ILoveTracyQ

I was just over at soapzone and saw some sid previews. There is an announcement that there is a new female character coming on who is the only daughter of a NY mob boss and her name is GINA SOLEITA.

Weird. I mean, I doubt GH remembers that Tracy's old husband was named Gino Soleito, do they?

Not that I think they'd make this Tracy's kid-she and Gino never made love, and even if they had, Gino had Carla, so this new chick wouldn't be his only daughter.

Strange though, isn't it?

Perhaps she is a Soleito cousin and changed the spelling of her name, and Anthony/Tracy both know her. Perhaps this is their something in common.

The new character is supposed to be around sometime in September.

I have to say, just reading recaps, and what he is planning to do with the show...I don't see monumental changes. But I will wait and see.

*waves to funny*

You know Remos you could be right. He may be around just long enough to think Tracy has moved on. I don't really see Luke turning tail and leaving, though.

Perhaps the spumor that he is working with Helena somehow is true? GW really will make him darker than ever if this is happening.

I know, right? I can't even picture it now. NOW, it couldn't come across as anything other than inappropriate and incestual.

I will never forget one of GV/JE's first scenes. The way JE called him "OFFICER Spencer".

Yeah, she was checking him out. Definitely. It's the little things, ya know? LMBO

Tracy and Paul were so stinking awesome. HAWT. Then, I'm biased because I think JE (in spite of the fact that Tracy is supposed to be a kind of ice queen)has it with almost any man she's in a scene with. Even those who are not age appropriate-GV's Lucky *cough*

So she should be on this week?

I don't think hooked was meaning Ned is coming back. He's at days of our lives. I have no idea if he's treated better there, but I don't think he has any intentions of leaving.

I have a thought: could AZ already have partial control of ELQ and this is what they have in common?

For instance, could Asher have already tricked Tracy into signing something over to AZ?

It seems early on for him to play his hand, but....I don't know. I think there's a double meaning there.

I want to see what GW does with this, if the Q's are involved but Tracy isn't, since Tracy is the only Q still on contract unless you count Michael.

Which I guess we have to now, since he is working at ELQ and snarking with Tracy. But otherwise, it's just Monica and Edward.

Wow, so quiet in here, no post in a day and a half. Anyone have any spoilers? I guess we won't see Tracy until next week.

When does the "fall preview" stuff usually get spoiled? I'd love to know GW's future plans for the Q's.

GAH. All this goodness makes me more inclined to try and catch up somehow and watch. Oldschool Tracy is better than coffee toffee ice cream with whipped cream on top.

Sorry, I am craving Ben and Jerry's.

Anyhoo....I am VERY intrigued by Anthony/Tracy. Mainly just because JE gets to mix it up with an adult male who isn't Luke.

I'm all a-tingle. Really.

I'm sure AZ knows she used to be Tracy Soleito, that might be their thing "in common".

Hooked, what are the spoilers for AZ/Tracy the week of the 25th? SHARE !

I'm just glad to see JE getting to mix it up, finally. I do like her closeness with the Spencer kids, but mama needs to have a life of her OWN for a change.

ETA I guess that's part of the reason he brings Skye back, maybe to interfere again with Trayc and Luke?

UGH.

Ha ha I meant yo type pursues her not pushes her! Sorry!

Tracy jogging g today and runs into papa z on docks and he hits on her

I truly wonder if it's leading somewhere, though. If Guza were still around, we might be saying that it was Jane's token appearance for the month, and I don't think we'd hear anymore of it. It IS still Guza's original stuff, with GW tweaking it.

But, will GW do anything with it other than a few cute quips on the docks? Guess we'll have to wait and see.

I agree, for the most part. I think Tracy delights in scheming and delights in men who scheme (don't know about "evil", unless you consider Mitch or Gino evil, she's never been with one yet that I would call that). BUT she always has a line (before Guza, anyway) that she will not cross. She'll scheme, she'll lie, she'll cheat, but she won't randomly just kill or destroy people or their lives. Tracy's worst actions have always stemmed out of hurt, out of getting "revenge". The people she targets are generally people she feels have wronged her in some profound way.Most of the time, anyway.

All the more reason why a guy like Stefan, who IMO is her male equal, should be her new man. Not even saying again, that it would be a permanent thing. I think, if they re-invent/tweak Lacy, they are good for the long haul.

But Tracy is long overdue for a man who is a real challenge, to come on board. Luke will know AZ is no threat, and will treat it accordingly. But Luke or no Luke, Tracy needs to be WOOED, old school style.

