ILoveTracyQ

Carla didn't have a brother, but there were two cousins, Joey and Tony. Tony dated Ally who was played by Laura Sisk Wright.

I honestly think it's probably going to just turn out to be Carla's daughter, that makes the most sense.

What doesn't make sense is why Gina would care about Tracy, unless Carla has been telling her that Tracy killed Gino. What also doesn't make sense is what "secret" Tracy has that could be related to the Soleitos. Whatever it is, it is likely totally made up by GW because nothing took place onscreen that could be held over Tracy's head. Unless AZ plants evidence to make it look like Tracy did kill Gino, but that's so stupid. If Carla or any of the other soleitos really believed Tracy did it, they would have come for her long ago.

But since we are revisiting Tracy's past, and AMC is about to end it's television run, can we get Darnell Williams to come on as Jacob?

I LOVED Tracy/Jacob. AND, if they wanted to bring on Bradley's daughter Faith(Maya's mom), she'd be about the right age to be paired with him.

Just saying.

PS I saw "The Help" last week. Good movie for anyone interested.

AND, I saw the funniest thing on the way to work this morning. There is one school to the right of my apt complex and one school to the left. So generally it's a pretty busy stretch of road. I turned to go on my way to work, and I saw the CROSSING GUARD pushing some guy's car to the convenience store on the corner (guess he ran out of gas?).

The CG had a look on his face that just cracked me up.

I suppose if there'd been kids on the corner they would've tried to help, too. LOL !

I have to admit-I am beyond curious as to what Tracy's secret is and how Gina is connected, if Gina isn't a Q.

She really can't be a Q, because Dillon would remember Tracy being pregnant. Unless there was a short time he was in boarding school when they left NEw York, but I don't think he said there was.

I wanted to say I agree with you, LauraLee, about JE acting with her eyes, and thanks Carl for posting the old article. I remember reading that back in the day.

Gina could also be the child of Pam and Gino. Pam was a former hooker, Tracy's old friend she helped get started in business. She slept with Gino on Tracy and Gino's wedding night, because Tracy didn't want to. It's possible there was a pregnancy from that.

ugggggh. I do not want Skye as Tracy's daughter. I would rather Laura and Tracy be BFF's than THAT.

Actually with SORASing, the age would be just right. They've already aged Kristina to 18 almost nineteen and the character wasn't born until when, 2001? Gina would have been born in 97, making her fourteen, so if they make her nineteen, that's still more realistic than Kristina's sudden spurt.

I don't think Gina is her daughter-but I do think it's possible that Carla, Gino's daughter, is her mother, and Carla is dead, Danny is nowhere to be found-and Tracy, either willingly or because she was forced, took on the "raising' of this girl and just sent her to boarding school. And now that the kid is of age, she's coming to get revenge on TRacy for whatever reason.

I DO think Gina and Tracy are aware of each other's existence, and that Tracy's "secret" is tied to the girl somehow. Whether or not it's like the above scenario, guess we'll find out.

I would love a long lost daughter for Tracy too, but I think Lulu (and now Gina?) kind of fills that void).

Does anyone suspect Skye is Helena and Anthony's child together? or that she belongs to one of them? And wow, it sounds like TQ was on for all of five seconds today, and this is supposed to be better than Guza?

So does anyone want to spec what it is that AZ has over Tracy? I kinda figured for them to be or look as a couple, it would be blackmail.

My guess is, Tracy stole money or something else from the Soleito family when she left town. Thing is, that doesn't make sense, because she hasn't exactly been hiding the last seven years. Why haven't they come after her before now, then?

But what else could it be? You don't think they'd rewrite history and make Gina her daughter, do you? Besides, I think Gina is for Michael, so no.

What, then?

Soapboy that's actually how I think GF will be asked back, IF she comes back. On recurring basis, when needed, as much of the older vets are now. I do not think she'll come back as contract lead or even contract supporting.

I think Laura has dried up all her use, as well. YES, there could be great scenes with her and the kids in times of trouble, but in this medium, characters come and go ALL the time. I don't think it's prudent to bring back characters full time, just for a few sentimental scenes with their families (which is why I'm kinda riding the fence on which, if any, Q's really need to come back right now.)

