remos

Even if they don't care to have Luke around Tracy for Edward's funeral, I highly doubt they would keep Anthony Geary away from such a momentous moment in GH history.

Is Alan really back or yet another vision? I can't imagine them resurrecting him at this point.

I gotta say, in the 90's when soaps were terribly boring and my life wasn't, the two Must See TV events for me were the Annual Nurse's Ball on GH and the Horton Tree Ceremony on Days. I went for years and those were the only two things I made an effort to watch. I would really love to see what they could do with the Ball now - although I'm thinking it probably would have been even better a few years ago when the talented Spencermaines (Ethan, Brook, Lucky, etc) were all on the show.

LOL, Totally an FYI kind of thing, but I didn't get the reference Luke made so I looked it up. Too funny that Luke said he should have been Toulouse Lautrec, considering Luke is supposed to know high-end art extremely well, and his 6 ft fame could never pass as this guy. http://en.wikipedia....oulouse-Lautrec

OMG, the LuNacy scenes were SOOOOO much than anything else with TG in it. I really wish TPTB would cut their losses. In fact, TG is working better with IB than FH. In other opinions, Sabrina has got to be related to Robin somehow. The connection she has with Emma is just too cute for words.

Just caught up - nice to see AJ returned. Hope when TPTB are playing with history that they will remember the meat hook. All this talk about Tracy being cruel to Monica and I didn't see that at all. Tracy acknowledged something I've been saying for awhile, that she has her children and can afford to be sympathetic. Did I really see Tracy ENCOURAGE Luke to tail Anna to the HS? Really?????? No… not right... Nice to see Diane back. Did someone say she has or will be working with Tracy? CH lost it slightly in the scene with Todd where he said "make it out to Beelzebub" (loved that) Are we now well and truly done with Jason? please? with a cherry on top? Liking Duke more every time. Loved his interaction with Emma, just wish he would bring Robin home faster and reunite her. There's a reason for that…. not sure what it could be, but if he is the real Duke (and I'm going with that at the moment) then he knows how much Robin is loved by everyone, himself included, and he would not keep her away needlessly. Luke is being written as a fool. Hate that.

<p>^^ that's actually a very good observation. He brings his best to the table when he enjoys the story, and he so obviously doesn't enjoy the Luke/Anna thing anywhere near as much as he enjoys any scene he can get with Jane. I want to laugh every time he tries to pretend as Luke that he's &quot;crazy about Anna&quot;, when he has more enthusiasm about ordering room service. And yet one moment between Luke and Tracy, and they sparkle.</p> <p> </p> <p>The longterm ship is so obvious in terms of who works best - I just hope TPTB have removed their rose coloured glasses and are now looking at reality.</p> <div id="myEventWatcherDiv" style="display:none;"> </div>

I truly think it's just a matter of time - and that's the storyteller in me, not the fangirl. TG has never been quiet about his preferences, just rather politically aware in making them, even when they piss off a fanbase or five. Tracy and Luke did not let each other go, and I find it quite an interesting dynamic to have them being 'girlfriends' on the show. WHEN they do come together again, I think it will be shown that being together is as natural as breathing for them - even when official apart, they still find each other to talk about the important things in life. Over time, that will show itself to be an even more solid foundation for them.

^^ I don't think it was literally saving Tracy from drowning, I think that was a metaphor for if Tracy was in trouble, he'd rescue her in a heartbeat over Anna.

Ah TG, more with the Tracy love! Perfect. Now if only TPTB will acknowledge that - yes, Luke is FLATTERED by Anna's attention, but in a contest it's Tracy he would save.

Luke wasn't done with Tracy ages ago, and the dialogue showed that - and if the writers have a clue, the "return of Duke" is a way to separate the horrible idea that was Luke and Anna without Anna looking as though she was given-up for another woman (which apparently is fine for a 'villain' character, but never for a 'heroine').

