The biggest question on everyone's minds after Peter Weber's ex Hannah Brown made an appearance on last week's 'The Bachelor' is... will she stay?

Pilot Pete asked Hannah B, who was the Bachelorette in the last season of the series, to stay — putting the whole show into quite the limbo. During the time Hannah was the Bachelorette, she had dumped Peter and had chosen another contestant, Jedd, and the engagement had fallen through. 

"He asked me to stay, I don't know what to do now," Hannah B is heard saying in a sneak peek for this week's episode while another contestant asks, "How are we supposed to compete with his ex?" While the concern from the girls in the house who are vying for Peter's love is legitimate, fans don't think Hannah B is going to stay. 

"Y’all know she didn’t stay. This was taped around the same time as dancing with the stars," said a Bachelor Nation fan, while another agreed, "She was on DWTS the entire time this was filming, she doesn't stay or return at all. ABC just trying to mislead viewers for ratings. And I've realized most people are gullible or don't know bachelor/ette seasons are taped months in advance."

Indeed, after her time as 'The Bachelorette' and making waves in reality television, Hannah B went on to film 'Dancing with the Stars' and won the coveted mirror ball trophy. With the current season being shot months ago, it would be a strong probability that Hannah B does not stay with Pete. 

Fans also believe that it wasn't Hannah who wanted to come back on the show and wreak havoc but it was all "the producer's fault". "You know when you're on an ABC show you’re in a contract. She literally HAD to go back because of that. It wasn’t a choice for her ABC just wants ratings they could care less about her feelings or Peter's," said an enraged fan after fellow Twitter users slammed Hannah for her actions on the episode. 

After entering the Bachelor mansion in the first hour of the three-hour premiere, Hannah B later appears during a date section — that Peter was in with the other girls — and crashes it. She starts crying and telling Peter about how difficult the whole thing has been and that regrets not giving him a rose — stirring up some old feelings for Pete.
