Oh, I don't believe that marriage is legal for one second, but AZ thinks it is and that's half the battle. With Luke giving that info on Johnny, he's basically tied AZ up in different knots with Sonny as the focus (thus taking it off himself and the rest of the Spencers). I don't think their divorce is real either, but I'm not completely convinced Tracy knows what Luke is up to - just that he's in her corner and might or might not be helpful in the long run. The way she was saying "how did I get myself into this" the other day belies any sense that she and Luke are in cahoots on this one. I honestly don't think she totally trusts him to rescue her. She hopes he will, but he's let her down so many times that she probably feels she's got to figure this one out by herself.

<p> </p> <p> </p> <p>LOL, this is fabulous! The mind boggles that in this day and age with such uptight &quot;political correctness&quot; those two are so comfortable with their characters and with each other that they flaunt their S&amp;M (probably some B&amp;D too) and have so much fun doing it. I would LOVE to be a fly on the wall when they talk this out. <img alt="" class="bbc_emoticon" src="http://boards.soapoperanetwork.com//public/style_emoticons/default/laugh.png" title="" /></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Lainey</strong>, Luke gave Tracy a gift &quot;of love&quot;, and told her &quot;thanks for the memories&quot;. She smiled and turned to open it. It was a riding crop, and when she took it out of the box he swatted her on the behind then left the room. Earlier he also made comments about wondering if AZ knew the real story behind her nickname.</p> <div id="myEventWatcherDiv" style="display:none;"> </div>

OMG that was HILARIOUS!!!! I played that exchange over and over. I don't know how TG pulled that off without laughing, and JE almost didn't make it through. I don't think she expected that as his final "comment" on the way out the door. I gotta say, after months of not watching, these past number of days with these two have been must-see TV (just glad I have my FF for all the rest… although BB is killing it with his own story).

They are doing what LuNacy does best - bantering, loving each other, and working together to get something done. This is how LuNacy should always be.

Yeah… not nearly as good as LuNacy yesterday though. More about Lulu's drinking than anything of substance with "Tracy talks to Lulu about her love life".

<p>That's so sweet. Thanks for bringing that over.</p> <div id="myEventWatcherDiv" style="display:none;"> </div>

LuNacy is LOVE!!! Spanky, Baby, Darlin', Honey…. so nice to hear these names again. I think Tracy does believe that wedding was real but Luke has done something in addition to that bomb on Johnny. He's in this for her and she knows it. Hooked, I don't think she and Luke are scamming Anthony, not by what I saw today. Luke certainly is doing something and Tracy is trying to brave the next step in her nightmare, but there's no hint that she is in on his plans. I'm wondering if the Luke/Edward conversation on Friday is about Luke moving back in. At least we will have them all under one roof, which is the fun of the Q's. I'm not a fan of AZ in general, but you certainly can't deny that JE/TG/BW in the same scenes are entertainment personified.

Oh, I would LOVE that to be true, but I think her face on Friday belies that. An interesting and ironic observation from my POV, was on Wikipedia yesterday and after seeing her listed as Tracy "Quartermaine" for the entirety of her marriage to Luke (as far as I remember), she's already listed as "Quartermaien Zacchara". Agenda perhaps? LOL.

Yeah, its pretty hard on the head. The only thing that makes it endurable for me is the facial expressions and that LuNacy are in it together. I'm hoping the drops that AZ isn't long for this show/earth are true - he's slime. The various meetings this week between Lulu/Luke/Tracy/Edward should offer some insight, I hope.

TPTB are picking that obscure reference? That seems odd to me - and would put us at 10 not 9. Was there weddings for others that she didn't follow through with?

Okay, 9th wedding? Someone help me out here because I can only count... 1. Larry Ashton 2. Mitch Williams 3. Paul Hornsby 4. Gino Soleito 5. Luke Spencer (May's) 6. Luke Spencer (December's) 7. Anthony Zacchara Who am I missing? And another thing. Soaps can stretch reality a number of different ways, but there is no way that marriage is legal - even if the officiator was legitimate. Regardless though, the whole thing with kissing/touching Anthony just gives me the willies. I hope Luke plays his hand soon.

<p>Both are quite plausible. Around the dial the suggestion is that he's waiting for Tracy to be AZ's widow for all that money, but that's not Luke's style. If I had to bet though, I'd go with paid off the official. Luke was in a pretty dark place before this, but then again rewrites can make me happy. </p> <p> </p> <p>(Still waiting for them to fix May 19th)</p> <div id="myEventWatcherDiv" style="display:none;"> </div>

Just saw Friday's eppi and the last 30 seconds were well worth it. I don't recall the last time Tracy looked that happy to see Luke, but i do know that look of Luke's face - he's definitely up to something, has the angle worked out and is the puppeteer of the entire event. I don't think AZ is prepared for someone of Luke's calibre. It's going to be a bit bumpy, but I can't wait to see how this turns out over the next few weeks/months.

Nah, I don't think it's that noble. I think Luke has set something up or something in motion that appeals to Edward's baser interests. Edward - with rare exception - has not been interested in Tracy at all, but he's not above having fun at her expense.

<p>Luke always seems to be up to something, I just hope he gets to the point before something awful happens to Tracy.</p> <p> </p> <p>Love that Lulu is the middle of this one. Tracy brought Lulu and Luke together as a family, and now she's [hopefully] bringing them back together as a couple.</p> <p> </p> <p>Wonder what Luke and Edward can agree on….</p> <div id="myEventWatcherDiv" style="display:none;"> </div>

Aw, that is really sweet. Remember the other year when TG returned and JE was practically giddy on camera? It's so obvious these two love each other. I'm actually surprised by that little bit. JE is not one to share that level of personal information, but I'm not complaining.

