Ms. Quartermaine

Breakroom? http://pub13.bravenet.com/chat/show.php/1049349012

funny, I am sorry about all the papers and !@#$. How did your most recent paper go? I am freaking out right now because I'm not sure if there will be room for me in the grad classes in the fall. And if there is...Oh my goodness, the course descriptions and long class sessions (although just once a week per class) are making me not want to go... I'm not ready to go back to school!!! :( Anyway, funny, good luck. One less week to go than before, right? halee, thanks for the clip! Squee. TrAsh and Trott (?) all in one little package!

Love that, hooked!!! And she really did help the show out! Brought them up in the ratings and even made Best of Broadcast in 2003. So, I was going through some old documents today and came across GH Couple Anagrams. A lot of them are out dated, but I was amused by what was provided for Luke/Tracy. Tacky Lure It is SO perfect, isn't it? 'Cause really, that's how it all began - haha.

I was on YouTube (left a long comment on one of your clips, halee) and I came across the beginning of Luke and Skye. I had seen it before, though I guess I forgot the part where he got kind of violent with her in the beginning when he put his hand around her neck. It all started October 14th, 2003. That was sooner than I thought. You all might be wondering why I am bringing Skye and Luke's relationship into this thread - haha - so I will explain. I read this comment from the clip, and it sort of pissed me off: Jane Elliot, who thought "I'll believe it when I see it" when Jill Faren Phelps told her about her and TG sharing scenes together, stole Robin's acting partner? Right.

remos, why did you have to end it like that? Don't make me beg for more. LOL. For funny, Rach, and TL who asked in the breakroom (and for anyone else who is interested)... Click the text: Oh, Baby - Chapter 105 Not quite as suspenseful as what remos has been writing, but it's another chapter.

It's not a power point, though you might tempt me into creating one!!! Haha. Glad your mouth is better today! And get this, I slept very well last night too! I was so excited after having such a crappy night the night before. halee, commented on that clip (and I think some others) last night! Thanks for posting! Happy Birthday Canada! This is reminding me that we haven't had an "Upcoming Birthdays" post in a while... July 4: remos July 26: pinkpopsicle (hasn't been around in a very long time. ) July ??: Lainey, I know your birthday is in July sometime, but I don't believe you've shared... Want to? EDIT: remos, okay, I totally want more and now! Please. I know I have been slacking when it comes to commenting on the Annals, but I love them, and this most recent chapter might be my favorite (non-LuNacy one, anyway). *squees*

An FYI for those who might be interested... Notes regarding accuracy: 2004: I went through transcripts myself for January through October (CTRL F is my friend). For November and December, I had her episode dates saved in another document. My total came to 114. Upon searching the thread, I see that Sean has recorded 117 episodes. SON (from when the 2004 archives were posted) had recorded 119. 2005: I mentally took note of the episodes throughout the year and later recorded them, verifying the ones I wasn't sure of using transcripts. Sean has 78 episodes too. SON has 77 listed. 2006: I tallied these using my daily clips. Sean has 84 recorded. SON has 78. 2007: I tallied these using my daily clips. Sean calculated 106 provided Jane Elliot received 11 episodes in December. Since that SoapDish "scoop" was incorrect and her totals were 9 for that month, Sean's totals for the year would then be 104. SON has the exact same numbers. 2008: I tallied these using my daily clips. hooked has the same numbers. remos, I was going to post and then I realized I wasn't so sure. I think your post is the most accurate, although I almost want to say that in 1996, we found out that Paul and Tracy made amends offscreen and Dillon spent a weekend here and there with Paul and Jenny. I read that somewhere, I believe. ILoveTracyQ might have more details. It was later rewritten that Paul was a deadbeat Dad that had no interest in Dillon, but when Tracy did take him, he had intentions of getting him back, or as least that's what I thought. EDIT: In the breakroom with Rach... http://pub13.bravenet.com/chat/show.php/1049349012

Soap Opera Digest Round Up with Jason Thompson Q: If you had to live in a house with three of your co-stars for a reality show, which 3 would you pick? JT: KMc because we're friends on the outside, so it would be comfortable, Jane because she's absolutely hilarious and...should I surround myself with woman? If we need another guy, it'd be funny to live with Mo, just because he's not what people think he is. Steve would have the protein powder ready and get me to light a fire under my ass and work out. And Bradford would be a blast to live with."

hooked, I'm fairly certain that 2005 is still the worst ever (up to this point, anyway). I searched this thread and found some stats I put posted last September. I will add 2008 to them. Jan. through June 2008 - 2007 - 2006 - 2005 Compared Jan: 9 - 9 - 13 - 2 Feb: 7 - 16 - 9 - 4 March: 3 - 9 - 9 - 4 April: 8 - 7 - 13 - 5 May: 8 - 10 - 5 - 13 June: 6 - 11 - 6 - 11 Totals: 2008: 41 2007: 62 2006: 55 2005: 39 Would be interesting to see what 2004's numbers were. Edited to correct 2007's numbers for March and May.

