I know it sounds crazy coming from me, but think about how I freaked out that JE was leaivnt the show for five months when TG left this time. Turns out he is only gone for a month or so most likely and she didn't leave with him at all. All that recurring stuff...all speculation. So in the same moment that the Tracy/Luke break up thing is posted, so is the stuff about Tracy employs luke at ELQ and the stuff about that. So bottom line is...it wont' be both!! Think about the Tracy gives luke a cool recpetion when he came back last time. how long did that last? One scene? We don't even know if the Tracy won't welcome him back with open arms is true or not. Edit Good spoiler non-lunacy from soapdish under coming up:

Ms. Q--you are a genius! I should borrow that for my new avatar at SD! LOVE IT! We were cheated! That new actor probably went home and was like OMG I got to work with Jane Freaking Elliot and have her all snuggled in to me today!!!! Early breakroom anyone? 7:46 central time...my boys are all watching American Idol--they were waiting with baited breath tonight for it start again. Ms Q you watching it this season? Remember my boys were SOOOO bummer when Blake lost last year? http://pub13.bravenet.com/chat/show.php/1049349012

Just popping in to say i haven't read the stories yet, but will tonight. In the midst of book reports and studying rules for PE final for sports wiht my son. I must say, I LOVED the diane alexis scene today...loved them high fiving when they said Ric was still their favorite ass to kick!!!

Ya beat me to it Remos! I am doing our writing review stuff interspersed with monitoring SD for some Lunacy stuff. This person also said that she doesn't know about Alan but wish she did cause she loves SD. I can't wait to read your confession 7-8 but right now I am being highly educated about Advent, so I cannot be disturbed!

Oy! Before anyone gets too upset, remember that Chat up (who seems to be the most accurate insider around that site) said that they were keeping them together but with pushing/pulling. I am fine with Luke/tracy breaking up temporarily or her threatening to divorce him if he doesn't start shaping up and kicking him out of the mansion, etc. But to me...the only reason they would do this is to make it for a better story for him trying to get back in her good graces. They are not just gonna make them break up and end Lunacy. They have worked too hard to build up that relationship. JE/TG want to work together I am sure of it. Also, remember, that the reliable insiders at SoapDish like chat up for example, always remind the posteres there that spoilers are worded the way they are for a reason...to generate the most interest, and to be ambigious...so watch for Luke/Tracy to break up, could just mean it is like a two episode deal where she tells him to take a hike when he gets back. We all know Tracy can't resist him for too long. He will charm her right back in no time. To me, if they have them break up it is giving them an interesting story, and shows they consider them a real, viable pairing. Remember any soap couple needs to have ups and downs. Maybe they are trying to let some of the real Tracy shine through...the one who wants to make LUke pay for his bull@#$t!!! Could be good stuff coming up!!! It is probably his feb sweeps come back story. And if the other ELQ stuff is true, which I am skeptical of at this point, it could set up for Tracy telling Luke that he could start making it up to her by acting like a responsible adult, etc...changing his ways by doing something not so dangerous, etc... Edit This was just posted which is a good reminder to take all these spoilers with a grain of salt! I've said this about five times already but it bears repeating: Don't listen to any rumblings. About anything. To put it in the vernacular, no one knows crap about what is going to happen after February. Wolfe is working entirely off the set. He's not there. He and Jill video conference. There's rumors that another writer may be joining in on the head writing duties but no one knows for sure if that's true or not. IF it is, he'll undoubtedly also work offset. The scab script writers are off set and trying to keep their identity secret so they aren't talking. Scripts for shows this week are finished and distributed. Scripts for shows next week are finished and will be distributed on Thursday. Scripts for shows the following week are finished and are being processed for distribution the following THursday. Beyond that, the only info about what is planned is locked up in Jill's laptop. No one knows and considering the fact the storyline is being developed by a man who has never been a headwriter and a producer who has basically been muzzled for the past five years, its impossible to make predictions about where they will take the story.

