Yup! Only with bangs. There is an interview with Rena Sofer in SOD this week. Whew...she reams on GH!!! Here are a few quotes.. [quoteSome highlight quotes. ""I always find it funny when people are like, "You should go back GH". "Im, like...no, it's really not for me. IF they only knew the politics of the whole business that we are in. There are very clear reasons why I don't want to go back to that show." Sofer believes the perfect storm of writers, producers, actors that she exprienced while working under then excecutive producer Wendy Riche and then head writer Claire Labine couldn't be replicated, which is partly why she hasn't pondered a reprise. When the character was resurrected in 2004 Sofer says she wasn't even contacted by GH. "I'm obviously divorced in real life from the person that they would have had be working with, " she says referring to Wallace Kirth. And that was not an option to work together, so I think they knew pretty well not to approach me." "I do have to say that I exprienced a bit of glee at the fact that it wasn't quite as successful. Is that bitter? That's fine, " says Sofer. quote] Also--interesting article on Bergen (Alice) in there. She was told she was going to die twice. One time they thought she had HIV but it was some copper issue in her blood. Then she got better from that and then she was told she had cancer and had two years to live. She changed to a completely vegan diet and a year later she was totally clean bill of health. She said she lost 100 pounds eating vegan for a year and she said everyone on GH thought she was just on a diet because she didn't want to tell them about her cancer. Amazing story really. She gave a bunch of vegan recipes too...halee you might be interested.

You could totally tell they cut scenes today huh? This was in SID. Tracy made #10 (they have been counting down from 50 the past four issues. Of course, my first comment is, did they not have a more recent pic of jane to use??? That is like from 1996 I think!

What I think is funny is the JJ is back buzz has caused this major ripple affect on the GH scene! It cracks me up. Now Becky is back to being more front and center. The Jasam buzz is like gone. All of a sudden the buzz is for Genie back because of JJ, Lucky will all of a sudden be written so much better and have a point of view; Luke will miraculously start thinking Lucky is cool again. It has overshadowed Sbr's exit, and even the James Franco stuff for now. Guza has no interest in writing for Tracy at all--that is clear--he only sees her as a prop in Luke's story and right now she isn't really even getting that...there are too many others now vying for his attention---Ethan/Lucky/helena, etc. The fall sweeps preview came out in SOW. No mention of Tracy. Just the liz/lucky/nik stuff and Luke playing a pivital role when he finds out what has been going on. I hope he at least consults Tracy on what to do.

Ya I wouldn't worry about it--if she does come back it would probably give Tracy more story. she usually gets the most when Laura is around or when Holly or someone else is around. I noticed these on ABC.com site today http://abc.go.com/shows/general-hospital/photos/165674/ Old screen caps. I like the courtroom pic the best!

I know. ANd what I hate also is that the next time they are in a scene together they will be in Helena's hospital room and will we even know if Tracy is still mad or whatever? I guess a good sign that no divorce bullshit is coming is that her ring was still on. Not that they would get divorced, but you know the same tired routine. I keep hoping maybe they will have her pop up before he goes to talk to Alexis tomorrow... Here is the GF article from SID..

I agree with you both and would bet my bottom dollar they will start writing Lucky with a point of view and with Luke and Lucky repairing their relationship back to what it was. Lucky will probably get his edge returned, etc. I have no doubt that JJ will get much better screentime and writing then greg did. I love Greg. He may not have been the best actor, but I don't think he got a fair shake...however, that said....he stuck around and kept sticking around so.....

Yah that sucks. It is worse knowing they had several scenes today then realizing we didn't get to see them. Too bad we can't buy outtakes! LOL Whole article on GF returning in SID... She basically says she would love love love to return but for some reason they are dragging their feet and are not ready for her yet.

OMG that is hysterical!!! When he starts getting hair sticking out of his ears, he needs to retire! I guess some kiss is better than no kiss! I looked at a screencap and it looked lemony to me too. Ethan's face is funny here (well it is funny all the time, but his expression is funny here).

