From wubs.. **Tracy tries to pull the wool over Luke's eyes. Do you know if the luke/robert jail stuff is just a couple day arc? Is tracy involved in that at all to bail them out? You were the one who told me xmas was luke/tracy and alan right? So are Luke/tracy back together by then? Is tracy at Kate's party? They are being stingy about Robert's return and his affect on the Luke/Tracy stuff. I haven't been privy to a lot of info about Luke and Tracy.

From soap opera source for next week.. Elsewhere in Port Charles.... Sonny seals the deal with Anthony and doesn't waste any time trying out his new found empowerment. After being harassed by a cop, Johnny unleashes his anger by punching him out and then taking off with Lulu. Monica, Edward and Alice have had it with Tracy's attitude and plea to Luke to move back into the family mansion. Tracy doesn't take to kindly to the ploy and announces she is flying to the Dominican Republic for a divorce. Johnny informs Sonny he wants nothing to do with the family business and wants out of the mob. Diane is not happy to learn Sonny married Claudia and tells him she is no longer his legal counsel. Luke finds himself in a mess when he follows Tracy to the Dominican Republic and tries to convince her, he is over Laura. I don't see them mentioned for the week of the 8th in the coming up next week...

SOW Buzz While GH fans were understandably sad to see Luke bid "au revoir" to his beloved Laura, Anthony Geary could be happier about it. It has nothing to do with Genie, it's just par for the course. AG says that he's always maintained that as soon as couples are happy, the story is over - it was for Luke and Laura, that's why they constantly had to have abductions. He says no matter how happy they were, they had to have conflicts, because a soap doesn't work when people are just happy. It never works. It may function for a time, but then you out of story. He says the worst time he ever spent on the show was when Luke was just a happy camper at the house, feeding the dog. It was the most unrewarding time he's ever spent on a soap opera. So while Laura is away it appears domesticity may be on the menu, but AG assures it won't last. He says Luke isn't the kind of character who wants to be happily married and raising his kids, he never wanted that and never will. He has to constantly be in motion. Buckle up Tracy, it's going to be a bumpy ride. Huh???? I am beginning to think TG is still smoking whatever he was smoking for 5 months in Amsterdam or has Multiple Personality Disorcer SOW Sneak Peeks Sonny moves to consolidate his power. Claudia seeks to solidify her grip on Sonny. Jason and Same scratch and claw to rescue Jake. A distraught Elizabeth acts out. Johnny punches a cop and takes Lulu on the run. Can't Miss - Tuesday, Dec. 2 - Tracy sets out to gain a quickie Dominican divorce.

Poppin in...from ABC hot sheet for next week! All this, PLUS: Liz gets physical, Luke and Tracy have a heart-to-heart about Laura, Johnny can't deal with the fact that the police DON'T want to arrest him, and Robin learns why she may be having such a hard time being a new mom. And Baby Emma accompanies Robin and Patrick on their honeymoon. Honeymoon is offscreen. When the Z's strike and Jason retaliates, Liz's anger gets the better of her. Nadine becomes possessive of Nik. Kate throws a party. Carly crashes the bid day-- in a big way. Lucky accuses Sam of holding back and challenges her to take a leap-- literally. Luke and Robert revisit old times-- and land in the same cell at the PCPD Wonder if our girl bails him out?? I would love to see Tracy and Anna bail those guys out!

Halee you crack me up everytime! Meet George Jetson...his boy Elroy...daughter Judy---Jane...his wife....dee dee dee dee dee...LOVED THE JETSONS! So here is a cable guide spoiler for next week. 12/3 Episode: "Robin Has Her Hands Full" Robin has her hands full with Emma; Luke surprises Tracy in the Dominican Republic. And a convo with an isider named ITS last night.. ITS Any info on TG leaving? If he is, when will ABC announce it? Haven't heard anything to date. Thanks. heard anything on genie coming back or kin for the next sweeps by any chance? Genie has some new projects lined up, as for Kin, nothing new on him. Right now there is nothing planned involving either. - ITS Will Luke and Ttacy be at the scrubs wedding? No. Do you know if they intend to keep JE around for a while paired with Tony--at least til he decides if he is staying or going? That's the plan for the foreseeable future. Luke will fight Tracy's attempts for a divorce. - ITS

From IL.. Johnny wants a real life with Lulu Robin and Patrick want Matt and Maxie as Emma's godparents. Ric takes a back seat to his brother once again Lucky makes Lulu look at Elizabeth's situation and encourages her to see what happens when you involve yourself with the mob. Nikolas makes plans to take Jax on. Luke and Tracy dance around their issues. Sonny puts his plan in motion. He is a lot closer to two truths than he realizes. Here is my positive take--at least Tracy is on again in December. And Ms. Q I think the stuff dropped by the insider about luke/tracy/alan was for xmas not the scrubs wedding cause it came right after I asked about a drop about lusam making xmas dinner together.

