remos

Greetings, all, from the sunny North. Starting out to be a great week, as the Canadian Geese fly overhead...

Turkey is almost ready for the oven; friends who are joining us for Thanksgiving had a baby girl on Saturday, so we get some baby-luv here; dollar's at par, which means I can get educations materials for the kids at the actual sticker price; got to finally see a friend of mine who is dying of cancer, and she's STILL able to give hugs - very thankful for that; and no matter how you cut it, Tracy is going to be given something interesting to do this week. Add to that the math about TG's vacations, and the dry spell may be over for awhile.

Also, in the category of appreciation, Lainey and Hooked, your latest stories were amazing (not that I expected any less).

Am I positive enough for you, Ms. Q?

I'm also hoping to be back in the BR more this week. I miss keeping up.

Intentions are always noble, execution a bit elusive....

I watched the promo a couple of times. Seems Lukey is lashing out at the truth, not Tracy.

I agree, she does seem soft. I'm hoping they'll instill some maturity into their scenes - God knows there has been little in the stuff (read: crap) they've given her lately.

Remos---you still checking in here at all?

Yeah, I'm still here. Sorry, I've been so busy lately that I haven't been able to do more than glance at the posts. I have been reading, though, and I'll try to make an effort to be there tonight (I'm such a lousy friend some times!).

Off to a Guide meeting. Purchased our Thanksgiving turkey today. Would someone please tell me how we got to October 2007, 'cause I think I've lost more than one month this year.

Just stepping in for a few to let you know I'm still alive. Husband's still out of town (that's the good news); off to Girl Guide camp this weekend with my daughter and 6 other guides from my unit (that's the okay news); couple who agreed to take the boys weren't even in town this week, and are still not back so I had to scramble to find someone to housesit AND take care of 3 boys from ages 2-6 (the not so great news). Stace, if only you were closer............ All I can say is thank God I'm a social butterfly, so my circle of possibilities was quite extensive.

Hopefully something with Tracy will show up next week. I'm not even bothering to tune in now - I just wait for the clips from Nex or Colette. I miss all of you, since I keep missing you in the BR, and there's nothing else newsworthy. Here's hoping for a better October!

And I let out a big wooohooo when I saw Tracy in the previews. Anyone else notice that Scott was there (STILL or again?)? LOL. Seems like he may be hangin' around 'til our girl's hubba gets home.

It would be nice to see Luke get jealous. It nothing else, Tracy needs the compliment of being in the "middle" for a change, rather than always the jealous [with good reason] spouse.

So the 8th, is that when he appears, or when TG starts working?

OMG, hooked, I was thinking the EXACT SAME THING about those

freaking LnL pictures

Great minds really do think alike!

Remos--where ya been???

Hope to catch you guys tonight! I have my "chemo" duty today. Only 4 more weeks for her after this one!

I's here. Been reading, just not writing. September means start of activities, school, etc. And this year I've been asked to fill the roles of liturgist at church, so r/l is taking over ( how dare it). Also blame Lainey - she put me on to some Star Trek fic sites than are getting way too much of my attention (kiss to Lainey).

All the best to your friend, Hooked. Hope Mom's poem brightened her day.

I'll try to be around tonight, just can't make promises.

About JZ/Bobbie: So, the person said she had some movie going on, right? I went to IMDB.com, and she's credited in some movie that's to be released in 2008. She's not one of the first people cast, but her character does have a first and last name.

I have to admit, when I first heard that they were going to kill a long time member, Bobbie was the first person that came to mind. She really hasn't been used these past few years, and TPTB haven't even bothered to have her meet or refer to her ex-fiance, who is harrassing her daughter and basically killed one of her best friends. They only bring her out to prop the younger generation in their celebrations - not even their turmoil. Her latest contract was only for one year. That really said something. I feel for JZ, her marriage ends, now she quite possibly will loose her job. Not the greatest year for her. At least she has been business savy, and gotten a lot of other acting opportunities over the years (the movie you were referencing is already in the can, she did one or two days on it, according to her latest interview).

You know, the character of Bobbie was the reason I started watching GH 3 decades ago. If she goes, it will certainly feel like the end of an era for me. No other entertainment media lets you invest in actors and characters the way soaps do.

