remos

Today was all about the Corrinthos Kids and the Spencer Sibs they spend time with. Lulu/Dante/Michael/Ethan/Kristina were on almost every set with Olivia/Sonny/Alexis proving their intelligence left them awhile ago. Fleshing out the cast was Claire/Jason/Carly/Johnny/Maya.... and the Judge. Pretty small cast actually - but things did move along. No mention of our babies, but Maya did take an interest in Spoon Island so with any luck she will be moved into the Cassidine Quarter - she's tanking big time with the Spencermaines. Potentially big news - Maura West is apparently close to signing and GH is acknowledged by those in the know as the best soap on the waves right now - followed by Days and BB (which I've heard sucks, so that doesn't say much for anyone else). Who could she possibly play? I would die if she was a Laura-recast. Highly unlikely but I would die laughing. Hopefully she'll be a Cassidine - but don't get her up in Luke's business at the expense of Tracy.

No LuNacy by half passed - but Dante's making the argument, Krissy is funny and looking rather grown up, and Sonny is blowing a gasket.

I don't think it's a matter of getting Tracy into a bed - she was in a hospital bed twice on her own and once cuddled with Luke, and she was cuddled with Luke in Wyndamere. Bed is fine - it's the activity of a love scene. What's the point of making an entire new set for the soul purpose of a couple of seconds of nothing? From a business POV I wouldn't bother when conversations can happen in other existing sets.

Not a new guy as in someone replacing Luke, a new guy as in someone to help Tracy realize the only one she wants is Luke. As for spoilers - the fact that she's involved with Franco bodes well. I've finally watched the entire show from yesterday and I've got to saw WOW... even JI doesn't have the ability to make AI's Maya any better. That was awful - highschool acting awful. I can't help wondering if they are keeping her because of the politically correct backlash. The comment "thanks for putting Zoe through boarding school" basically took care of any potential pairing with Michael in that department. We aren't going to see Zoe, at least not anytime soon. But Maya..... bad, very bad. I want to like her on principle - another Q daughter - but I just can't. I'm out of painkillers but a bottle pre-mixed Martini I purchased the other week is going down nicely - always Happy Hour somewhere in the world. Think I'll sleep and wake up for 3 PM.... eye still aches like a bugger but my sight is so much better. Drive safe Hooked, and hope your back is okay throughout.

Painkillers are working, but I can't sleep so here I am. Funny and ILTQ - I like both theories. I could see both as possibilities. Something is going down with Tracy for sure - why have that big to-do about Tracy and Franco if they were about to shove her in the vet closet for the next three months? I don't know if Valentine will be the guy, but someone new for Tracy is certainly a possibility and if Luke ultimately has to fight for her or her life, she might see that it's all worth it after all. As for the married/not-married, while I like the theory and would love it to be true, Luke's face today suggested that he knows he blew it. I'm interested to see what he might try though, and I hope he will FINALLY learn that the game/scams are over - it's time for the real deal all the time and not just in those magic moments. I hope the Spencermaine screamers keep popping into Tracy's way this summer - especially if a new man comes to town. It's one thing to think she can give up Luke. It's a whole other thing for her to give up Lulu or Ethan.

I agree Nex, but I got that as a complete afterthought, not something that was intended as cheap on his part. Today was certainly not played for comedy. Ms. Q - add to the Tracy insanity. I shouldn't be on the computer for at least 24 hours, but I've already checked out la Q today and here I am. Not for long but I had to put in my 5 cents. Recaps missed that Tracy told Luke he took away something that meant the world to her..... I thought that sweet and telling. He's hurt her badly but she still loves him as deeply as ever. The rings are good - he has them when he needs them again. Luke sweetly put her wedding ring on his left finger with his own and pockedeted her diamond. And he was seriously ready to kill Helena who was a complete bitch, saying it's a shame Tracy lived. Tracy is threatening Hellzabub with lawyers. I which Luke would take matters into his own hands and get that witch. Hellzabub wasn't the least big perturbed by her actions and justified them by saying this is what she and Luke did. The last moments of Tracy were the saddest though, alone and quiet in her room and showing her emotions for the first time.... she needed a hug. Now, for the spoilers - how many times has "someone big returning" been about Laura? And how many times has the internet lit up with that when Tracy and Luke have broken up? It's not Laura.... but that response is almost Pavlovian for LnLers salivating at the bit. I'd feel sorry for that exploited lot if they weren't such bastards about the whole thing. Other spoilers: Luke taking Tracy's money and she's said to take his in another set of spoilers....d'oy... I agree, why do we have to do this. If it is 15 mil like you originally floated Hooked, then it's more symbolic than anything. But I'm not altogether sure Luke DOES have his own money. Tracy owns the HS and Bobbie is majority holder at Kelly's. He can game or scam for it but Luke has always been written as someone who has talents, not a bank account. For years they lived off the Ice Princess until that was stolen (by Hellzabub I think). He might actually be stuck, especially if Tracy has impoverished him first. Eye hurting - not checking for misspelling. Nigh all

LuNaproppers - I LOVE it, LOL...... I'm even cool with JE enjoying a slower ride so long as the propping continues. It makes our combined summer vacations easier too.

