Ms. Quartermaine

MinervaFan, here is the screencap. As for the "JE can't do drama" thing, it's just one person. ILoveTracyQ had an encounter with him/her in another thread as well. In fact, this person even got us mixed up, LOL, although considering the topic, I could understand. By the way, ILoveTracyQ, it's the Spoiler/Emma Samms Thread. About the "Best Actress in 2006..." I love RC and JE both and figure their numbers aren't high just because GH doesn't give them decent material on a consistent basis. According to SoapZone, Edward and Skye are on. Come on Tracy. Time to show up. She's been mentioned though...something pertaining to ELQ. SZ needs to get some recaps up or something because the LP isn't being specific enough, LOL. Edit #1: Per SZ...Jason tells Edward about Justus's death. Edward: "I wish it had been you instead of Justus." Is it wrong that I also wish that? LOL. Edit #2: Skye reaches out to Edward. Um, yeah...Not that I expect Tracy to be all "Ohh, Daddy, this is a terrible loss..." but uh, can someone please tell her that Justus is dead, or is she going to find out offscreen? *glares at TPTB* Edit #3: Edward is giving some speech...Skye/Jason are the other Q's in the room. So, where are the rest of them? *sigh* I give up. I do. I think I spend too much time obsessing over one character's (Tracy's, of course!) screentime. Someone tell me I'm not insane. SPOILER _ _ _ _ WTH?!? Luke questions Sonny's happiness this week as he recalls his own life changes. First of all, WHERE is this coming from? And second of all, WHY doesn't Luke's wife get to interact with other people?

*waves to Bella, Keith, kenna, and nex* Who brought the popcorn? Party tonight! *inhales* I'm so glad you decided to post, Bella! (can I shorten BellaSorcerer to that?) I hope I didn't pressure you too much into joining the JE/Tracy luuuurve. It's great to have you here! And we'll get along just fine. Alexis and Skye are my 2 other favorite females as well (even though I'm not too interested in their SLs at the moment) *runs away from ILoveTracyQ* She's not a big fan of those characters. That's all right though. I still love her! Oh, and I'm not a fan of Carly, Sam, or Emily either. And yes, Tracy fanfic is hard to come by, but MinervaFan writes the best stuff ever, doesn't she? Anyway, feel free to continue posting here! *exhales* Edit: Page 86! Bring on the breadmaker! LOL.

LOL ILoveTracyQ. The mods keep things civil for the most part, and there are a lot of posters that I LOVE, so I'll still continue to go there. Plus, the opinions are so diverse, and that's good I guess...even if I don't agree...cough, Jane Elliot can't do drama, cough Re: JE's screentime...Sporadic indeed. *sigh* SPOILER DISCUSSION _ _ _ _ _ Yeah, pregnancy doesn't work with being "slammed" into motherhood. I thought about that too, but then SZ and SD convinced me otherwise, LOL. Luke is supposed to find out in the fall though, and unless Lulu tells him, "Hey, Dad! I slept with your step-son," I'm still thinking GH might make her pregnant. As for Helena...Well, Luke is supposed to warn Lulu about her, and why bother with such a scene if GH isn't going to go anywhere with it, right? So I guess her being kidnapped is likely. Heh. Courtney redux. Kidnap the pregnant girl. MinervaFan, it's all the more reason for Luke/Tracy to get together. TPTB like twisted stuff, LOL. Oh, and I believe the original spumor was "After Edward lets Tracy have it, she breaks down and admits her faults to Luke," so it's a bit different than Edward just going off on her.

SPOILER _ _ _ _ _ Lulu is so getting pregnant, and Tracy is so playing Mommy. Conflicted feelings on this, but per SoapZone...Lulu held Little John today, and Luke said he didn't want to be called Grandpa. Foreshadowing much? Or am I reaching?

Edit: Getting all sentimental again, but you guys are great. Just spent some time on another board and had to "agree to disagree" about JE's ability when it comes to drama. SPOILER ALERT _ _ _ _ _ From TVGuide A LULU OF A PROBLEM Hmmmm, looks like someone's been watching "Cruel Intentions." The teen set gets nasty on General Hospital when Lulu and Diego decide to destroy Georgie and Dillon's new marriage. "Lulu lies and says she saw Diego having sex with Georgie, and Dillon is so hurt he sleeps with Lulu," says a GH rep. "He ends up having real feelings for her." All hell breaks loose in mid-July, when Lulu admits it's all been a game. But that's nothing compared to the explosion due this fall when Luke Spencer returns to Port Charles and finds that his little Lulu ain't a virgin no more! Oy. Wonder if this deals with the motherhood spoiler...