NOOOOO!!! LuNacy CAN'T end! I'm not believing it's the end. Too many people suggesting that LuNacy are Love - it's just their egos that are getting in their way Maybe they are not really divorced just like they weren't married for many years. Maybe the divorce is a ruse? PLEASE! I can't see them EVER breaking up for good. Nope, can't happen. I've been wondering that myself. I'm still holding out that they were married legally in 2005 and the rest of this has been BS. As far as KM being PG, I meant Kimberly Mc, Not KeMo. Ah. Yeah, I did notice she's a lot chubbier than I remember. As for Days.... LOVE LOVE LOVE Marlena/Deidre!!! Drake is NOT a good actor, agreed. I only like Drake with Deidre and can't see Marlena with anyone else but John. Ugh…. don't even get me started What happened to Maxi? This new girl taking the role permanently? And this new Kate sucks @$$! ugh! And what's this I hear about Parsons? He's leaving? Maxi (KS) took a medical leave and the new chick replaced her for two cycles. KS on her way back. As for nu-Kate - hate the recast, no need since MW was available. Hopefully we will all be put out of our misery soon. Parsons is a loss, but they really didn't do anything with him in 3 years. They came so close with Ethina then they screwed that one. He's on for bigger and brighter, just like LA.

Did Luke know? Truly know? We assume he heard everything while he was eavesdropping but he might not. And blackmailing her into what? Luke doesn't have all that information. The thing is Lulu is free to figure it out because she doesn't have the emotional pain in all of this that Luke does. It's little wonder that Lulu and Alexis were the ones to recognize what's going on for Tracy, but Luke can't. I don't care if the current PTB only see Tracy as a Q and not a Spencer, it's obvious that the Quartermaines are still only her "relations" but the Spencers truly are her family. No amount of blood is changing which are the people who truly care about Tracy, and which have no problem throwing her to the wolves.

Awww…. Dante acknowledging with Lulu that Tracy has been like a mother to her and she's got every right to be worried about her. Love TraLu. And the dialogue the last few days has made me feel renewed in the possibilities of LuNacy. Being their fan can sometimes be a hard, lonely walk, but then we get Luke choking up about letting her go and Tracy telling AZ he can do anything but malign Luke in her presence. (AZ also said the marriage was starting in mutual hate, so I'm thinking we won't get Luke walking in on them in bed…. perish the thought… )

Eww…. if they are actually in bed than its rape, pure and simple. Considering all those LuNacy love scenes we DIDN'T see, I'm hoping we won't be subjected to anything heinous like that. AZ's plan is to torment her and then kill her - I can't see how sleeping with her is necessarily anything more than part of the mental torture because he knows damn well she's not willing. We'll see. He is that demented (as were the writing team).

<p> </p> <p>Okay, watched the show and whomever gave you that synopsis didn't do it justice.</p> <p> </p> <p>Yes those lines were said - with a rather pained look on Luke's face. Followed sadly with &quot;she used to like me just as I was, I was a challenge&quot;. He still called her &quot;wife&quot; and needed to correct himself. Alexis was just stating the obvious to a man who CLEARLY is still in love with Tracy but trying to be noble. Alexis had to remind him that Tracy would never be happy marrying a psychopath and would love more than anything for Luke to come get her. All in all it was rather supportive of LuNacy, and Luke was left with a lot to think about.</p> <p> </p> <p>This is not the smart-ass reviewers have been talking about, this is obviously a guy torn and thinking he's doing what's best for the people he loves. (When I have the time and inclination I'll watch Friday's scenes and see for myself if any reviewer actually did justice to the scene or if it was more superficial misinterpretations.)</p> <div id="myEventWatcherDiv" style="display:none;"> </div>

Aside from Edward, Tracy hasn't told anyone that AZ is threatening her. Haven't seen today but might attempt just to see what was actually said. It's all GW's pen at this point, which is proving incredibly disappointing.

<p>^^ Actually, Tracy, Luke, Ethan, Molly and Kristina used to drop literary and artistic references quite a bit. I think Diane and Spinelli were given the same opportunity. It's definitely not dialogue you would have heard from the Unholy Trinity though. There definitely seemed to be a strong line separating the &quot;Smart&quot; characters from the &quot;dumb&quot; ones (yes Sonny, I'm looking at you).</p> <p> </p> <p>Reading in the IL again. Doucebag is HILARIOUS!!! Man, I love reading his/her drops. I don't care if they are true, 50/50 or full of sh!t, they are just so entertaining and consistent. Douce has as much use for fools as I do.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Star</strong>, I like the thought of Jane as their &quot;bread and butter&quot; actress. If that's the case then she might be used more and better. I'm still quite intrigued by those six being the first spoken to. MB is reportedly not happy (YAY!!!) SBu and KeMo will do whatever it takes to stay (a Q and a Cassidine…. there's hope there), LW has been said to be easily replaced a few times (more YAY!!!), which leaves TG who will retire if he doesn't like what's happening and Jane who's only stayed more than one contract length this past time around and it sounds like the current PTB understand what she does, what she represents and who she connects. As always, we'll see, but oh…. how I wish I was a fly on the wall.</p> <div id="myEventWatcherDiv" style="display:none;"> </div> *FRAK this stupid site. Why can't the HTML stay consistently on? No one needs to see formatting codes*

Just over at the IL - always entertaining but even more so now. There was actually a plan to have Alexis marry Luke? Seriously????? Now I'm more convinced than ever that GW wrote that dialogue on Friday. What complete idiocy. Friendships like Luke and Natasha's should never be compromised for simplistic romance.