She needs to be made to feel special by SOMEONE. Give her a new man, or give Luke back some of that romanticism, without taking away the sting that makes him who he is now. I do NOT want Luke of the 80s back. I do think a nice compromise of cynic and romantic can be reached in him.

I'd like to see it.

Stefan would offer a different challenge as well.

I know SN would probably not come back to GH, but Stefan could be recast.

I really don't think I have any interest in AZ/Tracy other than as enemies/comic relief. I don't want her using him to make Luke jealous, that is infantile and stupid. But I am very intrigued in the possibility that AZ may have his hands in ELQ.

THAT I could get into. Michael and Tracy teaming up to bring AZ down? BRING IT, I would love it.

What, he pushes her physically? That's weird. And him bringing Skye back? WHY? Very strange, unless she's working for him.

What Tracy needs next is a Mr.Darcy type. I don't even care if it's long or short term, but it should be real and not just to make Luke jealous. The thing is, when I immediately thought this, my next thought was that the only character who has been on GH that even comes close to a Mr.Darcy type is Stefan Cassadine.

I used to want Tracy/Stefan SO BAD ! Way before Tracy/Luke, I wanted them.

I am not the least bit pleased that this would mean TRacy getting another one of Laura's seconds, or a man possibly still obsessed with Laura.

BUT I think they would be awesome. Maybe not as a long term thing, but maybe they would be true love, who knows.

I just know that I need some guy who is apparently more snooty and uppity than Tracy has ever been, who looks down on the Q's, who insults Tracy and her family in the worst way, but they are constantly thrown together in circumstances beyond their control, and slowly come to love one another.

That just screams Stefan, or a Stefan type, to me. And Tracy NEEDS to be wooed (pardon the outdated expression).

Luke won't do it, not the way she deserves.

Again, not saying it would last forever, but she deserves it once, before the show goes down. She deserves to get a man that other ladies jockey in position to try and get. She deserves to be envied for the man in her life, not laughed at or pitied.

More than that, she deserves a man who will tell Edward or anyone else in her family, where to get off when they are mean to her.

I would take Thaao Penghlis as Victor Cassadine in place of Stefan, FYI.

I think Asher is a plant, too. I think he is playing AZ and Tracy, to see what will benefit him most. It will end up with AZ controlling ELQ through Asher, who is influencing Tracy. Or could end up that way.

Let me guess. Mich-UL will find out and save the day. As long as it DOESN'T end that way, I'm good, it could be worthwhile.

I'm just pysched at the probability of Anthony/Tracy scenes.

Skye coming back is more of an indication that someone in the Q's might be ill, but she wouldn't come back for Tracy.

If they do make one of them ill, and it's Edward, it would be beyond stupid not to kill him off.

I guess RC will be recurring, but get ready for the Lacy haters to go on and on about how smokin hot Luke and Skye are.

They are nothing if not predictable.

Re Edward: it might if it were his "dying" story. I can't see Tracy being sick generating anything either, TBH. It didn't the last time, although we got good TraLu bonding out of it-but no story.

I'd rather see her healthy and mixing it up. Luke coming back because she's ill is kind of pathetic. I'd rather he come back because Lulu is hurt or missing-which will be the story, I think-than him only coming back because Tracy is ill.

I'd rather Tracy be healthy and give it to him with both barrels. That's far more interesting to me.

As far as Alan coming back, I thought I heard/read he would be appearing to someone in a dream. Since Monica is coming back, that someone could be anyone. Monica, Edward, or Michael, just as much as Tracy. He isn't necessarily going to be Ghost Alan, so it doesn't matter. Even if it is Ghost Alan, no reason he can't appear to someone else. He appeared to Monica once as well as Tracy.

I think if the rumor is true, it's Edward, not Tracy.

I hope you are right, Ms.Q. At any rate, I hope GW is going to make Tracy shrewd in this.

Remos, I am glad you enjoy Ethina. I personally just can't like Kristina, because I find no positive traits in her, at all. The actress does not have the depth(yet) to give Kristina the layers and nuances she needs when her actions are so ridiculously awful. And, if I can't like Kristina, no way can I get into a couple with her in it.

I don't know if Ethan telling her she's a spoiled brat is them "beginning", though. And.....there's always GW's take on it. He may go an entirely different direction with them, with Lacy, with everyone.

I'm all for that. I'd be more afraid things WON'T change. We will see.

Huh. Perhaps things like some punk kid manipulating Tracy are what GW meant when he said the women are going to get their cojones back.