Gosh how I HOPE and PRAY that those spoilers are true Remos...but somehow I have a hard time believing them. Cause nobody has talked about Kristina running off and Sam and Jax finding her. That sounds made up too. It is just funny to me that someone would make up Luke/Tracy spoilers to bait fans. They usually only save that stuff on soapdish for Liason and Scrubs fans to get them all pissy and fired up. Keeping my fingers crossed! Would love to see the old ELQ set and Luke/Tracy on the desk (cause you know he'd try). I asked if anyone knew who dropped those, but nobody did. Gonna be a slow GH week. I am going to try to watch objectively the rest of the week and try to enjoy the rest of the characters (as much as I can stomach). Jax fans are mad cause on Thursday he and carly are on all seven scenes and he is opening his heart to her about his desire to have a child.

Maybe she said "ill check back in an hour" and they didn't catch the "i'll"! Still didnt' get a chance to watch! just came home from art and had to help with final exam studying for tomorrow. Will watch in the morning! Thanks for the transcripts TL!! Scene insider still hasnt' come back to post for next week. I am gonna try to just enjoy the other Qs getting some screen time this week in lieu of our girl. Good luck with the firewall rachel! How did the black and whites come out BSG? Thanks for the clips in advance tomorrow Nex! Oh...someone posted "Jerry and Tracy are coming up" as a joke I believe in the inside lounge at soapdish!

great MissJane! Love that one! Lainey will like it! Here is my tracy/lucky fic link in case some on this board never made it to the other SON board http://hookedongh.livejournal.com/8774.html Several Tracy threads on SOC now..just started another one about Tracy getting the best lines: Go forth and support the Tracy Love! Edit again LadyA arrived safely in Colorado for her business trip and will be venturing out for a ski lesson tomorrow!

Hey ILTQ...no this was like my 7th mammogram or something (I am old remember--) This happened to me one other time a couple years ago. It really is NOT a big deal to get one. The nurse said that sometimes when you hold your breath and if it is uncomfortable it can happen to people that they feel faint. I was totally fine last year. IT IS NOT A BIG DEAL!!!!!! GO GET A MAMMOGRAM! I have just gone through breast cancer first hand with one of my closest friends and a few minutes of uncomfortableness (made that word up) is surely worth early detection. Sorry for the lecture...now back to our regularly scheduled Tracy discussion? Hair, make up, outfit? How did our girl look? Funny that the media net photos for 1/7 ran the week of 1/14. Guess they aren't always so accurate. The new medianet photos of alexis being attacked are quite funny actually! Nex--guess you will have a break after today for the rest of the week from clipping! Thanks in advance! Tracy really does get some of the best lines!!!

Thanks ILTQ--She is not on the rest of the week we know--bummer! At least Logan was trying to cover to spare Tracy to worry... So get this...I go get a mammogram today and in the middle I start feeling like I am going to faint. I started getting freezing, then hot and then woozy...and then I told the woman and she made me sit on the floor for like 10 minutes and breathe and have a nurse come in to take my blood pressure, etc. It was the freakiest thing. I was fine after a few minutes. I mean I wasn't nervous or anxious about doing the test, etc. But I hadn't eaten and had lots of coffee this morning, so who knows. Sure recovered enough to go meet a friend for lunch and go to Banana Republic! Won't have time to watch the show til later. Have a PTO meeting and my art class starts up again tonight, so I won't be home til around 9pm or so. Hope tot catch you guys then. Kids are home...gotta run...more later!

From soapdish story from Josh Duhon's Event (Logan) with Kin SHriner... Thought this was funny: Kin Shriner is hilarious! And he can talk, like forever! And Josh...is about as sweet as someone can be and so much better looking in person. His mom was at the event and asked one of the funniest questions! She asked since Luke is gone will Logan now hook up with Tracy. Josh was like a deer caught in the headlights! Also...small Monica spoiler:

some possible spoilers regarding our girl

Gosh you guys I have missed two nights chatting in a row! That is a record for me--LOL! I wonder if JE and SR really do have scenes together. I guess why would that person say that. Hey, maybe he will try to woo tracy while Luke is gone--yeah righ! I wanna see some JE/KS scenes too. Will be in and out today but will try to check in! I am sure that TQ will be on today. I really think skye will help luke sneak out and pose as her driver or something and then on the docks they will part ways. Remos...will read your story later after carpool! Miss you guys! One little tidbit this morning....from soapdish spoilers...that people might be interested in on this board.

