Prince Nikolas Cassadine and Dr. Emily Quartermaine are fictional characters and a popular supercouple on the ABC daytime, soap opera, General Hospital. Nikolas has been played by Tyler Christopher since 1996 and the role of Emily, originated by Amber Tamblyn from 1995 to 2001, was played by Natalia Livingston from 2003 to 2009.
Storylines
Nikolas and Emily met as teens and were apart of General Hospital's teen scene of the late 90s, along with Lucky Spencer and Elizabeth Webber. The four were known as the Four Musketeers and were involved in several mysteries and adventures around Port Charles. Nikolas and Emily were best friends, and as they got closer Emily began to develop romantic feelings for him. However, she didn't feel that Nikolas returned her feelings at that time, so she started to date Juan Santiago instead. Emily left town in 2001 and returned in 2003, hiding the fact that she had developed breast cancer. She reconnects with Nikolas, and convinces him to fake a romantic relationship with her, so she can hide her diagnosis from her ex-boyfriend, Zander Smith. Nikolas agreed because his uncle, Stefan Cassadine, had been pressuring him to marry Lydia Karenin, a wealthy heiress who can save his family from losing their fortune, and he was looking for a way out of the marriage.
Emily and Nikolas became engaged, despite protests from Stefan and Zander. On the night of their engagement party, a hitman hired by Stefan accidentally throws Summer Holloway, Lucky's girlfriend, over a cliff to her death in an attempt to murder Emily. As Emily battled breast cancer, Nikolas became her most trusted confidant. As their feelings grew, Emily became torn between Nikolas and her first love Zander. Nikolas develops true romantic feelings for Emily, but Emily decides to tell Zander the truth. Zander and Emily reunite and she begins an aggressive chemotherapy treatment. Nikolas marries Lydia, but Emily discovers he is in love with her after overhearing a conversation between Nikolas and his wife. Emily and Nikolas confess their feelings for each other, but decide not to act on them because of her illness, Zander and Lydia.
Emily is forced to stop chemotherapy because it was destroying her immune system. She soon develops meningitis and believing she would die, she married Zander as her last gift to him. Shortly after, she lapses into unconsciousness and dreams of kissing Nikolas, who happens to be in the room next door. Buoyed by her dream, Emily eventually enters remission and fights her attraction to Nikolas. Attempting to make her marriage work, Emily moves into Brenda Barrett's old cottage with Zander. However, Emily and Nikolas could no longer resist each other and slept with one another on the floor of the cottage Zander bought for her. Witnessing their adultery started Zander on a downward spiral, and Emily ended their marriage.
Nikolas divorces Lydia shortly after he proposes to Emily. Nikolas' aunt, Alexis Davis attempts to sell their family home, Wyndemere, but Emily buys it for Nikolas. Nikolas and Emily hold an auction at the Port Charles Hotel to sell some Cassadine family treasures, when the entire hotel catches on fire. Nikolas gives his seat to Emily on the last helicopter evacuating guests, and is later presumed dead, but returns to find Emily recovering in the hospital. Zander, who lost his father in the hotel fire, became increasingly unstable. He took Emily hostage and tried to kidnap her, but he later lets her go and is gunned down by the police. He dies in Emily's arms. Nikolas was driving home from buying Emily an engagement ring when he heard of the hostage situation. It caused him to get into a car accident that leads everyone to believe he is dead. However, in reality, war widow, Mary Bishop took him in and left Port Charles, leaving Emily and his family to believe he was dead. Mary's husband, Connor Bishop, who looked identical to Nikolas, had been presumed dead in the Iraq War. Mary lied to Nikolas and convinced him that he was her late husband, Connor.
Emily convinces Lucky to go on a trip to Mexico that Nikolas had planned for them, and is stunned when she spots Nikolas, who was there with Mary to renew the vows she had made with Connor. Deciding not to force Nikolas' memory to return, Emily confronts Mary back in Port Charles, but decides to keep the truth from Nikolas, remembering the trauma her brother Jason Morgan endured because of his memory loss. When a still amnesiac Nikolas learns that his friends and family knew who he really was and didn't tell him, he rejects them in favor for a life with Mary. Lucky, who had been Emily's support through this ordeal, admits he has romantic feelings for her, but she gently rebuffs his advances. While Emily decides to become a doctor like her parents, she also carefully worked to unlock Nikolas' fragile mind, and when Nikolas finally remembers Emily, the two reconcile. A distraught Mary goes insane and murdered Sage Alcazar and another teen before she is shot and killed by Nikolas. Nikolas and Emily get engaged again. Unhappy with the news, Nikolas' grandmother, Helena Cassadine attempts to murder Emily, but Nikolas stops her by throwing Helena over a cliff.
Shortly after Mary's death, her husband, Connor Bishop, who had gone AWOL and faked his death, came to town on orders from a very alive Helena. His task was to kidnap Emily, which he does. After a confrontation and struggle with Nikolas, Connor is shot. Nikolas, Lucky, Elizabeth, and Emily debate about turning Connor in for being AWOL, but agree to help him escape from Canada. When Connor foils their plans, to spare Emily the pain of a trial, Nikolas pled guilty to Helena's murder, and the two married before he was sent to prison. Connor returned to town again with orders from Helena to seduce Emily. Believing Helena is alive, Emily convinces Connor to pretend he is Nikolas, as she instructs him on the finer arts of being a prince. Connor becomes obsessed with Emily, and rapes her. After, Emily manages to kill Connor. Elizabeth and Lucky arrive, and while Lucky buries Connor, Elizabeth tries to get Emily to admit Connor raped her. Emily's attack caused her to emotionally pull away from Nikolas.
Helena resurfaces, kidnaps Emily, and shoots Lucky, who tries to save Emily. Lucky falls into a coma, and Emily confesses that she was raped to her first friend. When Lucky recovers, he moves into Wyndemere with Emily, and attempts to help her recover from the rape. In prison, Nikolas becomes concerned about Emily's reluctance to touch him, and she admits Connor raped her. Helena is captured, though Nikolas is devastated that Emily cannot be with him because he looks just like her rapist. Helena's capture led to Nikolas' release from prison.

Nikolas' befriended Courtney Matthews, who was in her own strained marriage to Jasper Jacks. Nikolas and Courtney soon embarked on an affair.
