remos

We've got that rumour of AZ being "killed" so I'm guessing not that long. This is just the catalyst to the story, not the story itself. GW promised romance, so I'm guessing along with it being a story with great characters, ultimately it's LuNacy's romantic reunion story so interlopers will be sidelined fairly quickly.

I've never liked Laura, I think she is a useless character, but if they can do something intelligent with her as a theme then fine. I'm still not going to get my knickers in a dander about LuNacy - I think they are still the solid pairing. I just want Luke to be definitive and none of this "I choose Tracy but I'm not going to make it clear to anyone through words" BS we had from the other year. I like that Tracy is getting backed into a corner with no apparent way out, then Luke will arrive to eventually show her the secret door of escape. Tracy loosing all of he money and position isn't a bad thing either, because again the opportunity will be there to prove to her that Luke wants her and not her money. But I don't see them keeping Tracy as a commoner for long - if at all - she's far too impressive with money to throw around. And if she and Luke are going to be playing ball with Helena and Anthony, then she needs all the sources of power she can get.

Every time someone mentions Laura or so little thing is done, the boards and spoilers are full of "Laura Returns", and it's almost always false. I'm not getting concerned with it one way or another. I'm just going to focus on LuNacy and see how everything plays out. I have no doubt the fan reaction to Tracy/AZ is full of entertainment - he's about the only one she spends time with right now and the zingers are great, but that's about it. I'm still wondering how much of this action Johnny will get in on. Once upon a time he was quite respectful of Tracy, and even now I don't think he's amused that his father is setting out to hurt her. I read somewhere amoung the spoiler boards that insiders are being fed false information to smoke them out, so until I see it on the screen I'm not going to believe too much. Already a number of the spoilers on DD have been proven to be false - more so then when Guza ran the show.

^^ I agree that the Tracy/AZ stuff is squirm-worthy. AZ is just not a romantic anything, and I'm glad to see throughout that even though Tracy doesn't believe Luke is coming back, she still sees herself as his wife - none of this ring removal we've had in the past. It's all just set up for the romance that will come for LuNacy. They have some huge hurdles to overcome and Luke has to do most of that work. To make Tracy vulnerable where it really hurts her (ie: ELQ and her financial security) is rather a brilliant move, and to make it at the hands of the town leech means there is only one outcome in all of this.

A large brick? Ouch!

Yup. He'll get a rude awakening, but that means Tracy is in more peril than she realizes. Good think Luke is around to watch her back, along with other parts.

<p>I'm having one of those days where I just can't seem to get out of bed and get going. Days like this I LOVE the fact we homeschool and I didn't have to be anywhere for the first time in days. So I finally got the chance to catch up on GH, and all I can say is WOW. I love this show. The only parts I FF'd through were Sonny - but then I always did. If any character needs a major holiday or to be the centre of a who-dun-it, he's the one.</p> <p> </p> <p>Anyway, some thoughts…..</p> <p> </p> <p>- Luke is almost all back. Not quite there yet, but coming.</p> <p>- Skye is gone. Hallelujah!!! She wasn't quite the pill this time around, but if that was GW's idea of a &quot;ping pong ball&quot; I'd hate to see his version of a lead balloon. Skye sparked enough trouble to last for quite some time</p> <p>- Lulu needed her Mama, and Mama gave Lulu what she needed. I really love those two, and only Tracy could have told Lulu to get over herself with such strength, pathos and wisdom. And Lulu heard it, which is what makes these two so beautiful. They can come broken to each other and in their own unique way they help paste the other back together, even if it includes sanding down the rough edges in the process.</p> <p>- Tracy sensed Luke's presence. <img alt="" class="bbc_emoticon" src="http://boards.soapoperanetwork.com//public/style_emoticons/default/wub.png" title="" /> No one can convince me that LuNacy is not the couple going forward. Regardless of all the blind items in spoilers and GF becoming persona non grata at another show, only the truly blind cannot see the connection between these two and in that one powerful moment, GW made their connection even stronger. The only other person to sense Luke was Lucky. That puts Tracy and Lucky alone in the category of spiritually connected to Luke. Ethan and Lulu are loved and family, but their ties to Luke are different.</p> <p>- I've wanted AZ/Hellzabub against Luke/Tracy for ages, and this looks like we are heading in that direction. The irony on that one of course, is that Tracy is the &quot;good&quot; matriarch to champion. I love that, lol. This particular quad will be a joy to behold. Each is more cutthroat than the other but only one is truly sane. Two are psychotic and one is masochistic. What has the world come to that Tracy is the fulcrum on General Hospital!</p> <p> </p> <p>One more thought….. Shawn in a towel….. MORE PLEASE!!!</p> <p> </p> <div id="myEventWatcherDiv" style="display:none;"> </div>

<p>I have so much Tracy to catch up on. How far should I go back? Last Monday or before?</p> <div id="myEventWatcherDiv" style="display:none;"> </div>

On the surface it all sounds questionable without actually seeing it, but GW has already proven himself to be able to weave story and showcase relationships in a way that makes sense. His tenure during the strike could have been even better if not restricted by others. I have no doubt it will all come together when the time comes.

