Yup. It was strange but I'm glad they did it. They had her voice on the phone too. I'm hoping that means we will see Luke put somewhere by Helena too. Just once in his groggy state I would like him to call for Tracy 'cause she's the only one on his mind....

Recaps, Wednesday June 10th STATS Vets: Monica, Helena, Tracy, Luke, Mike Kisses: one quick one Appearances: white jacket, black shell and pants Other Stories: Scrubs are pulled into the story of the mayor's mistress (he's more interested in his reputation than his mistress); Maxie at Jason's trying to get clemancy for Johnny and Spinelli about the Claudia tape; Rebecca tells Jason about her twin while Nicolas tells Lucky and Liz; Johnny and Jason discuss Claudia/Michael; Lucky and Ethan have a more polite conversation at the Amnityville Horror about Luke, and Ethan is there when the DNA test results come in - positive. Line of the Day: Major doing his campaigning while Scrubs wanting information about his mistress; Liz to Lucky "Why are you so open to Rebecca and so closed to Ethan?" Sc. 1 - No LuNacy; Hells overhears Ethan/Rebecca talking on the docks; Nicolas escorts Monica into a waiting room to talk about Emily/Rebecca Sc. 2 - Tracy looking at the books and realizes there are no profits, saying he's never open and when he is Ethan takes advantage of the customers. Luke thinks that's not a fair assessment. Holly is back and saying she's in trouble Dubai (she's actually on a massage bench). Tracy grabs the phone and tells her to get another sucker because this one is taken, then hangs up on her. Luke says she was over the top and Tracy says Holly is just pulling her number again. Luke points out that he had no intention of going. Why invite her back, Tracy asks? Luke says he's organizing a big game and Holly is always welcome. But if he didn't leave with Holly when she was there, why would he leave now? Tracy says he's always ready to put on his cape and go to the rescue. Luke says he doesn't wear a cape, and he's getting a little tired of having this conversation.... he's not leaving her for Holly or anyone else. What is it going to take for her to believe that? Meanwhile at GH Nic has told Monica, who is stunned about Rebecca and Paige giving up one baby - no wonder she was so anxious that Monica take Emily, considering she's already given one baby to strangers. Monica wonders about Rebecca. And at the docks Helena overhears Ethan pumping Rebecca up to stick with the con. She tells Ethan every Q is on her side except the "one your boss is married to". Ethan chuckles and says she's got bigger fish at the moment. Sc. 3 - Tracy says she knows how it works, because she's been through it more times than she can remember. He says he will stay then suddenly he's gone along with a chunck of her money. Luke asks if she's checked her accounts and she says no, should she? Luke says she doesn't need to but she might want to because he's not going anywhere. Tracy wonders again why she should believe it because he always rushes off to Holly's rescue. Luke assures ehr that Holly has used up her share of rescues and he's not going anywhere. Ethan walks in at that time and asks if Holly called. Yes, Luke says. You don't seem concerned, Ethan comments, what did she want? Tracy says to Ethan that "Mama wants Daddy". "Well Mama doesn't get Daddy, Mommie" Luke replies to Tracy. Give it time, Tracy says. Oh, paranoid and jealous, you make me so hot, Luke says. You keep this up and (sorry, I just can't do it justice). Look, Luke says, I will go back on the road, that's what I do, but it's not happening now. Fine, Tracy says, but let me put you on notice that this is the last time - you go now and that's it. Meanwhile Nic actually got the brain today and things Rebecca might have known from the beginning about Emily and wanted her cut of the money. Monica says the Q's were always open to her, but Nic is wondering if it is all an act and he won't be ammused if he's been using Emily to get to him. Sc. 4 - You're coming dangerously close to making this a self-fulfilling prophacy, Spanky. Tracy says she's not playing this time. It's not fun anymore... no more barfy plane rides, no more trips through the jungle, no more a whole lot of things. I will not share you with Holly Sutton. If you want to go with her, fine go. But this is the end. However she hopes he stays and kisses him quickly then leaves. Luke is looking for more of a kiss and can't really believe what Tracy said. Ethan says she's right. Et Tu, Luke asks him. Ethan says look mate, she's been through it all and this way if she pushes you away she still has control (again, I know I'm not doing this justice). Luke ponders. Sc. 5 - no Tracy; Dont get me wrong, Luke says. PC is small but he will take off, just not today. Then Luke offers Ethan to tag along. Ethan's still not convinced Holly is telling the truth. Luke is convinced but Ethan still putting up the arguments. Luke tells Ethan that he, Lucky and Lulu are the kids he leaves behind to prove he was once there. What if it's only Lucky and Lulu, and I'm just a ringer? Ethan asks. I'll love you like a son anyway, Luke says, but he knows he's got three kids. Ethan gets up antsy and says he can't wait, he's got to move, and then he leaves. I rest my case, Luke says to the room. Sc. 6 - no Tracy; Rebecca comes into the HS looking for Ethan, but Helena appears and tells her she's been following Rebecca and knows the whole story. Helena threatens Rebecca who doesn't fall for it. Helena tells Rebecca she want's many things from Nicholas and she's going to make that happen. Don't count on it, Rebecca tells her and leaves. Luke who's been listening comes out from behind the curtains and surprises Helena saying he heard that she wants to you the "Emily Clone" to get to pathetic Prince Nicky. Luke darling, Helena says, I wish you hadn't heard that. Luke just smiles menacingly. Sc. 7 - no Tracy; Monica brings Rebecca into the waiting room, and Becks appologizes. Monica says she knows everything from Nicholas and she promised Paige to take care of her daughter, so she will. Rebecca won't be a replacement for Emily, but she is certainly part of the family. Monica invited Rebecca into the Q family, which relieves Becks who thought she was going to fire her. Monica laughs and says after a couple of nights at the mansion she might wish she was fired. Rebecca is overwhelmed, and they hug. Meanwhile at the HS. Luke confronts Helena and says true love is supposed to be perfect not a weapon. But that's what she does, Helena cackles, and everything she does is ultimately for Nicholas. Not this time Luke says, because he knows her plan. At that moment one of Hell's henchmen (Apollo) knocks him out and Helena is most appreciative of the boy. She dismisses him and then turns Luke over with her food, esclaimingin glee that it's been a long, long time since she had Luke at her mercy. Poor Lukey is passed out on the floor of the Haunted Star. Moments before the results of the DNA test came in, proving that Ethan is indeed Luke's son.

