Ms. Quartermaine

^^^ You're not alone. What a rip off. Esp. the ending, as I mentioned in my other post. Gah. Just gah, gah, gah. I echo was you said. Not enough Tracy in the dream. Not enough of Tracy yelling at Bobbie. Not enough Tracy/Luke interaction at the end. Am I being greedy? I really don't think I am, but who knows? And I cannot believe there are people online blaming Tracy for planting the thoughts about Emily into Monica's head... EDIT: OT, this is ridiculous. WHY DO I HAVE TO FILL OUT RETIREMENT PAPERS?! And all the stuff about beneficiaries? I mean, granted if I died, the $$$ should go to someone...But all this primary beneficiaries, alternate beneficiaries...I feel so old!!!

Just got home...Caught part of Luke's hell... The good Tracy has LOVELY hair and is soooo beautiful in her coat with that necklace. Luke seems upset that Tracy's no longer his "wife." The bad Tracy/Scott's first kiss. I get this is supposed to be OTT, but it just wasn't a normal kiss upon first viewing. Their last kiss was sweet though. The ugly Luke: YOU'RE CHEATING ON TRACY? Finally, something that makes sense! Scott: There's no cheating. She loves to share me. I got a GREAT life, Spencer. Great! Next... Lesley and Bobbie are supporting Monica (in the scene before, she explained what happened and that Tracy was right all along). Monica sort of brushes them off and goes to Tracy to tell her that she was right for a second time. Tracy doesn't want her to talk to her. She walks away, where Lucky tries to tell Tracy that Luke isn't dead, but Tracy pulls away. Monica is back to talking and crying to Bobbie and the others. Basically, it doesn't look good for Luke. (I'm really, really enjoying LC's performance here). Next... Luke's in the OR for about 2 seconds and then he opens his eyes in the regular room. Skye says, "Welcome back." Tracy's at the window and comes over, "How're you feeling?" Luke: "Like I've been to hell and back." She puts her hand on his forehead. BTW, not that anyone cares, but there is some majorly HORRIBLE editing going on here. Really, really bad IMO. Luke might not live. Everyone's in the waiting room. Luke's still in hell. Then, commerical. Luke, OR, and Leo is saying there's nothing that they can do. Skye: "Is this how you want it to end?" Luke's eyes open. Super short exchange with Skye and Tracy. Cut to Lulu and Logan about it being a long night. I feel ripped off; there were sooooooooo many better ways to wrap this up. And now what? We get no Luke at all 'til Wednesday. What a rushed job these so-called professionals did... *calling remos to make it better* EDIT: FULL RECAP Scene 1: Luke in the OR. Eyes open. Cut to hell. Where is he? Skye said he's at home. Luke: This is not my house. Skye says he better make it be. Luke flirtswith Skye a bit. Luke insists he must be in heaven. Skye: 3, 2, 1... Screaming children. Lulu and Logan come down the stairs. Scene 2: Explanations of what's going on. Lulu and Logan are all over each other. Julie is very cute here. Luke is horrified that he has to babysit his grandchildren. Wants to find someone else. Lesley comes down with a boombox, jammin'...It's hilarious. Love Denise here. She's a got a hot date tonight and can't babysit. Luke wants out. Scene 3: Waiting room gang. Scott went to get an update on Luke. Tracy says he has no right to be here. Bobbie reminds him she called him. Tracy doesn't want Logan here. Skye has no problem with Logan there for Lulu. Skye says she has no right here. She's not family. Bobbie wants her to cut it out. You do not have a monolopy on life and love where Luke's concerned. Tracy: [sarcastic] Oh of course not...Never mind I'm the one to convince him to get the surgery. If it were up to you, he'd be dead. Lucky: Tracy, that's not fair. Monica enters: I'm so sorry. Cut to hell...Luke is holding the baby who needs to be chanced. Soon, he finds out he's working for the PCPD when Lucky comes in with a moustache. Mac comes in, dressed as a golfer. He and Luke are golfing buddies. Scene 4: Monica explains that she doesn't know what happened. Tracy: What do you mean you don't know? You're the surgeon. You're the one who insisted on having that surgery tonight. You HAVE to know. Skye wants her to let Monica speak. Tracy would love to, but Monica seems uncapable. Bobbie asks Monica to continue. Monica says Dr. Julian is trying to repair the damage. Tracy: What damage, Monica? Monica: You were right, Tracy. I should have never performed the surgery. Scene 5: Luke finds out Tracy and Scott are married and that Scott has this wonderful life that Luke was supposed to happen. He wants Scott to babysit but he and his chickie are on his way to the Bahamas for the opening of his new casino. Enter Tracy: What's taking so long, lover man? Scene 6: Monica is rambling about herself and her abilities. Everyone is listening, and then Tracy's all, "What about Luke?!" Monica says she froze. I saw Emily's face everywhere, and I lost focus. And then I thought I was losing him. Lulu: But when you left the OR, my dad was alive right? Monica: Yes. Dr. Julian is doing everyth Scene 7: What did you call him? You're my wife, wife. You never were committed to me. I was just a cash stop on your to way to wherever. Luke: That's not true. Scott reminds Luke that he still owes her alimony money. Scott: What a great girl she is, but I don't have to tell you that, do I? Scott asks if Luke has a message for Holly. He has some plans for her after the casino opening...Then, the cheating line comes in from above. Scene 8: The "Don't talk to me" scene from above. Meanwhile in hell, Luke can't escape from hell. He can't have cigars, can't have alcohol...Skye leaves him there. Scene 9: The Tracy/Luke/Skye scene from above. Plus, Lulu/Logan. She wants to see Luke, but suspects Tracy is all over him. Is glad Logan was with her tonight. I have no idea how many segments, but judging from above, there were 7 scenes of her, which is what SI spilled. As we know, no previews...

