ILoveTracyQ

*bump*

*waves...blows kisses*

Have a good rest of the weekend all !

*EEEEEE !!!!*

*picks Lainey up and spins her around.....

and smirks too since she's lurking...LOL

I have missed ALL Ya'LL posting girls !

*cough* coolkid where ARE YOU?

*sob*

Lainey I forgot about you being away....where did you go and what did you do? Remind me cause I forgot..PM me if you want to.

About the "I hate Luke with Laura" thread on SOAPNET...don't you mean Soap Opera Network that we're on? LOL

cause if so...no there's not a thread like that but you can START one.

And all last week my SZ sign on Name was "I Believe" or "StillBelievingLainey" and YOU missed it ! HA !

So there.

I'm a middle of the roader.

I want to believe. Cause I love Lacy so....or rather I love their potential.

But TIIC don't inspire much hope in me LaineyGirl.

Can I say one thing though? I don't mind *softer*Tracy...but part of the reason Luke digs her is her SPUNK.

I don't want to sacrifice SpunkifiedTracy for SofterTracy just to have Lacy.

I'd rather have SpunkifiedTracy remain in tact ALONE (or with someone else).

And about any Lacy sparks/stuff before Laura comes back...GF is going to be back 10/26/06 I believe...so those TIIC better get on the ball.

LOSERS.

No Tracy today.

Yep. They even give Luke scenes with Sonny. Scenes with his family today.

But with his wife?

Nada.Zero.Zilch.

I miss smirks, Lainey (who hasn't been around here in TWO WEEKS), kenna, angel, 4XCrazy, coolkid, ClinkBoom, and well....anyone and everyone that used to post that hasn't been around here in a good long while.

Yeah I know there's hardly any Jane. *sigh*

And it gets harder to find anything to talk about GH wise because I just don't care about anything else.......

I love you too tracyluver.

I don't have a personal problem with other characters or actors being discussed or even dissed but I don't have a problem keeping that discussion for the chatrooms if we have to.

All I care about is people respecting JE/Tracy in here....anything else in that regard to me is just unacceptable.

But IMO if someone says something bad about someone else,even if it's a character or performer I like...I don't think I'll get mad because as I said I just don't care enough about anyone else.

LOL

Isn't that sad?

But as Debbie said...maybe it's best for the most part if we keep the actor/character discussion limited to Tracy/JE...and the rest of it in the chatroom or even in PM's ?

If someone wants to blow off steam and PM me about a character or actress...they are welcome to anytime !

Sorry. Did say PMS and all. LOL

Meh. I think I'm in the minority in that I really just don't even care about any other characters or actors besides JE and most of the other Q actors/characters.

The rest I might compliment or bash if I'm in the mood...but truly I just don't care enough to bother even noticing anyone else. I'm for the most part very apathetic when it comes to anyone else....and considering some of the REALLY bad things I've read on other boards...I actually think my comments are pretty mild when it comes to GH.

Okay so the Playboy thing was mean.

And the money hungry thing was mean.

I apologize for those.

And yeah if we want to keep the talk here to just Tracy/JE and/or the rest of the Q's...that's more than okay by me.

Please feel free to correct me if I stray from that in the future.

Ms.Q I thought you said one time your sister is the peace-MAKER in your family.

It doesn't sound like it to me.

Well this is the way I see it.

You can be petty and say something like "well if KMo hadn't ever been in Playboy she might not even have a job."

Because let's be honest...show of hands...who really thinks Frons/Guza/Pratt and probably others have NOT looked at those pics?

Or you could just ignore her.

And just from the little bit I know about you......you probably ignored her.

Which is the mature sane thing to do...if she keeps doing it I myself would be unable to keep from mentioning the playboy thing at least once...I bet that'd shut her up.

Same goes for your mom BTW.

yeah I'm mean today.

It's kind of like over at SZ people are all like "Poor Genie." before Laura's scenes have even aired.

POOR GENIE MY BUTT.

The woman is basically a has been.

There. I said it. She ain't EVER accomplished anything besides Laura in her acting career.

Of course TG has never really done anything but LUke but at least he has staying power..talent, and charisma.

Look out. I'm on a roll this morning.