Yes I have.... he's doing well but Star had to return to work this past Monday. That broke my heart. If she lived in Canada she would have a year to be with him. He's apparently the "star" of the preemie section and has gained back all his weight lost after birth. As for the show, I think the idea of having Rebecca and Ethan in that bar scene was an afterthought - not the connection itself.

Not in Canada either, which really bothers me. ABC could get a better sense of who watches if they would allow their signal to be international - it's not that hard. Tony left early May but pre-taped so Luke leaves tomorrow - June 10th. TG will be returning for the Emmy's at the beginning of September and we should see him mid-September... giving us only 3 months with Luke gone and Tracy will be gone a month of that time anyway. I'm not convinced of rewrites at all - back in the winter we were told there is a reason Ethan and Rebecca showed up in the same week, and then the hints were dropped. This is just another piece in the puzzle - Rebecca/Ethan met at the airport, were storm-stayed, did the deed and Ethan schooled Rebecca in the better way to con. She knew coming to town she was Emily's twin sister, but outside of that we don't know what she knows about the adoption or reasons for it. We still don't know what Ethan is up to, if he's working with Holly, if Luke was his only mark or if it was Tracy and her money as well. We now have more questions then answers.... which any good story should have. Holly first wanted to ransom the information for Tracy's money and Luke, but eventually earned a conscious and said the baby was Roberts... then caught in that lie said Ethan was Luke's after all. All they have right now is Holly's unreliable word. Tracy copped to making the DNA test negative but didn't check the real answer - which was pretty sloppy if you ask me. Luke and Ethan did another mail-in DNA test and the last we saw of it Ethan was walking out of the HS to presumably mail it. We didn't see that happen so we have no idea what became of that test or when the results will be returned - I'm guessing while he's away it will end up in Tracy's hands or perhaps Lulu. Someone significant at any rate. All of this tells me we still don't know what it truly happening. We don't like if Tracy's sloppy work is a cover or real, we don't know who Luke is playing if anyone, we don't know what Ethan is really after, we don't know if Holly was telling the truth. All we know is that TG is really excited about this story and can't wait to pick it up when he returns. So there you have it! BTW, glad you are enjoying life.

No Tracy today... Aftermath of the fall down the stairs (Claudia still not out of the woods)... Scrubs try to get some quiet time... Nic tells Rebecca her connection to Emily and she's really upset (we're just not sure what about, cause the information isn't new)... Pretty slow show, actually.... Tracy tomorrow.

I think it could go either way. If they want TG as a presenter, JE is the natural choice as co-presenter. She might not want to be part of the Emmy process for herself, but she's certainly going to support him. And the there's the fact that DD is often full of garbage and someone's bored.