Hey, I'm around, hooked, but I did forget I left the window open. However, I'm buried in medical record authorization forms, information regarding evaluation services, and a ton of papers from the local county regional office of education and am about to run out (gotta head to Target and use their pharmacy's fax machine -- What? My mom works there, and I'm faxing over medical forms -- It all goes together, LOL). So, while I'm around for the moment, I can't stay!!! Maybe I will catch you at show time! BTW, hope you're able to scan that article for us.

Very quickly before I go to bed. I JUST rewatched the sweet LuNacy moment. Listen to JE's delivery: Does she start to say "make" instead of break? (re: promises) And does "more" almost come out as "mo?" I'm guessing I missed it the first time 'cause of the whole super awesome voice thing she does when delivering certain sad dialogue. It seemed to cover up the error...If you even want to call it that. People trip over their words all the time, esp. when they're upset...So maybe that was supposed to be like that! Haha. Anyway, just something I noticed...Doesn't change the way I feel about the scene.

^^^ I think she meant to address hooked and her post about Skye being there when he wakes up from the surgery.

hooked!!! Why are you bringing that over?! And I don't get it. Who let her in there?! This is coming from the used to be #1 fan Skye/Luke fan too!!! Ohh, that's it, I am shipping Tracy/Scott for the time being. Bring on their Bring. It. On. And Trace? Forget Luke this Christmas and spend it with Ned and Dillon. Luke has a whole room of people supporting him...Let them deal with him and his attitude. You are too good to him!!! I am tempted to bring this out again...

12/11: Poor Tracy! I had to start it. Oh, I thought it was going to get merged with the LuNacy thread, but I guess not, 'cause the LuNacy thread has been closed since it's at 300+ posts.

remos!!! If you can't spin it, it was bad! I didn't like today either, other than that one scene. What a rip off. Oh, and if THAT was the vow renewal thing we're supposed to get? Gah, gah, gah... I've decided that Luke needs to get an eye full of Tracy/Scott in hell...Lots and lots of Tracy/Scott being all cute, with their hands around each other with lots of kissing and happiness...And then when he gets out of surgery, I want him to see Tracy/Scott being civil to one another, and I want it to scare the !@#$ out of him... Off to write my Monica/Tracy/Dillon story, maybe...or fill out some important forms...

