Ms. Quartermaine

From Soap Opera Digest on TG's return: Why no mention of his WIFE?! :angry: * I got this from SZ, not sure if it should be "kid's life" or "kids' lives."

Someone calm me down. I am not a very happy girl right now (it has nothing to do with GH). Breakroom, please? http://pub13.bravenet.com/chat/show.php/1049349012

Hey all. I'm taking a break from my lesson planning, which is really turning out to be a hassle. hooked, he better stay away from Sonny's house of gloom. Those scenes last September when Sonny had tracked him down for Lulu were so dull IMO. Might be unpopular, but I would rather have Skye in all of this than Sonny and Jason and even Lulu. On SD, someone asked if Tracy would be around for this mob SL. Posters are guessing no. Someone speculated that TG might have complained about his lack of story last year, so to please him, TPTB move him from Q mansion to the mob. Another thing that might be unpopular, but if Luke continues to be a part of Sonny and Jason's hemisphere, and Tracy never gets to play with 'em, then I want Luke and Tracy divorced. Would make NO SENSE to keep them married if they're never around each other.

No comment on the dream, hooked? Lady Ashton, sure seems that way, huh? LOL. About contacting Luke...It's weird. Something similar happened in 2005. Skye ended up finding out he was in Miami and traveling down there. Meanwhile, Tracy also ended up in Miami. In Luke's hotel room no less. I remember that Skye found an earring in the bed of Luke's ransacked hotel room and was all, "Luke, explain this." (She wasn't very happy). Luke said it might've been the maid's. Skye pointed out they were real rubies and diamonds and then realized it was Tracy's. Luke: "My wife is here?!" Cut to Tracy being held for ransom. Anyway, how either of them had ANY idea of Luke's whereabouts? Who knows... Skye might've found something in Lorenzo's place though since Lorenzo was the one to send him on an "errand" that summer. But Tracy, well, she was offscreen from August to October, so I guess she found out then. Here's hoping we get Tracy spoilers soon! Think Luke will show up at the Q mansion? Or will his newfound father's intuition send him straight to Jason's penthouse? Hey, anyone see the newest rumor about JMB and LW possibly getting a summer spin off next year? (Night Shift is not being renewed). Anyway, if it gets Carly and Carly Jr. offscreen of GH, I might have to start campaigning. LOL. HIGH QUALITY CLIPS of Tuesday, September 13th.

Those in the breakroom: I DID have a Tracy dream last night! (No LuNacy – Sorry, TracyLuv)! As usual, I don’t remember many specifics. Tracy was in that same red jacket she wore when she was released from Shady Brook. She had oomphy hair - Of course, I would remember that, right? LOL. The first scene I remember... Took place in the Q mansion. Tracy had been drinking and the Q’s were giving her a hard time about something or other. She might have been upset with Ghost!Alan (not sure). Anyway, she started screaming at them and almost crying, she left the room. SCOTT was there, and he went after her to make sure she was all right. (Hmm, interesting…) The next scene I remember... Didn’t dream the Tracy/Scott actual scene. (Darn!) But, the Q’s were in the den again. Tracy was very drunk now. The Q’s are still bitching, and not in the cool way that they bitch on the show either. All of a sudden, through some kind of door, Monica and some men appear (no idea how Monica got from the den from behind a door). One of the men is RICK WEBBER! He is Ghost!RickWebber though. There is a song playing that goes “Why are you frightened - can’t you see that it’s you That ain’t no ghost - it's a reflection of you.” I think I came across that song when looking for Ghost!Alan video songs many, many months ago, and yes, I realize the song has nothing to do with Ghost!RickWebber. Anyhow, Monica (with short hair like in the 90s) is full of smiles, but I’m not sure if she can see him. It's kind of dark in the section of the room she came out out of, and there might be candles. It’s very weird. Alan can see him and is all WTH. Tracy, too, can see him. She is drunk out of her mind and emotional about something, and she has this whole spiel that I remember nothing of. (Figures...) I think she was really, really losing it. She was going on and on, and I kept thinking “Emmy, emmy – this is gonna get Jane Elliot an Emmy nomination.” LOL. Then, she walked out of the door that Rick and Monica and the other men came in through. But never fear, Tracy was in the previews for the next episode. Later in the dream... I go to the thread, and none of you are posting about the episode, and I am like, “Hmm, what’s up with this?” I also went to SoapDish in my dream, and they were saying that JE was really good at playing an emotional drunk. I guess, when you think about it, on the show, her drunken scenes are usually played for comedy, so I’m not actually sure where my dream came from. But that’s the gist of it. Funny how, even though I couldn’t remember "many" specifics, it still ends up being paragraphs in length. So, am I crazy or what?! LOL. EDIT: Tony Geary returns to the screen on

