remos

^^ the guy who put her in Shady Brook and didn't let her out until she manufactured a financial crisis? He would do it. However I doubt he would have the money or bother replacing mob money if he could make it look clean.

Tracy's mob connection has been mentioned a few times by Luke and Dillon (and Edward didn't seem surprised then). I'm still not convinced Edward doesn't know about the money. He's far too much of a rascal to say anything if it benefited himself and ELQ. That's not to say he won't make Tracy "pay" however, if it starts to go sideways now.

It will be interesting to see how much of this Tracy expose is actually news to Edward. Skye and AZ might be the ones surprised.

She was only blaming Tracy at first, until Tracy rightly pointed out no one can control the actions of another, then Monica agreed Tracy was right.

No. They had some beautiful scenes just after Lulu returned from searching for Luke, where Tracy admitted she believed Luke would come back for Lulu, and how much she missed and loved him. Those scenes were definitely showing more of Tracy in need. I hope this next set it Lulu in need because Tracy is an amazing mother to her. Love TraLu.

Some insider said getting spoilers how is like finding hen's teeth - I think we're all suffering spoiler drought because of it. Last one I read said Tracy would be stunned by how much dirt AZ has over her head.

<p>I remember GW said in one of his first interviews that he was &quot;handed a puzzle&quot; with Luke - which I roughly translated to &quot;handed a dog's breakfast and have to think my way out of this one&quot;. Sounds like he's got something worked out because the tone in the Fall preview was much different from the earlier one.</p> <div id="myEventWatcherDiv" style="display:none;"> </div>

I'm completely convinced this was the moment they finally realized they were in love, and everything starts again at this place. Such a beautiful moment, and I want them to have more like this too. The comedy wasn't always funny because the punch line was always the same. These two are always at their best in the heart-to-heart scenes. As for the hair - I like the ultra short look. I think nothing was as bad on her as the longer bob she was sporting towards the end of Luke being in the hospital. It was just too matronly on her. I'm not surprised in the least she is keeping it short. It's a lot less muss and fuss this way.

Ethina forever.

I watched and I didn't see it as a dig - I saw it as Jason being a typical hateful Q. But Jane was gorgeous - and I do think that smirk was Jane, not Tracy. I imagine those arguing Q scenes amuse them even more than they amuse fans.

I seriously doubt Luke would leave to help Skye especially since Skye is railroading Tracy and they haven't been in touch for months. GW has made that pretty clear.

<p>^^ Exactly, which is why I'm convinced Skye has no idea what happened to Luke and their family. She just assumes Luke took off on a sex romp or some such thing. The first time Skye said something about it, Tracy was out for blood. The second time Tracy didn't even flinch. I'm sure all this has proven to Tracy that Luke hasn't been in touch with Skye for a very long time, and that will please her.</p> <p> </p> <p>The other part of this is Skye isn't hanging around with anyone who would tell her the tale. For Edward it's just a sad story of a little boy killed because the driver was drunk. He has no idea how significant Jake was to his family. Monica isn't about to confide in Skye, nor are the Spencer sibs, nor JaSam, nor Carly, nor anyone else. Skye is completely oblivious to the drama from the spring.</p> <p> </p> <p>As for the line about sleeping with men they scam, I'm sure the actual intent of that was to suggest that Tracy was not only cold hearted but she was frigid. We might not have heard it that way, but I do believe it was a slam against Tracy being sexless.</p> <div id="myEventWatcherDiv" style="display:none;"> </div>

LOL only in the world of Tracy vs. Skye would that comment need to be made. And I think it's pretty obvious to both us and Tracy that Skye hasn't had contact with Luke for a very long time. That's probably why Trace hasn't jumped to the bait any time Skye has mentioned his name. Ugh… tell me about it…. I love the sound of all of this. Spencermainia is always a grand and glorious thing. I wonder what Tracy tells Lulu - it could go either way considering Tracy's changed perspective about love and relationships. But poor Krissy - she's getting a plate and a half these days. Do you know something or is that just spec? Nothing I've read even hints that Lucky and Luke interact before TG's full return.

Um... vacation when you have it isn't "involuntary". She's earned them, they are her perk, she's got the full benefit package, and she always takes this time of year. As for the saving, I don't see it as being overt as in Luke to the Rescue. I see it more as using his skills to work in her favour. Tracy doesn't need a hero, she needs a lover/husband/partner/supporter/BFF. Even if she doesn't come out on top, to at least have him with her is the significant part.