Anyways...if all you have to present to the world is you were on the cover of Newsweek and Time or whatever twenty five years ago..and had the biggest most watched wedding twenty five years ago...BIG.FLIPPIN.DEAL. What have you done lately?

And in Genie's case...in terms of acting? That'd be a BIG.FAT.NOTHING.

Hey I said I'm on a roll.

And she's basically a money hound. She came back for the bucks. She came back knowing what the regime was like when she left, and surely still knows what it's like through the grapevine.

So she came back and Laura was disgraced/disrespected?

CRY.ME.A.RIVER. Go spend that million or whatever they paid you...and SHUT.YOUR.PIEHOLE.

Of course this is the fans saying "poor Laura..." so far it hasn't been Genie...but something tells me since we've heard no good interviews from GF yet...that she wasn't happy. She's already finished filming..so if she were happy there'd be gushing.

No gushing...so she must not be happy.

So meh. I'm sure I'm going to have to sit through weeks or months of "poor Genie." and honestly I think I'm going to explode.

The woman did it for the MONEY. The MONEY.

She ain't got crap to complain about if she wasn't happy.

PERIOD.

*whew*

PMS ya'll. Sorry.

Jane got the higest average for the over twenty five year old females in the acting poll I did on SZ.....TG got the highest for the males....you know I'm happy about that but would it be too much to ask for some change?

LOL

And I may hang around for a few minutes if anyone wants to go in the breakroom and talk.

It's too late for me to make it home to see the GH for today on SN....so I'm not in any hurry now....still at work but putting away the work stuff.

I'll hang here for a few...if anyone would like to joing me in the breakroom just post so and we'll talk there for a minute.

Meh. I don't think Luke will see Tracy before he goes off to see Skye. That would be good for us. Therefore...blah.

And I'm sorry...but it's hard to get excited about the Q's (well Dillon) getting airtime because of faulty condoms.

I'm glad Tracy's on and I'm happy I get to see her but today sounds like a really sucky day IMO.

I miss Marco. *sniff*

I'm hoping Tracy will be on too.....the cable co can't come until Saturday but I can hook my TV and box up in my bedroom (I have never tried that cable extension so I'm assuming it'd work properly) until the living room connection can be restored.

I have had blessed silence for two weeks because of the living room connection being out (not caring enough about anything else on TV to bother with trying the bedroom connection) and it's actually been pretty peaceful. I didn't even bother the cable co to tell them about the living room connection until today.

It wasn't until last night that I really began to miss not just flipping the TV on, but I had plenty to do cleaning and laundry wise to keep me busy. LOL

Sorry for rambling...and *here's* to TQ being on today !

YAY !

*waves to Fey and everyone else.

Debbie you have Marco in your new story. Awwww...

And did anyone else check out the list I posted yesterday that CesarFaison did on SZ?

Pretty neat little list but it kind of made me sad when I realized the majority of that list had taken place years ago...in fact the only new pairing was TG's Luke.

Everyone else has come and gone except Wally Scott Stuart and John who aren't really "pairings."

I also did a "rate the actor" post yesterday...last time I did it I got more replies though and TQ/Jane came out as the #1 female and TG was the #1 male.

We'll see if she does as well this time...........

Here's to TQ on today and in the mag spoilers...........

Have a blessed day ya'll !

*hopes for TQ tomorrow*

Hopefully LoveThatTracy will be able to post with us soon.

Don't give up...LOL keep emailing the mods if you have to !

We want you to join us.

eta *waves to nex and knh*

NO Tracy so far today and no one in her circle is on so not likely she is either.

A show of hands from those surprised by this.

Anyone?

Anyone?

Bueller? Bueller?

Yeah. Me either.

Miss my girl. Really really badly. :(

Want her on.

Want her on with a SL.

Want her on with a SL where she can be the one to make someone ELSE look like a fool.

Is THAT too much to ask?

CesarFaisonposted this at SoapZone:

Just an interesting post:

http://soapzone.com/boards/read.php/gh/main/7462197

Hmmpf.

*continues to sulk*

So nobody else wants to play today huh?

Lainey. Reg. Keith. Please come play.

MinervaFan and Ms.Q won't play.

And yes.....I'm going to go into a corner and sulk.

So there.

Nawww. That's all kinds of wrong. Ms.Q coming in here and not contributing her brilliance to the story.

*hands on hips*

Hmmpf.