Thanks. I was kind of embarrassed by it. hooked, I did more "research" 'cause clearly I can't give this up, but I found that the November 11, 2003 episode reran on May 10, 2004. My best guess is the 2004 one was the rerun of the 2003 one. Still doesn't solve the March 2004 mystery though... In other "news" you can revisit last summer's ShadyBrook adventures here: Straightjacketed Women on Television. Do a CTRL F for Tracy Quartermaine. And Soap Opera Digest Online messes up its facts yet again. Even if it meant to leave out the years between '89 and '04, she returned in 2003. Oh and "eventually" earned an Emmy? Woman got an Emmy from the get-go, LOL. Jane Elliot She started out a PC gal, joining GH in 1978 and eventually earning an Emmy for her role as the ruthless Tracy Quartermaine. In 1987, Elliot moved to DAYS to play another rich witch, Anjelica Deveraux. She returned to her GH roots in 2004.

hooked, sorry about the teeth. Hmm, we've seen 2004, 2005, and 2006, right? I went on IMDB.com (remember how it used to say Actress, "All My Children; it now says Actress, "The Guiding Light"). It just listed her in 1 episode (so not accurate). NEXT. In reviewing the list of episodes aired in 2003, there is for whatever reason nothing listed for Thursday, November 13th. NEXT. I moved on to TV.com, which does list it as an episode but just Valerie Wildman and Ilene Kristen are listed as guest stars. NEXT. I decided to search Frank Nicotero. He is not listed as being on SoapTalk on IMBD.com. NEXT. I googled him and SoapTalk and TV.com came up. PROGRESS. I clicked the SoapTalk episode 97.02 and it brought me to Tuesday, November 11, 2003. EVEN MORE PROGRESS. Jane Elliot is also listed as a guest star. SUCCESS. Now, the REAL success will be finding the clip. She must have been on promoting her full-time return to GH which began November 14th. And to think!!! She got screentime upon that return. Scenes with the Q's, Jax, Luke, Skye (if you don't count her as a Q), Scott, Sam, the teens... Can you believe it??? Anyway, I do believe this is an episode we missed though maybe the gold jacket WAS 2003??? I do remember her talking about return or getting called to be on GH while at the care dealership. And come to think of it, the clip shown was from April 2003. I mean if it was 2004 when that aired, they would probably show a clip from that year... Hmm, the more I think about it, the more I believe that what we thought was 2004 was 2003. Man, all my "research" above has gone to waste!!! LOL. EDIT: CurlyQgrl's edits say she was on in March 2004, August 2005, and we know she was on in Summer 2006. But I am not seeing evidence of March 2004 on TV.com... I think I'm just going to give this a rest for now. I have to shower and make a trip to Target sooner than later...

MsQ pretends she is an insider in an attempt to cheer hooked up... hooked, pretend that all of this IS happening...Ignore the red - haha. Just a reminder, but this is just pretend... not real... Question: Will we be seeing Tracy on our screens anytime soon? I remember Guza said she would be all over the place the summer. Does he have any story line planned for her? Answer: Jane Elliot fans will be happy. My info. indicates she will be on in 8 of the next 14 episodes. (I had a hard time believing it myself, but I assure you that it is true unless there are last minute changes). Question: Thank you so much!!! Can you answer the question about what her story line will be? Answer: Of course! As you might expect, she will have a role in Lulu's upcoming situation. This week is more of the same. The week after, however, she find out about the cover-up but keeps her mouth shut. Scott is suspicious though and threatens to have her arrested if she doesn't tell him what she knows. Question: Thank you again! No one ever seems to have much Tracy info. around here! I appreciate you sharing. Just more thing if you don't mind. 14 episodes would be the next 3 weeks. Do the scenes with Scott continue the week of the 14th? Answer: I'm not sure. My info. doesn't mention it the for the week of the 14th, but there might be more. I do know that she is on with Lucky for sure. Tracy gets that letter from Luke that I have seen some people mention. He assures her that he is fine and not to worry, but Tracy is worried - about him and Lulu. She shares her concerns with Lucky without going into details about Logan's murder. Sam overhears, and she wants to help Lucky and Tracy track Luke down. That's all I have. Final comment: Thank you again! You are awesome for sharing all of that!!! And I can't believe I'm saying this but Guza is awesome for giving me Tracy!!! Too good to be true, huh?

