According to Natalia via her website, she has NOT signed a deal with GH as reported in the mags. Negotiations have been going on for 3 months and they are NOT going well. Souces say that ATWT has taking interest in the Emmy award winning actress so will she relocate to the east coast???

Also, Finola Hughes will be appearing the week of 7/9..She started taping this week...

Well, the faster Natalia is out of GH, the better!

Then again, I don't want her untalented ass chewing up scenery in Oakdale either!

[Katherine Chancellor]Oh, dear God in heaven![/Katherine Chancellor]

I never thought I'd be so upset at the possibility she'd leave GH! I DO NOT want her on ATWT in any form. I wonder who they'd have her play?

Well, I'm not sure I want NL on ATWT but if they were interested, I have to wonder if it would be to have her bring Lucy back to Oakdale.

I hope something can be worked out. I do like Natalia Livingston as Emily. I wonder 1) if she leaves GH, who will GH get to play Emily? Jennifer Ferrin (ex-Jennifer, ATWT) would be great as Emily, just as Ryan Chandler cast her in his Port Charles: End Game Blog. I bet if Natalia goes to ATWT, she'll play Lucy Montgomery. I get sick of the Natalia hate. She's a fairly good actress IMHO and has made Emily her own. I don't think I want Amber Tamblyn back on GH.

I second Chris B. with the Kay Chancellor-ness. Oh God! Oh, dear God!

Stay away from Oakdale, Livingston. That's all I'm going to say.

That was so [!@#$%^&*] uncalled for. I find her very talented & hope whatever she chooses is best for her. I hope she stays on GH because I love her as Emily.

Natalia recently just finish taping West of Brooklyn in nyc (brooklyn) where ATWT is filmed *hint hint* but I agree with you Mudler, I think she would be playing Lucy but as for GH...Since she hasn't signed a new contract yet, I wonder if Emily would go into coma or disappear off screen like Todd from oltl!?!?

I also notice GH hasn't been using her much lately either, and she hasn't seemed to have gotten a storyline in while. It makes you wonder...

Who has gotten a storyline outside of the 5 characters they overuse?

Natalia has proven that when given a strong s/l, she is a great actress. Unfortunately, a majority of her airtime is reduced her being a wilting damsel in distress. I doubt people would be singing Michelle Stafford's praises if all she had to do on screen was say "there... there. It will be all right! I know you'll save me!"

During the Hostage Crisis in Feb sweeps, she was magnificent!

well it was on soapdish board that ATWT wants her for recast lucy

Well, Emily did have the Craig/Nickelass SL earlier this year! She has not been completely forgotten.

Oh dear lord. If she leaves GH she should be banned from ever acting again! Giving her the emmy I think was the biggest injustice ever there.

Definitely keep her away from Oakdale!

I love NL, the thought of her leaving the role of Emily sickens me! I loved her playing opposite of SB and MB she just shines.

Well it looks like the Q's are dropping like flies. What the hell is wrong with ABCD? I hope they are able to work this out with NL.
