MagicHappens

Hello Fellow Lunacy fans!

I am just running in here quickly to tell you that I haven't fallen off the face of the earth!

Started a new job in Manhattan now so I have had zero time to read any boards, or even watch any of GH this week.

I am going to try to FF my way through last week's eppys tomorrow morning, stopping only for LuNacy or Scott. I tell myself this alot but never seem to have any time.

Miss you all!

Thanks for the clips, Hooked!

And the banner Ms Q!

I finally watched the show. Also disappointed that the hell stuff was so over the top.

The writers suck and always have.

IMO, Tony, Jane, & Kin probably improvise most of their scenes and this time they had to stick to the dreck as written.

But on the positive side, at least our faves are getting story.

Not to be argumentative, but doesn't anybody remember that Scott saved Luke's life when he had the heart attack?

I can't believe the writers didn't at least have Scott say something about that when Tracy went off on him.

Kind of hoping that Bobbie reaching out to Scott might mean a rekindling of their relationship.

Would like to see them get married - making Scott & Luke Brothers-In-Law.

AND Fathers-In-Law if L&L3 doesn't get derailed by Johnny Boy (who I think of as Sonny-the-moody-mobster-redux).

Scott & Tracy would be interesting, but I love my LuNacy more.

........So I guess that means I haven't got the Trotts.

Thanks for the good wishes and postive energy, everyone.

After 8 1/2 years of going to the same place and seeing the same friends every day, being home on Monday is gonna take a lot of getting used to.

Going to lay low thru the holidays and live off my severance package & unemployment.

Then I'll try to figure out what's next in 2008.

On the plus side, I'll have more time to watch the show and come here to discuss it. Maybe I'll follow Ms Q's lead and try to watch an entire show when Tracy or Scott are on. I liked the Thanksgiving show - but then again, I just remembered that I cheated and FF-ed Carly.

magichappens...are you glad tracy is kissing scotty in luke's dream of hell??? Ah the good ole days from 1990--ha ha! Probably the last kiss scott had on GH was with dominique huh? Maybe Lucy? Can't remember!

Wow, this is the first time I've had a chance to get here in days. And I'm way behind on watching the show.

My company announced it's going bankrupt yesterday! And on Kin's birthday!

So as of today I am out of work. I'm pretty much in shock. So goes life in the mortgage business in today's market.

Anyway, back to the Unreal World, which I can sure use a dose of today. I loved the promo and I can't wait. I don't think Scott has kissed anyone on GH in many years. Dare I say it was Laura during the Endgame days?

Found a new Tracy fan thread if anyone wants to post:

http://www.soaps.com/generalhospital/board/44173/1/

Here's some new scoops for the week from Carol Banks Webber at SoapZone - we knew the LuNacy ones already:

Luke clutches at his chest a second time. It’s round 2.

Robin manages to bring Luke back to the land of the living.

Luke goes through critical surgery. When he’s out, Tracy’s by his side to tend to him through Thanksgiving Day, at times a thankless task.

Robin and Patrick move on with their lives, as just friends.

Patrick checks in on Leyla before she is taken to her operation.

Nikolas asks that Lesley continue to be Spencer’s guardian for the duration.

Skye relays the terrible message about Emily to Edward.

Edward wants to kill Nikolas.

To buck up Monica, Skye brings Lila Rae for a visit.

Sonny would like nothing more than for Trevor to receive his just punishment.

Ric and Alexis mend fences, aware of each other as better than mortal enemies.

Carly, Bobbie, Jax and Mike give Michael and Morgan a normal, loving Thanksgiving Day, grateful for being alive. Carly thinks about Emily, how hard Jason and Nikolas are taking this loss, and how close she came to biting it, and feels truly thankful.

Thanksgiving is hell for the Quartermaines and Nikolas.

Maxie asks Cooper to be with her on Thanksgiving. Georgie does the same with Spinelli. It will be Georgie’s last holiday.

Scott surprises Logan with ingredients for a proper Thanksgiving meal.

Together, Scott and Logan prepare their meal for eating, while getting to know one another. Logan uses this bonding moment to not be neurotic about Lulu’s whereabouts.

Speak of the devil! Lulu arrives to express her gratitude to Logan for saving her bacon up at Wyndemere.

When Lulu goes to leave Scott and Logan alone, Scott takes the hint and goes instead, so the young ones can spend Thanksgiving together.

