FIRE.
They embody the passion and forbidden lust of romantic love, an urge, a hunger so fierce and wild that can be felt by all days afterwards. A longing and desire so strong and so primal that must be satisfied. The beauty of their relationship is that it stemmed from friendship and will end in friendship but what is said and done in between the start and the end of it has nothing to do with friendship at all. It has to do with vulnerability and emotions and lust and passion and desire. It is not a sexual or romantic relationship with lasting power but one that like a orchid will bloom and wither in a burst of glory and all that will remain is the dried remains of them is the hurt feelings of their past. And from the ashes of their past, a friendship as tried and tested will rise up like the phoenix. Besides, haven't you noticed how the best of friends are the ones who've slept together and had really, really bad break ups? So let's enjoy this relationship before they go back to being just friends ! (Of course, if Nikolas realizes that Kathrine and him are the perfect couple and should get married and have kids, well, all I want to say is, far be it from me to stand in the way of fate!) The reason I've attached to these two characters are because of the intricacies of Kathrine's character now, you see what she wants you to see, think what she tells you to think about her and the only person who's seen the real Kathrine and not run away (Or watch her fall off of the landing on the stairs) is Nikolas. He is the one who breaks her defensed down and sees the whirlwind emotion that is Kathrine Bell. Likewise, Kathrine is the first woman, not girl, woman, who has seen him for what he, a young man confused. (A GORGEOUS young man confused). First off, to those who dislike Kathrine and Nikolas's relationship, why? Nikolas pursued Kathrine, he was the one who flirted and chased her and it was she who was the mature one to stop him, point out the differences between them as well as the one who is dominated in the relationship and mocked by those who know of their relationship.
JULY 22 1999 - Well, all in favor of beating the living @#$* out of Nikolas say Aye...
And Nikolas walks out, leaving Kathrine on the bed.) Bastard! Ok, so what I'm trying to prove, and this is giving away the most important lines in an upcoming fanfic which will set everything all right is the fact that Nikolas built Kathrine up to be perfection, inhuman, and Kathrine, to recieve Nikolas's love did inhuman things to keep it. And Nikolas, when realizing this gets upset with Kathrine shows he still has some pent up agression against women which stems from Laura. I'm only hoping and praying that this is just one more break-up in their history but I fear it is the final one. If anyone out there has read A Streetcar Named Desire. They might see GH's writing staff mirroring the play. A fallen heroine (Blanche/Kathrine) who lies to the one true man who loves her (Mitch/Nikolas) about her sorid past. All Kathrine has done, all she has ever wanted to do is to be loved, and Nikolas was the one who did that, love her, get her to open up only to throw what she confided in him in her face and laughing at it. (Again, the "human" scene and in July 21st, "If this is your idea of love, no wonder you're alone.") And in one of (IMHO) MBE's best acted scenes, Kathrine told Nikolas to think before leaving, because she wouldn't let him back in. It was a desperate woman's attempt at salvaging some dignity. But both she and Nikolas know she was trying to get him back.
I really hope that the writing team of GH knows what they have just done. Destroying a dynamic and intriguing couple, for the sake of a pathetic and unimaginative pairing with Nikolas and Elizabeth. But for Kathrine's sake, I'll include this song, which it seems is written for this exact situation.
JULY 21 1999 - Well, I'm not going to pretend that nothing has happened. The role of Nikolas Cassadine was recast, and on July 20 1999, Coulton Scott (A soap actors name if ever I've heard one.) Well, he's just as good looking and just as bad as a kisser than Tyler Christopher. C'est la vie!
They broke up. We all knew it was going to happen sooner or later, but the longer they stretched this out, the longer I hoped it would have lasted. Today, Wednesday, July 21 1999, Nikolas Cassadine dumped Kathrine Bell. I'm consolling myself with ice cream, chips and old Kat/Nik scenes after a really rather disturbing final scene in today's episode. In this scene, Kathrine went from lying and on the defensive to honest to vengeful. Kathrine had just realized that she was in love with Nikolas, truly in love with him at the same moment Nikolas realized he could not put up with Kathrine any more. In one of the most badly acted lines, Nikolas confirms Kathrines greatest fear. "If this is your idea of love no wonder you're so alone." I'm truly hoping this is just a phase, a stepping stone for them to overcome. And in a way, I'm glad, I'm glad that we no longer have to see Nikolas dump his emotional baggage on Kathrine.