BTW...yeah. Same crap different day. Not a sign of Tracy but PLENTY PLENTY PLENTY of people I have no interest in seeing or hearing about.

*sigh*

EEEEE !!! No it was great tracyluver.

Heh.

And I'll add to that........

she turned to fully face the man who belonged to the set of eyes that were not-so-secretly boring into her.

As she faced the man... ....

Tracy blinked once, then twice....."Victor? Victor Cassadine? Is that you?"

Tracy knew the face. And when he moved she was sure she was right...even after almost thirty years she remembered the gestures and nuances of his body.

Yet the man looked across the room as if he hadn't even heard her, and lifted an arm to flag down the elevator. As he moved to catch it before the doors closed Tracy stood there stunned.

"Vic-" she started to call after him, then shook her head. Maybe she was mistaken.

" I guess I could call Helena up and ask her if her brother in law is in Paris," Tracy thought then snorted.

"Seeing as how we're so close and all."

Tracy turned to the hotel desk and decided the direct approach was safer.

"Can you tell me if you have a guest here by the name of Victor Cassadine?" she spoke in French.

The clerk behind the desk screwed up her face in distaste at Tracy's accent. "We have a strict policy about revealing the names of guests" the clerk responded in English as she shuffled some papers and pointedly kept her eyes on the man behind Tracy.

Tracy huffed, remembering that here she was just another guest and the name Quartermaine meant nothing.

She turned to the elevators to go up to her room.........

Regency you should get the "Solace" chapters in your email sometime today.

I reviewed your version of the "Lovely Bones" story at FF.net.

Hmm.....I wish I had some great spoilers or tidbits to share.

We could do the kind of story where one of us starts it and the next person adds on and the next person adds on and on and on......

I'll start: please keep in mind this is off the cuff free writing in which I did no research and honestly have no idea where this story is going:

Tracy's Excellent Adventure

It was during one of Luke’s numerous extended absences that Tracy got into the trouble that lead to the disaster. He had taken off for parts unknown again, and this time Tracy decided she could stay and wait like the good little wifey he had come to expect.

Or,, she could pack her bags and head to parts unknown herself.

Maybe she'd be at the mansion waiting when he got back.

And maybe she wouldn't be.

Had she known at the time she thought this just how unpredictable her safe return would be, she might have paused. But Tracy being Tracy, she kissed her father on the cheek and instructed Dillon on what needing tending to at ELQ, before taking the ELQ jet to France.

The hotel de la Jatte in Paris remembered her well and took her reservation over the phone, having a vacancy in a room overlooking the Seine. Tracy breathed out a sigh as she relaxed on the jet, thinking of shopping and sightseeing and spas and restaurants and even seeing old friends.

Anything but her errant hubby and where he might be and what he might be doing.

When Tracy arrived at the hotel...............

Okay peeps anyone want to pick this up? I'm thinking romance, adventure, intrigue. Ya know.....the stuff Tracy doesn't get on GH.

You can take as many liberties as you want.

You know my biggest fear about Lacy is that it's becoming Skuke and/or that Tracy is becoming Skye.

Of course logically I know that won't happen because you can "nice" her all you want and Tracy still has a fire and personality that Skye just doesn't have.

But still there's the threat of it because I can't imagine Tracy just sitting still for Luke's comings and goings much longer.

As far as the quote being about NLG..... .

Even Jane, my fave actress in daytime (and one of my fave actresses ever) can disappoint me with the words outta her mouth sometimes.

Of all the people she could say that about she picked NLG??

Ewww. Just ewwww. I'm disappointed. And in the interest of fairness that's all I'm going to say about that.

Deb I emailed you just those chapters of Solace that I didn't feel would piss you off *too* much...and the Tracy/Victor stuff (which is the only reason for reading it, that and the Tracy/Ned stuff. IMO).

I *really* like the Tracy/Victor relationship in this story.

I *really* would rather Tracy have a guy like this on GH....or a relationship with Luke like this...it sorta is in some ways like Lacy....in *some* ways.

Anyway Deb.....that's my opinion for what it's worth.

It *is* an unfinished story but I think you'll like the later Tracy/Victor stuff.

I hope you will, anyway.

And I tried to get into the breakroom but it doesn't like me.

AGAIN.