^^^ Yep, yep, bsg. I recapped briefly. And remos, it was just 3?! Maybe 3 scenes, but her name was mentioned more than that, it seemed, or if it wasn't, it was "Your mother..." EDIT: So after today, I was thinking about getting a new banner. I think I will. However, Lukey Boy will not be finding his way into it. MORE EDITS: Just re-watched the coffee thing!!! OMG. How sad is that?! I know you can only fit 4 in those cup-holder things, but WTH?! Was that supposed to mean something when Tracy was off to the side, alone, silent, when everyone else is being supportive of each other? I just figured that's what Tracy wanted (to be alone, not interacting with them), but someone could've gave her coffee at least!!! Or put a hand on her back. Idiots. Be nice to her! Esp. you Bobbie!!!! She was right about Monica, and you insisted she wasn't!!! Gah. I HATE THIS SHOW! Wait...Maybe in the scene before that was cut, she specifically said she did not want coffee. What are the chances? LOL.

Watch the first half. Forget the rest unless you can deal with . Also, from the scene counts. THIS scene "Lucky, Bobbie, Lesley & Skye" was cut. From memory? 5 scenes total of Tracy. 4 speaking, 1 non-speaking. Same wardrobe. Hair, considerably flatter, seemed longer, strange as that sounds. RECAP BELOW...SCROLL IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ. _ _ _ _ Basic recap: Monica wants to do the surgery now. Tracy is all, "NO!" Luke wants to know what's the matter with her. She wanted it for him, and now she doesn't? She shares her concerns, but Luke thinks Monica is capable. Later, Luke wants to make a promise to Tracy, but she doesn't want him to 'cause he breaks his promises. In a sweet scene, they take each others hands, and Tracy sits on Luke's bed. He says after this is over they can go back to Vegas...mentions of a honeymoon...casino...Monte Carlo...buying a racehorse...snuggling together and hating the holidays. Luke's got plans for them. He'll be back. That's the last of the LuNacy. Next Tracy scene is her arguing with Monica about the operation. Last scene she's quiet with Lucky, Bobbie, Lesley, Logan, Skye, and Scott, looking out the window; she glares at Scott at the end, can't remember the reason. In terms of the non-LuNacy, but Luke: Scenes with Bobbie, mentions of Laura. Scene started off sweet, but then I couldn't take it...The only mention Tracy got was, "Try not throw Tracy out of a window." Oh wait, also "WHAT has Tracy been telling you?" (regarding Monica's capabilities). Also, scenes with his children. Acting was good, but again tons of Laura mentions. Have Nik take care of her. Visit her. Blah, blah. Bits of Skye/Luke as well, being all flirtatious. "What's in it for me if I live?" <Skye leaning over and whispering into his ear> "We'll just have to wait and see, won't we?" They recalled the Dr. VonSkeemerman days; remos, you out there? You want to spin all this into something good? Preview: Luke in the Spencer house. Skye holding a baby. "I wouldn't go out there if I were you!" Something about it being hot (hell). Monica telling Tracy and Lulu/Logan: "I'm so sorry." My overall opinion? Great goodness in the beginning. Didn't care about the rest. I'm not against Luke having scenes with others. In fact, I think he should, and I'm glad he got scenes with others without Tracy in the back of the room. But... it just seemed LnL and Skye/Luke overload today...I guess after all the LuNacy goodness we've gotten, I shouldn't complain, but I am...Which of you's mentioned no Laura in this SL so far?! You jinxed it.

