What are we to believe?

I honestly don't get what TPTB are doing with the Lucky/Liz/Nik story arc at the moment. When the story first started I was already to buy into the "woman in love with two men" angle, but unfortunately the writers did a complete u-turn and changed everything.

When everything first started happening, around the time of the Carnival, Liz was actually trying to fight her feelings for Nikolas while trying to decide whether or not she should accept Lucky's marriage proposal.

So what does Liz do? She goes to Nik, sleeps with him and then accepts Lucky's proposal to Nik's complete utter shock. Then the two of them, Lik or Niz if you prefer, try and go about their lives; her with Lucky, him with Rebecca; but the chemistry and passion keeps drawing them together and they not only begin a steamy affair, but they actually profess their love for one another.

That was the great part of the story; even though Liz said she didn't want her life to blow up because of their lies and betrayal she was truly falling in love with the Cassadine Prince.

Then Lucky finds out and blasts both of them - that was THE best part. Liz actually got called out for cheating, lying, sleeping with her fiance's brother, etc ...

Oh, but wait, Liz can't be the one that's at fault; Lucky can't be the victim - insert breakdown for Liz and shine the halo. Nik is asking his brother where his compassion is and claiming Liz has suffered enough. Compassion? Lucky is supposed to have compassion for the woman that accepted his marriage proposal even though she was sleeping with his brother? Liz has suffered enough? How exactly has she suffered? It was literally what two days and Liz suffers from hypothermia? Yeah, that's suffering. No one called her out with the exception of Lucky and Lulu; even Sam took the high road and didn't judge Liz for what she did to Lucky; not that Sam's moral compass has always pointed north.

So, Liz finds herself in Shadybrook because what she feels guilty? Are you freaking kidding me? Since when does cheating, lying and everything else equal a breakdown? It's simply because the writers want the viewers to sympathize with Liz.

What bothers me is not just that it seems as though Liz is going to get off scott free as usual; but she told Lucky he has no obligation to her or her unborn child whether he is the father or not! Again, are you freaking kidding me???? Lucky is the ONLY father Cameron and Jake have ever known and NOW Liz tells Lucky he has no obligation to her or her baby?

Not only that, but umm, she was professing her love to Nikolas until Lucky found out, and now she wants nothing to do with him? That means one of two things, she either never loved him and it was purely sexual for her or she's so blinded by her own guilt that she's punishing the man she thought she loved because she lost the man that's always been her savior.

They even have Lucky lying to Liz that he forgives her to help Liz get through her breakdown and Nikolas is professing his love while Liz is acting like he makes her skin crawl; hmmm, isn't that the man she was professing her love to while she was shagging him on a couch in Wyndemere?

Is the big plan to have Lucky actually finally be the father of one of Liz's kids and bring LnL2 back together in the end, or will Nik win the first woman he's loved since he lost Emily?

It seems as though Liz really only wants Lucky now that she's lost him. Is it too late? Will Nik win the heart of the first woman he's loved since he lost Emily? Will LnL2 reunite for the umpteenth time? At this point, I just hope TPTB pick a direction and stick with it.