LOL

And Staci you know......I'd love more Tracy/Robert interactions. I like their little quasi-friendship they seemed to have started. I'd like to see more...some scenes that are actually NOT about Luke though.

Okay I'll give the other questions a whirl.

I think sometimes as far as validations I had to try two or THREE times to get in and be able to post.

So don't get discouraged if you can't. If you try a second and third time to resend your validation and it doesn't work...email the mods and let them know.

I don't know who the first person was in the 'Not GH actors' quotes but the second person speaking is Judi EVans who now plays Bonnie on Days and used to play Adrianne.

About the actor/actress that died...I *think* Jane was talking about Gerald Anthony (Marco).

The actor/actress Jane said she wished she could work with seven days a week? Tony Geary?

The actress Jane is referring to in the last quote is Lynn Herring I think.

Regency fic talk for those who haven't read it yet I'm treating it like a "spoiler"

Ya know(apologies for going on about this) I 'm still one of those who feels it was OOC for Tracy to have the abortion. Sure the kid at that point in her life would have been an inconveniece...but Tracy in her darkest moments has considered Ned and Dillon both inconveniences.

She had Ned at a very young age (eighteen or so?) and Dillon was unplanned.

She was not prepared or equipped or "enthusiastic" ..about the prospect of raising either one. She grew up in boarding schools and tucked in by nannies as a child most likely..and thought nothing of doing the same to Ned...although at least Dillon she dragged around with her instead of shipping him off. My point is that she would have automatically done the same with the second aborted child and at that point in her life thought nothing of it. She also...inconvenieces or not...loves both her boys FIERCELY, and would likely give up her life in a heartbeat for either one (and likely would have loved the second child with the same ferocity). So it just doesn't ring true for me.

BUT this being GH...our girl had the abortion just as our girl has done other things I thought were out of character. It's as much a part of her history now as the heart pills incident. Sooo..with that in my mind, I have to say that I LOVED the way Regency reunited Tracy with her child in the story. You know I have my days when I'm hormonal (less and less as I get older) and some things that break others simply don't bother me.

I was teary at different parts during the story (strangely dry at the Lila/Tracy moments) but the only time I truly lost it so far has been: the mother/child reunion with Tracy and her little girl...."mama"...oh I blubbered like a baby all over my papers on my desk. Seriously.

And....when Georgie died. And strangely too when Morgan died and Tracy held him. I didn't expect that at all.

But I *loved*, simply *loved* Tracy/Luke.

I have my issues with that man...boy do I ever. And truthfully outside of Lacy I don't find Luke to be all that. I definitely don't get the allure of the character by himself or with Laura. But my girl loves him...and even though Guza and Co suck for treating both JE/Tracy like a smelly afterthought....they will go down in my book with a gold star for being the ones that paired them.

And wow I'm rambling...but Regency I hope there's more to your story. Will all the Q's reunite around the table?

*sniff* I'm getting teary just thinking about it.

Fic spoiler talk over

SD spoiler talk:

I figure if Jane stays they'll go back to Lacy/Skuke...in what capacity I don't know...but I would *love* for the tables to be turned and a mysterious man to come and attempt to sweep Tracy off her feet if Jane stays.

If Jane leaves...what happens will be irrevelant to me unless they recast Tracy.

I doubt I'll mind a recast because Tracy to me is still Tracy and if she becomes unrecognizable I think it'll be mostly due to the writing but I'll probably still watch till the character leaves for good.

I'll miss Jane horribly...but I'm not going to say no to a recast. I think the actress who temporarily replaced Jane when her adoptive daughter was born...Christine Jones..did a great job at imitating Jane's nuances and yet bringing a spark all her own to the character.

Although truthfully if Jane leaves I don't see TIIC recasting Tracy. I could be wrong though.

I *want* Jane to stick around another year or two...but I don't know if I can take her being wasted another year or two..and there lies my quandry.

I *do* think Lacy's future may be up in the air...depending more on Genie and if she does recurring visits more than RC/Skye...because if I'm not mistaken when she re-signed she also re-signed only for one year(which means it's about to run out). I also think that Skye isn't a threat to Lacy. I think Luke is sexually attracted to Skye but I don't think he ever loved her and I think now with her about to have a young child? The chances of Luke being anything more than a protector to this child(possibly a GodFather?) and Skye are slim to none.

