I think if Lucky ever did come back, the only one who would be thrown under the bus is Nik. Considering RC's love for LnL2, I could see him white-washing Lucky, Liz giving him yet another chance so they can have their HEA, leaving Nik out in the cold. 

When I think about it, aRC has and is using Nik and Liz as props and props only, not really giving them their own s/l's but putting them in everyone else's and throwing them in for affect. Liz was used to prop newbie Sabrina and the returned-from-the-dead AJ; Nik was used to prop Britt. Now it seems that Liz and Nik have gone from that to being props in the Ben reveal to being props in the Spencer/Cam "war". It's obvious that Niz is headed towards something, but it's my guess that it's not going to be solely about them but it's going to be all about Spencer/Cam, emphasis on Spencer. In other words, Niz may be in the story, but they aren't the focus of the story. Niz isn't even really about Niz--it's about everyone else but Niz. Niz just happens to be there to, well, prop. It'll be interesting to see how Liz responds to Bratty Spencer--if she'll just sit back and keep out of it, or if she'll call the kid out and let Nik know that his son is a major pain in the backside. 

As for a Jason return, who knows what'll happen? I have absolutely no faith in RC, so I can't say I'll be disappointed if it all goes to hell. But I would like to be surprised and he do something right for a change. However, in typical RC-fashion, he usually starts a s/l well but then it falters to dropping, almost plunging, off the face of the earth. I suppose, though, that it will depend on who is playing Jason. But I will say that I don't see SBu coming back any time soon. Maybe after five or seven years, but I don't think it will be before that. But it will be curious if they go with a re-cast how they'll write him and his interactions with everyone in his life, including Liz.  
Since Steve Burton himself was candid that Jawhore was the story, I think if he's recast he's angst for Siam.  Liz may be thrown back into it but lord I hope not as her role prior to his departure was as tire tracks for JaSlag.  His departure just made that storyline less awful as I can only imagine the bussing she'd have taken had he stayed and the storyline played out longer than it did.  They'd have turned her into Heather or something.  She'd be running for the border with the replacement kid frown.gif


 I don't remember which soap blogger was all over RC via twitter about trying to trash Liz the way that he did OLTL's Marty Saybrooke.  I think someone on the board brought over the soap blogger tweets when RC had Liz messing with Sam's maternity test.
