‘The Blacklist’ season 2 spoilers: Boss on Liz / Ressler possibilities
Everyone loves to “ship” multiple characters being together on their favorite shows, so should you really be that surprised at all that there are already a legion of people interested in Liz and Ressler being together on “The Blacklist”?
Depending on what happens with Tom, this is something that we could really see being explored at some point in the future. She and Ressler work together, he seems to be a good guy, and after everything that she has been through, we imagine her developing some sort of keen interest in a guy that she knows for sure that she can trust.
In speaking about this possibility in a new TV Guide interview, creator Jon Bokenkamp does not necessarily rule out such a possibility. Then again, he also does not say for sure that it will happen:
“I see her as somebody who has just gone through this horrible relationship and betrayal and I would expect her to respond to that in her own life … Whether that’s a rebound or finding somebody else or going off on her own, she’s got some soul searching to do. Who is she? She’s at a place now where Liz has to confront that.”
We ultimately have a hard time still thinking that we have seen the last of Tom Keen, mostly because we’ve known this guy for such a long time now and Ryan Eggold is a big part of the show. Seeing his potential reaction to Liz being with another man could be interesting, especially since it would force him to reveal his true feelings for a change.

I would love to see ”Keenler” happen! Maybe not right away, but one day ;)

I love Ressler. I think he and Liz would make a great couple. I think it will take some time for them to get to that point, though. Obviously their relationship would have to grow and in the meantime we need some background info on both of them. We don’t know much about Ressler except he’s hunted Red for years and he was engaged to Audrey. Why did he hunt Red so relentlessly and hate him so much? For that matter we don’t know a lot about Liz either. I want to know more about how she learned the slight of hand with the cards. The writers need to expand all the characters. I want more background on Red and Cooper’s relationship too. I really, really want to see Ressler and Liz have less tragedy this season. Those characters deserve to laugh some.

No, I don’t want to see Liz with Ressler. I want to find out whether Red is her father and if not, he loves her for some reason. What is it?

Ressler is dull, dull, dull. The actor playing him is exactly the same in every role he plays. If the producers go down the Liz/Ressler route it will show a serious lack of imagination. The actors also have no screen chemistry together.
