Okay, so let me get this straight…. We have JE a few months ago crowing about being in an 'adult' triangle with Luke and Anna We see the triangle be extremely one sided We see - or in fact DON'T see - Tracy almost the entire summer We see a formal break-up of LuNacy who still won't truly let each other go We see Luke/Anna, who is so vile to the sensibilities of most that even LuNacy haters are demanding LuNacy for the win We see Tracy uncharacteristically sleep with a stranger…. And NOW TPTB are saying the opportunity to have Duke return is cause for a triangle for Luke and Anna, and this is going to make for great TV? Someone is talking out of their ass, and I'm going out on a limb to assume it's not Jane Elliot. Screw Luke and Anna - give Tracy and Duke a past and see what happens.

Jax and John being the heros would be great, but the trailer belies that. Significant Q story is not something I'm expecting, I just want to see them doing something other than being pushed to the side and treated as background day-players. I do agree with you though, jealous Tracy is not someone I enjoy watching.

They were part of the Toxic Balls story too, and that was all about Jason in the end. I appreciate what you're saying, but just because the entire cast is involved doesn't mean they will be involved significantly or that special moments won't be overlooked to see Jason's pain for the millionth time.

And again it's Jason and Sonny for the heros. How are the new writers innovative and integrating the cast?

Apparently not

I'm just so annoyed at TPTB for going there in the first place. What, there are no sexy GOOD guys anymore?

Chemistry, perhaps (mind you, JE has chemistry with everyone), but his delivery was so stiff. (there's just no way to express what I thought his acting was like without it sounding like a double entrendre….)

Just saw the Tracy segments from the Thursday and Friday shows. I wonder if the writers have any idea what they were doing, having JE and TG interact so naturally and normally, then have JE (who was amazing as always) and this actor who plays Joe Jr., who seems like he's doing a high school version of Sylvester Stallone. It was almost like watching the dancers around the Maypole - and Joe was the stiff piece of wood in the centre (no sexual imagery implied…. really, none… not even sex appeal). Nice to see Tracy get some attention for a change, but having her act like a smitten teenager isn't the way to do it.

That Vet Love Triangle is a hot mess. I don't think these writers know the first thing about writing a mature, meaningful story. Revealing Luke's lies now when there's no one to have fall-out? Ridiculous. What are we supposed to believe, that he's so in love with Anna that he wasn't to be honest and true? Kill him now, that is NOT Luke Spencer. (Perhaps we'll get lucky, and this is a plant, and the real Luke is locked away trying desperately to get back to Tracy.)

^^ Give it time. Luke and Anna are for the fail, no questions asked. When even in their 'break-up' Luke and Tracy can't let each other go, no one else will really last for either of them.

Well, Tracy deserved hers (nice comments about the women in her family being the sluts - accurate, too). Still wish he wasn't a mobbie.

I just wish it wasn't a mobbie.

Well done, Baby Boy.

If I'm wrong about the 'sleeping together', then I'm wrong, and I'm good with that (the being wrong part, not the Tracy sleeping with him part ). I was just pointing out that she's not "in bed" with whats-his-dick, any more than Luke was "in bed" with Anna. In my book, that's still not a Sex Scene. The closest we've had flesh-on-flesh for either of them in years, was the massage scene a few years back.

Is it? I thought it was her usual bad wardrobe - shows you how much I've been paying attention lately. Well, hate to say it but Tracy is a free agent. If she wants to sleep with someone, it's no one's business but hers. HOWEVER I'm willing to bet it was probably a way of getting back at Luke for Anna. No way does she sleep with anyone that easily. But then again…. this is a new writing team who think nothing of throwing people into bed way too early in a 'relationship'. Either way, if this is the 'new story' for Tracy, I'm even less interested. Wake me up when it's over.

Tracy's ON the bed beside him, not in bed with him. There is a difference.

Still not convinced we will see Tracy "in the show". Haven't yet. As time goes on, these writers are doing exactly what Guza did - highlighting the mobbies at the expense of everyone else. Where's the promised changes? *sitting with Lain on the sidelines, waiting for the good stuff and living large in the meantime*

I wonder if these male writers understand that women don't think "rapist" means "sexy, intelligent, witty, attractive and respectful". At least you could argue in Luke's case that he was caught up in the passions of the moment with a woman who was sending mixed signals. That's not an excuse, but it is a little more understandable. The others were calculating.

It will be interesting to see how this new man in Tracy's life shakes out. For the past 7 years, with the exception of Anthony (who wasn't really a 'love interest') it's always been other women for Luke. Time to really put the shoe on the other foot. But… alas I'm a LuNatic to the end. I will be awaiting their reunion.

Let's hope this is only the "break up" stage and that there is more to come. And I can't believe a thespian with TG's verbiage would use the term "re-excited". The Grammarian in me is screaming.

We'll the "love triangle" she happily spoiled was one sided, as suspected. I find it interesting that all this 'tip off' stuff happened the night of media attention - obviously they know using JE would be good for the show, so WTF can't they put their ego where their pens are and just get it done!

Luke/Anna was going to crash'n'burn anyway. There was nothing there to build on, and a whole lot of 'wrong' to destroy the lust. I just don't like that they are setting Tracy up for seconds….. again. Luke loves/loved her free and clear, regardless. The thought that she's only rebound material is horrendous. I realize that is the "type" she's traditionally played, but why does it have to be panned to? Why can't she be a character who gets her "finally, I'm first"? These writers are more stuck on stereotypes and traditional interactions than Guza ever was.

Sounds like TPTB are continuing their f*ck over of Tracy and LuNacy. Makes my decisions a whole lot easier, that's for sure.

That's what I figured. For all of their "We love JE", they really don't know what to do with her. So much potential wasted because they won't get their heads out of their collective asses. Glad she's content to be doing what she's doing. I'm content not having to watch her absence.

I haven't watched in ages, but apparently he did call her on yesterday's show (25th) in the last scene, telling her they needed to talk, and there's also a preview for either today or tomorrow where the two are on together and Tracy confronts him about really dumping her so he could be with Anna.