Interview went well, everyone. Thanks for the good luck wishes. Very much looking forward to Tracy today, but I might not be able to watch live. I have to "practice" driving on the expressway since I have to do that tomorrow and haven't done in 7 years!!! Oh this might be bad, LOL. Yes, totally loving all the vets. Bobbie, Monica, Tracy, Luke. Soon, there will be some funny scenes with Scott. Should be great. Oh, I wanted to mention this the other day, but with the order of scoops in the IL, it almost sounds like LuNacy get it on during NYE... Insider: Are Luke/Tracy together for NYE? Yes in the hospital. Can you tell us what they're doing? More sex? It's implied by him lowering her to the bed in the montage. That's all. They could fall asleep. The "they're" however, refers to Liz/Jason from a previous post... Hmm, what else can I say or bring over?! From TWoP: ...Kate and Tracy's hair could bring about world peace. (Binks) Also from there: ...OMG, LOVE Tracy! She said exactly what I've been thinking with regards to Luke's attitude, but oh-so-much more brilliantly. "It's so COWARDLY! Who are you?!?" (Bourgeois Nerd)

I have returned. I'm telling you all. I'm too young for all this stress. I should be so nuts over submitting an online application. I am freaking out I messed it up. Of course, this is the same girl who proofreads important emails and reads them to herself about 10 times to make sure it's all good, and the same girl who sometimes writes out what she plans to say ahead of time if she's expecting to get voice mail. Oy. Oh, there's also supposed to be a HUGE ice storm tonight/tomorrow morning. I am going to have leave extra earlier than I normally would and also be extra careful...Too young, I tell you!!! Too young for this much paranoia and perfectionism in my life!!! In happier news, nex, thank you for the clips! So, to those who were watching...Remember the 15 million dollar dialogue? The exchange that kept being repeated one way or another? I think that dialogue has competition. "I want to live, but I want to live MY way." Yes, Luke, we get it. And we understand it. But, please, give. it. up. Lainey, since the scene insider gave out the scene counts and who's with who, I think what we saw was the original script...'cause the scene insider got it all right...Unless he/she had access to the edited/disjointed bits...Am I making sense?? EDIT: Did they reuse Lila's death music today with the LuNacy? Sounded like the same piece they used with Justus/Tracy when she found out. I'm sure they've used it other times as well...I'm thinking something with Sonny/Michael...I just assoc. it with Lila's death...

I'm not supposed to be here... remos, so do you think the Luke/Skye/Tracy/Scott scenes are not part of the dream? Maybe Luke's shown on the table and then outside Skye/Tracy/Scott are waiting? A kind of cute LuNacy related story: My mom was in the breakroom today (a REAL breakroom - haha) at work, and LuNacy were on. She said it got all quiet, and everyone was watching them, including my mom, 'cause they were being so sweet with the nice, soft background music was playing and then all of a sudden, Tracy started screaming, "Why do I even bother?!" And everyone was like, "Wait, what just happened?" I actually wondered that too, except it was because I had missed it the first time 'cause my dad entered. Just thought I'd share. Off to discuss my principles and beliefs as an educator...Yes, I'm STILL not done. This is turning into a 12 hour ordeal, it seems...

hooked, I'd credit the poster who's using the avatar. remos, thanks and haha. Here's to hoping. And OH MY GOD...I don't feel like doing the "Statement" part of the application or the cover letter. EDIT: Instead of being productive, I'm at SOC, and did my post with the articles get deleted? Maybe there's a rule about posting scans. Not sure. I know there's a rule that we can't post links to other sites, and so I made sure I liked to the article and not the threads at JE Online, but who knows? <shrug> I need to go focus on real life now. I don't think I'm going to be around tonight...