<p>But that's the simple reading of the Tracy/Edward story from 30 years ago. Everywhere I looked people were thinking the development in their relationship was totally OOC, so now it appears the writers are ruining all of their advancement. </p> <p> </p> <p>You can only pander to so many fan bases. Obviously being the &quot;Real Quartermaines&quot; doesn't take into consideration the positive things that have happened in that family over the years. </p> <p> </p> <p>If Luke is going to help Tracy with AZ, I hope he also shoves it so far up Edward's ass he chokes. That's been a long time coming and I STILL haven't seen Luke do much to tell Edward to back off of Tracy.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Hooked</strong>, did you see my message on FB? Check out Khan - it's got a lot that might help in the short term.</p> <div id="myEventWatcherDiv" style="display:none;"> </div>

Some chicken-sh!t foreign student stoled the SIM card from my daughter's cell phone during our move and wracked up over $600 in international calls. Who raises their children to think it's acceptable to steal like that? I am SOOOOOO pissed. I hope Tracy is worth the effort this week or I might just give AZ another job in Spain with a couple of lame-ass teenagers.

Who cares. The bottom line is Luke is being who Tracy needs FINALLY.

^^ Some great Tralu and some Tracy/Edward sparing, but that's about it.

The heart attack was under GW's pen. The bar is set, and we have another 4 months to go. I know she had a horrible early 2011, but August alone is one of her best ever from my recollection (Lulu's abortion might have had more). I don't think she'll make her maximum, but it's certainly going to be a lot better than if Guza was still writing.

Are they no longer releasing the medianet photosto the general public Hooked? I've gone to the site the last couple of weeks and I've found nothing. Luke helping Skye leave town - I'm fine with that AZ blackmailing Tracy to spend time with him - I'm fine with that LuNacy eventually getting the upper hand together - it's inevitable and I'm great with that Luke bringing more of Tracy's "family" to the canvas - that would be wonderful No matter how this plays out, I'm looking forward to it. We know it's LuNacy for the win, so I'm just going to sit back and enjoy all the attention our girl is now getting. BTW anyone else see the episode numbers? Tracy had 8 days in August. That's 1/3 of the month and equal to her showing in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 combined. I think for the year she's at 54 days, or something like that. She'll never be a hog but this is so much better that it's been.

^^ This is a seriously well-thought woman. Jane more than anyone, makes me a fan of Tracy. I couldn't appreciate her decades ago, but I certainly admire her today.

Unfortunately fan's attention spans aren't that long.

What I've read is that Gina is supposed to be a cross between Claudia and Kristina with some Tracy thrown in for good measure. She is connected to Tracy so it will be interesting to see how the relationship is developed. As for LuNacy, you're right ILTQ - internal conflict is important. HOWEVER that's all LuNacy has had for ages, so it's way past time for them to be focused in another direction for awhile.

<p>^^ Helping Skye leave in exchange for information to help Tracy is about the only reason I can think of for those two to interact. They obviously haven't been in touch, and the last time Skye was around she realized how much Luke truly did love Tracy - deeply, honestly, proudly. I don't think GW would erase those little nuggets.</p> <p> </p> <p>Skye was never the story anyway, just someone to stir the pot.</p> <p> </p> <p>All that being said however, I can't wait to see how GW brings LuNacy back together. I just hope he sees what we have always seen, and that is as a powerful team that can wreck havoc throughout the town, rather than having to deal with endless internal discussions about trust.</p> <div id="myEventWatcherDiv" style="display:none;"> </div>

No, I never had hope, sadly. I'm in the category of "Prepared to be wonderfully surprised in the event of…"

I agree with you there. The whole abortion thing was handled badly - either go the distance or don't even bother. I still think Tracy could have been a wonderful support to Kristina - her almost granddaughter - with the abuse story. But then again even Alexis wasn't allowed to get involved, it ultimately had to be about Sonny. Don't read to much in to the spoilers Baby Boy, they don't go that far into the future. Bobbie…. I don't think we'll see her regardless, but Monica could still be around. It's just the days of Monica DRIVING story are probably over.

Well, I like your optimism, but we certainly aren't getting Thaao Penghlis back, and I can't see Tracy ever having a Cassidine baby - not one she walked away from, that's for sure. Tracy isn't cut like that.

If Tracy is going to be given a daughter, I doubt she would be in the young-adult group. That would limit her relationship potential with Michael and when Dillon returns (which I'm still seeing is going to happen).

<p>I wish LuNacy were mentioned in a spoiler together, but oh well….</p> <p> </p> <p>I hate to say it - and perhaps it's just the format and soundbites being used - but it sounds a lot like Guza. Now everything is in the execution and we know that GW has already started to deliver, so it is different. But on the surface….. you know…...</p> <div id="myEventWatcherDiv" style="display:none;"> </div>

YAY, Ethina!!! Thanks Hooked. EDIT I see in other spoilers for September that "two PC residents make their long awaited return". That's Luke and who else? Who's returning? I can't keep up with all the goings on. Hellzabub perhaps?