Little John. And Nikolas I guess. WHERE OH WHERE IS TRACY?!?

*pops in* I doubt TPTB intend on moving Lacy forward. It should've happened months ago. SPOILER STUFF _ _ _ _ This is too strange. I thought the exact thing on the car ride to work this morning, LOL, but that spoiler came out 3 months ago, didn't it? So if true, I bet someone just got lucky. Anyone see the made-up spoilers at SoapDish? On Friday, June 23rd, Luke and Tracy argue. Heh. You know, if Luke and Tracy are actually on, that spoiler might actually be accurate. *pops out*

*sigh* It's so dead in here. According to SZ recaps...No TQ so far, but surprise! Bobbie is apparently throwing a party for the kid her daughter kidnapped! And Lesley Webber is still alive. Err...Topic? I guess the Q's might find out at the end of the episode. MinervaFan, the latest fanfic is so much fun! I loved it. An observation, LOL: Watched some TQ scenes last night, and GH soooo needs to give Luke and co. fresh dialogue. The phrase "What is that I hear? Oh, sour grapes," came up 3 times. And I lost track of the "You're doing this to make so and so jealous." All right. I guess both phrases haven't been mentioned that recently, but still... SPOILER STUFF _ _ _ _ Re: The Motherhood Spoiler: Yeah, I can't see it being about Ned/Dillon. It has to be Lulu, and if our girl sacrifices herself and ends up in a coma (offscreen) all summer and into fall, oohhhhhhhhh... I don't see that happening though, so that's good. I'm just hoping JE gets decent material. *crosses fingers and toes* MinervaFan, Justus doesn't have control of ELQ, but after things settle, she might go after his assets. I'd rather she acknowledge him as a true Quartermaine. *laughs at self* Yeah, like we're going to get scenes of the Q's during all of this. You know, it has to be all about Jason and Sonny. Re: Emma Samms's return: So...Luke leaves with Holly, eh? Any speculation? Love my Lacy (sans the humilation), but perhaps it's time Tracy divorces his useless, drunken butt. She has grounds for abandoment, does she not? Rumor that floated around SoapDish for a night: Someone "heard" that Skye delivers the eulogy at Justus's memorial. He/she wondered if Skye was the designated Q eulogy giver or what, LOL. I don't expect Tracy to get up and say anything, but I think Edward is a better choice than Skye. There's also a rumor that Luke expresses his condolences to Edward (despite the whole Justus/Laura trial fiasco).

*faints* MinervaFan, the latest 2 stories? Just incredible. So beautiful...So much goodness. And the fact that these stem from a single word prompt is amazing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Re: "No Matter the Sacrifice" Didn't seem OOC to me. Dillon's her son, her baby, and since she thought the mafia had something to do with his disappearance, I see no reason for her not to be consumed with fear. Other comments: Adding "Eastern Standard Time" after the 4:58pm and the 5:10pm is a neat idea. It adds something to the fanfic...I don't have the right word though, LOL. Loved the line "one of those obvious, stupid things that men said." No offense, Keith. Also loved the paragraph that begins, "What kind of life was she giving him?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Re: "Master Plan" Aww, this starts off too cute..."In other words, her dear brother knew nothing at all about life" and "It didn't hurt that she'd accidentally on purpose brought last year's suit, which was just a little too small, which pushed her in at all the right places and pushed her out at all the better places," and Alan referring to her as "Princess Tracy." Oh, and the talk of "Daddy" disinherting Alan had me laughing out loud. And, aww...Poor Tracy. Her "Master Plan" all mapped out, but all going to hell. And the code line got to me too..That her father loved her, in his own way, which was code she knew for not at all as well as the "I'd better get changed." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I can't wait until ILoveTracyQ reads these. She's going to love them so much. OT, but while I adore wireless connection, I hate that it just "goes out" for no apparent reason at important times...say like when I'm in the middle of a post, and when I try to Preview or Add Reply, it doesn't work.

Psst...How come no one told me that I typed "woman" instead of "women?" Corrected version is here because I'm sort of a perfectionist like that, LOL. Still lovin' Tracy!!!