Yes they must be drunk and they must never kiss again. I think that is the new GH law for lunacy!! I hope the drop is true they are togethr on xmas, but hey...alan is there with them!

SID POLLS Would you rather see Laura with Luke or Scott? Scotty 62% Luke 38%

HEre is something from an insider answering xmas stuff today Aww thanks. Are tracy/luke back together by xmas? Is Luke around this year or does he take off again? Are luke/tracy at scrubs wedding? TIA Luke is around this year. It's Luke/Alan/Tracy

Here is the SID scan of the Lunacy article http://i36.tinypic.com/ra9k53.jpg Thanks NEX! LadyA glad you are still alive and kickin!

Nex--unless something was changed, there is no luke or tracy this week. They are not in spoilers for tomorrow and the episode on Wed is just Patrick's dream. They are on the week of the 1st with the dominca republic thing. Here are a couple spoilers from soapdish.. *pops in* Hey, again you should have heard of these, but I can confirm: Carly swears to get back at Kate for sleeping with Jax. Jax can't seem to get over Carly. Sonny marries Claudia and takes over the ZZZZ organization. Robin is diagnosed with postpartum depression. Nik is feeling pressure to marry Nadine Tracy and Luke are trapped together during a storm down in the islands. Elizabeth blames herself -- not Jason -- for Jake's kidnapping. A horrified Jason watches as the cabin Jake is in bursts into flames. Sam sets the record straight with Alexis. Johnny is not successful in his bid to get out of the ZZZ family business. these are set for the next week or two for those that celebrate on Thursday -- happy Turkey Day play nice, FoJMMF And Luke and Tracy hit a speed bump. Sorry I missed you guys tonight. My parents are here from out of town for the week.

I know there are a couple of us who watch the entire show, so thought I would repost the info here on everything that was dropped today..

Here is an old TG interview I saw a link for..thoguht Funny1 might want to listen...nothing on Luke/Tracy really... http://www.mix1051.com/topic/play_window.p...;audioId=123150 BTW--my parents are coming in tonight so I won't be online as much this week....keep on the lookout for me for spoilers!

OMG I just spit out my coffee reading that post! You crack me up!!! I think maybe TG's next exit, he and Tracy take a Princess cruise to Panama Canal, eat at the early seating and do the excursions that don't require a lot of walking! Not sure I believe this drop...but General Hospital has contacted 2 former actors/actresses recently to potentially entice them back to the show to improve ratings. This has been a very lackluster sweeps for General Hospital while daytime has been pleased with the The View, All My Children, and One Life to Life. Who are the actors? Scott Clifton and Natalia Livingston. In addition, there have been rumors Billy Warlock has been contacted also.

Here is the bigger medianet photo with Tracy in it--the rest are of luke/edward I think.. http://sweetestgoodbyes.org/gallery/albums...62_5437_ful.jpg

Good morning all.. New medianet photos up http://www.abcmedianet.com/web/display/dis...p;leftcol=links a couple of Luke with the Qs and Tracy--I guess before the DR trip! An interesting drop on Soapdish from a backstage insider. I know at least the first one is not true, but hoepfully the rest are. Also..here is the Q&A conversation that ensued about Tony/Jane, etc.. I cut and pasted...

