X-ray technician Rebecca Shaw arrives in fictional [[Port Charles, New York (fictional city)|Port Charles, New York]] in January 2009, and local residents are shocked at her resemblance to Dr. Emily Quartermaine, who had been murdered over a year before. Rebecca becomes more evasive about her past as she meets Emily's inquisitive loved ones, including Emily's former fiance [[Nikolas Cassadine]]. Though touched by the story of Nikolas and Emily's romance, Rebecca is put off by Nikolas' persistence; she meets his half-brother [[Lucky Spencer]], who is the first person in town to ask her about herself.<ref>[http://www.soaps.com/generalhospital/update/6158/Sonnys_Back_in_the_Drivers_Seat ''General Hospital'' recap (2/25/09) - Soaps.com]</ref> Rebecca and Lucky begin dating, which puts the brothers slightly at odds; Rebecca is also drawn to Nikolas, and they kiss. |

|||
With a plan of revenge in mind, Nikolas soon starts dating Rebecca again, determined to make her pay for using Emily's memory to scam him. He also hopes Rebecca can distract him from Elizabeth, as he is becoming more and more attracted to her. In the ensuing weeks, Nikolas and Elizabeth kiss several times and even have sex in a hospital supply closet. After overhearing both Lucky and Rebecca just outside the door afterward, their guilty feelings resurface, and Elizabeth resolves again that nothing more can happen between them.<ref>http://abc.go.com/shows/general-hospital/episode-guide/episode-11930/335713?page=2</ref> |

Not much later, Nikolas breaks off his relationship with Rebecca for good, telling her that it was all an act. He discloses how, in a moment of regret about his plan to seduce her, he even offered Ethan money to taker her away, but Ethan declined. But after Rebecca tells Lucky that Nikolas was cold and detached as he ended things with her, Lucky tells Rebecca that must be why Nikolas seemed so inexplicably subdued when Lucky spoke with him earlier that day about his plan to call off the engagement to Elizabeth. Rebecca interprets this as a sign of regret from Nikolas and shows up to surprise Nikolas at his stable. Taking off her coat to reveal that she is naked, Rebecca tries to seduce him, but Nikolas picks up her coat and covers her with it, telling her that he will never be able to care for her because his heart belongs to another woman. Rebecca takes this to mean Emily and tells Nikolas that she is willing to keep trying anyway. But Nikolas is adamant that he is not interested. After an angry exchange, Rebecca returns to General Hospital, where she runs into Lucky again and tells him what happened. |

Ultimately Rebecca decides to go back to Wyndemere once more, where she sees Elizabeth and Nikolas in the living room having sex because the door is ajar. Finally understanding that Nikolas does not care about her, she goes to the casino, where Ethan serves up drinks and sympathy, though she does not tell him exactly why she is so hurt and angry. Now intoxicated, she heads out, determined to tell Lucky the truth about his brother and his fiancee. But as she approaches Lucky's house, she steps into the street and gets hit by a car. The driver turns out to be Nikolas, who also had been rushing to Lucky's. He had looked away from the road momentarily because of his cell phone. Nikolas calls for help and apologizes to Rebecca, who spews anger at him. She tells Nikolas that she saw him with Elizabeth and plans to tell Lucky. At General Hospital, the doctors weigh whether to operate, saying Rebecca could be paralyzed if her swelling does not abate, but the new chief of staff, Steven Webber, Elizabeth's brother, makes the decision that they should wait. Soon the waiting room begins to fill, as Elizabeth and the Quartermaines arrive. Monica tries to calm down Edward, but he tells her, "Haven't you learned, Monica? The worst really does happen." Lucky arrives to investigate and speaks with Rebecca, who confirms that it was an accident and does not reveal her secret. Steven later goes to Rebecca's room to introduce himself and asks her to be kind to Elizabeth. |
|||
On December 22, 2009, Rebecca decided to leave Port Charles for Paris. Aboard the plane, she sat next to a man known only as Aaron. In a bizarre twist, Aaron looks exactly like Zander Smith, Emily's former love interest. |