Every major character should have an immediate reason for being on the canvas, even if they don't have immediate story. And to an extent, minor characters should, too, if they get any airtime.

For instance, Mac, commissioner. I get his presence, but it's not like they couldn't kill him off and fill his shoes with Dante or even Lucky.

Tracy OTOH brings something special no other female brings. People try to lump her with some of the other borderline bad girls, but she doesn't really fit. She can be (and has been) so many things to different people, she defies categorization IMO. (reason #1 she should be a LEAD female-there is still so much that can be done with her).

But what place would Laura have? She has no career here(although I suppose she could buy Crimson), and except for being a sounding piece for her kids, no immediate purpose.

I am glad some seem to be liking GW, but so far he seems to be showcasing the same people, he is just taking the time to showcase OTHERS, which Guza didn't do. But just by reading recaps, I am not buying into any great change as far as the focus of the show. I think Sonny, Carly and Jason will be the "stars" until the day the show dies.

Unfortunately.

And yes, I know Tracy has been around more with GW, but we might not see her at ALL during the summer with Guza, so ZERO appearances isn't tough to beat. She has only been on about six times since TG left, right?

Well, agreed. The story potential is with Lacy more than LnL. I can't imagine LnL have much left to do together they haven't already done. With GW, a more "soapy" writer than Guza, he could do so much with Lacy. They could get meat instead of milk (although both are good).

SoapBoy I understand you wanting Laura back. I have no problem with her being back as I am not invested, but I just don't want Tracy short changed because of it.

I do think she will be back before GH ends, for Luke or not, for better or worse. As I said, just let Tracy win, or as you said, let it be her that ends it because she wants to/has someone better. I can't deal with her losing to Laura. TQ should NOT go out that way.

I just want this whole Laura issue to be resolved. Bring her back or don't already. I personally cannot abide the character and don't care for the actress, but I'm tired of the remarks.

Bring her back, reunite LnL, and the few people left that care about them can be entertained and I can ignore them like I always did before. As long as Tracy comes out ahead, I am good.

I do personally think Tracy and Luke are far more interesting and have more story to tell, but whatever. My main issue with the possibility of LnL winning out over Lacy is that DANG IT Tracy deserves to win. She's lost men to some pretty insipid women over the years, but I think Tracy losing to someone like Laura takes the cake. I can't watch that. Besides...Tracy is due a win. She deserves a man coming back to her, not because he has no choice, not because the other woman disses him-because he WANTS to.

It's past due.

There's LOTS that can be mined from Tracy/Luke still, but more importantly, all the missing years where Tracy was offscreen, pre and post mob. Honestly Guza has been mostly wasting Jane. Tracy, love her or hate her, is such a dynamic character in the sense that she has so much story potential.

I thought Helena was on the phone with Anthony at first, too....but now I think Anthony is talking to Skye.

I don't know.

I thought what Garin Wolfe said when asked about what the cryptic "Luke will have his hands full" comment meant, when asked about Tracy, he said "perhaps."

Not that I doubt Tracy won't be part of it, but she won't be all of it, either. I am not even watching right now..and I have the strangest feeling that Helena has Luke brain washed instead of Lucky this time, and that it is Luke she is talking to on the phone.

Of course that could just be me thinking what a great story that would be.

As far as GF, I don't give a rat's behind. Come back or don't come back. I won't be paying attention to her at ALL unless she gets in Tracy's face. The only problem I really have with GF being back and LuNacy staying together is that the whining over how unbelievable it was got old after the first five minutes, and I have no desire to read those kind of comments again.Oh yeah, and because just ONCE I think Tracy deserves to win. She deserves to have a man CHOOSE her, not because she's the only option, but because she's who he wants more than anyone else.

And I don't see GW changing Luke so much that people will want him with Laura, which is fine with me. I am all for a far more sober, heroic and loyal Luke over the one we've had under Guza. But I don't want boring nineties Luke. If that's what we're going to get-by all means, let the Human Potato have him.

Did NLG really tweet a pic of her scripts or something like that?

Because if so, that's.....interesting. And that's all I'll say about that.

I don't know. I guess we'll have to wait and see. I still don't think the "run for his money" is all about Tracy or Tracy/Luke.

