Nik and Liz have always been friends and will always be friends that is what RC is trying to get across.

Any Niz lovers who think that Liz will be anything more than angst for Brik is going to be very disappointed.

Liason always tried to put themselves in the friend category when they were clearly more to each other.

Elizabeth's cautious nature will serve her well in the months to come.
You're entire post is basically why I can't get behind Niz. It's no secret that I loathe Niz as a romantic couple. But taking that away, all sarcasm aside, I truly, honestly do not get it. I see Niz on-screen, and there's nothing between them that indicates a deep-in-the-soul love for each other. With their other pairings, whether I liked them or not, I always got it. I could see it, like it was tangible. I understood it. But Niz being romantic, I truly don't. All I see between them is their deep, long-standing friendship. 

Yes, friends can be great lovers and partners, but as of now, I see Niz as being each others' safety net. Not a rebound, per se, but not that soulmate, would die for love type thing that Liz and Nik have had with others. I see them re-establishing and repairing the damage to their friendship that their affair caused, which is definitely a good thing, but as for them being "in love", it seems forced. Maybe forced isn't the right word. More like they're settling. Niz love is safe, and what is that Liz told Jason: "Love shouldn't be safe." But that's exactly what Niz is: SAFE. Not to mention risk-free, especially now that Lucky isn't in the picture. 

To sum it up, this is why I think Niz will never, ever measure up to Liason. "Liason always tried to put themselves in the friend category when they were clearly more to each other."  Niz, on the other hand, are trying to put themselves in the "more to each other than friends" category when they simply aren't. 

Excellent post.  RC should have left Liz and Nik in friend mode and nothing else.  Yes, Nik could have warned Liz about AJ and she could have warned him about Britt, but to try and "force" some kind of "real soul mate true love" nonsense (IMO) has fallen flat.   RC likes the Cassadine craziness and he has found a woman for Nik in Britt with Britt's connections to crazy ass Faison and Dr. O.  RC likes the Spencer's and probably would have paired Liz up with Lucky, but thankfully JJ will stay far, far, away from GH!  I just can't with Liz being paired with either Nik or her crazy psycho ex-husband.  Now, if Nathan had been cast with a seasoned sexy and hot actor around Becky's age, I could have gone for for Liz and Nate, especially since he probably will end up being Victor Cassadine's son and that would mean Liz would share air time with all of RC's current pets (Nate, Dr. O, etc) and it would  piss Britt off that her newfound brother was in love with Liz.  smiley: laugh
