Romance & Trouble Ahead!

Adventure leads to chaos for Lucky, Liz, Emily and Nikolas!
    It looks like Emily's blackmailer may have the upper-hand when Lucky and Nikolas run into brick walls -- and each other -- trying to help her.  In the estranged brothers' quest to find out who's behind phony naked photos of Emily, they will travel to New York City and be forced to break the law.  But instead of uncovering the truth, they may just get themselves thrown in jail!    The blackmailer -- who doctored photos of Emily, putting her head on a naked body -- is demanding $100,000.  Lucky gets a hot lead when he finds another nude photo on the Internet with the identical body.  Lucky's research shows that this model's name is Maggie Christian and she works out of a New York City modeling agency.
    Emily, Lucky, Nikolas and Liz take off on their adventure on October 7. When the modeling agency fails to help them locate Maggie, the foursome resort to illegal measures to find her own their own.  They stumble upon some damning info, but will they be able to find Maggie?  And if so, will she provide them witht he answers they need?  Was she a blackmail victim as well?  Or is she part of the extortion plot?
    Beyond helping Emily, the group's investigation creates a new girl-power bond between Liz and Emily, and furthers the growing romance between Lucky and Liz. "If Lucky wanted to go pick berries in the field, she would be right there by his side," says Herbst.  "She feels he saved her life.  He has been her crutch and life-support system these past eight months, and she wouldn't have been able to get through the rape incident without him.  This will make them closer; it makes them bond and its just another step in their relationship."
    "I think it will prove how well they can work together for a common goal," says Jonathan Jackson (Lucky).  "But I think their romance is sidelined while they try to accomplish something together."
    Let's not forget Emily's feelings for Nikolas. "I think that she has a major, major crush on him," says Amber Tamblyn (Emily).  "It's to the point where she says things that are kind of irrelevant and dumb.  Her crush on him comes from him being the mature person that he is.  He's very trustworthy and a good friend... and all those qualities bring out the love in Emily."
    So while Liz and Lucky may grow from this experience together, don't expect the same for Emily and Nikolas.  "I think Nikolas sees Emily as a little sister and a friend," realizes Tamblyn.  "I don't think he's ever really looked at her in the romantic sense, and I don't think that even this will bring them together.  I doubt that will happen and this will probably be another blow to Emily."
    Regardless of the outcome of Emily's blackmail, the Manhattan project will most assuredly change the way brothers Lucky and Nikolas view each other -- and in a larger sense, alter the ongoing feud between the Spencers and the Cassadines.
    "I think Lucky wishes Nikolas didn't have anything to do with it and wishes he didn't have anything to do with his life," suggests Jackson.  "But I'm sure there's a part of him that enjoys getting his blood pumping and getting into fights with Nikolas."
    "Elizabeth is excited that Lucky and Nikolas are growing closer and wishes they could be better friends," says Herbst, whose character is usually playing mediator for those around her.  "Elizabeth is always trying to repair all the relationships with Lucky and his brother, Lucky and his father and mother."
    "For me, it would have to take something pretty big to change Lucky's view of Nikolas," says the actor.  "It's just pretty much shot between them."
