forward to seeing how it played out. Hopefully we’ll have some clarification one way or the other shortly.