Can you see JJ being Lulu's older brother??? The party on the 19th I think is the little Liz goes to break it off with lucky and he surprises her with a party. Then I think the next week is the party that turns into the engagement party and kicks off sweeps. From the listing from tomorrow of what is happening and know the scenes tomorrow were about Valentin I dont' think we will get any follow up to the kiss. DId you see the scrubs follow up from the wig scene? Kmc and JT said they had a couch makeout scene that got cut I guess. Anyway, glad they were back. IF the scenes were cut from tomorrow, maybe we just go from her being pissed and then the kiss bowled her over. People on dish said she looked like she was kissing a lemon! I haven't watched yet as I am knee deep in homework! Luke is supposed to talk to Alexis on TH about the new cassadine--maybe she will pop up again. Helena is checked into the hospital on TH

Hey Nex--if you want we can share clipping duties! Not that I think the burden will be too large! LOL. Just let me know . I'm happy to do them if you are busy with work. Remos--was Tracy wearing that grey jacket she is wearing in the helena scenes in the hospital the week of the 19th? I am trying to figure out if those will show up. I wonder if Tracy scores an invite to the LL2 engagement party. There are a few more medianet photos loaded and they are of luke, bobbie, liz, lesley, lucky at the Spencer house with balloons in the background. That is the day Audrey is back too I think (the 19th). I wonder if Tracy will be there with Luke. It is a total "spencer" looking party so I am doubting it. Even though she was there for both LL2 weddings--that is how long she and luke have been married. ALso--Luke is the one who sees Niz kissing and has to decide whether or not to tell lucky (per an article today with JJ and his return). Hope he consults Tracy who will probably tell him to tell Lucky. Per SOD--Nik sends Helena back to switzerland on the 20th of October. Damn--was hoping she was around for a while.

I wish so badly that their scenes were not all cut tomorrow. Maybe for some reason they will show up. THey were supposed to talk about Valentin and the Cassadine threat.

Not sure how true any of this is...but I heard that GH can't afford Genie and they can't agree on money. Who knows. Also that NP and JC are out. Keeping my fingers crossed all three are true--I like Jason Cook but think he will end up on another ABC soap. Bigger medianet pics here http://www.soapoperasource.com/gh/gallery/gh-gallery-week-of-october-19.html#

Two medianet pics of Luke/Tracy/Helena for the week of the 19th...

I have a pretty good idea of who that was from and from other things they have "dropped" I don't believe it. I think the scrubs stuff was total baiting and that was the consensus on dish.... Not to say it might not be true about the luke/laura/scotty but at this point, we don't even know for sure Scotty is coming back or laura for that matter. Although I would be surprised if she didn't. I hope the scenes CT mentioned about tracy coming to visit her in the hospital show up but I am not thinking they will.

From SOW

Hey Nex. I saw that, although I really hope those are not the scenes that ended up on the cutting room floor since Valentin is now delayed. Guess we will see... Did you see Jane is going to be doing a soapnation event in LA on the 24th?

Ditto on that one Lainey!! I've been watching certain storylines on some other shows that I never watched before...there is actually character driven story, and actual dialogue rather than 20 seconds snippets of the same conversation day in and day out. GH is like the ADD soap...chopping scenes back and forth, for a few seconds each. I could tune into ATWT and watch one episode and pretty much get the gist of the whole family dynamic of the story that Lynn Herring is involved in. For Tony being back for a week now, I think he has had like three scenes with barely any lines. The lulu/ethan rescue is so dumb.

I would think that it would make 0% sense to make Luke and Tracy just end with no real drama and agnst--especially since if they are going to end with LnL leaving together--that is the soapy story--to have Luke totally torn and not interested at first, but he can't help himself or whatever. But with GH lately, nothing makes a whole lot of sense. So who knows. Today's SOD has a blurb about why the Cassadine story is being pushed back. Guza said with the Lucky switch and Sbr's exit he simply had no room. I think the reason Tracy's role in Luke's return story once he gets back to PC has been diminished or changed is she was supposed to not believe him about Valentin or whatever. The SOD also said that he arrived on set and apparently taped one day before they decided to push him back to later in the year. I am guessing all those scenes were cut along with any of tracy and luke discussing him. IL says she is on Tuesday the 13th for sure. Not sure about anything other than that though for the next few weeks. NLG tweeted that Jane and Leslie have not been let go and the rumors are silly. So I guess we will see. I do believe that TG is leaving come May, GF is returning and possibly Kin. I think that NP and JC are probably out. Not sure about NL--although she could leave. I was not too impressed by that mischa character yesterday. This whole luke rescue with helena sick seems very choppy as well as the lulu/ethan part. It is so disjointed. Perhaps some stuff ahd to be cut there too.