Sort of related to the ASher/ELQ thing:

I had this old SL bouncing around in my head back when SC was still Dillon, that I can modify now: what if some stranger were to come to town claiming to be Dillon with amnesia (he has had plastic surgery after some accident, of course) and the Q's welcome him home. HE takes a strange interest in ELQ and this character and Tracy grow closer. Tracy is a little suspicious but so desperate to have Dillon back that she believes in this person. The audience knows this character is a Helena plant and not really Dillon at all. Dillon either really is dead or is being held captive by Helena, and the imposter is there to wrest control of ELQ. I would so love to see something like that happen.

I could never be indifferent about Larry. HN has the same larger than life screen presence that JE has. You sit up and take notice immediately when he appears. Or at least, I always did.

Besides, he and Tracy were far too hot-and never even kissed, never had to-to be indifferent about. For me,anyway.

Of course, the men are few and far between that I think JE doesn't have that kind of chemistry with.

If the spoiler is correct about AZ/Tracy (we've been hearing it as a possibility for years), and it's more than comic relief or a plot point, it should be interesting. I can't see Tracy willingly wanting much to do with him at all, especially not romantically, but from a financial standpoint, I can see it. Perhaps the guy at ELQ that Michael is supposed to be rivals with, is a plant of AZ's?

So, why don't you want Larry back? Can you elaborate? I'll tell you why I wouldn't mind him being a distraction for Tracy-although that's truly not the main reason I want him back. I can buy him as coming between Lacy, because I know Tracy had real, and probably still has, real feelings for him on some level.

I can't buy Tracy/AZ as anything more than comic relief because she knows who and what he is. Now, if he sent her things anonymously, I can see her liking the attention, but again, I don't think she'd just be willing to fall at anyone's feet who couldn't be man enough to approach her in person.

So no, unless Helena brainwashes her(now THAT would be fun), no I can't even see them getting past him flirting with her.

Not much competition for Luke in that. Even Tracy/ETHAN would have more of a chance of starting something up than Tracy/AZ.

I have a feeling the Tracy/AZ won't be romantic at all. He might flirt, but there is something else behind it. It is too "random" not to have another meaning.

Larry doesn't have to be dead. Him being on canvas does not have to romantically interfere with Lacy, but if it does, that just makes for interesting story. I just would love to see the character pop in. He is the kind of character that could fit in almost anywhere.

He could be there for Ned or Brooke, or be the catalyst in an adventure story. I'd love to see that dream story come true, where Helena or someone has trapped Larry and Brook and Tracy somewhere and Luke is coming to rescue them.

Hugo Napier was criminally underused and probably would be this time, too, but it'd be great to get to see Larry again before GH goes *POOF*.

Happy Birthday, Remos !

I am intrigued by Tracy/AZ. I wonder what Garin Wolfe will do with Tracy. He said he's a fan of Doug Marland, so will he do old school Tracy with old school Luke? Could be very interesting. Any bets on whether he is taking them in a new direction or breaking them up for good?

I do miss old, snarky, scheming Tracy, but there's no reason why some of the growth she's had the last few years can't stay with her. Wouldn't make much sense if it didn't.

Somehow...I think oldschool Luke and Tracy would be far more interesting. Maybe not as "fun", but definitely more complex to watch.

I guess the comments mean JE will soon be on recurring, not that it'll make much difference. We might even see her more, when she has a SL.

Now, if TIIC would find a way to bring in Larry Ashton for a little while.

For me, it isn't even "did they or didn't they" that turns me off about the prostitute and Luke. It's that after six years of being together, we shouldn't even have to be faced with this. We shouldn't have to decipher it. It should be clear if he did or didn't. And if he did, it should be a deal breaker for Lacy. I mean, Tracy Q's men have always cheated, but she's always put on her battle gear if and when they did.

I suppose with GW, maybe her reaction will be different if she finds out he did. With Guza, she'd just take him back.

I couldn't handle that. To me, no woman should have to put up with that. And Tracy Q would never take this and just accept it with a shrug.

That's my issue with the prostitute. Sex or no sex, it's borderline insulting to Tracy as a woman and wife.

That's my take on it.

Happy early Birthday, Remos. I am looking forward to our three day weekend. I don't know if we'll have fireworks around here, I believe we still have a burn ban in effect. Will be nice to sleep late Monday, though.

I honestly always felt it seemed as if RC was just bored playing Skye on GH. I know I was certainly bored BY her.

Different strokes, I guess. She is friends with JFP, so if she's available, I can see her coming back.

I think all these supposed comebacks are way premature, though.