Hey, TL and hooked, I see you both in the breakroom, but no one is saying ANYTHING. I figured I was in the AU breakroom, but I logged in and out 3 times now, and still, no response from you two!!! Not sure what is going on... EDIT: Now you both have disappeared completely!!!

Checking in... Kyle, I loved her on The City too! Her interactions with little Dillon and with Zoey were my favorite. Oh, and Alex Masters!!! Thank you to all who keep on following Oh, Baby despite me taking forever to update. Edit: halee, I went on a bit of a comment-posting spree on your clips at YouTube. Sorry to flood your inbox with all the notifications of them.

hooked, you will get a kick out of Alan's comment re: Tracy's hair near the end of this clip! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZiLFAa84U4 Everyone else: It's a super awesome Quartermaine scene, so if you're a fan of the crazy bunch, you should watch.

http://www.sendspace.com/file/u3tnzv funny, I finally decided "the hell with it" and just put up the next chapter of Oh, Baby. I don't think I ever was going to be satisfied with it. Since I'm satisfied with the chapters to come, it's all good. Or good enough, anyway. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2853850/104/Oh_Baby Also, if anyone was wondering about an update to the TQ poem - 2003 to current (IN ADDITION to the updates on TracyLuke.info), you can find them here... http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2904918/3/Ode_to_Tracy_Q http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2904918/4/Ode_to_Tracy_Q

Gah!!! I should know that when no one comes in after a long time, I am probably in the AU one. Hate when that happens... Though I have to admit it's very interesting how it works...

Anyone up for breakroom? http://pub13.bravenet.com/chat/show.php/1049349012

Thanks again for these! Do you have Friday the 13th by chance? The ones I have aren't indexed - not sure what that means exactly - but they can't be used in Windows Movie Maker. Not that I intend on using Friday the 13th scenes with Ric and Tracy in a video, but you never know - haha.

Thanks for the heads up halee. Here's what I caught so far... Segment 1: MAYBE TRACY. I'm not sure if she had a scene right in the beginning. My VCR thought today was Saturday (we lost power the other day, and I guess I screwed up when re-setting the time/date), so I don't have the beginning on tape and can't check. Segment 2: LULU, TRACY, JOHNNY. Lulu and Johnny are standing close. Lulu can't believe they made him spend the night in lock up. I honestly don't even remember what Tracy said except she threw a "sweetheart" in there. My guess if more of the same. Then, before Tracy leaves she tells Lulu that she is going to reserve a room for her at ShadyBrook, 'cause that's where she's going to end up. Tracy leaves. Lulu (who has a cold - well, JMB has the cold) says she's just being mean. Johnny says she's right. *sees remos' post* I guess that answers my question about Segment 1. She must have opened the show.

I also don't think she'll be on next week other than the 4th of July rerun. Perhaps the week after with the aftermath of the Lulu drama. I despise that character so much. I'd be totally fine with her off of GH if it wasn't for the reason that she gives Tracy screentime while Luke is gone. Other than that, she is good for absolutely nothing IMO. BTW, hooked, LOVE the hair comments. And halee, I liked her look yesterday too. nex, here is the clip of Tracy running into Laura: http://www.sendspace.com/file/yndckf (Credit goes to Geena).

Oh my gosh... I cannot decide on the color/size of the newest banner! I keep changing it. Tomorrow, you all will probably see the old LuNacy one again. Nothing new on SoapDish, spoiler-wise. For those interested in wardrobe, this is outdated, but it amused me. (It's from a site like Serial Drama). As a woman who would dream to one day look as good as Jane [Elliot] does at her age, I have to wonder why she’s been attacked by my mother’s garden.

Sorry for the double post, but I didn't want this getting mixed in with my other... Taken out of context, the following dialogue sounds so wrong given the fact that it came from Tracy and Dillon scenes. From November 2003: "Come on, give it to me, sweetheart." From July 2006: "You get down with your bad self." Just had to share.

