Ms. Quartermaine

At the risk of being late... MinervaFan, thanks for bring up the pot meets kettle thing. I was expecting that too. remos, IA agree on the smile/laugh. Regency, here, used to be very good at catching every single one of those. TL, thanks for digging up the transcript. POSSIBLE SPOILERS... You know what? I would post, but I really have to go!!! hooked, search SoapDish, you'll find 'em. Then, you can post 'em here.

Wow. Party in the thread. Colette's recap covers it. 3 scenes, for those wondering. ASSORTED COMMENTS I had to laugh at Tracy's "Is he drunk" comment. Typical. Loved her propping herself up when she found out about the heart attack, and I, too, loved Scott helping her up. Tracy talking so fast about her purse and where it could be was well done. Nice delivery on JE's part. Tracy's like, "Talk to me, Luke." Emily, "Don't talk. It might give you another heart attack." Tracy: "Don't talk! I'm sorry I told you talk." It was something along those lines, but I loved JE's delivery (again). The "Spanky, Spanky, Spanky" as Luke was all out breath was soooo sad. I didn't care for repeated widow line. The first time was enough. Sweet moment with the pill under the tongue. Luke squeezed out a "Go to hell" to Scotty, not once, but twice. Again, typical. LOL. Scott cracked me up with defibrillator when he asked if Emily was going to shock him. Emily said Luke's heart rate returned to normal, and Scott had this attitude, "Normal?! I just risked my life for nothing?!" Short, but nice line by Tracy, telling Luke to hold on until they can get some help. Loved all the touching (hand on his shoulder, holding his hand). Aww. I hope we get some LuNacy lovin' tomorrow. Heart-felt exchanges, that sort of thing. Maybe we'll get some before and after Nik, Logan, Lucky, and Sam all enter the room. (Why are all 4 of them there, anyway?!)

Breakroom? http://pub13.bravenet.com/chat/show.php/1049349012 Colette, on a floppy disc somewhere, I have the original version of the eulogy. It was printed in Soaps In Depth before it aired. I wonder if the one we saw was changed by JE, the writers, or both? Either way, it was a good one, and JE delivered it wonderfully. Glad you were able to see it. EDIT: I must have dug it up before, 'cause I just did a search and found both eulogies in the thread: GO TO THIS POST.

He's called her "Tracy" before. Not as much as Spanky, Spankybuns, Popsicle, Wife, etc, but just on Friday, a little after her nervous laugh, he said, "Tracy, I'm serious." Also, the ILY last year, he said, "I love you, Tracy." And then a week earlier, he said, "I come to you. To you, Tracy." There has to be other times, though, I can't come up with them off the top of my head. Good luck with the cleaning, remos. knh, hope you're having a good day. hooked, if you're around earlier tonight, post a link!

TL, sorry about the job at the theater. Hopefully, the strike is over soon. knh, how's this? Colette, I like your avatar too! POSSIBLE SPOILERS Question: Answer: Question: Answer: Clue: Answer: Clue: Answer: Question: Answer: What do we think?

Special Announcement: It's November 11th. It's knh's BIRTHDAY!!!

ILTQ, thanks for the link! I liked it a lot! bsg, I will email it to her. Announcement (haha): I have changed my avatar and banner - I wanted to use the most recent LuNacy scenes, but as TL mentioned, there are no "professional" caps out yet. I didn't feel like making my own, so I chose this banner/avatar combo. Jane is SO pretty!!!

Working on weekly reflections, schedules, lesson plans, but I have decided to take a break to say... THANKS FOR THE CLIPS, COLETTE. Also, thanks nex for editing/uploading them the first time here. And thanks to Geena for posting the episode at HG in the first place. TL, I so that picture. Love it! Love it! Love it! I hope there are more to come!!! So. Adorable. I am being such a fangirl about this, but I can't help it. I shall SQUEE for as long as I want! SQUEE!!!

Clips that people seem to be missing: 10-17-07 http://www.sendspace.com/file/grg1gh Credit Trudy (from HellaGood). Edited by me. 10-24-07 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8GO5XP7K Credit CaziGirl (from YouTube). Special thanks to hooked for posting these. WELCOME HOME, HOOKED! TL, that is adorable. nex, thanks for yesterday's clips! GO SUPPORT LUNACY. Colette, would you be able to post 10-2-07 and 10-15-07 for me?