Yay! I didn't expect ILoveTracyQ to be on this weekend! (Am I being all positive or what? LOL.) It really is nice to have you posting though. *smiles* I'm also going to assume all of them are in California. JE's son and Scott Clifton even used to be in the same acting class until he (her son) decided to pursue a career in the arts. And yep...JE brought the ratings up, up, up. Helloooo...Put TQ in some promos or something. I'm tired of the same old, same old: [announcer voice] This week on General Hospital, Sonny's erratic behavior... [/voice] (insert clip of Sonny pushing over a table) THE SAUCE IS NOT PERFECT! MY PASTA IS RUINED! OH THIS TURMOIL!!! [announcer voice] ...shocks Emily. [/voice] (insert clip of Emily with hands over her face) OH MY GOD! [announcer voice] And it will ALSO shock you! No, it's not a movie. It's General Hospital. You can't miss it! [/voice] I am so done, LOL. I'll be at a wedding tonight, so I won't be on. See ya (err...Post with ya?) tomorrow.

MinervaFan, loved, loved, loved "Heartless." *claps* Re: Guza's comment: Heh. I noticed that too. I guess it doesn't matter to him if JE is utilized or not. He still has her. *sigh* Re: Small role vs. big role: Hmm...Interesting. I didn't give it much thought 'til Keith pointed it out. And then I realized...Upon her return, she gave an interview where she pretty much stated she didn't want to play wallpaper. Something like..."You don't bring a 56 year-old woman and have her play wallpaper. You better give her something to do. Otherwise, why hire her?" Sounds like she meant business. Anyway, from that, I'm assuming she would prefer a bigger role and that things have changed.

I adored the TraLu scenes during the vow renewal episodes. I could go for more of that... And OT, but yay me! I figured out that EOM means: End of Message. I've seen it at SZ, and it's been bugging me, LOL. *crosses fingers* I hope the thread doesn't get slooooooow over the weekend. This might sound pathetic, but I so LOVE it here. Edit #1: So I'm bored and searching stuff...and came across this: Jane Elliot, who plays Dr. Tracy Quartermine on the show... That'd be fun to see. And "Quartermaine" is spelled wrong. Who was supposed to edit this? Edit #2: I'm sure some of us have seen this before, but I'm not sure if MinervaFan has, and I know she'll love it. It's a JE interview from December 1998 (scroll down about three quarters). Very extensive. Includes stuff about GH/The City, being a mom, acting in general, soaps in general, producing...lots of good stuff. It's funny...When you read interviews from then and now, it's obvious she's changed her mind about some things (living in LA vs. NYC, recasting on soaps, indulging in fantasy SLs)...7 and a half years is a long time though.

I am posting waaaaay to much. I don't think I've stepped away from the computer since I got home from work, LOL. Keith, we try to leave spoiler space. SPOILER STUFF _ _ _ _ This doesn't look like a typo to me: Q. Now that Anna's returning, when can we expect to see Holly again? Robert and Holly are SO hot tether still! I need my Scorpio fix! - Mike, Niles, IL A. Holly will next be back on June 30. Don't miss her! Well, the person forgot some letters in "together," and that's a typo, but you know what I mean. And then if it is in SID...Eh...Guess we'll see. Yeah, she might not want to re-sign. I'm convinced it's part of TIIC's eviiiiiiiil plaaaaaaan. Piss off JE, so she'll leave. *sigh* And not that's it's my business, but isn't she putting 2 kids through college? I'm not sure what GH pays her and/if she'll have enough saved by the time her contract does expire, but from a financial standpoint, if she is asked to re-sign that dotted line, it'd make sense to stick around (unless she gets work elsewhere). Of course, if she's not happy, then all the money in the world isn't going to fix that. Anyway...positive thoughts! We have that motherhood spoiler. Yep. Yep. And Julie Marie Berman is GH's current IT girl. Is she not? So...Things should be good if the spoiler does indeed pertain to Lulu.

Keith, I thought you were 100% spoiler free.

Sorry for all the posts... Words of wisdom? Don't read on. SPOILER ALERT _ _ _ _ According to the ABC Hot Sheet, Emma Samms returns June 30th. In the SID issue dated July 4th (as posted by WhyohWhy of SOC), Holly takes Luke out of Port Charles this summer when TG heads on his annual vacation. TG returns in late July/early August to keep the SL moving. My comments: The hell with positive thoughts. Sorry everybody. I just get the feeling that JE is going to be backburnered AGAIN...And I'm tired of it. And it probably shouldn't bother me as much as it does...but...ugh...*sigh* Um, someone, please? Cheer me up.

Based on recaps? No. *cries* LOL at "Sony" though.

I'm no editing expert, but if TIIC can mix and match Lorenzo, it shouldn't be too difficult to slip our girl in right after Skye. *sigh* BTW, MinervaFan, read the fic. Well-written (as with all the others), but a bit too much. Looking forward to the next one though. Edit: I don't remember seeing Edward in the opening. Doesn't JI have a contract? And what about TR/Robert?

Clips! Credit to Geena of Hella Good. Yes, Keith, please continue to post a lot. *waves to coolkid* Loved the kindergarten comment regarding the outfit. And LOL about slipping them a $100 bill. We've missed ya posting around here. *waves back to ILoveTracyQ *tries to think of a hint* Hmm...Sorry. I can't come up with something without spoiling it, LOL. As for the motherhood thing...I am just going to take whatever gets her air time during TG's absence. You know what we should do? List every time Tracy's been onscreen when Luke hasn't. It won't be long because on GH, the woman isn't allowed to have a life outside her man. Oh, and I know we're supposed to be positive, but according to SZ, the opening has been updated. I'm not watching, although I am home...So...I rewound the tape, checked it out, and *sigh* it still ends with Skye/Luke...Actually, it's been changed to Lorenzo, then Skye, then Luke. Tracy's still somewhere around Maxie or whatever.

LOL Keith. I thought the same thing. Must. Be. Positive. Thanks for the feedback, ILoveTracyQ. I'd tell you about the ball, but I don't want to give anything away. SPOILER DISCUSSION _ _ _ _ Lulu might become Helena's target. Could this be related to the motherhood spoiler? ETA: Page 83! Yay!

My 500th post went into the CT/Helena thread. That's all right though. I mentioned Tracy. Keith, what I mean is...Isn't JE (and the others) guaranteed a certain number of episodes/week? So...If it's 1 or 2 episodes, and GH has to pay her regardless, wouldn't it make more sense to give her more scenes/episode? *sigh* I'm so confused, LOL. Um, positive thoughts? ::silence:: LOL ILoveTracyQ. Re: The spoiler...No, guess I shouldn't have said "floating around," because it's not...well, in this thread it's "floating around," but besides SID, I haven't seen it. Mag spoilers are accurate, right? RIGHT?!? Please oh please. Oh, there's Luke/Lulu spoiler for next week. Can I hope Tracy will makes an appearance? Now, positive/happy thoughts/things... (Oh God; sounds like we all need therapy, LOL) Tracy's on today (as ILoveTracyQ mentioned), and she not wearing (to quote MinervaFan) "ten miles of floating jacket." angel is updating Beautiful Disaster soon, 4XCrazy has updated Homelands, and I've updated Oh, Baby. Plus, MinervaFan is always keeping us entertained with her goodness. And this thread and all of you are wonderful!

*waves to ILoveTracyQ who is lurking* I hear ya, psychofan. GH is just wasting $$$ since the actors get paid per episode, right? So at least put JE in for half of it. Oh well. *sighs* Oh, Baby Updates! Chapter 37 Chapter 38 Chapter 39

ILoveTracyQ, I'll watch live under 2 conditions...1) I'm not tied up at work and 2) I know that Tracy is on. If the spoilers/previews don't indicate she will be, then I don't bother. It's not worth my time. I actually took a nap after Tracy's second scene today. Feeling all refreshed and energized now, so this post might be a long one. BTW, saw your comment a few days ago at SZ about a "bright side to everything," and so true...No Tracy=I save money on VHS tapes. *tries to think positively since your post is depressing me* Psst...get over to SOC, and make your presence known. It's silly, but if you get into it, it's almost kind of fun...except this round sort of stinks since almost everyone is voting her off. Anyway... 4XCrazy and MinervaFan, fanfics have been read, reviewed, and loved. angel, looking forward to your update! Re: ABC Media Pics: Today's show was it. Normally, I say any time Tracy is on, you should watch. Today? Not so much. *sighs* I'll still post clips though. Lori or Geena of Hella Good should have them up soon. Re: TG's vacation...That "motherhood" spoiler is still floating around...Might be a 2 day thing, but I'm going to hope for 2 months. Yes, I'm in denial. *waves to psychofan* Good to see you posting in here again.

WTH?!? She's gone?!? 2 short scenes and then she leaves?!? *cries* OT, but yay! Tracy was spared (by one vote) in the last round of SOC's GH Survivor. ILoveTracyQ, it's not too late to join the alliance.

*steps in* I miss Tracy. Love this place, love you guys, but this thread needs JE to be onscreen. We get too quiet if she's not. OT--but our girl is so getting voted off SOC's GH Survivor this round. Our alliance just couldn't save her. *steps out*