This article is so true!! Douglas Marland is the one who created the Qs and was a good friend of JE's and created the role of Carrie on guiding light for her... How Not To Wreck A Show By Douglas Marland * Watch the show. * Learn the history of the show. You would be surprised at the ideas that you can get from the back story of your characters. * Read the fan mail. The very characters that are not thrilling to you may be the audience's favorites. * Be objective. When I came in to ATWT, the first thing I said was, what is pleasing the audience? You have to put your own personal likes and dislikes aside and develop the characters that the audience wants to see. * Talk to everyone; writers and actors especially. There may be something in a character's history that will work beautifully for you, and who would know better than the actor who has been playing the role? * Don't change a core character. You can certainly give them edges they didn't have before, or give them a logical reason to change their behavior. But when the audience says, "He would never do that," then you have failed. * Build new characters slowly. Everyone knows that it takes six months to a year for an audience to care about a new character. Tie them in to existing characters. Don't shove them down the viewers' throats. * If you feel staff changes are in order, look within the organization first. P&G [Procter & Gamble] does a lot of promoting from within. Almost all of our producers worked their way up from staff positions, and that means they know the show. * Don't fire anyone for six months. I feel very deeply that you should look at the show's canvas before you do anything. * Good soap opera is good story Douglas Marland is considered by many as one of the greatest head writers ever. Marland was a former head writer of As The World Turns, Guiding Light, and General Hospital. He worked as a writer on Another World and co-created Loving. He won multiple Emmy awards and Soap Opera Digest awards. Marland, a former actor, loved daytime. He passed away on March 6, 1993. This article was published in the April 27, 1993 issue of Soap Opera Digest. Thanks to SEW for providing a copy of the article. Remos, the search function has been removed temporarily but dishdiva told me it will be back in a few days. They had to delete some of the old threads as the search function was crashing the board having to serach through like a million and half posts, etc... It is SO annoying to not have it.

I was talking to this "backstage insider" tonight on the dish...not sure of the legitimacy of any of this....and will refrain from adding my opinion...but for some positivity (although I can't see how much more flexible TG can get...) Only have limited backstage information. I can't help with storyline questions. Sorry. Any scoop on when they might announce TG is retiring? Or if he is staying til March or May sweeps? What about a return on Genie or Kin? There were rumors sometime ago that he was likely leaving at the end of his current contract but those in charge are in process of trying to work out a new and more flexible contract . And there are no immediate plans to bring back Genie or Kin. (this part was not me obviously) The fact that they refuse to bring back Genie is the perfect illustration of why GH's audience continues to erode every single month. Anybody care to predict their first weekly 1.9 in HH? I say within the next three months. GF returns never bring up the rating especially these last two returns. the rating was as low as ever.

This was dropped on SD just now... What happens with Luke/Tracy? Does she divorce him? Or does she come around eventually? Does Luke really try hard to win her back? Does he want to remarry her the right way? Are they on much in December? Thanks She goes to the Dominican Rep. but does not go through with the divorce. Although she lets Luke believe she did. He tells her just because she divorced him, it does not mean that they are over. He intends on winning her back. Sounds like the card game goes in Tracy's favor but she can't go through with it. I bet this plays into Alan tricking her to "give up the goods" and admit to Luke she didn't really go through with the divorce. Here is some more... Thank you. Does she come around before the end of the year? Does Luke want to "remarry" her the right way? Any idea of what goods Alan tricks her into giving up? Thanks! She comes around after having a little fun first. Alan basically outs her.

It is in the next issue which hits the stands I think next Friday. I am sure SD will get it earlier though but doubt they will bother to post the Luke article. I will when I see it.

NExt week is only a three day GH week. TH is a rebroadcast of skate wedding shoot out episode from 9/29 (In case you would like to see the bloody wedding gown again) . The good news is Tracy is on that day with Johnny, Lulu and wig Laura at Shadybrook (not the real Laura). Friday is pre-empted for football. Wed. the 26th is all Patrick's AU dream. Lunacy are not on. But hey--don't stop believin' We have had six straight weeks of Tracy being on...one week off, and they are back on again the week of the 1st! It has been like xmas in october/nov for us! I'll let 'em slide since it is a short week--but it pisses me off no Q thanksgiving.

Hey SeanM No luke/tracy or the Qs the week of the 24th. Alan is on in Patrick's dream alive as COS I think in the Thankgiving day episode on Wed. the 26th but it is just for like one scene I think in the dream. They are back on the week of the 1st. SOW or SOD has them on 12/2.

From SD..I almost didn't bother with posting this...but since the serach function has been removed I figured I would do one last spoiler post for the time being... LUKE TRACY Do you know what is going on with Luke/Tracy for now? Will they actually be divorced or is this a push/pull wacky hijinks storyline arc coming up for him to win her back? What is luke's plan? Does Tracy eventually come around? Push/pull/wacky hijinks. I don't think they actually get a divorce but I'm not 100% sure about that. I'll try and find out on Monday. Sorry, a week from Monday.I won't be in a place where I can find out next week.

I'm a realist, much like our girl TQ, but I will refrain from posting my opinions on here and will just post whatever spoilers come my way. Later chicas!