Thanks for the heads up, Lady Ashton! When you first said "Ms. Q" was quoted, I thought you meant Tracy Quartermaine had been in the quote section or something - Haha. So...SOD edited the hell out of my letter, which I'm cool with except for the part that said Michael, Morgan, Cameron, and Jake got more air time. Wasn't specific enough. Got more airtime WHEN? This entire summer? (no) In the month of August? (yes) That said, kudos to SOD for keeping the TG part in, as well as the lost Shady Brook potential. And of course, kudos to the magazine for publishing my letter. I SOD. Original scan by Lady Ashton. I re-sized it, so I could post it into this thread. Here's the text of the (rather long) letter I sent: As the summer comes to a close, I have to wonder: What happened to Tracy Quartermaine on ABC’s General Hospital? It seems as the fabulous Jane Elliot always disappears during Anthony Geary’s (Luke) long vacations. Why is that? She is much too talented to be sitting on the backburner. As a viewer, I have to ask if there was a point to putting her character in a mental institution. Was it just to get her offscreen? If GH wanted to do that, the writers could have just sent her to Europe again. Why go through all the trouble of tossing Tracy into Shady Brook, straight jacket and all, and not follow through? In my opinion, Tracy Quartermaine, forced into therapy, was a gold mine. It had potential for both dramatic and comedic scenes that Ms. Elliot would no doubt have sunk her teeth into. Unfortunately, this potential all seems to have been wasted. The month of August brought a dismal total of 2 episodes total for Tracy. The children portraying Michael, Morgan, Cameron, and Jake received more. And sadly, September doesn’t look too promising. Is there any chance that the brilliant Ms. Elliot will be back on the canvas soon? I hope so!

Hi all. bsg, sorry I missed ya last night. I was in bed. This going to bed before 10pm thing makes me feel old, LOL. MinervaFan, yay! Glad your supervisor is coming back. hooked, good luck with the cooking. No spoilers. Edit: I lied. My comment: OT: You all know about my teeth problems. Well, like 500 years later, I was scheduled to get the crown put on. Just got back from the office. And guess what? No crown. 'Cause my tooth somehow shifted in the last 3 weeks, and it won't fit. (And believe me, he tried to make it fit - gah, I don't care if the nerve's been removed and the drilling isn't supposed to hurt; it's still not comfortable). So! I get to go back next Friday. (Note: The crown should've been on in JUNE - obviously, that couldn't happen in Mexico, but my dentist office should've at least gotten me in sometime in late July, August). Oh, it gets better. Guess whose insurance is maxed out? I guess that'll happen after close to 12 visits in 6 months (2 of those months I wasn't even in the country - OY). Ohhhhhhh...I wish I got paid for student teaching. Now that I blabbered about that, I bring treats. Those who ordered Jen's Ned/Jenny tapes have seen some of these: Monica dates Dr. Kyle Chandler; Tracy included in clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrEvfdfAcCg The Quartermaines have a board meeting in a GASP actual board room; chaos ensues. Edward, Alan, Tracy, Paul, Scott, Monica, Julia, AJ, Ned, Bill, Scott, and Lucy are all there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9RhrdH_hZ8 The board meeting continues; included - Scott and Lucy cheer while Tracy and Monica go after each other, physically. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4bpF7AjbkQ

LOL Colette. You're welcome. Breakroom for a teeny tiny bit? http://pub13.bravenet.com/chat/show.php/1049349012 If I don't respond right away, it's 'cause I'm making my lunch for tomorrow...

nex, I downloaded the clip too; my guesses are high traffic and the large file size (an entire episode with huge dimensions - was almost 350 megabytes). I made the dimensions 320 by 240 when I edited, but the original wasn't 640 by 480, so the picture comes out as a square, instead of a smaller rectangle. That said, the picture is not distorted. About 25 megabytes, so should download rather quickly. http://www.sendspace.com/file/xp41dh Again, originally clipped by Trudy of HellaGood.

*bangs pots and pans* WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! *bangs pots and pans again* Are you up? Where have the Tracy Quartermaine fans gone?! This thread is much too quiet.