I also agree with the general discussing about Bobbie's death being more realistic that Skye's financial problems for bringing Luke into the mob war. As for Skye, if they are going to persue a financial problems storyline for her, that shows how myopic the writers truly are. She's a Quartermaine, for heaven's sake, and before that a Chandler. Adele Chandler left Skye her estate, I believe, and she's had a string of husband, some who've died and left her money (Skye isn't a new character to daytime, either). She has money in her own right, outside of Alcazar. Financial struggles don't track.

remos, what has been confirmed? 'Cause I've seen nothing about GF returning.

I was flipping through one of the soap rags at the grocery store yesterday, and I read one of them saying EWCBO was confirmed for November. Now, someone on the other board (aside from one of us) says that's not to be believed anyway. So I'm just gonna keep my mouth shut now, 'cause I don't have any inside information, and I truly hope I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Glad to see Lunacy won, now what do I do to start the morning?

Ms Q, Oh Baby! is great, as ever!!!

Luke rides into town to discover a few things have changed. After being caught up by Tracy, He demands that Scotty keep his spawn away from his daughter. Luke tells Scott to keep his bastard away from LuLu. Luke helps spring Tracy, but Tracy remains cool towards him. Luke learns that Skye is struggling as Lorenzo left a debt behind. Luke decides to enter the game. Tracy remains conflicted about Luke, especially after seeing him and Skye rekindling some old embers as they talk about LuLu/Logan/Scott. When Tracy gets sprung, she and Edward go head to head for control of ELQ. Scotty offers his help in exchange for a piece of the pie. Which side will take him up on the offer?

Luke confronts Logan and things don't end well for young Logan.

Luke is the only one who knows/has seen Zacchara in some past association and he'll be working with Sonny and Jason. Luke is pulled into the mob war after Leslie's death.

Yeah some of these are the ones I saw. I also read the notice about more than a bit of salt - I just assume that with all spoilers these days.

The one at the end is new. A wonder how that will affect EWCBO - which, btw, has been confirmed by one of the rags.

2007 - 2006 - 2005 Compared

Jan: 9 - 13 - 2

Feb: 16 - 9 - 4

March: 8 - 9 - 4

April: 7 - 13 - 5

May: 9 - 5 - 13

June: 11 - 6 - 11

July: 7 - 4 - 8

August: 2 - 6 - 1

2007 Totals thru August: 69 (not 71 as reported on this site - though I could be wrong)

2006 Totals thru August: 65

2005 Totals thru August: 48

So, forgetting about 2005, if the SON numbers are right, she had 78 at the end of last year, 2006, which means just 13 episodes (78 minus 65) in Sept. Oct, Nov, and Dec. Just 13?!?

Hmm, let me see... 4 in Sept, 4 in Oct, 10 in Nov, 2 in Dec. Ooh, that's 20. I guess I should've allowed for human error in the SON counts. But chances are, I also messed up. Just a note, but in 2005, she had 30 episodes in Sept, Oct, Nov, and Dec, and if we recall, she was on zero times in Sept, so that means 30 episodes in the 3 months of Oct, Nov, and Dec. Darn good.

ANYWAY...If my numbers are accurate, that would be 85 total for 2006, NOT 78 (78 for 2005 appears to be correct; it's 2006 that's off), so...She'll need 17 episodes in the next 4 months to beat her 2006 counts and 10 more in the next 4 months to beat her 2005 counts.

*embarrassed that she did this, Ms. Q goes into hiding*

I guess it's not that bad though. I had all this written/typed in various places, so it's not like I went through 256 (times 2) daily transcripts in search for her name, which is what I'd have to do for 2004 if I was interested. Actually, I am interested, but I'm going to have to pass. LOL.

I think you're missed your calling, Ms. Q, you should be teaching Statistics, not Spanish.

I'm up again, after nearly 72 hours in bed waiting for my head to explode. (Drugs are such a wonderful thing!) Thanks for all the good wishes, both private and on this board.

So, I see some September spoilers on SOC listing Tracy.... any word from any other sources?

Okay, all you mothers out there......have you ever heard of liver as a remedy for pregnency troubles???

Tracy seems to think it works!

Ah.... yes...... and why????

I'm back. Sunburned and wanting some TQ conversation. I'm still reading, but anything happen this week. See MF has a new fic for prompt #55, have to saunter on over there once I'm updated.

Edit: I see Oh Baby is posted too. What fun!!!

BTW, that song was really cute (just wish I could get the whole tune in my head to hear it to music).

Computer withdrawal? One of my first commands was to a kid to turn on the computer. Loved the lake, missed my 'puter.

The Women of Port Charles

Who is your favorite female character on GH?

What are her strengths? What are her weaknesses?

Has she grown since coming to Port Charles?

