ABC Soaps In Depth is reporting Natalia Livingston will be saying goodbye to the citizens the fictional town of Port Charles, as she is leaving General Hospital. No word on when the actress will depart her role as Rebecca.

Here's a look at what's coming up!

Summer is a sizzling and so is General Hospital, or at least that is what they are hoping we think. On today's episode Johnny and Olivia were getting it on when Sonny called, providing one of the episode's more humorous moments. Meanwhile, Nikolas and NotEmily were doing it like they were on True Blood, not living in Port Charles. Is this love in the afternoon? More images of JoLivia, Nikolas and NotEmily after the jump.

Is it "love in the afternoon" when it's done in the hay and with a doppleganger? General Hospital seems to be ramping up the "love scenes," but can Johnny and Olivia having sex really be considered love? Is Nikolas sleeping with a carbon copy of his long lost Emily Quartermaine what fans are craving? More pictures of Nikolas and NotEmily after the jump. READ MORE

In the interest of seizing the opportunity, with Amber Tamblyn's latest primetime vehicle sinking faster than Chuck Pratt's approval rating—or I.Q. for that matter— I say Brian Frons get on the horn and ask Tamblyn to reprise the role that made her famous, General Hospital's Emily Bowen Quartermaine.
 
Since Bad Granny (Constance Towers) is in town for a spell, why can't GH simply say she's been holding the real Emily captive, before slicing NotEmily's throat, as part of Guza's next Sweeps fartacular? I'm sure GH fans would turn a blind eye to Emily suddenly having her original face, the way One Life to Live viewers did when Max Holden came back with his old kisser, or when Amerasian Blair Daimler suddenly became white and from the South.

Lucky and Rebecca

Nikolas and Rebecca

I know we've already dished about the great Constance Towers return as Helena Cassadine on General Hospital. The actress has confirmed the news on her official website. Constance and Helena return this April. To celebrate her return, check out some classic clips of Constance as Helena after the jump. READ MORE

Here’s the Scoop! 03.05.09

We’re going to make today a Q & A day. Tomorrow will be an off day unless my new internet is hooked up early enough to blog. Ask away and I’ll answer what I can.

So Luke loves the Cassadines and he always calls for a resurgence of all things Cassadine and to most that means their evil ways. Nikolas is always seen as the good Cassadine and I’m still trying to figure out what kind of Cassadine Alexis is supposed to be. They seem to forget that Sam is a Cassadine which sucks for the Sam fans but is ok by me. Apparently a RUMOR is out there that the ultimate Cassadine is returning. Helena! This RUMOR say Constance Towers MAY be returning in April. Why the return? I’m not sure but ever since Natalia Livingston returned as Rebecca and not as fan favorite Emily Quartermaine fans have been clamoring for Rebecca Shaw to really be Emily and have said Helena should be involved in the fake death. Word of Caution… the Helena RUMORS supposedly are coming from SID and while it’s a great mag sometimes their RUMORS are more miscommunication than actual facts. READ MORE

Since NotEmily's (Natalia Livingston) arrival in Port Charles I've been trying to figure out what The Powers That Be were up to. Today I think I figured it out. This has to be a conspiracy to make the once proud Cassadine family even more pathetic than the lows achieved during the Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) as Dobson the Butler storyline.

I refuse to believe that any Cassadine, even one birthed by the sainted womb of Laura Spencer and who many believe to be "the good Cassadine," would be so pathetic as to do what Nikolas (Tyler Christopher) is doing now.

This is not how a Cassadine behaves, much less the prince of the Cassadines. Any Cassadine worth their salt would manipulate, steal, kidnap, or even kill to get what they want. Look at what Stefan and Stavros did because of their "love" for Laura. Alexis killed to protect Kristina. I won't even go into the many things that Helena has done.  READ MORE

Yes! I thought there was a resemblance.

Maybe I'd have to pay closer attention.

No! I don't see a resemblance.
