Is Regine avoiding appearances on SOP? Is the show really nearing its end?

There are contradicting rumors about Regine Velasquez and SOP nowadays. Some are saying that Regine has been sick so she was not able to appear on SOP for two Sundays now. But some are saying that she was sick. Here's a report from Jun Latin of abante-tonite:

Naaliw ang ilang entertainment press sa ‘press release’ ng ilang taga-GMA 7 sa dahilan kaya palaging wala ngayon si Regine Velasquez sa SOP.
Sabi, madalas daw kasing nagkakasakit si Regine.
Noong Enero 24 ay wala rin si Regine sa show at may sakit na naman daw ang ‘lovey-dovey’ ni Ogie Alcasid, pero um-attend ang Songbird sa story conference ng bago niyang teleserye sa nasabing TV network, ang Diva.
Obvious daw na palusot na lang na may sakit si Regine kaya palagi itong absent sa SOP.

However, according to Pilipino Star Ngayon, Regine will be returning to SOP next Sunday.

And then there are also speculations that SOP will be revamped or replaced soon. There is still no confirmation about this but PSN also reported that the term "Fully Charged" has been dropped from SOP.

Comments please.
