I'm new here and have literally spent two days reading every page in this thread, glad to see so much Liara love around here! 
Really looking forward to seeing where they take the romance storyline with her and Shepard in ME3. I'm sure Bioware will do it justice and create a satisfying conclusion for the fans, especially for those who have been with her since the beginning!
It's always nice to see a fellow Liara fan 
Welcome!
Indeed we all expect big things from Bioware in ME3, we were promissed "something special" for all those who stayed loyal to Liara. And I don't know about everyone else, but I had a little something in mind. 
*snip*
At this point I'd be happy if Shepard and Liara both survived ME3. An interview with Jennifer Hale seemed to indicate things aren't going to end well for Ashley/Kaidan (whomever is alive). This particular part was about the VS but if something can happen to them in ME3 then something can also happen to Liara. I only hope it's avoidable.
For those interested:
Mynameisdanza wrote down a part of the interview with Jennifer Hale concerning her voice acting for ME3:
"The new scene involved a tense exchange between Shepard and A/K. The first line of dialogue was simple enough: "Let her/him go." But Hale had to say it multiple times, with different emphases, in order to communicate every possible state of alarm with which Shepard would react to A/K. Hale did her customary four takes of "Let her go," which she followed with four takes of "Let him go." Two were growly, hateful takes, and two were hard, urgent takes. As she finished, Hale flexed as if to indicate a deepening transformation into Shepard. She was then told that her lines had to be recorded as though she were running.
"I have a question," Hale said. "It's pretty emotional for Shepard here. How big do you want it?" (Mac) Walters explained that he wanted Shepard to seem more of "a real character" in this game, a character who showed "his frailty." At Walters's use of the masculine pronoun for Shepard, Hale smiled. "I want Shepard's vulnerability to come out," Walters went on, "even though not every player will choose to experience it."
"Is Shepard sick of fighting?" Hale asked. Walters winced in slight equivocation. When recording with Mark Meer, they had tried to communicate a war-weary Shepard he said. "But we got feedback that the male Shepard sounded whiny."
"Hale went through the "Let her/him go" process again, recording five takes this time.
"I'll take Five as the keeper," Livingstone said. "And Four as a backup. Hale's next line was "No!" Livingstone turned to Walters and asked, "Is this a panicked 'No' or an angry 'No'?"
"It's a"-Walters hesitated-"futile 'No'." Hale nodded. "No!" she said, stirringly, a moment later.
"More compassion," Livingstone said. "Less heightened." Hale tried again, and her "No!" seemed to emerge from some alarmed, half-strangled place in her throat."

This part is obviously about Ashley/Kaidan but it did a good job in making me worry for Liara's survival in ME3...