~ Tracy!Wednesday ~ Hair Report: Oomphy. I loved it. hooked, you will love it too. Wardrobe Report: Not made of lacy material as I originally thought; it was velvet or close to it. Summary: 5 scenes IIRC. The Q's are gathered in the den. Edward comes in with some papers. He has to frame Lulu. Scott comes in. Edward wants him to arrest Lulu, so she'll go to court, and the papers he has guarantee the court will release her to the Q's. Scott won't do it. Alice brings up the fact that Luke would be mad if Lulu is arrested. Scott glances at Tracy (it seems) and decides to have Lulu arrested after all. Enter Emily, who wonders if anyone has heard from Lulu. She explains what happened with Logan. Edward blames Tracy for letting Lulu go off with him the night before, and Tracy reminds him that he's the one who said "Take the monkey and run." They are all concerned. Tracy stands up and wants everyone calm. She insists that it would be nice if one of them, not constrained to time or something, could fly around and look for Lulu. (She's obviously talking about Alan). Alan says that's not how it works. Edward wishes he had Jason take out Logan. Monica says just because you don't like someone, you can't have Jason take them out. Edward pretty much says if he has to deal with his grandson being a criminal, then he should get some of the perks. Alan announces that Edward doesn't mean what he is saying; he's just scared. Tracy transfers the message. "Daddy's just scared. He doesn't mean it" (or something similar). Edward: I do mean it (again, not word for word here). Alice wonders if Lulu went to find Luke. Tracy points out that she (Tracy) has no idea where he's at. Later, Tracy calls Lulu's cell, but she doesn't answer. Alan asks if Lulu could've gone to see Dillon. Tracy says Dillon is in Montana on a location shoot. She goes on to talk about Lulu and says she must be so scared and so lonely and that the worst thing in the world (might've not been that phrase) is to get your heartbroken for the first time. Alan made a comment about if she keeps this up, he'll fade. Tracy goes back to talking about Lulu getting her heart broken. She's not counting Dillon. Yes, he and Lulu slept together, and she got pregnant (Alan reminds her of the ELQ condoms; Tracy has no remorse for that; Alan isn't going anywhere now) BUT even though Dillon is young and stupid, he did not use Lulu like Logan did. Tracy knows what's it's like to be humiliated and lied to. Alan notes that Tracy has never found the man worthy of her. Tracy tells him that Luke is, and now, she's let him down.

No worries, tracyluver. Sean, thanks for the info! That's a lot sooner than I thought. Now, let's hope he returns that Monday and not Friday - Haha. Colette, thanks for the recap! Breakroom? http://pub13.bravenet.com/chat/show.php/1049349012

It's true!!!!. As soon as I read nex's post, I ran upstairs to watch for myself! Unfortunately, it's more Lulu propping, but at least she's ON!!! Basically, Emily and Nikolas are at the Q's (Monica and Edward are visible too). Emily asks if anyone has heard from Lulu, and a concerned Tracy wants to know what happened. Wardrobe Report: NEW OUTFIT! I couldn't see the whole thing, but the top from I can remember is almost kind of made of lacy material; there are 2 colors to it: pink and red. I didn't like the collar. Hair Report: Only saw one side, but it looked oomphy enough. hooked, Day 2 seemed much longer, but I got to do some grading (which was so much more fun when it wasn't a "job" - Haha). Tomorrow, during one of the student lunch periods, I get to help the student council with elections. Next week, I begin teaching. I've taught before down at ISU (not for more than 3 consecutive days though), so we'll see how this goes...

You're welcome, Sean, and I hope so too! I want the Q's to have something to do that doesn't involve Lulu though. You didn't miss us, hooked Or rather, you didn't miss a conversation. I was there alone for about 20 minutes before signing off and going to bed. tracyluver, hope nothing bad happened! So, I dreamt about the breakroom last night. nex, TL, and REGENCY were in there!!! Regency, I miss you!!! And hooked, it amuses me that you weren't around 'cause you ALWAYS are in real life - Haha. I guess this means you are not worthy of my breakroom dreams. LOL. remos, good to hear from you! Lainey, I am blaming you for remos' addiction to Star Trek FanFic.