<p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Good. We need some more in that family - even if Syke isn't my favourite Q.</p> <div id="myEventWatcherDiv" style="display:none;"> </div>

<p> </p> <p>Oh, I think WK would make a point of returning for JI/Edward's death and Memorial Service. Those two were apparently quite close in r/l. I would love to have Nedly back, permanently. Dillon too - especially if they are going to have Lulu unable to conceive after she aborted their child. (and by gum, Tracy should be part of that!!!!!)</p> <div id="myEventWatcherDiv" style="display:none;"> </div>

Diane and Tracy should always have worked together. The ability to snipe between those two alone, would have provided hours of entertainment - content would be secondary. Tracy cut out of Edward's Will? WTF is wrong with that bastard? She has consistently been the only one to run ELQ properly. The male members of the family have always screwed it up. Who's willing to bet that the "surprise player" is somehow connected to Jake…. although AJ is also an option now.

Just so long as "vicious fight" doesn't actually mean "roll on the ground, pulling each other's hair out, pretending we're teenagers". That was NOT a good moment for either character a few years back when they did it in the elevator. Impressive that women that age can still do it, but that's the beginning and end of it. I'm up for verbal lacerations only.

That's the problem when writers have an agenda rather than looking for what's right in front of them. I realize they have to have a sense of where the story is going, but forcing something that just isn't there, makes a mockery of all of it.

I'm wondering if that is why they did the whole 'triangle' thing, then quickly caved it - there was no way it was going to be even and Luke pining for Anna at the same time he was for Tracy. The chemistry for LuNacy is just too strong, and a relationship with Anna is just marginally better than it was with Felicia. Some things just shouldn't happen. And one of these days TPTB is just going to have to realize TG has very little Romantic Chemistry to speak of, and needs a special someone to make it work. As much as I didn't care for them, Skye and Luke worked. Luke and Tracy most definitely work. But everything else it just Buddy Chemistry, which is what TG really has in spades. I'm hoping Duke will improve (anyone else feel he's far more wooden than he used to be?) and Luke will realize Anna isn't ever going to be the one he is crazy about. TPTB need to get on with what works. Anna/Luke do NOT.

^^ I agree with you Laine….. about Joe confession and Luke and Tracy. My only hope is that TPTB aren't stupid (I know, it's a stretch) and get over their ridiculous need for all the 90's pairing, and see what is right in front of their face. If the plan is to bring them to a place where their obvious love gets 'rekindled' and they are built from scratch again, fine. Just get on with it. For all Luke's protestations that he's "crazy about Anna", there is nothing on the screen that shows that to be true.

Bernie is a throw-away character. Yes he's a mobbie, but it's not as if the real problem with the mobbies will be addressed. Now, killing Jason - THAT will be addressing the real problem. On a side note, caught up with the show to yesterday. For month it was 'spoiled' that John would be the one returning Daniel. Oh well…. Arguably I'm biased, but there was more chemistry in the room when Luke and Tracy were talking about their other lovers, than in anything between Luke and Anna. I hope they kill that 'pairing' soon, and go for the money couple. It would be nice if Joe was working an angle, too. I'm not liking him being a schmuck. Can't he be Interpol or something?

Great article. Thanks Hooked.

You guys see this? Little Emily is all growed up…. http://ca.shine.yahoo.com/amber-tamblyn-wears-a-yellow-dress-to-her-star-studded-wedding.html

Ms.Q, you also might want to look into acupuncture.

Just creating something you use for marking. What are the highlights and points you try to make - mark, suggestions, compliments, critiques, etc. - then create a Word/Pages/PDF which will allow you to skip from section to section typing in what needs to be read.

A friend of mine has a great quote. After our mothers died within days of each other, she said "I really hate what I'm an expert in". A suggestion, if I may. I have a friend who has bad arms/wrist (not CT, but painful anyway) so she does a template for her students and just types what needs to be done. Typing your marks and comments would be a lot easier, and a lot more legible when the pain kicks in effecting your handwriting. You teach highschool right? Putting thing on computer print-out, or online would save you a lot of pain. Others are doing it, so it won't seem that novel.

That's how it's done. I must have had those electrodes on my arms half a dozen times. blah….
