Watching the Soapnet marathon with the MIL. Haven't seen the show in months, but Mama looks nice. I'm so glad her hair is growing out. And that white blouse from Wednesday's show is really, really nice.

Miss you guys--life is kinda crazy right now. Hope you are all doing well. I'm still checking email, if you need to get in touch with me.

Hey, ya'll--quickly weighing in on the AU story.

1. Hated the wig and Jackie Zeman looked sooo very very bad. (Yet another testimonial to Growing Old Gracefully, guys....)

2. Totally illogical progressions--the only excuse I can find was that it was...um, dream logic?

3. Even the actors looked unconvinced.

4. I am absolutely sure Jane Elliot spent the day at home, in sweats, recaulking her bathroom and thanking the gods she didn't have to participate in that fiasco.

5. If I hear another word about Campbells, Prego, or freakin' V8 VFusion, I'm going to barf. Okay, VFusion is actually kind of good, but really guys--at least OLTL does their obligatory propping in a subtle way.

Not a lot of time, but I'm with Lainey on the subject of TQ's freakin' hair! OMG, woman, why do you let them do that to you? I know it's easier to manage, but wow it don't look good.

Watched Thurs/Friday eps on Soapnet's marathon yesterday. I don't remember much, because I watched it through a haze of mucous and sinus medication, but for some reason I have an overwhelming desire to purchase Campbell's products....lots of them....

All right...This might be unpopular, but Jane Elliot did not nail those passing out scenes. From the photos of Tracy in the hospital, I wasn't sure she would (I don't think she knows how to play sick very well). But, anyway... I know she was having trouble breathing, and honestly, I don't know what that feels like or looks like, but her expressions/noises as she was going down were laughable to me.

Once she was down, I was okay with the short squeals, and I was okay with her being out of breath in the beginning. That all sounded fine... But that middle portion just made me shake my head (and laugh)... My mom said it reminded her of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vFVnTMwt3w IMO, it would have been better for Tracy to collapse quietly, like Kate or Claudia. If she is in and out of it tomorrow, I hope she does a better job. I mean, I love her as actress still, and I know not everyone's perfect, but what I saw today was just "No."

Way late, because I haven't seen most of this week yet (thanks, Nex, for clips! downloading as we speak), but I have to disagree with ya here, Stace. I frackin' loved Mama's collapse. I hate nansypansy actressy collapses. People don't collapse pretty. They collapse with odd noises and weird facial expressions. I love Jane's fearlessness as an actress, and I love how realistic (instead of soap opera-y) it seemed. Maybe I'll think different after watching the clips again, but it in first run it was awesome. (I also loved how tiny she looked when Patrick caught her, because I am pathetic that way).

I will be off work on Monday and Tuesday for personal time. Does anybody know if the show will be pre-empted due to the Inaugural events?

OMG..check out this clip from OLTL today--Dorian is under the table giving "monk" David a you know what....GH doesn't even allow the young ones to do open mouth kisses, let alone give older actors even a FTB love scene..damn I might be switching to OLTL...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07wq8JDLQaE...feature=channel

I stayed home sick yesterday, and happened to wake up from my 17 hour doze to see this. Yeah, OLTL has some cahunas. I can't imagine GH letting a "hot, young" couple do something like that, much less Alan and Monica...or Luke and Tracy.

LisaQ, love that video! And the song is fantastic!!

MF, what is this.. THREE days in a row?!?! Fan me --- I might faint. GREAT to have you here. Keep comin' back, will ya?!? We're fun.. really. Probably THE funnest on the web. Definitely the most opinionated AND the smartest soap fans you'll find anywhere. Really!

I'll be in the chat room for a very short time, if anyone's interested....

ETA: I finally finished "Oh, Baby!" Yay, MsQ! That was just awesome. Such a sweet, wonderful ending to a sweet, wonderful epic!

1/15 - show starts off with the montage. It is almost 7:00 PM. After the montage we go back 9 hours. The rest of 1/15 is 10-11 AM

1/16- 11-12

1/19 - 12-1

1/21 - 1-2

1/22 - 2-3

1/23 - 3-4

1/26 - 4-5

1/27 - 5-6

1/28 - 6-7. At the end of the show we see the same montage we saw on 1/15.

Is anybody else besides me tired of this End-as-Beginning motif? I haven't seen the preview yet, but I keep thinking of that stupid MetroCourt explosion thing last spring. Ugh--I was so sick of it by the end of the month.

I'm assuming Mama Bear has some good scenes coming up? I may be reduced to watching via clips, as catching the Sunday marathons is more problematic these days....

Subtle!?!?!

I haven't done subtle since I was six!

SOOOO good to see you here.

Stop by more often. We still love and worship you, even though you left us.

You and subtle aren't even on a first-name basis. It's probably why you love Tracy so much!

I miss you guys a lot--I just haven't had a lot of time online lately.

Kiss should have been more passionate. I don't see them as the tender type. They're more about pushing, pulling, grabbing and taking.

That's what I love about you, Lainey. Always with the subtleties.