TL, I didn't mention it, 'cause I do Tracy!Recaps only. And yes, we've totally lost count of the kisses. That's a good thing though!!! Breakroom, anyone? I know it's early, but I'm exhausted and will probably be in bed within the hour. http://pub13.bravenet.com/chat/show.php/1049349012 Oh, I forgot to put this in my recap, but when he said, "Right back at ya," Luke added a "Mama" to that. I'm surprised TL didn't remind us that he said that, LOL.

OT: Oh my God. I just realized I've worn my shirt backwards the entire day.

Editing this in... remos and I post just posted at 2:49!!! You know what's strange? This happened last night too (at 8:32) with me and TL! What are the chances?! End of edit. Tracy!Friday Recaps: I've just watched once, so these might not be as detailed as usual. I got some help from GHH2. Scene Count: 4 for her. 6 for Luke. Hair/Wardrobe/Make-Up: She looked fabulous for having just been caught in the storm 2 hours ago. She took her necklace off, BTW. Scene 1: Tracy, covered with a blanket, is complaining about the house and about her back. Luke offers her more brandy. She's all, "I had enough." Luke goes to drink it, but then Tracy decides she wants some after all. Scott wants some too, but Luke says it's for medicinal purposes only (as Luke, himself, takes a drink). Scott doesn't understand why he's the bad guy here. Luke says he's not a bad guy. He's worse. He's a whiner who goes on and on...They're bickering. Scott leaves to get some booze. He'll take his chance with the killer out there. Luke sits near Tracy. She tells him he was particularly brutal. Luke is pleased. He tells her "Alone at last..." He kisses her hand around here, IIRC. Scene 2: Tracy tells Luke this is no time for romance 'cause she can't move. He wants her to listen then. He tells her he almost got into it with Scott, but then he realized that they had hated each other for so long that he couldn't remember why. Scott's annoying, but all this arguing is wasting his time. It's not going to bring Laura back. Tracy says he still has hope. Luke tells her what he has is denial. Tracy is all, "I just have a bad back. You don't have to lie to me like I'm on my death bed." Luke tells her that he's serious. Tracy's changed him. It kicked him out of the rut he was in. No matter where he goes, he has a reason to come home because of Tracy. (We don't get to see Tracy's reaction to this 'cause GH's directors or whoever are evil). OK. EDITING AGAIN - Rewatched. I was a bit off. He said: "You give me something I didn't have before, a reason to come back." Commentary: This was kind of a repeat of the November 7, 2006 line - "I come home to you." (Maybe not a repeat after all then). Scene 3: Tracy doesn't like when Luke abandons her. She has reservations of what he is doing and with whom. All that said, she is glad he duped her into marrying her. Luke says it was the smartest con he ever did. Commentary: This was kind of a repeat of the April 24, 2007 line - "Marrying you was probably the smartest thing I ever did." Somewhere around here LUKE GETS INTO THE BED WITH TRACY (who is so cute with her blanket) AND IS SNUGGLING WITH HER, ALMOST. As Tracy continues to talk, Luke kisses her cheek/ear. He's right next to her in the bed!!! SO CUTE!!! [/fangirl] So, Tracy's saying that he swindled her out of millions, but he makes her feel alive. You are frustrating, infuriating, and fabulous! Commentary: Sound familiar? Again, reminiscent of the April 16, 2007 line - "You make me a feel alive..." Luke tells her "Right back at ya." So, Tracy's still in pain because Luke drank all the booze. Enter Scott, who's been looking for the booze. He can't find anymore. Tracy's all, "That's impossible. This is the Cassadine's..." Scott admits to getting lost, trying to find the ballroom. (All this time, Luke and Tracy are being all snuggle bunny like in front of Scott. Some kisses too). Now, Luke makes note of the fact there is no booze, and he is leaving to find some. Tracy goes "Hold it!" She's not stupid. She knows he's going to find Zucchini. Luke doesn't deny it and leaves. Scene 4: Scott and Tracy are in the room together. As we guessed, Scott gives her a hard time about Luke. He wants to know what she sees him in. Tracy refuses to explain. Scott insists Luke is taking advantage of her and the Quartermaines. Tracy tells Scott what his problem is: He is pining away for the love he thought he had with Laura. Scott tells her that Luke is conning her. Tracy says she's not living in the past and neither is Luke.