If Genie does do the recurring thing we might as well get used to Lacy stalling during those periods.

If she doesn't, and Jane stays...*crosses fingers toes and every other appendage* that Lacy will progress and grow.

SD rumor talk over

*hugs* to all.....I'm likely out of here until tomorrow or even Monday my friends......

Actually, I'd like that clip Ms. Q requested, too, if anyone's got it. I didn't know about that scene and I'd love to see it. I guess when I stopped watching my first year at school I missed a lot!

Do you mean the clip *I* requested with Helena/Luke/Tracy aboard the HS last year?

Yeah you clip peeps out there. Help us out. I taped that(or rather my mom taped that for me) but her VCR messed up and I missed the whole Tracy kicks the gun out of Helena's hand before Helena can shoot Luke in the head thing.

*prays for someone who has the clips to come forward*

I hope you're feeling better Regency..

Awesome story. I knew who the girl was before you said it but still...that was one of my favorite parts.

I'm assuming there's more to it with the way the second part ended?

OT-Sorry for not being around much today. Had some more computer problems, called Dell Support, ran a bunch of tests, and still nothing. It's working for now, but I am seriously afraid to use it, although it's not like I can lose any files, you know? They're all already gone. *shrugs*

Despite my fear, I've looked up some things, so we can play another game.

Who Said it?

Other actors on Jane Elliot

"She's a formidable actress. You have to be on top of your game with Jane because otherwise, she's going to bust you for being less than you should be."

"I've love to trade barbs with Jane Elliot. She's a force to be reckoned with."

When asked to describe Jane Elliot in on word, this actor/actress said, "Funny."

"I love Jane Elliot. She's so funny."

"When those two [Jane and Tony] work together…it is the hardest thing in the world not to crack up. I've been in scenes with them where I'm standing there about to pee in my pants. I want to laugh so hard, but you can't. They just take it like it's nothing, and I'm like, 'Oh my god. This is the funniest thing I've ever seen.'"

"I respect Jane Elliot so much and find that I learn so much from her as a person as well as an actor."

"…they brought back Jane Elliot. I loved to tangle with her."

When asked who he/she always wanted to work with but never had the chance, this person said, "Jane Elliot would be one of them."

"I've been able to work with Jane Elliot (Tracy). She's such a feisty character and she's so strong with her presence and her voice."

"She's my neighbor and a really good friend. It's really great to have Jane back in my life…"

"She makes me laugh. She makes me think. She makes me see and appreciate myself."

About whom?

Jane Elliot on other actors

"Our friendship is a great boon to my life. He/she's a kind, gentle, spiritual, perceptive human being, and you can never have too many of those in your life."

"I love working with him/her. [We] have known either other since we were teenagers in New York."

"He/she takes serious risks. That's what makes him/her so great. He/she is willing to put himself/herself out on a limb and find out what doesn't work."

"I like [their] work very much. I enjoy working with them and was extremely proud of the way they kept up with me and Tony."

"…He/she was just captivating. He/she was just so…present and so in the moment."

"He/she seems to be really, really good."

"Fiercely loyal would describe him/her. Willing to go to any length available to prevent the people he/she loves from feeling scared, lonely, or broke."

Don't have the exact quote for the following…

JE said this person is a joy, and that she loves working with him/her.

JE said this person could hold his/her own and that were good thing to come with him/her.

END OF GAME

While searching for quotes, LOL, I found this:

JE speaks on Sam's role in the Dead Man's Hand SL:

Jane Elliot, who plays Tracy says, "It's hideous. Sam is the little truck driver, this little toughie who socks people. She tries to have a physical fight with Tracy." But we know how tough Tracy is!

Also ran into this: Deidre Hall gets help from GH Star (in regards to playing Hattie…)

Hall did her homework. "I went to my friend Jane Elliot (Tracy, General Hospital), who is a brilliant actress, and I gave her some Hattie tapes," relates Hall. "I said, 'I have to be her next week.' Jane said, 'Okay. I'd like you not to watch the tapes. Let me see them and then we'll get into it.' I booked her for an acting class, a directing class."

After viewing the tapes, Elliot pronounced that it would be "an adjustment," albeit an easy one. "I won't tell you what it is, because that's an actor's private information," demurs Hall. "But there were several adjustments I made that made it very easy. Then I ran it with Jane."