I agree. And knowing that some of her stuff has been reworked isn't helping. She is no where in sight. While we might get a few scenes next week that is it supposedly for the next three weeks. This isn't normal. JE is always part of Luke's return somehow. With her seeming to be more visible lately at parties and getting photographed wonder if she is putting herself out there again. Or maybe she is just ready to call it a day and doesn't really care at this point. She will just take a check whenever they use her and go about her life. Realistically she is on less than some recurring characters anyway. She has been on four times since July. Even Spencer, Alfred and Cam and Jake were on more than her in September. Having her be out of town for the carnival stuff, no scenes about anything surrounding Luke's return so far. Just odd. Usually we see her bitching about him right before he comes back. I have no doubts either that Tony loves working with Jane and they are good friends, but I agree, Jin, bottom line is if he is retiring there is no way the network is not going to milk the whole LnL stuff one last time. They gotta get genie out pimping LnL retirment watches at Sears. LOL I would rather Jane just leave than be on recurring unless that is what she is cool with. But as a fan it stinks. I know LC just re-upped for a year. I know because she has been on the show for so long it makes sense, but she has no storyline whatsover. I just can't believe they would end the whole lunacy pairing which is the longest current pairing on the show without a fight or angst for Luke trying to fight his urge to not leave Tracy but his pull back to Laura. Especially if Scotty is back to. Again, I guess we will find out soon.

Well I know she is on the week of the 12th at least once. The person who dropped that other show bit part was a known bullshitter, but why make that up. That is really random thing to make up. NLG tweeted this about rumor of JE/LC being let go "Not true--these rumors are silly" But let go is not the same as dropped to recurring. I think we will find out more this week. NLG didn't seem to know about Sbr or GV either. But she knew the kelly stuff was wrong. I actually would rather JE tell them to kiss her ass than stay on in the capacity of a random Q scene once a month or two.

Not such good news around the net today. Rumors say GF/KS are coming back. Emma is back for five shows. NL, JC and NP are out. JE/LC are recurring. Another insider said Tracy's part in Luke's return has been substantially changed and she is not going to be on at least for the next three weeks. She is no longer going to doubt Luke's motives or doubt his story. If they are shoving her out of the way with some brush off mention and going to have this big LnL Scotty all on screen and leave JE out and a big LnL ride off--I am sure not going to be around to watch it.

Just a heads up...I got an email from Tracey who runs Wally's site and did the JE online site. She said she is taking down the site in about two weeks, so if there is anything anyone wants to download now is the time to do it.

from dish If true (which I believe it is) hopefully Jane will get some play out of this story til may. You know she will do the emotional, hurt, devastated but acting all tough like she doesn't care so well. I can see her breaking it off with Luke before she will let him leave her for Laura. If the spencers are all gone, it will be interesting to see if Jane sticks around to be used once a month or two like Monica, or if she checks out as well. With no kids on the canvas...there really isn't any story or tie in. But considering she is paired with TG (the shows biggest star) who is off for five months a year....she sure isn't getting much airtime this way anway. This is shaping up to be her lowest year since 2003. So it can't really be too much worse I guess.

I think this storyline is quickly being retooled because of JJ return. I think the delay in that new character coming on as valentin or something might change things. We'll see. Luke is back in PC the week of the 12th.

SZ just confirmed Genie is back. Tony is retiring is what the same person said via a message to someone I know. JE I betcha will check out too when he goes, but hopefully get some drama out of it. The 13th is the day if they are not cut due to storyline changes because of JJ. Bottom line. This show sucks. I need a 12-step program. I seriously was almost to the point of not caring. But now i had hope!
