Dianne Wiest was in the Law & Order episode that Jane Elliott was in today. It was funny to see them on the same show just a short time after I read your post. Can we add Kate Mulgrew to your dream cast? I love/miss her... would love to see her back on tv again (especially with that cast!) Oh.. and can I just say, the previews were the best part of GH today! I must have rewound Tracy's "Oh my God" about 15 times. Hilarious!

What I want to see happen with Tracy and what I think will happen are two extremely different things. Here are my hopes: Luke comes back in August to encounter a frosty and angry Tracy. At first he thinks it's 'same old Tracy,' but then he realizes the zip and zing and fun are completely gone from the relationship. That's when he realizes that she loved him, and he truly hurt her when he left. And he also realizes, 'hey that old relationship we had was really fun and it was working, and why the #$*&(#@! did I mess it up?' He tries to woo her with this great seduction scene on the Haunted Star, but she basically tells him he's a rat and a whimp, and she doesn't trust him enough to ever be involved with him. And oh-- by the way-- she tells him if he were a real man, he would realize what a creep he was, and how he hurt her and that he should divorce her and leave the 15-million. He gives her one of those fabulous 'I am wounded' Luke looks and leaves to go back to real-world vacation land. End of Luke until September. When he comes back (shortly before the return of Laura), he hands her the divorce papers and tells her he wants her back, and realizes that this time he's going to have to earn it. She likes the sound of that on many different levels.. and decides to play along. But hey, guess what, after a week or two of over the top wooing by Luke.. they end up in bed (you know one of those over the top scenes GH likes to do every so often.. like the one they did with Carly & Jax the other day --- Barf!!! Gack!!!). At the end of it, he tells her that they are two of a kind, and that they both bring out the best and worst in each other and that is why he loves her. Yes, he uses the "L" word for the very first time. Despite our girl's best intentions, she can't keep her heart encased in steel. She uses the "L" word too. They begin to do what you think they would do at this point, and camera pans up to a blurry blonde figure who is watching all of this from outside the window. End of episode (oh guess what -- it's a Friday). On Monday, we learn that Laura is out of her catatonic state and has bolted the psych-ward. From the very beginning of this re-emergence Luke is wary. He has history with Laura, and he thinks he owes her.. so he starts to nurture her, and he gets sucked back into the relationship. But from the beginning, he realizes he is motivated by guilt and history, not romantic present-day love. Laura is his "Angel" (remember the episode with Sonny?); Tracy is his spicy, zingy "Devil." And hey, our 50-something Luke knows who he is, and what he is (and he ain't no angel), and what he wants. He wants the zingy, independent, sassy Devil.. not the needy Angel. So, after six weeks of nuture and angst with Laura, he breaks it off and tells her his life is with Tracy. This amazes everyone in town including Tracy, who had already started to harden her shell, and move on. Whew... I'll stop now.. But those are the highlights of my hopes and dreams as far as Tracy is concerned.

Hello all, I have been lurking for so long... figured it was time to dive in. I may be in the minority here, but I was really disappointed by today. To me it was the beginning of JE/TQ flying solo for a while.. and that was sad to me. I knew TG/Luke was leaving for the summer, but I kept hoping for some sort of hot, sizzling connection between Luke and Tracy before he went riding off into the sunset. Instead, we got this little kiss (that was full of 'oh so much promise'), and now we have to wait an entire summer before Mr. Man comes back into town dragging his tail between his legs.. and then we have to HOPE and PRAY the powers that be manage to stick the two of them together before they're ripped apart in October for the return of 1981's Super Couple of The Year. Oy..... Or maybe I'm wrong.. tell me I'm wrong. Tell me that TG/Luke isn't really gone until fall (A girl can hope, can't she?)