Re: Clips - I can speak for all of us, but I, personally, don't have: Tuesday, October 2, 2007: Tracy goes to Carly for help about Lulu. Monday, October 15, 2007: Tracy and Luke discuss Lulu for the 123,402,320th time. Monday, October 29, 2007: Tracy and Luke are invited to the ball. Of those, I believe nex (CONGRATS ON 400, BTW) posted the first 2; I just never downloaded them. nex was out of town for the 29th, IIRC, and I have sadly been slacking on my editing duties. BTW, not watching GH, but SD said it's a LuNacy bonding day and SZ said, Re: The introduction - I didn't even know a different character said it each day. I guess that's what happens when I'm not watching the show. EDIT: I have no idea where this was taken, but it looks to be recent (maybe it's not as recent as I thought since Scott is pictured, but who knows)? Anyway, posted on SD, here it is!!! They are all SO ADORABLE together. Aren't they? I like that JE and JT are standing next to each other, especially since JT recently said he would like to work with her.

Colette, I am missing clips myself or else I would upload them. The ones of the Kelly's scenes were never posted here. hooked sent a link out via email but the file played audio only (no picture). I am also missing a day around the time Luke returned as well as Carly/Tracy/Ghost!Alan Day. Do you know what happened in the clip that wasn't related to Luke's arrival? Even though I'm missing a few, I might have the one you're looking for. So, according to SoapDish, Jane Elliot just appeared in the background on a report ABC 7 Los Angeles did about the writer's strike. If a clip is ever posted, I guess it would be here: http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/front For those wondering, Tony Geary was being interviewed. He and Jane were both in street clothes. Tyler Christopher was also in the background but had his Nikolas wardrobe on, apparently. My comment: I'm looking forward to tomorrow. 1) It's Friday. 2) Tracy's on. Even if the scene is just 30 seconds long, at least we're getting it.

So, let me get this straight. Luke had been on every single day since the ball started (actually since before that), but the moment Tracy arrives, GH decides to have him offscreen for a episode?! We all know her airtime is dependent on his. There should have been a "no Luke day" BEFORE Tracy showed up. :angry:

Before going to bed, just want to say Happy LuNacy Day! I thought after last year's November 7th episode and today's that this date should be a LuNacy holiday. What do you all think?! I'm not nuts, BTW. Just LuNy for LuNacy!!! (Who came up with that again?) Oh wait!!! Was it me who came up with: "This little LuNatic will love LuNacy Forever?!" Perhaps, I'm am nuts. But just a little. Night all!

Gracias for the recap, Colette. My comments: Ready!Set!Random... _ _ _ _ _ _ Woo hoo! She did arrive with a necklace. I didn't like the idea that Tracy wore diamonds to breakfast but not to a ball, so I was glad to see the jewelry. I'm guessing she takes the necklace off later for one reason or another. So glad we have an explanation for her flattened hair next week. After today, unless they find a blow dryer and a brush, no way is Tracy's hair going to look good. Her outfit looked WAY better today than it does in the pics. Tracy's got make-up all around her eyes!!! Looks like that's gone in the media pics. Hmm, SID was wrong. They said broken leg. Today, she said it was her back. Stair scene totally didn't play out as I thought. Well, maybe the first part where it was kind of like, "Is anyone here?!" But the rest was definitely not how I expected. Plus, Luke and Scott really didn't find her. She screamed the longest scream ever, and then in the next scene, Luke, Scott, and Cooper ran over. Or maybe Cooper didn't come until the next scene... So, wait. She said she was in the shed for an hour and a half. So how did she arrive?! This doesn't make sense. Because she'd have to arrive on the same boat as Sonny, so that means, she'd have to be in the shed for like 5 hours. How much did I FLOVE the 2 long kisses? Eeeeee!!!! Those scenes will have to make it into videos some day. Tracy wants a bucket of brandy. Why am I not surprised?! They are so. not. trapped. Scott was able to leave and get them some wine. Wonderful of Luke to say he wouldn't leave her, yet Liar. I liked Georgie being concerned. If Luke is not on tomorrow for like the first time ever since the ball started, I'm going to be mad. Luke's been on all along. Let's keep him on because if he's on tomorrow, Tracy will be too. CLICK HERE for a screencap of Tracy that was posted on SoapDish. Our girl is NOT happy. CLICK HERE for part of the LuNacy kiss.

