"This is the one thing I've always hated about soaps, especially when it comes to female characters. It's like there's some all-powerful force out there that demands that women MUST be in a pairing or else. The thing is, Liz is one of those few characters that DOESN'T have to be in a pairing to make a s/l work for her."


Totally agree. Aren't the majority of soap opera fans women? And isn't there a stat out there that says 50% are divorced? It would be really great to see this played out instead of constantly weakening her character by having her the loser in a love triangle. If she can't develop a healthy relationship sl, then give her a strong story line that revolves around OTHER things that we women do. Family, job, hobbies, community... geez! 

Regardless of who they might have her involved with, I'd really like to see whomever 'he' is be doing the pursuing... and the proving.