But they are setting up the Cassa stuff according to recaps yesterday. Mind you, I pay the Cassadines no nevermind because the current ones suck, but they ARE setting up something with them. Plus, it's already been hinted that something is going on at Windemere by GW himself. PLUS, again, the rumor that GW is doing something Guza dropped.(Valentin).

Matt B might tell TIIC where to shove it if they asked him to come aboard now, and I don't blame him. But, if not Valentin, certainly some kind of threat. I vote for Victor Cassadine played by Thaao Penghlis. It would fit, and give Tracy a past with him, and you kill two birds, one stone.

I just can't see Luke ever buying Tracy having an interest in AZ for REAL.

I have no clue about cats, my dad is allergic so we never had one. I would think if it's mostly a house cat, it might be okay to declaw them. It'w when they are outside a lot, or around a lot of other cats or animals, that you might not want to declaw them. But I am only speaking from what I have read or heard.

It did occur to me that Luke getting a run for his money isn't about Tracy, but about the new Cassadine enemy (are they finally doing Valentin Cassadine?) THere was a rumor that GW would be picking up a story Guza dropped, and with the definite spoilers that a threat would be coming that even Helena was afraid of, it makes sense.

Well GW knows how to make you want to watch. I'll give him that. If GW does improve upon Lacy and make Luke work for Tracy's love, could be good.

Or protecting herself. This IS Tracy we're talking about. Perhaps AZ has "evidence" she killed Gino. That's a definite possibility, especially with the "Gina" spoiler.

I agree. Tracy protecting her family and/or ELQ is the only reason she'd willingly give AZ the time of day.

Assuming it IS AZ Luke is jealous over. Might be someone else entirely.

That's why I think that if it's true Luke is going to become jealous, AZ is going to be blackmailing her or coercing her in some other way to date him. It's the only way Tracy would be compliant and make anyone else believe anything with AZ is "real". No way would most people believe it otherwise. I think he's going to offer his protection from the Gina chick or her family, OR he's going to say he'll back off ELQ if she'll go out with him. I don't know. I just know I can't see her doing it freely and willingly.

Of course, there's always brainwashing, but that's so DUMB.

Honestly. How can they bring on a family with an almost identical name and NOT have it be the same Soleito/Soleita family?

If they did that, I would have my confirmation that GW is no more savvy than Guza. It would make zero sense.

As far as Tracy being a doormat, I've always felt Laura was a far bigger doormat in reference to Luke. Not that I will mind Tracy sticking up for herself. I'm going to enjoy that. It's about time he treated her with more respect and had to work for her affections.

I can't help but think of the deliciousness of what true oldschool snarky Tracy, and true old school Luke Spencer would be like.

I am good with Lacy breaking up for a while at least, as long as I don't have to suffer through Luke and Alexis. Luke and Skye could happen again, but Skye is just so lame.

I think JE does care very much about the fans. She's a shrewd lady, she knows w/out the fans, she'd have no job. BUT I don't think she's "in it" for the fans. She doesn't seem to be in it to stroke her own ego.

ANd yeah...I do think a lot of actors who do personal appearances, I think at least part of the reason is to boost their egos.

I can't say they don't care about the fans, I just feel the ones that have tons of PA's, it's just as much about themselves and having people adore them, as it is about pleasing the fans.

And Jane doesn't care about having her ego stroked (my opinion only based on years of interviews I've read). It isn't that she doesn't care about the viewer opinion of her

But that's my take on it, I could be totally wrong about her.

of course, Carla was pregnant at the end of The City. Perhaps it could be Gino's granddaughter. THAT makes sense, and while the timeline isn't right-that kid should be 13 going on 14, not nineteen-a little SORASng would make it right. IT would also tie in to the rumors that Ted King would come on as a different character. His character Danny was the father of the baby. And, the crime boss could be Carla. The mag didn't say MALE crime boss.

But again....coincidence, right ? Could be interesting. That kid would hate Tracy, LOL, because Carla was convinced Tracy offed Gino on purpose.It would also make the Bensonhurst stuff make sense. That's where some of Gino's relatives were from. Some of them knew Sonny and Lois.

So perhaps it IS a connection.

Not that I want more mob, but....if it is done right and gets JE something good...maybe it might be okay.