You guys are not going to like this at all...from SID that was posted on Soapdish: So long Luke & Skye! A pic of luke/skye w/a caption….”If I do this for you, you have to promise me that Tracy won’t come hunt me down!” says Skye. Thanks to some assistance from Skye, Luke managed to sneak out of Port Charles on Jan. 11th. Meanwhile, as SID reported in our last issue Robin Christopher and her husband and their two children have packed up their Los Angeles home and moved to a ranch in PA. Comment: I don't think this means that Luke and Skye are going off to spend time together at all. But that Skye is like letting him pose as her driver or something (hence the chaueffer hat in the elevator pic). So don't totally go postal TL (ha ha). It will be luke/skye last little hurrah together with her helping him in a scheme to escape. Gotta run...

Thought I would bring this in from soap opera weekly--thoght it would make Rachel and some of us Q fans happy! Can't believe JE and LC got a closer look column spotlight within a month of each other! A Closer Look: Monica After months of freeze-ups and jitters in the operating room - first Alan, then Luke; this week Elizabeth - viewers finally learn the secret behind Monica's meltdowns: alcohol. Leslie Charleson shares her thoughts on the intriguing turn. SOW asks her what her reaction was when she found out the story. LC says that JFP mentioned it to her before the writers' strike, to feel her out about her thoughts. LC told her that anything was great and the show decided to run with it, even with the writers' strike on. SOW asks if Monica's drinking stems from her inability to deal with Emily's death. LC says that yes it does and that it make sense. She feels that Monica hasn't done much of anything to let go of it and she has lot a lot. LC can rationalize Monica not wanting to deal with it. She feels that it's a matter of the more you stuff it down, the harder it is to let it go, so you self-medicate. She's glad GH is dealing with it because she had been wandering around thinking Monica has had quite a bit to deal with and they seemed to have dismissed it as moving right along... She's grateful we'll see that it really hasn't been business as usual for Monica. SOW asks what the setup is for the reveal this week. LC says Joe the bomb demands to know who Jason is when he comes in and Monica tells him that he's a hitman who destroys everything he touches, and her son. Joe takes Monica hostage. SOW asks how Monica ends up back in the ER and working on Elizabeth. LC says that Leo shows up and tells her Elizabeth is bleeding out and he needs her help. Monica puts her fear aside and gets free from Joe. Jason clears the way for her to go. SOW asks if Monica is hesitant about attempting another surgery. LC says that she is and she's not even sure she can help. Leo tells her it's time to get back in the saddle and she tries. But her hands start to shake and she turns it over to Leo to do and walks out. She doesn't trust herself. SOW asks if that's when viewers see her sneak off and take a drink for the first time. LC confirms that is correct. Monica's been sipping from a secret flask and it indicates she doesn't have it all together. She goes off alone and takes a swig, thinking if she has just one sip, she'll be fine, but of course she's not. SOW asks if she's excited to be tackling this story. LC is very excited because it's been a long dry spell and it's been hard for her to come in and just do background stuff because Monica has always been such a strong character. She hopes they handle it well. SOW asks what her feelings were on Monica turning to alcohol instead of seeking professional counseling to deal with Emily's death? LC says that Monica has always been the type of person who feels they can handle things on their own. Monica's strength and passion was one of the things that originally attracted her to the character. She feels it would be hard for Monica to ask for help and there's no one around to really tell her she needs to get help. She's very lonely. Drinking is something LC can rationalize which is good since she's the one doing it. The NLG thing is wrong supposedly too! Hope TQ is in LC's story a bit. Monica gets held hostage! Can you believe it? Here's hoping for more lunacy tomorrow. I would think it would have to be tomorrow, if Luke sneaks out and leaves Friday. I just got home from my dinner and my husband just got home from a trip so I am gonna go talk to him for a bit...even though I would rather be talking to you guys! I loved how tracy and lucky were touching each other like on the arm and she had her arm on his back!! I really hope they keep her in luke's kids world while he is gone too Remos! Edit Someone asked this to the chat up insider at soapdish today for me--how sad is that..that random people are asking stuff for me over there! Chat Up For our resident Tracyfan...do you know anything about JE? Will she be offscreen while Tony is gone again? I don't believe she has any time off booked to coincide with Tony.

