General Hospital All Set To Bring Emily Quartermaine Back? Natalia Livingston Returns?

Natalia Livingston, best remembered as Emily Quartermaine, just sparked serious buzz among General Hospital fans.’

In a heartfelt new interview, the actress opened up about her time on the soap—and her hopes for the future.

Before stepping into the world of General Hospital, Livingston was navigating a tough industry. Acting gigs were scarce. While she had taken countless classes, the leap to television wasn’t easy.

Her father’s advice changed everything. He told her to treat the soap as an adventure, not a pressure-packed job. That advice gave her the courage to say yes.

The result? She landed one of GH’s most beloved roles. Livingston brought warmth, depth, and strength to Emily Quartermaine.

Sadly, her story came to a tragic end when she was killed by the text message killer in 2007. The decision shocked viewers—and it surprised Livingston, too.

She returned briefly in later years as Emily’s twin, Rebecca Shaw. But even she admits the original decision to kill Emily might’ve been a misstep. Fans never stopped mourning the loss of such a key Quartermaine.

Would She Come Back To General Hospital?

Now a mom of two, Livingston admits life has shifted. A full-time soap schedule may be too much. But her heart remains connected to General Hospital.

She’d jump at the chance for a limited appearance or a special arc. “I’d love to go back in some form,” she said. Her memories of the show remain rich. Friendships from her GH years have stood the test of time.

Livingston’s love for the cast is a major reason she’d return. She stays in touch with Tamra Braun, Rick Hearst, Cynthia Preston, and others.

The connection to General Hospital never really faded. It’s more than a workplace—it’s family. That sense of community keeps the door open.

Whether she plays Emily again, or reappears in a brand-new role, she’d be welcomed with open arms.

Soap fans have seen characters return from the dead—or show up in surprising new forms. Could Livingston pull off a shocking twist and play a new character entirely?

Or should she come back as Emily’s twin Rebecca? One thing is clear—viewers would be thrilled to see her in Port Charles again.

Looking back, many fans still feel Emily’s death was premature. She was a central part of the Quartermaine family, and her chemistry with key characters was unmatched.

Reintroducing her could spark fresh storylines and long-overdue closure. Should General Hospital bring Natalia Livingston back? And if so, who should she play?