LOL hooked. Ok, guys, I am multitasking - filling out an application, searching for proof that TG wanted to work with JE since 1978, watching GH - and my dad came in during this powerful LuNacy scene, that was kind of sad because Luke was telling her that maybe she didn't know him as well as he thought she did, and Tracy all, "Maybe I don't." But then something good happened, 'cause Luke and Tracy were laughing and then it got quiet with music, and then Tracy started screaming, "WHY DO I EVEN BOTHER? WHY DO I EVEN BOTHER? WHY DO I EVEN BOTHER?!?" <Tracy exits in disgust> My dad was talking to me, and I was only half-watching, but I think it's safe to say that something not good happened. Okay, Luke is back, asking Sonny if he's seen Tracy. They had this argument...Luke, "I lived my own life for so long, by my own rules, since I was 8 years old, now I'm supposed to change and I'm going to turn into an old geezer...PHONE...gah...Someone does NOT want to me watch..."My wife doesn't want to lose me, she wants me to fight with everything I got...I don't want to die. I want to live, but I want to LIVE! Luke's getting a monologue. Sonny's his soundboard. I'm only half paying attention... EDIT: Sonny's talking now. Sonny says Tracy is right. You fight to live or you choose to die. Luke: Sometimes life can be death. If these doctors have their way I have to change who I am to survive...Tracy's eavesdropping. She looks sad and old...Luke would rather be a memory than to have Tracy be his caretaker. That's not fair to her. Tracy comes in. She's nice to Sonny. She wants a moment with her husband. Luke: Eavesdropping? Tracy: Sometimes it's the only way to know the truth... So, according to the scene counts, we have 1 more of Tracy...I think. Yep, she apparently has 1 more with Luke and Monica to make a total of 5. Okay, back on. Lucky's in Luke's room. He got there a few minutes ago. He's working on a case, so he can't stay, but he wanted to talk to him. Lucky wants him to get the bypass. Luke doesn't expect Lucky to understand...Comparing his drug addiction to Luke's heart attack...Luke asks him for advice. Cue special music. I missed the advice 'cause I doing something else...My recaps SUCK today. Tracy is rubbing Luke's hand/arm...Luke is telling her about Lucky's insight. (Tracy asked). She wants to know what's it gonna be? Surgery or no surgery? Monica comes in. His vitals are dangerously low. He needs the surgery tonight. End show. Previews: In GH. Lulu, with Bobbie, telling Skye, "My dad needs an operation tonight." Cut to Luke's room. Monica: We're running out of time. Luke: I'll be back. Shot of Tracy's face. Cut to OR. Monica all gowned up, monitor beeping. Epiphany: "We're losing the patient!" Luke face, bright light. Sorry these weren't so good guys! I got too much going on in my mind right now...

After that mega-OT post, I thought I'd bring over some pretty. Created this last night: <breathing> hooked, this was the first time I asked her for the letter of reference. The other thing was an informal observation to include in my Assessment of Student Learning online portfolio. This is bigger, more important, and at the latest, I should have brought it up at the end of November when the student teaching experience was coming to an end. And I didn't. Chances are that I'll be fine tomorrow night after I update her on how the interview went. If it's anything like our usual conversations, it'll just be part teaching/professional and the other part real life/friends...I like that part better! It's more fun, and I can relax! It's just right now that I'm all, "OMG, OMG, OMG <breathe>" BTW, I've decided to change the font again - Haha.

remos, thanks, but I need things to go well tomorrow morning. hooked, thanks! Tracy!Tuesday is definitely a good sign, right? TL, thank you! Glad you had fun last night! OFF TOPIC Ready!Set!Ramble! Feel free to SCROLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL. While I have 2 reference letters (or rather 1, and 1 on the way...), I needed a third. I had been hesitant to ask my CT and stupidly, kept putting it off. I mean things were going so well at the very end. She brought in a beautiful cake, gave me this gorgeous scarf (I brought in treats too and had gifts for her as well; just so this doesn't sound one-sided - haha). And everything was just so happy and cute and I didn't want to screw it up by making the request. Anyway, I just called her, hoping I'd catch her on her break. I did, and everything's set, but I sort of feel "ugh" about it. I mean, I did NOT request it by tomorrow, or even this week (that would've been incredibly foolish, desperate, unprofessional, etc, etc, etc). I said the New Year (which actually still might not be a fair amount of time, since my first reference had 2 months). I mentioned it's not just so much for this specific position, but rather future positions. She agreed it was a good thing to have, said she could have it the week after next, and she wants me to call her tomorrow to let her know how the interview went, so that's good. However, I just felt like the whole conversation (about one minute) went in circles. I was repeating myself and talking in half-sentences. I don't know what more embarrassing; that I talked like that or that I had written out what I wanted to say beforehand and still talked like that. Anyway, she made a point to agree with the fact that this is probably the busiest time of the year and worst time to request something like this, and now, I'm kind of feeling sad about that. Am I just being Staci?!? Overacting, over-analyzing self?! Why is this pissing me off so much?!