wow monica was on today too huh? Gotta go watch now before the carpool hell begins. I am out tonight for dinner with a friend from out of town and may be home around 9ish...will try to come on later. Latest rumor is that NLG is gonna be killed off in Feb sweeps by Claudia (sarah brown) as part of keeping Jerry in line or something and that they are dong this because of the great reaction Diane has been getting and she is now a stand alone character who can take NLG's place (and much cheaper too). They said it will be sighted as storyline direction or some crap like that. I don't really believe they are going to do that now with all the big death toll backlash. I like alexis, and also hread she was just gonna be attacked. However, better NLG than JE!

So how was the lunacy today? I got some updates, but haven't watched. Funny, Remos...you around for a quick chat? 3:55pm central time? Breakroom?

She is on today ILTQ if that brightens your work day. Not watching but read it. I think the mods shut the board down in order to delete and clean up all the posts that refer to the insider and their identity. That is what happened the other day. It won't let me log in to the site at all, not just the GH part. And I am a registered postter over there. It is a good thing though. I am trying to wean myself off that site totally. I am trying to only check the IL> Supposedly TG vanishes for a month, according to SOD, so hopefully that source is legit. He will be back then hopefully in Feb. I think he will play some part of the mob-infested sweeps, but I also heard the custody hearing for baby Jake is then as well. Not that Luke really cares, but perhaps there is some Q involvement in that. Actually only one board is working on that site ILTQ

I think the board is just being updated now or something Remos and that is why it says adminstrators only. That happens from time to time I think when they are cleaning it up. Too bad I registered there cause that would be a good way to end that stuff. I am only checking for spoilers now. The spoilers are wubs.net are still mentioning monica a bit. Same with other sites. Hopefully she will get her little mini storyline. Poor LC deserves it. I would like a follow up scene about luke's sugery and her screwing it up, but I am betting that will just be swept under the rug. I liked hte confessions part 5 too remos! I'll see if any other confessions pop to mind today! Hope you have a safe trip to school Rachel! Nancy, I am gonna work on that dvd project. What happened to Colette (MissJane), Inryon, magichappens, and some of the others? Deb--where are you? Not checking the thread anymore at all? Nex--hopefully you will have some clips to edit today at work to keep you busy! Glad you have been popping in more often to the br LadyA--been fun chatting with you a couple days in a row! Try to pop back in later. TL/Lainey/Ms Q-- hope your days all go well today! We gotta keep the thread going ya know---we are always the top thread on SON!

LadyA you around for a few? It is 6:15pm (anoyone else) Oh saw this today. Thought it was interesting: http://daytimeconfidential.com/generalhosp...e-quartermaines http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/savemonicaq/index.html (I added the save Tracy in the comments section) LC is WAY cooler than JE with her fans! Here is her letter on the front page of her site! http://www.lesliecharleson.net/leslie_letter/2007_10.html and photos from the brunch with the Qs in 2007 which is not attended by our girl http://www.lesliecharleson.net/fan_club/pa...7_q_brunch.html Edit breakroom anyone (9pm centarl time)

I have decided to enroll in a 12-step program to wean myself off of soapdish. I am now a card-carrying member of SDA...soap dish anonymous. It today has shown me nothing else...nobody knows didly squat! Edit I need a sponsor for this 12 step program--ha ha

OMG I am so cracking up! Today has been a low point loser day for me. And Remos you are not a loser! I am referring to myself (LOL). The funny (well not so funny) thing is, last night after I got off the breakroom chat, my son had a seizure in his sleep and it snapped me right back into reality (he has a seizure disorder that is only associated with sleep). It was only this afternoon sitting home waiting for the UPS man to come with my case of wine I ordered from Napa that required an adult signature that I started getting obsessive again. I am glad Monica and Edward are in the hospital. And I really hope MOnica gets a storyline. LC deserves it. I did call the comment line today with a positive comment...saying the show is much more balanced now. Hope work wasn't too bad the second day back for you guys! Chat later maybe? Edit I just watched an episode from 1991 that was hilarious. Tracy reads in the paper that Larry Ashton was given a lordship title by the Queen of England (his other title Lord Ashton was fake). They were speculating on what he could have done to get that. Alan said well maybe he was an expert seaman and Tracy is like "are you kidding, he used to get seasick in dry dock". Then Monica said "Well maybe he ran up the highest bill at Harrods," and Alan is like "yeah the highest UNPAID bill." THen Lila is like "well maye he has a hidden talent we don't know about. So Tracy said, "Well we already established he is a bad seaman, bad business man and I can assure you, I was married to the man for 15 years. He has NO hidden talents. Anyway, thought that was funny. Cause I never really knew how long she was married to Larry Ashton. I was thinking it was only a few years and she left him and dumped Ned on his family.

