Niz are definitely in the friends category.
Obviously, thinking maybe they could be more.
I was glad Liz told Nik they would not move forward until he resolved what he currently felt for Britt.

She knows he will return to Britt.
She has experienced that herself.
She even returned to Lucky while in love with Jason.
Safe love isn't and hasn't worked for her.
Her being with the one she loves most is ultimately the safest for her.

I will be interested in the Ric of it all.
He is connected to the Jerome family.
Sonny is clearly losing his grip.
Despite his love for Liz, is Ric's angle still all about Sonny?
I really, really miss Jason.
Ric and Jason were great rivals.
Since, it was about Liz.
How would/will the show address Carly and Sam in regards to Jason?
Jason was all about Sam and Danny when he was shot.
Carly was all about Jason until Franco.
Yikes.
I guess it depends what Jason comes back to PC.
Liz is heart broken over what she did to Jason regarding Danny.
I believe Liz would be very hesitant regarding Jason upon his return.
Could the show use Cameron, Aiden or an alive and well Jake to bring them closer together?
What about Robin?
