Yes that's what i meant. It seems to me GH is now more open for pre-taping luke stuff so he will not be missing that long. When SB or LW go on vacation you never know because they do pre-tape. I hope GH will do it with Tony too. It sucks that Brook will not live with the Qs, but it was expected. Edward and Monica are not involved in anything. I would like to know what kind of contract LC signed last year, maybe one with 20 working days a year. It's a shame.

Thanks hook and remos! Just watched Tuesday and it really lookes like they make Claire a suspect for a babynapping. Looking forward to it. I hope the Qs, Tracy & Luke, Helena and Shirley are involved. As for TG's vacey, I believe he will stick around longer but will be back like every year. He just had some weeks off and with the new taping schedule it's really easy to pre-tape. So I think and hope we have some more Luke this summer.

Can anyone tell me about the Hospital lock-down thing? It sounds interesting. When will it happen? what else do we know? Thanks!

I was a little bit disappointed with today's episode. Everything seemed so rushed and the scenes were all very short. We did not learn anything about Skye even so she was on the HS the whole episode, while other people had enough time to drive through the whole town and back or got served and appeared in court on the same episode. Time seem to fly for everyone but for Luke/Skye. Looking forward to tomorrow.

I loved today's episode! Tracy's scenes with the Qs were great, we need more of that. Glad to have Skye back, I hope she stays VERY long. Can't wait for the fireworks tomorrow between Skye and her Aunt Tracy Everytime I see CT as Helena, I'm delighted. She is such a joy. I wished Helena and Tracy would share a scene together. So today was the beginning, we got the mansion and all the Qs left, I hope it continues.

Tracy's scenes at GH were great today, I like it when she has some interaction with other people. TC and JE work well together. Looking forward to tomorrow.

I could not care less about pairings. I watch soaps for the stories and for family interaction. Pairings are a part of it, but it really is not that important. Just look at Lulu. Finding the "right one" for her took them what, 4 years and how many boyfriends? ABC should also stop listening to the focus groups. The writers should write something and stick with it. The whole finding the right pairing for a certain character/actor is a waste of time many times. What I also don't like is the aganda's every fanbase has today, you can tell by reading a post what's going on. Jasam fans trash RH and Liz, Jiz fans trash KM and Sam and so on. But this happens here too with Genie I guess Anyway, as long as the writing is good i don't care who Luke is with. And I am a L&L fan since I was a child but I love Lunacy and i want them together too. So either way I'm happy. The actress who plays Maya looks too tall for JJ, so I don't see this happening. With GV it would be different, but Guza would not bring on a character for GV's Lucky. Which is a whole other chapter of what's wrong with GH today....

I liked Drew, it's the character of Michael that sucks. The new actor lookes like Jax jr. to me: lol

Good thing that Tracy was on today, will watch later. I believe she will have one or two more episodes before next Wednesday. With Luke on at least in 4 episodes Tracy must be there, he needs her in between the scenes with Sonny

Thanks for the Medianet pics. I do have to say that I'm a little bit disappointed that all the Q stuff is happening at the HS and not at the mansion. I was looking forward to see the foyer again with Alice and Monica around. It's okay that Alice is not there but where the heck is Monica? I hope she is not left out completely. Let's see how Guza will rebuild the Qs if he is not even willing to show the mansion or Monica. On the other hand I'm really happy with GH in the last weeks. Tracy and Luke have lots of screen time, Helena is back. And with three Qs coming to town the future looks pretty good. I'm so looking forward to see Tracy with her granddaughter. That will be funny!

Thanks Hooke, that are good news. Yes I am kind of surprised how many screen time Ed had this summer. Can you tell me when the Qs were on in August, I lost track.

I have not watched since late June. And I don't know if I will watch the July/August episodes at all. Right know I rather watch Days, old episodes that is from 1993,94 and onwards. But to be honest I miss GH and could use a little Q action.

With all the Stavros/doppelgänger talk, do we know if Robert Kelker-Kelly will return to GH?

So will we see the Qs tomorow with Rebecca moving in and Tracy missing Luke? Does anyone know? And I hope Helena stays even she has Luke now.

That means Holly stays longer than the end of next week. Good news! Another thing that the Insiders got wrong.

^With Tracy on 11 days in a row we are very close to break a record. She was on 14 days in a row in February 2004 during the PC Hotel Fire. but even if the record is not broken Tracy had much more quality time this time around during the fire she was just a member of a group with a few lines every day. I believe she will have 14 or 15 episodes this month and with Luke staying June could be good too. Right now I enjoy GH very much. I really the Michael story which includes the Qs.

I believe Luke will stay well into June, if he would leave sooner we would have heard something in the Coming & Going section from the magazines. I hope Tracy will be on today too

Amber Tamblin WAS Emily. Natalia, as nice as she seems, was/is not. But i must admit that I would love it if Rebecca is really Emily.

Next week: 5 days Luke and at least 3 with Tracy (SoapOperaNetwork.com) -- "General Hospital" VCR Alerts for the Week of May 11, 2009. GENERAL HOSPITAL: VCR ALERTS Monday: Michael is in dire straits. Spinelli promises Maxie he'll come through for her. Luke is certain Tracy knows more than she's saying. Tuesday: Ric reminds Claudia that her fate rides on whether Michael lives or dies. Luke shares his suspicions about Tracy with Ethan. Maxie fears she'll end up losing her job after all. Wednesday: Patrick has distressing news for Carly. Luke and Ethan set out to rescue Holly. Spinelli uncovers the truth about Kate. Thursday: Carly refuses to give up on Michael. Someone is keeping their eye on Luke, Ethan and Tracy. Ric backs Claudia into a corner. Friday: Carly collapses in Jax's arms. Jason confronts Claudia with the truth about Michaels' shooting. Luke is surprised by a visit from Holly.

GH is so stupid. How can they bring back Holly and only put her in scenes with two or three people. No wonder GH is in the rating toilet.

Tracy/Jane had 33 episodes (6, 10, 6, 11) this year so far, which means she is up 6 from last year. I'm sure she has 8 to 10 episodes in May. How June, July, August and September will be is unpredictable, but it looks quite good because we know that Tracy will most likely be involved with Ethan, Rebecca, Lulu and Michael. Last year JE was off for 2 complete weeks in July, almost 4 weeks in August/early September, 2 weeks in the second half of September then she had one episode and was off for another 2 weeks. So I guess Jane was on vacation the 4 weeks in August. The other weeks she was just not used, but not an vacation. It will be interesting to see how this summer will be. With TG not having a that long vacation ( if we can believe these insiders) it looks good. I hope TG is back on our screens in September and not mid-October like the past few years. I don't believe Tracy will disappear when Holly returns, because Tracy was on Luke's side for month ( or if not with him she had airtime without him - hospital crises) so why would that change now?

OMG, that would suck. Why would Guza write out Tracy for the time Holly is there? The potential is HUGE with Holly/Tracy. Has someone seen the ratings for last week? Oh my, GH is in trouble. I hope Guza is gone soon, but I don't see that happening, because I hope for that for years now and nothing ever happened.

Thank you hooke! Now let's hope for another great Tracy/Luke week, but it does look very promising.

Thanks for posting! What happened to the dish message board? Is there a new one? It seems we get Luke/Tracy next week on Tue, We and Th. Looking forward to it.

Well if TG only taped scenes that will air till early June then it was not that much pre-taping as I thought it would be.