Speaking of Hall, anyone know where the quote is of DH, I believe, referring to Jane Elliot as the most brilliant on Daytime, and then she had some other things to add. I've come across several things, but it's mainly Electra Woman/Dyna Girl stuff.

Anyway, whew. Long post, LOL. Here's hoping for Tracy next week!

nex is right...the first is TG.

The second...Rick H?

The third...LL?

The fourth is ALW

The fifth one is Lindze L

The next...LL?

The next...John Ingle?

The next...Kim Mc?

The next...Natalia L?

The neighbor one...that'd be Wally K.

The next...Deidre Hall

About WHOM:

I know most of these but I'll wait to see what someone else guesses. LOL

And I'm off to read Regency's fic.

I don't know if any of you have read this, but Tracy's (Jane Elliot's) return to GH made Jack Myers' Best of Broadcast in 2003 list in MediaVillage.com. Not only did she make it, but at #8, her return topped shows such as "Joan of Arcadia," "Alias," "Angel," and "The O.C."

8. Jane Elliot's Return to "General Hospital." For reasons known only to ABC Daytime, this showpiece soap opera that once revolved around the lives of doctors and police officers has been allowed to degenerate into a quagmire of violent, misogynistic, anti-climactic stories about tempertantrum-tossing, murderous mobsters and the self-centered sluts who adore them. But just a few weeks ago, in a move of atypical brilliance, the show's producers returned the much-missed character of Tracy Quartermaine to their canvas, and "General Hospital" suddenly became vital again, at least some of the time. Jane Elliot's mercurial performance as Tracy hasn't lost any of the emotional complexity that won her an Emmy for this role more than 20 years ago. And here's a lesson for bamboozled daytime executives who are constantly trying to figure out how to attract young viewers to their soaps: The return of the fifty-something Elliot to "General Hospital" prompted a boost in the show's 18-49 ratings.

I love our girl. I also love when she gets mainstream recognition.

ETA: From the depths of Google.com, we find.....

A synopsis of A Flame in the Wind, Jane's first television gig back in the 1950s.

A recount of actress Leigh Taylor-Young's encounter with 20 year old Jane when they were both struggling actresses in NYC. (Doesn't paint JE in too good a light, but hey, we're archiving history here.)

Never knew about the Best of Broadcast. Too bad TIIC don't take notice of such things unless it's an actor/character THEY want to pimp.

Yes ladies and gents....JE took the ratings from like a 3.0 to 3.6 the week she came back....then people realized the show and her return "story" were crap and stopped tuning in.

I'll never understand why TIIC continue to only pimp about half a dozen characters and no others...especially when it's obvious those actors/characters don't do jack crap to help the ratings.

LoveThatTracy are you the same one from SOC that I PM'd? If so please join us. If not join us ANYWAY...LOL.

We'd love to have ONE MORE Tracy/JE lover in here gushing about our fave.

It's *normally* very peaceful and fun in this thread.

Don't let recent posts put you off. Please.

Hmm...about Leigh Taylor young.

Now I'm not going to say that I dare think Jane E is a perfect person or that she doesn't have bad qualities.

SHe I'm sure has mood swings,suffers or has suffered from PMS...jealousy,feelings of superiority, etc etc etc...all those things the rest of us human beings have felt.

But reading that....it seems that's just LTY's opinion. Unless Jane came out and said she didn't want the competition..and I doubt she did, that's just LTY's opinion, or Jane's "friend's" opinion.

Going by Jane in interviews only..she's very savvy, and she probably wanted to meet LTY before she recommended her, to make sure she wasn't recommending a no-talent wannabe.

After all....your own reputation is at stake if you recommend another person for, well, anything.

And that would be my main guess as to why Jane wanted to meet her.

I don't think it had much to do with competition.

If jane were that petty, she just would have said NO..without meeting or knowing her.

Secondly...after meeting her, LTY assumes Jane decided she was no competition. AGain...she could have just not recommended her for whatever reason. Jane obviously saw something in her. Because again JE's own reputation would be at stake if she did so.

Meh. It sounds like crap to me. And that's all I'm going to say about that.

The Jane I've read in interviews isn't that petty or small minded.