I'm not worried about Tracy's seeming lack of appearance. This story is getting its feet wet and that's it so far. Nothing has really developed. We just know it involves drugs, laundered money, old mob ties and ELQ. Outside of that we have a bunch of characters who have information on other characters. Luke doesn't have to be Tracy's hero if there isn't any real risk, and saving her financial ELQ-ass is the only way she would accept him as her "hero" (none of this burning building, maniacal kidnappings or dreaded diseases for her). There are far more holes and questions in this story then answers, which makes for a well planned tale. The fact that we can't predict where any of this is going is just wonderful IMO. Added to that - and we've known this for years - JE takes vacation in the late summer so she is NEVER on until mid-to-late September anyway.

I liked her with Jax - that would have been a good thing to continue. It would also be fun for Tracy and Skye to see how much they truly are alike - not that that will ever happen. I just want her to cut Tracy a little slack. Why not pick on Monica or Edward?

My rule with Skye is "Hands off Luke". Otherwise I've got no real problem with her. She's a leech, but she's our leech kinda thing.

<p> </p> <p>I've been thinking about this too, and the conclusion for me is this would be a problem if it was under Guza's pen where SaSon was always victorious and any other mobster was a threat that needed to be destroyed.</p> <p> </p> <p>But given that The City, and not GH, is the originator of &quot;Tracy and the Mob&quot;, I think this will be a very different tale. She's not a mobster per se, she's merely someone with a mob history, and quite frankly Tracy's history hasn't been mined at all. Tracy isn't interested in power or position within the underworld, she's merely a very smart business woman who is fleet of foot and rather light-fingered. None of that is new, really. And Luke knows about her history in NYC, so it's not as if Tracy's former connections will be a point of conflict in their relationship.</p> <p> </p> <p>For me, all this does is bring her into connection with some of the more interesting characters on the canvas - AZ, Johnny - while giving a new layer of conversation to the Spencermaine family. AND it give Tracy something more to concentrate on than Lulu, Luke and the Haunted Star.</p> <div id="myEventWatcherDiv" style="display:none;"> </div>

The man who should have been Canada's Prime Minister died today. We are a very sad nation.

Thanks Baby Boy. I just wish she had left her face alone. Seeing those flashbacks and then seeing her now is so jarring. I hope she lays off the surgery so her face can heal into something that looks natural.

I think JI is going to be one of those actors to "die with their boots on". That's the way to go really, not at home in some idea of retirement which is extremely hard on men. If you look at most stats, men don't live long after retiring unless they had a very full life outside of work. With these guys their work IS their hobby.

Umm…. ditto. Luke and Alexis? Fear about Laura? Worry about Skye? Seriously, do we have to go through this EVERY time TG is on vacation. LuNacy is the couple, no question. Notice how GW isn't fixing what's not broken in the first place. The couples that weren't working or were useless are being ended (Mabby, Dax, S&B.) The couples that work are being given stronger stories where they are working as a team without 3rd party interference (Scrubs, JaSam, and I'm putting LuNacy in this category). Then we have the prerequisite "poison but can't stay away from you" couple with Carson and the Geometrical Shape couple/triangle/quads with Spin/Maxie/Matt and Liz/Lucky/Siob/NuDr. And after all of these there will be some newly developing couples - is spoilers are to be believed - Ethina, Mac/Diane, Michael/Gina, Johnny/Abby. With all the action going on with new couples and a shift away from the mob-focus of the UnHoly Trinity, why would anyone waste the time with LuNacy going through relationship issues because of Luke's wandering eye when they've got enough on their plate with Gina/AZ/Luke's drinking/ELQ. Besides, Luke needs "redemption". (I've got to say, as a Christian Theologian that word is WAY overused and not really understood.) To have Luke with anyone else except Tracy would be a huge step backward for the character. JE and TG haven't begun to shine.

I'm rather content with Skye being Rae's daughter. I'm just disappointed that they dropped the Alan is the Father angle. Stuart Damon and Linda Dano and fierce chemistry, far better than anything he's ever had with Leslie Charleston or anyone else. I do want the abortion revisited. So many possibilities in that one, especially with AZ and Hellzabub running around freely.

Perhaps she didn't "get out" the way we think she did. I'd say no to Tracy being Gina's mother. Even with SORASing, the ages wouldn't work. The problem with giving any more children to the Quartermaine, Spencer or Corrinthos families is that they won't have any viable love interests. Could be money - Trace was hurting when she went to NY, and she's never had a concern about it since she left. Given how guarded she is with her cash, I wouldn't be surprised at her "ill gotten gains". Another possibility with money that would allow AZ to blackmail her is ELQ and how much of her own money (apart from Helena's money) she's invested. AZ is the kind of person who could create a plausible money laundering trail and hold that over her head.

<p>Boring, but amusing.</p> <div id="myEventWatcherDiv" style="display:none;"> </div>
