It wan't until I posted the scan and quote last night that I realized that taken out of context they convey a totally different impression of what's going on between Willie and Nathan from what's actually going on. Although... Well, no, I'll wait until I post Page 12 to get into that...
Can you imagine if they'd paired Liz up with Tony Peterson or Chris Jennings rather than those characters with Carolyn?! Though with Liz' luck, if they were going to go with a younger man, it would have been Jeb Hawkes because that would have actually made some sense. But I wouldn't have ever wished THAT on Liz!!