I need to have a serious sit-down with Bobby-boy to explain some other ideas besides having LuNacy on the outs.... But this isn't anything new. It's almost comical to see who's thinking this means blood in the water. I want to see what will be said over the summer with so many pro-LuNatics in PC. I hope they don't disappoint. Just a word, I'm at the doctor's office for follow-up eye surgery. I won't be able to recap LuNacy today - sorry.

I think it's hilarious Ms. Q.... good job As for what's normal => the way I see soap fans is they are one of three groups of people who are extremely passionate about what they enjoy in the realm of entertainment: Soap fans, SciFi fans and Sports fans. We know statistics, moves, dates, players, background etc. So long as you don't want around naked with LuNacy painted on your tummy, I'd say you were fine.

Trace is supposed to be in the hospital tomorrow. I hope to hell Edward gives her at least one day before rubbing her nose in it. And LuNacy is not over - not by a long shot. We should know better than to think Luke would give up on her for good. After those vows of hers? How do you let a woman walk away who admits "You know my heart, you even know it beats faster when you walk into a room". He may give her space - for three months - but he's not leaving her. Marrying Ethan - oh man... do you think Ethan would be that desperate/stupid??? Green card be damned, that would ruin his relationship with Luke in one fail swoop.

Sweetheart, I miss my tag-team buddy. This is made of awesome!!!!! So impressed. Exposition. Love it. This was certainly a response to just about every negative LuNacy comment I saw online all weekend. Old Bobby boy and I have a date for a few rounds with a flogger (and not in a good way) but he does seem to anticipate reactions and respond within an episode or two, and that's weeks before it actually airs.

No... so much is conveyed in facial expression of course, and the written word doesn't cover it. Skye was actually wistful when she was talking about what Luke and Tracy have together, and it seemed pretty clear that the superficiality of romance paled in comparison to the 'spark' they had with each other. After Skye left Ethan turned to Maya and said he had plenty of 'spark' too, so it was seen as an extremely positive thing for a relationship.

I think this is a very clear indication that LuNacy is THE couple in for the long haul. I was posting over on SOC (btw, don't bother - it's anti-LuNacy season apparently) that of all the fanbases, over the past 5 year we LuNatics have had the most stability and comfort. We might not get every day and we might go stretches without, but it has only ever been one for the other with this duo. Even with the undoing of a legal marriage, that doesn't take away the fact that we have the longest running pairing now on GH. They aren't leaving each other's orbits. I don't think this will be solved before TG leaves, but I do believe it will be part of the summer while he's away.

This is what Skye has to say about Luke and Tracy....... Maya says Luke seems like a pretty cool guy and Tracy is a nightmare. Skye says she's not all that bad, Tracy sees her as a threat. Believe it or not they are actually good for each other. They're both smart and savvy, they like to match wits. Ethan contributes that they never get bored with each other, that's for sure. Maya asks about romance, and Skye says it's not always about romance is it, it's about whatever keeps the spark alive. And with Luke and Tracy that spark is surprisingly bright - it's something very few of us are ever lucky enough to find. Truth is, Skye envies them.

No actual LuNacy - just a lot of propping.......... Skye comes into HS and tells Ethan Luke and Tracy are returning in separate planes. Ethan is surprised Lucky was right and wonders why Luke called Skye, is he looking for some comfort. Skye says quite the contrary - Luke called her to tell her to get scarce and Skye thinks Luke and Tracy might be over this time for good. Ethan questions Skye more and she says Luke told her in no uncertain terms, and Skye tries working Ethan to help her with Alcazar's $$, but eventually says Jax is the man. Maya comes into find Ethan and says he has to find Luke. Ethan asks why and Maya says Tracy called from the plane and told Alice to get all of Luke's stuff on the lawn and stand by with the gasoline - it's the end of Luke and Tracy. Ethan chuckles and says no, Luke will find a way to turn this around and make it the beginning. Maya and Ethan continue to talk about LuNacy and Maya just doesn't get it. Skye joins in and says they are amazingly well suited for each other. Ethan thinks that's very generous of her and Skye continues to say they are both smart, witty, driven, etc. Maya still wonders about the romance. And Skye says it's not always about the romance, sometimes it's the spark and LuNacy have that - in fact they burn extremely bright. Skye actually envies them.

That wasn't the twist, that was the extremely romantic moment the SID podcast guy talked about. A twist is something more profound, and Romantic Twist hasn't happened yet. I'm not giving into negativity.

The romantic twist is coming, but it's going to be awhile until it does. As for the amount, while 15 million would be symbolic I highly doubt he'd do that to her. However it might shove home the point - she wants to make this all about money then fine, he's taking what he came for and leaving. That would be something for her to chew on in his absence. I'm curious to know what the Spencermaine Jrs. are going to say about this. Even Lucky sees LuNacy as a unit now.

It may be one of their many games, but when is that boy going to learn - Tracy can only play so far, and if he tells her it's not about the money on one hand yet steals from her on the other the message seems pretty clear that it ultimately IS about the money. We might know better but Tracy doesn't and many fans don't either.

Her fever broke.... that's all.....

I'll have to do 'ring watch' again. 3 scenes with LuNacy EDIT - you know what I think it is, Luke arrived playing Dr von Schemmerman, and was immediately imprisoned with a sick Tracy. I bet he wore his ring on the right hand as part of the disguise and hasn't changed it back yet. I hope when Tracy's ring comes off (I hope Luke leaves his on) she has some moments of sadness - this is not an easy thing for her and right now she's just yelling. She hasn't been quiet yet and that's when this is truly going to land in her gut.

The cough - good point. But the same thing happened during the Toxic balls. She was so weak she could barely move, but when they had to get her on the chopper she stood up like she was returning to the Martini Bar. I suspect we will get the coughing and whatnot when they return to PC and Steve has her checked out. As for answers from Luke, she's not even interested in asking the questions at the moment. When he's gone she will start to think about it more, I imagine. Up until then she's just too angry.

Luke concedes the point that the marriage in Vegas wasn't legal but his love isn't a scam. Tracy says he loves the money, not her. Luke says at the beginning but not now, he does love her and she knows it. And furthermore she loves him. Past tense she says, but Luke says he doesn't buy it. What's between them is real. The beginning was fun a playful but somewhere along the line it changed into meaningful. Tracy says what she's going to do first is gather up all his belongings, light a match and have a cleansing fire. Luke tells her that's cold, but before they get there they are stuck in a cell with "flying monkeys" outside and who knows how long they will be there. Nicholas arrives with the key and lets them out. Luke looks at the "Prince of Darkness. Come to lead us to the gallows?". Nicholas asks if he's in there for a reason. Tracy says 'wow, and people think Quartermaines are crazy'. She says on what planet are people locked in the dungeon for a GOOD reason? Helena nearly killed her. Luke concurs and says she'd be gone if it wasn't for his love and care. Tracy says no, it was his misplaced mistake of honesty that they aren't really married that snapped her back. She orders Nicholas to let her out of there but Luke can be hung from a gargoyle. Nicholas says they are both leaving together and he'll personally see they are on a plane off the island. Lucky comes in and says that's interesting "brother". Nicholas rolls his eyes. Lucky welcomes everyone and says Ethan told him not to get involved in the plan, so what was the plan. Luke says there was a plan. Helena took Tracy and locked her up because Hells knew Luke would follow her. Tracy says to hell with it, she wants to get her out of there to a 5 star hotel. Nicholas puts his hands in surrender and tells her the plane will take them both to Athens. LuNacy storms past the two and leaves. Nic turns to Lucky and says he did exactly what he said he would do if he found them. Lucky says he's still not a hero. Lucky tells Nicholas that it's insane that Hellzabub took LuNacy and threw them into a dungeon like a sac of garbage, then proceeded to point out Helena did the same with him and almost destroyed him.... blah blah Liz blah blah broken trust.... Eventually Lucky closes the door and locks Nic inside

Same thing was said about CH being in a scene with Franco because NLG wasn't available. I much prefer Alexis there myself, but I'm not sure how I'm feeling that these actresses can be used interchangeably. Were looking at LuNacy for 6 days straight at least. Funny comment on SOC - that if TG didn't take his annual vacations, LuNacy would be seen more than the mobbies combined. I said I WISH..... don't think they were meaning it to be a good thing. Okay, so how funny is this (my husband almost lost it when I told him). Rusty (now 5) was checking out his body the other night and calls me over. "Mommy", he asks, "what's this part behind my penis that feels like a brain?"

New mediapics for next week. Luke with Alexis only.

More tweets on TG - leaving June 30th after 'much hilarity' with Lucky, expected back end of September-ish. Also NLG rumoured to have re-signed. No confirmation yet.