That letter is hilarious!!! A bit sad in that it's got to be what goes through Guza's mind, but still hilarious! Looking forward to the LuNacy today!!! OT, but hooked, the interview is tomorrow morning. It might be my last chance to get a full time (although temporary) teaching position this upcoming semester. I am SO nervous. <breathes> Aww, Keith, no birthday thread?! What's up with that?!

Remos, they weren't mentioned in my post because no one had asked about them when the insider was around. Hooked, I checked the IL, and it seemed as though all the questions that were asked at that time were pertaining to NYE, so I guess we will see if he/she meant NYE or Xmas for LuNacy...I would assume NYE, but it is a bit unclear.

Have fun tonight, TL, and buena suerte with all the projects/papers/portfolios... I guess Kate's, but hers is better. SD has supposed info. about NYE - No mentions of Tracy/Luke, but I guess no one asked earlier. Actually, I take that back. Someone asked about them after the insider left. Anyhoo, here's what was posted so far: Is there even room for LuNacy?

Thanks hooked! So, we guessed (or rather hoped) for 4 days, and we're getting 3. Not too bad. So, with the 2 days last week, 3 this week, and 2 next, that brings us to 7...Christmas will bring us to 8. And NYE will bring us to 9 (assuming she's on). We're expecting 11, right? Of course, that Episode Count insider has already been proven wrong for some of the characters, but here's hoping he/she got Tracy's amount right. *figures this out* She'll have to be on 2 of the following days: 12/26, 12/27, and 12/28 to make it 11 if I'm doing this right.. Also, per SI, Oh, hey, is the heaven part on Wed. too? Lainey, I don't think that's right, 'cause the same group of spoilers say that As for SOC, I'll show the LuNacy love in the "I Heart LuNacy" thread, but I've debated sooo much over there in the past, and while I was quite proud of myself, LOL, it's not something I want to get into this weekend. So, I think I'm gonna stay out of the LnL vs. LuNacy topic... EDIT: Totally OT, but yesterday I got my haircut, and my mother is totally in love with it, and she's like, "This is the smartest thing you've ever done." And I was like, "Wow...Says a lot about what you think of my life, doesn't it?" We both laughed, but I was thinking, "Hmm..."

TracyLuv, this is what I "collected" for you. Note: A lot of it's repetitive. Also, most of this, if not all of it, is in this thread (however, it's not all clumped together in one post). ABC Spoilers: ABC Hotsheet: Canadian TV Guide: Tuesday, December 11th: RavenBeauty: Soap Opera Weekly: Soap Opera Digest: ABC Promo 12/10: I think that covers it. Let's hope it last for more than just a couple days! With all those articles AND the promo, one would assume it'd be a whole week deal, but we shall see.

^^^ I just came over to post that. I hope the stuff about the montage is true and not just someone making up spoilers...'cause you know that happens...a lot. But the second (third?) operation confuses me too. EDIT:

The teacher in me wants to summarize my other post. As of right now, this is what we know. Tracy is on 2 days the week of the 17th. Wednesday 3 scenes total. 2 with Luke 1 with Luke and Cassius Friday 5 scenes total. 2 with Luke 2 with Luke, Dillon, and Lulu 1 with Luke and Leo Hey, is she not going to the funeral?! I guess considering the way she treated Georgie a lot of the time, it might be seen as strange, but still...That girl was her daughter-in-law. Again, this is "as of right now." We don't have scene counts for Tracy or Dillon individually, so who knows? Maybe she'll have some scenes with him on Wednesday and Thursday...Or am I being too hopeful? BTW, Cassius is that guy who came in to take Luke for the tests yesterday.

Some scene information for the week of the 17th... EDIT: Incoming information... No LuNacy on Thursday (it's all Skye, Lucky, and Lulu). However (this is a good "however"), we do get LuNacy on Wednesday and more on Friday than I thought... Here are Luke's scenes for the week of the 17th:
