Ms. Quartermaine

LOL remos, I already have a ton of ideas...So, really, you guys wouldn't have to think at all. I can just post them. Ok, I wish I wasn't so perfectionistic (BTW, I just found out that was a real word like 2 months ago - Haha). I feel the need to make all my drabbles 100 words?! They can go over, but yet, I'm so set on the 100 word thing. It's making me crazy!!!! LOL.

Final Assessment Portfolio Thingie has been submitted! Resume and copies (on the good paper) are in a folder! Yeah! Not much discussion at all about our girl on SoapDish this weekend. I am hoping for 2 days next week (or more, of course)! I am thinking about doing a Best of Tracy Quartermaine this year. I wanted to do something similar last year (but never went through with it). In any case, ideas could be "Best Dramatic Episode," "Best Comedic Episode," "Best Speech," "Best Hair" (I had to!!!), that sort of thing. If we needed help remembering, I could post some nominations. Or we can all post nominations. Just something to keep the thread moving along (especially if we don't get a lot of Tracy this month). Anyone up for it?

Added another drabble ("Tracy has a bad hair day") - How could I resist that one?! Haha. I have good news!!! My throat is not on fire anymore. Yay! I mean, the other symptoms of a cold have arrived, but at least the "I can't swallow my saliva" pain is pretty much gone. Question: It's fine to put a resume on regular computer paper, isn't it? My dad wants me to go to OfficeMax and have copies made on this fancy, expensive stuff, but it almost seems pointless if the resume is just gonna end up in a folder somewhere in a filing cabinet...But what do I know? BSG and Colette, congrats on 200! Lainey, congrats on 400! knh, did I thank you for the scans? If not, thanks!!! Love all that LuNacy and Jane goodness.

Colette, I was wondering if Luke was in the bed as well. I was thinking it would be sort of funny if she threw that at him...Though I don't think she would. Maybe once he's better. I've posted to the drabble-thon. Told myself "Not until I finish my online portfolio assessment thing," but I couldn't resist the urge to write something.

Aww, MinervaFan, you are so sweet. That drabblethon is such a great idea. I'm so tempted to write something, but I told myself I wouldn't until I finish my online assessment thingambob. remos, it's speculation. The original post seemed to pop out of nowhere, and Carrie was just speculating a possible scenario. Less than 1 second in - Our girl is in the SoapNet promo. For about .05 second total. She's expressing frustration (like flipping Luke's chart onto the bed; almost kind of, maybe, sort of throwing it). It's so fast. It sounds like it hits something, or it might just be the sound of paper. So hard to tell...And she's either very, very angry and about to cry, or just very, very angry...I cannot believe I've analyzed this that much. Here is the link: http://youtube.com/watch?v=KGvTnVUEh4c

My throat still hurts. Though I expected it to... knh, looking forward to the scanned articles. hooked, thanks for the 411. I don't like that outfit, LOL, but thanks for the links. IluvAandM, hope you are having fun! Colette, question about the pics in the article...The one with $20 bill, was the magazine saying that was the dialogue from the scene? Or were they just making up a caption? I only ask 'cause that scene never aired. The pic was a media pic that never made it to the screen... *hate when that happens* Found this last night; I had never seen it before: Also, I FLOVE her hair here: Finally, I think I've seen this one, but she looks so different!!! Is it the hair? The lighting?

remos, oooh, you know we're going to expect LuNacy stories from you all the time now, right? Loved your latest piece. MinervaFan, I could totally picture a scene like that. Too cute. I refuse to call the comment line 'cause it's long distance, and I don't have the money. I can possibly send another letter to SOD though. And hooked, you're right. They'll count everyone you mention, so stick to the characters you like. OT, but for those who don't know, today was my last day of student teaching. I still have an online portfolio thing to wrap up, but that's pretty much it. Very, very scary. And sad. I started crying on the way home today. Like that heavy, ugly "I can be on a soap" cry - Haha. I had to stop though, so I could see the road. Still feeling sort of sad, but I'm sick too (Thanks, BTW, who ever cyber-contaminated me with the sore throat - Haha), so that might have something to do with it...Anyway, the OT portion of this post is longer than the other part of it. Will. Stop. Typing. EDIT: From pages ago, but remos, there are times when we've discussed JE being "off" in scenes. And there are times when I find myself questioning her delivery or thinking she's OTT. Hasn't happened recently, but definitely has happened.

Just saying hello and that I'm alive. More than 12 consecutive hours without me posting is a bit rare (). Didn't want to cause alarm.

Got a new banner and avatar! Sorry, my fellow LuNacy fans...I know Luke hasn't been in the last 2 banners. But I gotta spread the Quartermaine love!

She said that? I thought it was just, "Don't be the reason I have to go through a day like this again." Either way, at least we didn't hear the "widow" line.

LINK Mala: I think Emily would want to ride out Natalia Livingston's contract in corporeal form. I'd gamble on THAT. Robert: I'm waiting for Emily to join Alan's ghost on the Q sofa to haunt Tracy. Mala: Ah, but per the GH writers, Alan is a conscience, NOT a ghost. Though, seriously, Emily SHOULD haunt Tracy, who seems to think somebody else's niece died. Robert: If the man who tried to kill his wife three times and murdered someone else is the "conscience" of that family, then they're in trouble. Robert: Okay, I think Logan and Tracy's sunglasses beat Bobbie's. Mala: Oh, look, Tracy suddenly has grief. Were they afraid Jane Elliot would outgrieve everybody? 'Cause, seriously, the woman rocks. Robert: Jane Elliot could read the phone book for me. LINK Got anything else going on backstage?? TG is not happy - grumpy would be a good word. Oh, he's grumpy??? Likes working with Jane. Does not like the story. Don't think this has been mentioned yet, but Tracy acknowledged that Emily was her neice today. Not "adopted neice" or "the poor little orphan girl Monica adopted" or the "orphan princess." Though that was nice of her. Of course it was also tactful. And I don't think we should have expected any less from Tracy on a day like today.

Thanks IluvAandM for the recaps! Re: The religion. Queen of Angels is whatever denomination that GH needs it to be. I don't think the Q's are Catholic. Was it remos who said Episcopalian? As far as the innaccuary with the robes go, this is the same show that said there was a coast of Bolivia. So, I'd have to watch again, but Tracy didn't look very upset to me in the funeral scenes. Not that she would be having an emotinal breakdown over Emily's death or anything, but I just wasn't "feeling" the sadness from her during the actual memorial. Ned/Tracy/Dillon was too short, but at least we got it!!! I thought maybe GH had forgotten that they were related (haha), but good thing they didn't. Thought her line to Ned, "I hope I die before I have to bury another one of my family members" was very sad. Hmm, what else? Sort of wished Tracy returned the ILY to Dillon. And did anyone else think for moment that there was going to be another group hug? Look at JE's hand placement. Maybe I am seeing things wrong, but I was totally expecting a repeat of the hotel fire hug. No proposal. I'm beginning to wonder if it's going to happen (though some of the spoilers listed with it were more long term). BUT!!! JE rocked her 45 second or so LuNacy scene. ROCKED IT!!! I am so bummed we have to wait until next week to see them again. We've been so lucky recently. Um, I didn't like Lulu today. Not that I want an all out emotional ILY scene between Tracy and Lulu like the one we got with Carly and Lulu, but the whole "You're the only one who gets me" thing? No. Just no. I think Tracy gets you too, honey. So, who went to the Quartermaines for the reception? Seems like it was the Quartermaines (sans Tracy), Lesley, Bobbie, Mike, and the "extras." Everyone else is elsewhere. I mean, I understand if they want time alone, but it seemed kind of pointless for the Q's to arrange something if hardly anyone was going to show up.