Still haven't seen the episode--Fey picked last night to have a good book she wanted to read, so I'll have to wait for clips or for Sunday's marathon on SN.

I am so rude. I come in here, beg clips, and leave! Well, I'll be on for a little while--if anyone is interested in a chat.

ETA: I'm in the old Break room (in case there's a new Break Room) at http://pub13.bravenet.com/chat/show.php/1049349012

Dear wonderful fantastic lovefestical people.....would someone be willing to email me links to the clips for the following days:

Luke fakes a heart attack.

Luke & Tracy NYE (yay!)

Friday

Today

I managed to miss all of last week (but I'm NOT missing today's darnit). The spoilers look yummy.

I'm so glad you guys are on top of things.

I like your new banner Remos! Good job Ms. Q!!!

Do banners work with moving avis?

HOOKED! I fracking love your avatar.

Just wanted to pop in and let you guys know I FINALLY saw Tuesday's episode. Mama and Papa were SOOO nummy. I finally got my NYE episode. Dances around with joy! Anybody wanna email me with the url for clips (pwease)? I can't check this thread very often, and stoopid SON gave up sending email updates forever ago.

Anyway, I just wanted to pop in, wish you all a happy new year, and squee some more about the LuNacy scenes from Tuesday!

Minervafan--was that fanfic in the bunch that were sent in with the drawing of jane?

No. I think it was written afterwards. Thanks for the clips.

I've got thirty seconds before lunch is over, but I had to say AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! Last night was so funny! And, just like Tracy's abortion,

I predicted the plane crash as well via fanfic.

Suh-WEET!

Would someone be an angel and send me a list of download links for the last few days of Luke/Tracy? I saw most of it, but missed some.

You guys are the bestest fanatics in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD!

This is a picture from the foodnetwork Chef Jeff series that is on tonight on the food network at 10pm I believe. They were cooking for the cast of GH..

I think that is Jane at the first table with her back to us in the yellow. I am going to try to watch it just in case...

Hooked, I was just coming on to tell people this--I was going to watch The Chef Jeff Project anyway, then I saw this picture on the Spinelli LJ community:

Yay! I know what I'm doing at 10 pm tonight.

Oh, and I'm doing okay. Not spending a lot of time online these days--jury duty and work-related stuff. Other than that, I think of you guys often and hope you're all doing well.

Oooh..it looks so different here.......

Saw The Loveliness the other day, with Nik and Scotty Baldwin. Not liking the hair.

Anything interesting happening? Email still works, if you guys miss me.

Hi gang. Just popping in to check out--writer's block is hell. Fey is on the phone with a psychic friend of ours, getting her cards read. I have nothing at all important to write. Just wanted to say Hey.

Hey.

Hey, gang--thanks for the birthday wishes. I've been playing on the Luke and Tracy blog fairly frequently, but not doing much else. (Okay, watching the show almost every day now.)

I get the feeling that the whole "Luke and Tracy fought" thing is a cover....

I finally saw Tuesday's episode! Love the swizzle sticks. And the dancing. And the...wow, you look good, Mama Bear attitude he had.

I also love Alexis, who is so funny and kewl and sexy again, now that she's not saddled with Ric.

Started to write the DiLexis thing, Lainey, but got sidetracked by computer issues. Sorry I missed you this weekend.

Re: Kate/Diane/Alexis: I'm thinking girls night out?

Listened to the Leeza Gibbons interview. Wow, Tony sounds so tired, doesn't he? Like he is just over this, but his storyline with Jane just breathed new life into the show for him. Very interesting comments on the L&L phenomenon. Oh, and JE's story about buying her textbooks? LOL. Come to think of it, I think she was on the local school board.....!

Seriously, guys, though. Loving the L&T Adventure Blog. You guys are so damned creative! What fun, what fun!

OMG. QT, thank you so much for this!

MinervaFan, go listen to her voice. I didn't tell you about the leather, but I'm telling you about this. It's rough and rumbly. Her "real" voice is sexier than her Tracy voice.

So going there. Really. THe window is loading as we speak.

Oh, and MUCH MUCH MUCH love for the Luke and Tracy blog. Can you guess which posts were mine?

And I have to agree with you on Diane. I didn't see it before, but it's just smacking me in the face now. While I think

she and Alexis SEriOUSLY need to have hot lesbian monkey sex on a regular basis (extra points for a mad lesbian mush-up with Kate)

, she and Max are too cute for words.

Fey will not let me rest until I write DiLexis fic. Maybe over the long weekend, if I can get enough computer time.

Okay.. Wasn't gonna even watch today.

Figured I was done until June 3...

but I had it on in my office and OH. MY. GOD. -- Max and Diane were so flippin' cute!

He asked her to go away with him this weekend. How adorable was that?

CH's facial expressions are ALMOST as good as JE's... almost.

Saw that, too! I'm absolutely LOVING on Diane these days, and she and Max are adorable. Pleasepleasepleaseplease let them show those two at the cabin! I would pay money to see Diane trying to bait a hook.

Went over to the Excellent Adventure--looks good, guys. I will definitely try to participate.
