General Hospital Writer Shoots Down Rumors

Don't worry, General Hospital fans.

While rumors have been floating around that Tyler Christopher (Nikolas, pictured) and Natalia Livingston (Emily) are on the way out, a rather well-placed source says this is far from the case.

"Both of these actors are locked down," the show's head writer, Robert Guza, Jr., said to Soap Opera Digest. "There's no covering up here. They're around and what happens to Nikolas in the coming weeks is going to be a catalyst for [November] sweeps."