Colette, I know was EWCBO stands for. (I figured out after I got back from Mexico). Was it knh who was asking what it stood for this time around? I can PM you guys. I think TracyLuv came up with it... GQ is Georgie/Dillon (from Georgie Quartermaine). nex, thanks for the clips!!! (even though I like GQ - haha. How dare you not include Tracy's baby in your editing - kidding. ) Breakroom? I think I'm gonna be in bed a little after 9. http://pub13.bravenet.com/chat/show.php/1049349012

Thanks for the recaps, Colette. I'm not obsessed with fashion (unless we count Tracy Quartermaine's wardrobe - Haha), but I liked Lulu's hair. I enjoyed today even though there wasn't much of our girl. And yeah, I thought she looked FABULOUS! So, even though we got a December air date for both Luke and Tracy, I'm still a bit skeptical of those episode counts. remos, I know fans/volunteers don't update the sites all the time, but Kali's site is always on the ball with that sort of thing according to SD. Anyhoo, screentime on December 6th definitely makes things look brighter. So, while I'm still skeptical, I'm not as skeptical as before. Does that make sense? LOL.

OT, but I hate writing super important emails. I have this fear of hitting the send button before the message is "perfect." Ugh. Thanks nex for the clips! For those wondering, someone else (anonymous) on SD confirmed the . If it's happening, it should be soon. Also, the person providing the episode counts said yesterday that Guess we'll see... EDIT: I also noticed the height thing and not thinking JE was that tall (or LC that much shorter). But whoever said the heels vs. flats must have been right (I looked at my banner too...hooked, did you say to do that? LOL).

You're welcome Colette. All of her scenes are rather brief, but I liked them, which seems to be an unpopular opinion on other sites. I don't remember the last time I've seen so much Tracy HATE. knh, even if the DVD's weren't "protected" to prevent copies from being made, I wouldn't be able to post the clips. I don't have the equipment. hooked can give you the link to Jen's site though, and you can buy the DVD. I definitely recommend #3...There's a cute scene with Baby!Dillon and his Mama (Tracy is all, "E is for Elephant" *elephant sound*), and the Tracy/Marco parts are AWESOME!

Brief recap: 5 scenes. Segments 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7. Hair/Make-Up: I liked it even though she looked a bit "harsh" in some scenes. Scene 1: Lucky is screaming/crying/maybe kicking something 'cause he has just learned of Emily's death. Tracy rushes in. Wants him to calm down before he gives Luke another heart attack. Scene 2: Tracy updates Lucky about Luke's condition. Lucky says he just didn't know about Emily, but he doesn't want to anything else to happen to his Dad. Luke thought Lucky knew; he was just going based on what "people" told him. Tracy says she didn't want to worsen his condition by telling him Lucky was unaccounted for. Luke says nothing raises his blood pressure like being lied to. Tracy lets Lucky to take some time to sort all of this through. What happened to Emily was terrible. Luke wants Lucky to stay, but Lucky goes, saying he'll check back later. Luke thought he could trust Tracy. Tracy says she'll do whatever she needs to do to keep him alive. Scene 3: Tracy in the waiting area; sees Monica. Says she shouldn't be working. Says grief needs to be endured, not manage. Monica is pretty much, "You don't have a clue, b-tch (she didn't say that, exactly). You still have her children. 3 of my kids are dead, one of them might as well be, and I lost my husband. Don't tell me how to grieve." Scene 4: Monica comes into Luke's room to give her opinion. Luke expresses his condolences. Monica is like, "I'm here to be a doctor." If he doesn't want to hear what she's going to say, she can leave; she has plenty of other patients. Tracy is like, "Fine, go." Luke wants Monica to stay and tell him what she thinks. Monica agrees with Dr. Julian's prognosis. If he doesn't get the quadruple bypass, he will probably die. Scene 5: Luke starts to unhook himself from all the monitors. Tracy comes in; he tells her she's leaving. Tracy is calm at first, rushing over to Luke, telling him in needs a quadruple bypass. Luke screams at her. It's his heart. He'll decide if it gets cut open. Tracy raises her voice, "Get into that bed." She might be almost holding him. Goes on to tell him, "Remember at Wyndemere where you said you loved me (um, that didn't happen), said you always think about me, said I was the smartest choice you've ever made? If you meant even a fraction of what you said, you will get into that bed."