Some threads on SOC if anyone is interested... Lulu/Tracy: http://boards.soapcentral.com/showthread.php?t=371918 Monica/Tracy: http://boards.soapcentral.com/showthread.php?t=371986 Advocating a return of Ned: http://boards.soapcentral.com/showthread.php?t=372065 nex, thanks for the clips. hooked, I liked her hair with Luke! So glad she had good hair for those awesome scenes! Haha. I still like the "Senator's wife" hair though as halee labeled it. I think the bangs (when laying appropriately) work on her.

remos, TL was around last night in the breakroom. Segment 1: NO TRACY. Segment 2: TRACY, MONICA. Monica enters her rehab room. Tracy is sitting in a chair, as she enters. Monica: Oh my God. Has something happened to Edward? Tracy insists that Edward is fine, well, not fine; that ever since Michael's accident he's been in the study, brooding. Tracy thought about making up an ELQ crisis to give him something to focus on. Monica wonders if she's not there about Edward, why is she here? Tracy's all "Do I have to have a reason?" LOL. Monica wonders if she ran out of people to harass. Tracy goes, "Nice to see your recovery is progressing." Tracy calls her a pain the ass, says she always was. Monica talks about getting her life back together, being able to get back to work. Tracy is glad. Monica thanks her, but she is not at the stage of apologies, so if that's why Tracy's there...Tracy interrupts, saying she needs advice about Lulu. Segment 3: TRACY, MONICA. Lulu is not just being a rebellious teenager. She is involved with John Zacharra. Monica asks if she thinks he has anything to do with Michael. Tracy says no, but he's done others like it. She don't want Lulu to be another name on his list. Nothing Tracy is saying is getting through. Tracy recaps the last 2 summers. She warned Lulu about Dillon, warned her about Logan, etc. Monica is all WTH are you coming to me? Have you seen my track record? Emily and AJ are gone. Jason is destroying himself. And Tracy comes to Monica for advice??? Tracy tells her it's because she's been through it. Monica recalls that she was the one who advocated that Jason should have his space, that he should be free to make choices. Tracy asks if she had to do it again, what would she do? Monica would do everything in her power to to get him out of his lifestyle. That is her advice. Do everything that is necessary and get Lulu away from the mob. She reminds her that she is good at manipulation and scheming and that now is the prefect time to put her skills to use. She stresses that Tracy do whatever she can do, to not make the same mistakes she did. "You go and save that girl's life." Note: JE and LC are sooooooooo kicking butt. Segment 4: NO TRACY. Segment 5: TRACY, JOHNNY, CLAUDIA. Tracy needs a word with Claudia's brother in private please. Claudia resists it, but Johnny says she'll talk to her. Cut to Claudia and Ric. Cut back to Tracy and Johnny. Tracy has one simple question: Yes or no, did your father kills your mother? Note: Wow. Who would have thought Tracy and Monica would have gotten way longer scenes than Tracy and Johnny? I'm confident the next one will be a bit longer though. BTW, RING IS ON. Outfit looks like the one she wore for Day 1 of Laura's trial, except it's not buttoned up this time, and she has black pants on; not the skirt. Hair is more or less like last time, but it looks a little better IMO. Segment 6: TRACY, JOHNNY. Tracy has not lived her life in pampered isolation. In fact, one of her husbands was a fairly high ranking crime figure. After his death, she briefly ran the business, and she heard stories of Anthony killing his wife. Johnny wants to know where she's going with this. She stresses that he is the son of a mob boss. He is being groomed to take his father's place. If he continues to pursue a relationship with Lulu, she will end up like his mother. Segment 7: TRACY, JOHNNY. Johnny: I'm not my father. Tracy: Not yet. Look you obviously have feelings for Lulu. She insists she is better off away from him, safer from the violence, safer from the day to day chaos that Johnny calls his life. Lulu is too fragile. Tracy tells her about Laura and how she became catatonic because couldn't handle the stress or danger. Johnny asks how is he supposed to destroy Lulu? It's like Tracy is throwing anything against a wall to get it to stick. Tracy says that's her point. There is a number of ways it can happen. And only one it won't. She urges him: Let her go. They are interrupted. The person announces that Johnny has another visitor. Lulu Spencer. Previews: NO TRACY.