Cracking up Halee at your post! Did you really mean to say..glad you two losers have each other to obsess on this over--ha ha! Hopefully we will get her W, TH and F this week. Surely she will have to have some good scenes when he vanishes and she finds out. Now I see how Luke can leave without knowing about Lulu!

Just thinking this through a bit more... I mean if you think about it, it is SO in character Luke to do this. He has opened up and admitted stuff to Tracy the past month or so about his feelings, etc. But think about it, even with Laura, his self-proclaimed love of his life, he still took off and went on his little adventures. Plus, I really believe he would do the same thing to Laura as he is gonna do by leaving Tracy. He wouldn't want her to see him having a hard time making it from the chair to the couch or to have someone watching his every move. Perhaps our love of Lunacy is clouding our knowlege of who Luke Spencer really is. I mean didn't Tracy even tell him that she understood why Laura did what she did about the guardianship going to Nik because she wanted him to remember her as a woman, not some patient he had to take care of. And his conversaion with Sonny about Tracy not signing up for this and it isn't fair to her. Perhaps he will cover that in his letter. I think she will be pissed off and scared and livid. But not broken-hearted. I hope that at least that he is sending her (and only her it seems from that spoiler) a letter to let her know he is okay and just needing to do this his way. I really don't think it is the end of Lunacy. I think his letter might say something like "don't worry Spanky, I"m fine. I'll be back" or something like that. Cause think about it...Tony is too old to be paired romantically with anyone else on that show, unless they would go the route of Alexis or something and that ain't gonna happen. He won't want to be paired wiht Sarah Brown or someone who is so young for him. And Luke and Tracy works and she is used to his comings and goings. He is not around enough to develop any or kind of relationship with a woman anyway. Lunacy has been building for nearly 3 years. And he has a mate who puts up with his contstant leaving. She doens't like it and has made that very clear, but she does accept it, and love him anyway. This fact allows for Luke to have little storyline arcs for him when he is in town if he doens't need to have to build up relationships. THe funny thing and the wasted thing is..with his little heaven scene of what he realizes in the end, that he was callous with his family and those who loved him, is not a lesson he has absorbed. Perhaps because he knows (as he admitted) that they will still love him anyway. So after all my going round and round on this, I think we should all just sit back, and see what happens. At least it seems that JE will be around still for a while. And that in my book is good news.

Yeah I am with you Remos...maybe there will be some follow up to the converstaion he had with Sonny that Tracy overheard. You know.. the person who said that Tracy leaves with Luke on soapdish is the same one who said that TG is gone maybe til may and about JE and the recurring. If her info was wrong about stuff that was already shot (like luke leaving alone) but the rest is wrong too. The person today said that he will not be back in January as she had the info for January, but that doesn't mean he couldn't show up a week into Feb for sweeps. Who knows. If it is only a month that she will have to be pissed off and upset and then he comes back again, we can deal. It would make sense because if there is any truth to the Spinelli prodigy thing or the stuff about Tracy keeping Luke at bay and stuff blowing up in her face with the Qs, that could be just like side story to sweeps. Because this sweeps is not an event...not like a train wreck or hotel fire, etc. It is the mob stuff with Sarah Brown and all that zachara sonny stuff. Not like a captive event that other characters don't get to be a part of at all. Yeah maybe it is a good time for our Tracy muse to get out of our heads, so that we can start doing the thing we have been wanting to do like write! Perhaps it is good timing. My only good part of all this is at least Tracy is still on and Jane is not going to be gone til May. I know we are all Lunacy fanatics, but Tracy once a week is better than no Tracy at all.