~ 2004 "Tracy" Breakdown ~ Hotel fire, which had, I'd guess 15 consecutive episodes of our girl. Aftermath of hotel fire (Tracy/Edward/Ned/Skye/Luke). Tracy tries to make Dillon's life miserable Part 3452 (Tracy/Sage vs. Dillon/Georgie). Tracy finds evidence that incriminates Skye (Tracy/Jax engagement). Lila dies (Quartermaines fight for her estate and $$$ - most virtuous Q takes it all). Murder Mystery at the Quartermaines (Sage and Trent die). Tracy tries to prove to the Quartermaines that Heather is dragging Edward to the altar. Tracy/Helena team up to frame Emily and stop her marriage to Nikolas. Tracy/Skye/Luke/Edward team up to stop Heather. Nikolas/Em get married. Skye/Luke/Dillon/Georgie team up against Tracy. Thanks Sean for the episode count information!

Thanks for that hooked. So sad that LC and SD continue to have such a small amount. I am a bit confused those 'cause the Dever girls aren't playing Molly anymore. Could this list not be true? So, I just watched some of Ned/Jenny/Tracy/Paul #3 edit (thanks hooked and Lady A), and Tracy/Marco hiding together in the bushes - while spying on Jenny and the senator - is hilarious. They are too awesome for words. They are even more entertaining than LuNacy on this DVD (sorry!).

Been overwhelmed this afternoon with all this analyzing pre-and-post test data and self-evaluating that I have to do, but I'm coming here to chime in on the latest "issue" at hand. Please note that I am not addressing anyone in particular, but...You either like Laura or you don't. You either like Genie's acting or you don't. There's no need to bring her weight into it. Some of the comments out there are immature, uncalled for, and I don't like be accused of writing them just because I'm a Tracy fan. Let's not contribute to this madness, please.

Well, that was some action I didn't need to see - Haha. I've seen them in bed before, but just in the same bed, not one on top of the other and kissing. Must have been sooooo strange to go from lovers to mother/son. Only in soaps. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owTwYHdYjzk Here is part of Deidre Hall's Intimate Portrait. Jane's in part of this clip. It seems like she was featured throughout, but unfortunately, the entire episode is not posted - just a minute and a half of it (JE's at the end...No comment on the hair. Just. No. Comment. ). I feel like I've seen part of this clip before, but not sure... remos, I tried to invite 2 of them over, but both are not accepting emails from other members. They'll have to adjust their settings. I guess I could make some sort of mention (re: the settings) in the thread.

The first came from May 2, 2005 (I don't have the clips). The second and third ones came from May 7, 2005 (Clips are here. Credit NeverQuiet). There's some other cute dialogue/expressions in there (i.e "You told me that I couldn't survive without you as my body guard. So now's your chance to walk the walk. Protect me already).

The SoapGods hate me. First, I get accused of being "nasty" on SOC, when I thought I was being polite, all things considered. Question: Why is an LnL fan entering a pro-LuNacy thread? And then, I get a comment on "The Way I Am" ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4tidp3wucs ) stating "Great video, but I hate Luke and Tracy together. Laura is the ONLY ONE for him." Question: Why is an LnL fan watching a pro-LuNacy video? In happier news, guess who's been writing? "Surprise Visit" - From The Missing Scenes. Featuring Tracy, Ned, and Dillon (some Epiphany and Luke). http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2791221/16/The_Missing_Scenes

^^^ I am intrigued too. Hmm... hooked, when you get home, you'll have mail (gmail account).

remos, What Lies Beneath is posted there. Also, I've uploaded scans to this thread at JE Online in August: http://www.jane-elliot.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4 Scroll to "Wedded Blitz." This is the second article hooked mentioned. There's a quote in there: "It's a marriage that shouldn't be, so it'll last forever."