Lulu and Logan botch the job of finishing Thanksgiving dinner, so they order takeout. They also avoid talking about their downer of a past relationship, to focus on the positives.

November 22nd will air Luke and Laura’s re-marriage from last November. November 23rd will not air soaps at all, just football.

So many posts to catch up on! Just wanted to add that IMO the reason Scott is MIA and Logan was acting "wierd" about breaking Emily's death is that we are supposed to suspect them as the strangler. Along with Johnny & Cooper, who are also unaccunted for and in shirtsleeves.

Sounds awesome! Thanks!

Hmmm.

Not sure how I felt about today.

I found myself wanting more. MORE!!!

Why'd she say that widow thing twice!?! What?!?!?! The writers go on strike early at GH or something!?!?!

There was so much potential today... they let it slip through their fingers.

Come on TIIC, step it up. STEP IT UP!!!!!

I think they film a lot of scenes and don't use them all, or don't use all of the scene, so that's why they may use a line twice. I remember it happened once before, but I don't remember the specific line.

Thanks for the spoilers, Hooked.

Thanksgiving: I suppose it would be too much to ask for a 10 second scene of Scott bringing Logan to meet Serena, Gail, & Lee.

Happy Birthday, KNH!

Found this for you:

The eight Broadway productions still running are “Cymbeline,” “Mary Poppins,” “Mauritius,” “Pygmalion,” “The Ritz,” “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee,” “Xanadu” and “Young Frankenstein.”

Don't forget that Off Broadway shows are still running, too.

Just a fast reply to say I loved Friday's show.

JE & TG were fantastic; loved that he didn't say all this after the heart attack; and the fact that Luke didn't stop when Scott came back shows he really has put Laura in the past, IMO.

Some spoilers from CWB at SoapZone. Nothing realy new, just a little more detailed.

( Tracy walks in on the dangerous premises but takes a tumble down a flight of stairs.

Luke takes care of Tracy, while a storm rages outside. They’re not alone, though, because they’re trapped with Scott. Strange, compelling bedfellows.

Luke says wonderful, honest, loving things to Tracy, things he wouldn’t normally say under any other circumstance.

Next week:

… Luke and Anthony Zacchara meet up in one room. But before things can get truly hairy, Luke goes down – but not at Zacchara’s hands… )

I was thinking maybe we could put up a temporary LoveFest thread on the SOC boards. There are a lot of Tracy fans over there. I like this board, but maybe just until the server problems are fixed or as a backup if it goes down for a few days.

I leave it up to you guys.

OK, I have more gifts in the way of spoilers, and I still can't white them out because I don't have a color option. I don't know how to black them out, sorry.

Spoilers

Luke tries to keep everyone calm.

Alfred startles Tracy who takes a tumble down the stairs,

unnoticed, until Luke and Scott come upon her. (Me: maybe she does show up today and got there before they closed the harbor, falls doen the stairs and isn't discovered until the 9th?)

Anthony leaves Luke to die from his faulty ticker.

Logan and Scott find and move him to a bedroom.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Now here's an interesting rumor Shirley has up in Rumorville:

We are hearing that Nikolas' condition may have ties with a

much older storyline...Laura's, and perhaps a few others as well. Both stories

have direct ties with pharmacueticals as the cause. According to one source,

this will eventually be discovered at some point after Scott and Robin make

a deal involving her research.

The usual warning to take this with a grain of salt applies.

(Me: Shirley has had a spoiler for down the road about a benefactor funding pharmacuetical research since right before Kin came back. So maybe Scott will fund Robin's research out of guilt for killing Rick Webber? That could be why they suddenly made him the killer. Thought I could mention that here because a Laura return would serioulsy put a crimp in our LuNacy. My hope would be that she would kick both Luke & Scott to the curb and go on with her life. My second hope would be IF Luke has to go back to her so as not to upset her, and Tracy & Scott would team up to end L&L once and for all.)

Just found some more spoilers on the SoapZone message board - can't vouch for the accuracy.

Again, apoloogies for not being able to white these out:

( 11/9 Tracy and Luke grow closer than ever.

Luke confronts Anthony Zacchara.

Luke suffers a heart attack. )

No date for this one, but it's in the week of 11/5:

( Luke and Scott, along with Tracy, are stuck with each other. )

Nobody has details yet? Argh. I think Tracy told Luke she had once slept with Scott!

ETA: Found this scene on GHH2: Sounds amazing - can't wait to watch: ( Luke asks Tracy what deal she cut w/ Scott. she says u've been gone along time. alot has happened. he syas u didn't sleep w/ him did u. she lafs and says no, never again. he says again. she says long time ago, not in bed w/ him in any form. he says that's a relief. thinks deal was setup. she tells him about being in Shadybrook. thx for checking up on me. she syas she figured out how to work he dad to get out of there. dug up dirt on Scott. has a son. Luke syas that dog. he has a little boy. not so little. u remember Logan Hayes. he syas kid that hung out at Kelly's. he realizes that Logan is Scott's son and Lu is into him. she says sorry but Lu is infatuated w/ his son. he screams no, takes a drink, then says I need a drink. screams no again )

I just lost a huge post by clicking something! Knocked me out of the whole site.

I agree with Lainey's interpretation. I think Ramon was her masseuse from her single days. Then she switched to the one Alice said just got deported. Earlier in the show, she was depressed, telling Alan that Luke was probably gone for good. So I think she was ready for some fun with Ramon. I like that she isn't sitting around like a fool waiting for him to come back while he's off with Laura. And I'm glad Luke saw that was the case. Of course, she could have recognized Luke's walk, hands, or aftershave and been putting him on.

As always, I love Scott & Tracy's interactions, especially when they are trying to out-scheme each other. And even after she whomps him, the conversation continues. Loved when he said "What's wrong with you??", meaning "Why'd you slap me?" and she responded, "I hurt my back!" LMAO!

OT a little: Isn't it getting ridiculous that Scott and Logan get slapped or punched several times a week? It kind of makes physical violence anti-climactic when it's done all the time. I've noticed this since I started watching again - and it happens to many characters - Lulu, Maxie, etc. A bitch slap used to be an "oh no she didn't!" moment. On this show it's as common as saying good morning.

Also from her News section:

Alan is not Port Charles’ friendly, neighborhood ghost; he is Tracy’s conscience, and as such, he may very well spread out and comfort other loved ones he left behind when he died. This baffling sneak preview, as well as two others, was provided by head writer Bob Guza Jr. in Soap Opera Digest’s October 9th issue, under “GH’s Burning Questions.” Apparently Tracy’s conscience, in the form of the deceased Alan, will take on more qualities of Alan, and then may go off searching for Jason, Emily and Monica to “haunt.”

ME: OK, now that makes a little more sense. I couldn't understand what Guza meant by Alan not being a ghost, but yet he will be haunting people. If "Alan" haunting people is really Tracy's concscience, then she has to be in all those scenes, right?

ETA: Check out the Tracy Love going on in this thread on SC!

From SoapZone's Scoops & Spoilers:

Previews for the week of 08-Oct-2007

by Carol Banks Weber

Lulu browbeats Logan publicly at Kelly’s Diner, with Spinelli and others as witnesses.

Tracy brokers a deal with Logan. She’ll reward him financially if he’ll ease up on and befriend Scott long enough to get the goods. Then, she can use the goods against Scott to let up on fugitive Luke, paving the way back.

Scott successfully brokers a deal with Lulu, to aid his newly confirmed son Logan’s romantic happiness. Scott promises Lulu he will forgive Luke’s (latest) crimes, and then restore guardianship back to Nikolas, provided she go back to Logan.

Lulu will do anything for her parents’ happiness, but she’s also hoping to work things out with Logan anyway. So she tells Logan about her deal with Scott and her wish to try again.

Logan reels with distaste, not willing at first to be Scott’s pity project.

Lulu runs into Johnny, which then causes her to return to Logan for some closure.

As distasteful as it is to have his father (Scott) force Lulu back to him, Logan allows himself to be persuaded by Lulu that it’s also good for them, outside the deal.

Luke comes back from his summer vacation, and receives a disturbing update on his daughter’s love life. Normally he doesn’t care what Lulu does, until Scott’s name pops up.

Luke rakes Tracy over the coals for letting Logan slip through the cracks.

Tracy defends herself to Luke, considering the circumstances, hey, you were the one who split town dude!

Luke reappears on the landscape, to give Logan what-for. He stops just short of dictating his daughter’s dates. Yet, the thought of Lulu’s current flame being a chip off the ole Scott doesn’t help Logan’s case in Luke’s eyes.