BSG, welcome back!!! Glad your computer is fixed! tracyluver, I'm in the BR now. Congrats on finishing the paper! http://pub13.bravenet.com/chat/show.php/1049349012 Sean, I haven't heard anything either unless you count an anonymous poster at SoapDish. Grain of salt and all that. This was posted today: . Gah; if true, his vacations get longer and longer, don't they? Another rumor:

OT: Well, the first official day of student teaching has been completed. I'm still observing/assisting, but I got to stand outside the hall and smile and say "Hola" to students as they entered. And I got to enter numbers into the computer (not grades, but these numeric codes for progress report comments). Oh, and I'm not as tired as I thought I was going to be, though I bet I'll be in bed early. Glad I could entertain with the dialogue. I miss Tracy already

hooked, Lady A, and TL, I remember where I heard the word "verklempt" from! It was in a GH satire I read a couple summers ago. It's on a floppy somewhere. Should upload it. It's good for some laughs. Song is Requiem for a Dream (composers and all that are credited at the end of the video). Many thanks for the nice comments! Semi-OT: hooked, I feel like I'm growing up all of a sudden! Car payments and checking accounts and student teaching all in the span of 2 days!!! Waaaaaaaah! Too bad I don't get paid for student teaching. Oh, in light of "growing up," I was reminiscing (ooh, I spelled that right the first time) earlier and going through junior high school yearbooks. I realized one of my 8th grade teachers looked like Jane Elliot!!! Well, kind of. The picture, second to the left in my banner; she looked almost exactly like that! Pretty strange, but also very cool. LOL. Oh, I just remembered something else I wanted to post. Heather is Susan's cousin. And Susan was Jason's mother. And Edward married Heather. So, he married his grandson's cousin (well, second cousin)...Still, that sounds a little too close for comfort.

Links to the fictional promo have been added to my previous post (some of you might have realized I was having technical difficulties). knh, Elizabeth and Jason are not related. Heather's maiden name is not Webber; it's Grant. She became a Webber when she married Jeff (Elizabeth's father), but they are no longer together. I guess things get a bit "eww" though because Elizabeth's half-brother is Jason's cousin's son, but there's no blood relation between Jason and Liz. I had a whole explanation about Jeff and Steve and Susan and a bunch of other characters, but I started getting confused.

If anyone wants a better quality Tracy clips from Friday, CLICK HERE. Lulu/Logan are also in there. Credit Trudy of Hella Good. Those who have an account there, if you use these clips, post a thanks in the daily clips thread. MagicHappens, so you think GH will really bring up Tracy/Scott's past? I hope so. I want to see Luke's reaction. But I'm not sure if the writers remember... TRACY IS BACK - PROMO (fictional) SENDSPACE: http://www.sendspace.com/file/gxew6k MEGAUPLOAD: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=S1WL4WPC YOUTUBE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfdTWji5KP4 ^^^ Wasn't as simple as I thought it would be. Hard to choose which scenes to include. And for the record, music playing in the background of scenes that clashes with the music I'm using is just. not. cool. Anyway, hope you all like it. Could you imagine, hooked? Alan: She wasn't married when I did her. Monica: There's more. Before all of that, she was Tracy's ex-husband's mistress. Lulu: Wait, what? Awkward pause... Lulu: Any other secrets? Monica: *looks over to Tracy and Scott* Tracy: No. No. Don't even. Lulu: What's going on? Scott: Ohhhh... Tracy: Don't. Monica: Scott did your stepmother! Lulu: Ewww... Scott: And if Ned were here, he'd tell you he walked in on us on a desk at ELQ... Edward: Oh God. Lulu: *covering ears* Stop! Tracy: *gets revenge on Monica* Monica slept with Ned! Lulu: OMG!!! Monica: Um, Tracy's husband slept with Ned's wife! Scott: Now, I didn't know that. Tracy: Scott slept with Heather Webber! Alan: Like Lulu cares... Lulu: Heather who?! Monica (at the same time as Edward): Edward's former wife. Edward (at the same time as Monica): Jason's cousin! Lulu: Wait. You married someone else after Lila?! Edward: It's complicated...She wanted my money, so she could run off with--Never mind. Tracy: No, no, Daddy tell her. Edward: (to Lulu) She wanted your father. Lulu: Ewww!!! Why?! Tracy: 'Cause he slept with her once, and she wanted more... Lulu: You all like to keep it in the family, huh? Tracy: Says the girl who slept with her stepbrother... Ahh, I could go on and on... Edited to add in video links...