Where would you like her storyline to go?

Do you have a memorable moment that hooked you on the character?

So far, smirks, Doughman, zh95 (Truke), and ricishot have all chosen Tracy.

Anyone want to answer the questions (here and there, if you have an SOC account)?

I see that there's even a suggestion for a Tracy appreciation thread. That's what I like to see.

Off to the nether, computer-less regions of my province. Oh well, we're on the lake.

Take care. Tell me if there's good gossip. Those of you starting school this week - enjoy it!

See you this weekend.

I flove Petunia, and I'll wrestle anyone who says anything bad about her. Okay, so she's a child-abusing social climber with serious self-esteem issues, but she's a misunderstood child-abusing social climber with serious self-esteem issues. And Fiona Shaw is da bomb and da diggity.

Okay, I'll give you that one, since I haven't finished book 7 and don't know the whole story. LOL

On Fiona Shaw, however, we agree completely.

Great news...I knew there had to be at least one good reason I married my husband...for his father!!!!! He recovered all my stuff from my old hard drive, hooked up a new computer to my monitor...transferred/copied all my old stuff on the new one and reconfigured my speakers. God I love that man!!!! My new hero!!!

That's wonderful!!! I'm so glad to hear that. One stresser removed.

Best of luck with the party, hope Justin has a great time.

Another amazing story, Hooked, you are far too hard on yourself.

EWCBO is the Emmy-winning chair bound one. TL's nickname for she who shall not be mentioned, at least not before breakfast. Come to think of it, EWCBO wouldn't be Hufflepuff because she's not Hogwarts worthy...she'd be a squib.

Ah BSG, you made my day with your observations. Squib might even be too much. She's a flat out Muggle - a la Petunia. (Respectfully, MF, the character, not the actor)

Okay, I'm going away for this upcoming week. Is there anything about our girl yet?

Here is another photo from that time period for the few of us who might have not seen it.

Wow, I've seen this photo on something MF has. Jane as Katherine Hepburn, or what?

Anyone have a completely edited birthday clip from 2006?

EDIT: btw, Ms. Q. Just wanted to tell you that Rusty requested the "Pretty Mommy" before he fell asleep tonight (kid's not stupid, he knows what will allow him to stay up longer).

Anyway, after seeing your "Best Of..." 13 times on a loop (for those counting, yes, that's over 26 minutes straight), I couldn't help seeing a pattern. Did you realize every outfit that attracts you is either black or red (spectrum) or to a lesser extent, white or green (spectrum), and all expose her decolletage.

Just thought I'd share.

I'm assuming from the decided lack of talk here, that TQ was not on today.

I'm bored, so let's play the GH Sorting Hat Game:

What Hogwart's house would your favorite character be sorted into?

Tracy: Slytherin

Alexis: Ravenclaw

Georgie: Hufflepuff

Dillon: Gryffindor

Alice: Gryffindor

Edward: Slytherin

Monica: Ravenclaw

Alan: Gryffindor

Luke: Slytherin

Bobbie: Slytherin

Lila: Hufflepuff

Any discussion? Laughing at me?

Yeah, it's a slow day when.....

Bobbie in Slytherin? I don't know. I think she's make a better Gryffindor candidate. She always gets out of trouble with street smarts, not manipulation.

Diane is a Ravenclaw chick if ever there was.

Here's my first (and last ) fic ever:

Click my livejournal link below for "On Hold"

http://tracyluv.livejournal.com/

Wow. I go to sleep with Ms. Q's latest fic, and start the morning with TL's. The day is good already!

That was amazing, TL. Ya dun good, girl.

I feel your pain, Ms. Q. We are about to get hit with a big thunderboomer too.....sky is looking pretty black

And it looks like it's coming my way, oh joy, oh bliss....

Just 2 posts since very, very early this morning? What is happening to the TQ thread?!

Hope everyone's having a good day. I think I need a nap.

Anyone think they'll be around later?

I'm around, after watching a painfully boring hour of GH. The whole Eli Love thing is ending, so that will be the next two days. No TQ, not even a mention. And my solution to the whole Sam/Liz thing is for them to be locked in a room together and throw away the key. Six months from now we'll see who's still standing. Recycled conversations are not my idea of a good time.

So, fic writers, I'm going away next week..... will I have anything to read?

(And I discovered that homeschooling really can be done anywhere. Exerpt from a conversatin this morning: "Okay, I've yelled at you twice already, how many more times will I yell before you lose out on a treat completely?")