Still guessing Thursday for Tracy's appearance. Better 7 hours late than never, right? Or maybe she'll be around tomorrow!!! We seem to have good luck with Wednesday's. Here's to hoping! I'm going to put a positive spin on this: It's always wonderful to see Tracy, but seeing Tracy after several consecutive non-Tracy days will be EXTRA wonderful. How'd I do? Confirmation regarding : It's true. According to SOD, . From the actress herself: Positive spin? ONE YEAR AGO: Luke announced his plans to remarry Laura, just as Tracy entered: Just in case it slipped your mind in all the excitement, you are married. To me.

Will respond to the other posts later after the seminar, but just wanted to say Keith, I wasn't trying to scold you - hence the . I know you're not watching GH anymore (either am I except for Tracy's 2 scenes each week, so I don't blame you there at all). And I really am glad you stopped in.

Addie, the link is not working. But I have read something about that, and it's always good to hear JE praise. Looking forward to the YT clips. knh, I would help with the story, but student teaching got like a million times harder today. I'm no longer allowed to use pre-printed materials and have to find (and or create) my own. I've made some in the past but not for every single lesson! This is definitely going to be a challenge, especially since almost all of the online exercises I've found are ones she found first and emailed to the students. I wonder if I can still use them? 'Cause it's not like all the kids do the online practice. I could copy/paste them into Word, right? Gah. I don't know... (sorry - venting) Keith, I know you are the King of super short posts, and I should be thankful you stopped by, but WHAT KIND OF POST IS THAT, BUDDY?!? "Hi" to you too. We do miss you, you know. Breakroom? http://pub13.bravenet.com/chat/show.php/1049349012 (I'll be up past 10 tonight - Haha. No student teaching tomorrow - Student teaching seminar instead. The best part?! I get to be up at 7:15 instead of 5:15).

Hmm, some people from SZ are predicting Alexis gets airlifted out via a helicopter that Tracy arrives in. That's circa Wednesday. That's certainly better than Friday, but I'm not feeling too optimistic. Sean, I am going to guess she'll be on the tail end of Thursday ( ) and then Friday, into next week. I guess it could be worse. Poor Monica and Edward don't get to go the ball at all. LOL nex. Aren't they CUTE? Haha. Colette, withdrawal, indeed. I thought about making a banner with some eerie looking stairs and saying, "Tracy, the stairs are waiting for YOU" or something lame like that. But then, I decided against it.

^^^ I'm not sure, but someone said "STFU Luke" on SoapZone. So, it's possible he was giving an idiotic speech. I REALLY, REALLY hope Tracy is onscreen tomorrow. I'm tired of waiting. Anyone considering writing the magazines as to why Edward, Monica, and Tracy (pretend we don't know she's coming) are not at a ball in honor of Alan QUARTERMAINE?! <-- Me. BSG, TL, and hooked, enjoy yourselves tonight! (it is tonight, right?) EDIT: GUESS WHO HAD FUN WITH PHOTOSHOP?! :D http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b33/Ms_Q...thPhotoShop.jpg

Please let Tracy be on by the end of the episode! This is just stupid now. 4 hours late?! Or has she been there the last 2 hours, wandering around Wyndemere? You know, if she's not on today, I'm going to guess and say she won't be until Thursday (and then into Friday) this week. I better be wrong. EDIT: NO TRACY. Maybe tomorrow? *getting impatient*

While I was planning for next week and answering these questions for the student teaching seminar, it came to my mind that . Strange, I know. I was supposed to be so focused on my work, but somehow I end up thinking about But think about it: but it's just speculation. What do you all think? About the SZ spoilers: Those details are just her take on the spoilers that have been spilled already, aren't they? I like the way she words things because it's interesting, but at the same time, it's not always how it plays out. TL, BSG, IluvAandM, and Addie, do any of you plan to be in the breakroom tonight? EDIT: Per recaps of the "Scrubs" event, Jason Thompson would like to work with Jane Elliot.

I've been out and about for hours now and no new posts?! hooked, I miss you already! You keep the thread moving! Haha.
