Livingston's Leaving Port Charles!		Nikolas loses yet again!
Sad, but true: Natalia Livingston (Rebecca) is leaving GENERAL HOSPITAL. This is super fresh, so we don’t have a ton of details on when or why, but a show rep confirms it’s a done deal: The Emmy winner is on her way out! Livingston returned to GH in January as Rebecca, a dead ringer for Nikolas’ dead love, Emily. It was no coincidence: Livingston took over the role of Emily from Amber Tamblyn in 2003 and played it until May 2008. "We were thrilled that we were able to get Natalia back for a second run, after her Emmy-winning turn as Emily Quartermaine," GH says in a statement. "The character of Rebecca Shaw will soon depart the canvas and Natalia has decided to pursue other projects. A beloved member of the GH family, the entire cast and crew wish her well in all her future endeavors." In a statement released exclusively to In Depth, Livingston thanks her co-workers and her fans. "I leave GH with a sense of pride and fulfillment. I adore and have so much respect for all my cast mates, Brian, Jill, Bob, all the writers, producers, directors and crew. GH has been a second home to me and I embark on this next chapter of my life with optimism and excitement," she says. "Most of all, I want to thank all of the fans that supported me every step of the way. You guys are truly the best." Check upcoming issues of Soaps In Depth for more details!