Been out most of the day; breakroom, anyone? http://pub13.bravenet.com/chat/show.php/1049349012

So, I am editing the original post I made to keep it condensed. hooked, OT, but babysitting was fine, though I don't think I'm EVER going to serve my children spaghetti. Thanks nex for the clips! On the topic of clips, HERE IS THE SECOND TQ SCENE of the episode. Credit Izzy. Thanks Colette for the recap! Some comments: About that one line: Not sure if went from wanting to protect Lulu to save her marriage because I want to say Tracy only said it to guilt Lulu into staying away from Logan. It was Alan's idea that she do that. She was telling her to listen to reason, and then Alan was all "Forget reason, do ________" (can't remember, but it was something with Luke). Alan did have some line about Luke returning to the Q's (and therefore Tracy) no matter WHERE Lulu lives...That sounds kind of promising for LuNacy, doesn't it? Oh, and Tracy threatening to chain Lulu to a chair, even if she was sort of joking, was not just cool. Our girl would've have fared better today, I think, if she weren't on at all. I liked Scott encouraging Lulu to go to Bobbie's, Lesley's, or Lucky's. Then he had to say, "Anywhere but him." Guess Lulu listens, 'cause next week, Lulu . Bet Logan's place isn't looking so bad to us now, huh? MagicHappens, saw your post on SOC about how Lulu should find out about Scott/Tracy. Would LOVE that to happen. So, don't hate me, but Tracy sort of annoyed me in this episode. However, I am still in love with Tracy's oomphy hair, and red continues to be an awesome color on Jane, even for a third day in a row (awesome jacket too). Let's recycle this one more often.

Hmm, A TRACY IS BACK promo for the Shady Brook release?! I'd like to make one. LOL. Only thing is, she's not exactly doing anything interesting now that's she out. TRACY IS FREE...AND NOW, SHE'S SET ON DESTROYING HER STEPDAUGHTER'S RELATIONSHIP. CAN SHE DO IT?! Um, who cares? Love my girl, but no. Give Jane Elliot something worthy of her talents. As far as clips go, we might be getting them from Something-More which might be called Favorite Moments now or something similar. Not sure. Basically, HellaGood doesn't have clips up yet, so we'll see what happens. Lainey, have fun on your trip!!! OT, but I won't be around for much of the day. Have a babysitting "job." Will be gone from noon 'til whenever she leaves the wedding reception tonight/early morning. Kids are 4 and 2, so this is going to be an adventure. Might bring back some of my working at the day care memories - Haha. BTW, THE TRACY APPRECIATION at SOC continues to grow. Though, I have to say "I worship Tracy" was a much better title than the one I came up with. LOL.

^^^ Interesting speculation, hooked. I'm not sure if that's the best way to honor Alan and Monica, even though I would LOVE to see Tracy involved. So, I realized that the timing on GH is messed up. Yesterday, it was morning. The scenes continued right were they left off (which is why there was no change in hair/wardrobe, hooked), and suddenly, it was night. Yet, the final scene in the Q mansion, Monica had orange juice in her hand (granted I drink orange juice at night, but OJ on a soap means it's breakfast time, LOL). Then cut to Liz/Lucky when it's definitely night. I know. I know. I'm supposed to overlook these things. *waves to inyron*

*hands on hips* I posted clips too! Actually, though, neither one of us had to do anything except copy/paste the link. As nex pointed out, Trudy of HellaGood clipped the episode and edited it. You're welcome. BTW, I'm not really taking offense that people didn't notice I posted the clips. I'm sure the link got lost in my long-@$$ post. It came from this article: Part 1 Part 2. Credit Tracey of Jane Elliot Online. BTW, site has been updated post November 13, 2006; well, the galleries have been updated, anyway. Onto the episode... Laura Wright needs to go on vacation more often. Love that there is NO CARLY. And the Q's get screentime!!! Imagine that! Now, onto the TRACY APPRECIATION. Colette, you're right. 4 scenes. Some comments, spoilered out… Favorite scene? Least favorite scene? Scene that wasn't there but should've been: I am hoping for tomorrow, but 3 days in a row seems too good to be true. The one bad thing about Lulu moving out is that the Q's will get like NO screen time now (actually, maybe not; seemed like the set up for Alan/Monica was today). Anyway, I'm so torn on the Lulu issue. Love seeing the Q's; hate that they prop Lulu. But still...I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!

Wednesday’s seem to be THE DAY to feature the vets. After reading this spoiler for next Wednesday, the 19th, I have some hope that Tracy will be on: She could be on, right? ANONYMOUS SPOILERS (grain of salt): Answered that last night in the breakroom, but for anyone else who might be wondering, it was taken circa April 2003 around the time of GH's 40th Anniversary Party. Original article here. Credit Tracey. EDIT: GOODIES!!!!!!! I worship Tracy (SOC thread; not by one of us either - Haha). Lila and Monica tell Tracy about Robert and Anna's wedding (2:57). Brief Tracy/Paul scene at Robert and Anna's wedding (6:28). Lucy and Tracy fight over the bouquet at Robert and Anna's wedding (4:27). Brief/cut scene of the Q's preparing for Robert and Anna's memorial (2:36).