Lulu turns a deaf ear to Luke, thanking him for his input, but mind his own business please.

Luke engages in an altercation with Scott, upon his return. He’s yelling at Scott for orchestrating Logan and Lulu’s hook-up via Laura.

Scott yells back at Luke, reminding him that Lulu does whatever she wants, and she chose Logan all on her own.

Luke tries to brainstorm with Tracy on a means of preventing Lulu from going near Logan anymore.

Tracy, however, informs Luke that the damage is done.

Happy Birthday to TL!

and heartfelt condolences to ILTQ on the loss of your friend.

I loved the Scott & Logan scenes, but I really miss Scott & Tracy interacting.

They make the show pop for me.

Got the Tracy at Carly's show on the DVR and haven't watched it yet.

LMAO, Ms Q!

Wish you were a writer on GH!

Okay...nobody has posted at all today since I posted last night! I need to get a life--ha ha.

So I finally watched Thursday and Friday's episodes (TL--now we can "talk"). I dont' know if I am just so happy to see TQ or not, but I liked them all. Even Tracy saying the line about luke divorcing her didn't bother me as Alan was telling her to use Luke as her ace in the hole. Like I said though, any TQ is better than no TQ to me. It was total Q madness with edward changing his mind and wanting lulu to run out with logan if it meant Luke not coming back to his house. It was actually amusing to me. I know it shouldn't be, but again, some Q craziness is better than no Q craziness to me!

I do think that Monica should have said something about Scott "doing" Tracy when Lulu was all "Alan did your wife?" to Scott. That would have been funny and stirred up the pot a bit!

I am going shopping today with my friend and her foreign exchange student from Brazil to buy her a birthday present! Should be fun. I don't get to go shopping for girls EVER!!!

Can someone email me who knows how to post a clip from a dvd or what software you would use to do that? I am determined to learn how to do that cause I have all these dvds of 1991 GH that I could post some Tracy clips from.

Hope to be around tonight if anyone is around.

Edit

Lady A you around for a few????? I am opening the breakroom up just in case!!!

I'm starting to think they are saving a Tracy/Scott past reveal for when Luke comes back. I doubt he knows about it - he & Laura were out of Port Charles at that time (I think - so was I).

I agree with what some of you have noticed: Scott & Tracy are looking pretty chummy. I think I mentioned this before when Luke was around, that Tracy gets friendlier to Scott when not in Luke's presence. But they have a definite look as if they are very comfortable with each other. It could be Kin & Jane doing it, to acknowledge their characters' familiarity in the past.

They even looked like a tag-team yesterday (or Thurs). When Tracy moved forward to make a point to Lulu, Scott even put his hand on her back, sort of pushing her into the fray.

Just read a Rumor on WUBS that ( Leslie is the one who dies, and that brings Luke back. )

Also, if they ever decide to revive Laura, I could see Scott & Tracy teaming up again to break them up. That's how they got together the first time, to break up Alan & Lucy.

Thanks for the excellent recap, Collete!

PS: I would say that Tracy is only "teaming up" with Scott to get him to admit/realize that Logan is his son and then to get Scott to keep Logan away from Lulu.

Ms Q, we posted at the same time. Thanks for the extra info. The Susan Moore reference was hilarious. I wonder if it's a precursor to somebody telling Lulu & Logan (and most of the audience) that Scott & Tracy were once a couple, too. Of course, I am hoping that little bit of info comes out when Luke is back. I'm assuming he doesn't know, but maybe he does.

Wow - I'm awake!

Tracy & Scott - hooray!!!!

I can finally watch an episode in real time instead of FF-ing like I have been for the past 2 weeks.

Thanks for the recaps, Ladies.

April 12: MagicHappens (hasn't been around recently)

Thanks for remembering me, Ms Q.

There just hasn't been much to keep me interested in GH lately - namely, very little Tracy or Scott. They are barely on once a week.

Also wondering how they will deal with the spoiler that MF found, assuming it's true. That involves criminal activity, and Scotty's out for blood from both Luke and Tracy.

Interesting spoiler mention about Scott being out for blood. I saw one saying he will try to cheat the results of the DNA test with Logan. Which of course, RealScott, who is a great father wouldn't do - only GuzaScott would. Could it mean he tries to swap his own blood sample with Luke's to make L&L3 think they are siblings?