Apparently announcements of presenters has started, but you're right... we don't have confirmation anywhere. I couldn't find anything outside of DD. As for Performer of the week: Pundit #1 Honorable mention for Performer of the week - to Emma Samms, Tony Geary, Jane Elliot and Greg Vaughn. This was a stinker of a storyline, but they really brought it out.... I tuned in on the episode where Holly was ripping Lucky a new one about Luke and he wished they had mentioned Lucky screwing around on Elizabeth.... the look on his face made you believe he was JJ back when LnL were married... the look of hurt on his face...these kids are learning that their parent's perfect love wasn't so perfect.... In the end Jane Elliot brought it all back into her corner in the end... Pundit #2 She always brings it Pundit #3 Jane Elliot just needs to be a box you check for Honorable Mentions.... Pundit #1 I wish I could clone her and put her on all 8 soaps. I could cast her... Pundit #2 Uh uh... she don't deserve to be put on ATWT (laughter) no, no... shame on you.. Pundit #1 Well, you know... they could definitely use her - anybody could. But I definitely love her on GH, and she's never looked better

I was going to say... TG/JE for Best ACTOR was not possible since he's up for that one. Best Actress I'd buy. As for JE being around - she's go for Tony and support him. He's up for the record breaker this year. And I think it's tradition that the winner of last years Lead Actor/Actress presents this year for the opposite category. She's his partner so it makes sense. The other presenters sound reasonable too - but does GH usually have that many presenters? The only one I really question is GV/KMc. Is this a signal that he's firmly with GH and his story will improve? Hope so.

^^^Don't predict it til you see it. Spoilers are misleading... Okay, no Tracy or LuNacy Michael returns to the hospital after copping attitude to Jason and Sam, and telling Kristina that shew as 'creeping me out' with the sex-kitten thing. Carly and the baby are fine, Claudia and the baby are not. Ric is hovering around Claudia. Ehan and Rebecca go over what their plan was - squeeze the Q's and Cassamaines, Ethan pulling the strings because Rebecca is not an experienced con. She acknowledges that her feelings about all of them have changed but Ethan still has his edge intact. Nicholas walks in after one quick knock (I would kill him) and wonders what they are doing. Kristina tries to play Sam with the same story she was telling Jason... chicklet has issues

Hey Baby Girl.... I see you there. Hope all is well with you. I found this over on SZ - their 'news' and opinions section... While in the minority, I must agree with Tony Geary (Luke) about the stellar scenes last week when Holly tried to make amends with a hurt and incredulous Ethan and Luke. He told SoapNet recently in a phone interview that he found those scenes incredibly compelling. As did I. The emotion of a mother forced to give her baby up for a better life made a relatable impact. If that wasn’t enough, Jane Elliot (Tracy) walks in, argues with Luke, and the look in her eyes when he yells that if she doesn’t know by now why he’s still married to her… it made mine water up. That was the best part of GH in the past month. It’s called character acting, people, try it sometime.

Well, we can split the difference and say they aren't terribly accurate or reliable. Interesting what a few days make. When the big revelation happened that Ethan could be Luke's the LnLers threw back their heads and howled... I said give it time, it will blow over. A few weeks later Ethan and Rebecca are obviously in this together and now folks on SOC are looking at Ethan with renewed eyes - this boy might be a winner afterall. Fun stuff. Having Nicolas, Lucky and Ethan in the same frame today was fabulous - especially how they looked at Rebecca, a woman they all have their own interest in.

Okay, again no Tracy today.... But a fun episode nonetheless.. Michale escaped the hospital (even though Toussaint tried to stop him) and wound up in Kristina's room where they chatted about their elders and Mikey's 'plan' - no, we didn't hear it Kristina has major Daddy issues and knows Lex will overcompensate with material goods, so she will play it while she can - Lex thinking she has the perfect daughter, of course. When Jason pushes her too hard, she tries to sex it up to turn Jason off... it works. Chick does not have a thing for Jason so we can strike that spoiler. Lex and Rayner keep meeting up at the MC and he keeps flirting while she's not sure what to do with his attention. Rayner comes through for her and compliments her along the way. Rebecca is a busy woman. First she shares threats with Helena (putting her arm around Hells and saying "screw you" - not many can get away with that), then she sees Nic and the boys at the HS, then back in her room she and Ethan play tonsil hockey. Jax/Carly/Sonny/Claudia are all about Michael. Line of the Day goes to Jax, who after Carly says she doesn't like her food says "You don't like it? You're not 5 years old." Carly confronts Claudia at the top of the stairs having overheard Claud tell Johnny that Michael is gone and she thinks it's all her fault. Meanwhile Jax/Sonny agree to present a united front for Carly's benefit and arrive at the nurse's hub just in time to watch their pregnant wives fall down the stairs. Also Piph and Toussaint reunited and it's a little frosty when she finds out he's been back in town for a few weeks but didn't call her (nasty boy).

I'm liking this kid. Seriously.... I'm liking this kid. Ethan is a great addition and now we've got two of Luke's kids who want to keep LuNacy together. It works all the way around. I don't care about his motive (but I bet it's good), I just care that he's supporting Tracy like Lulu has. At some point they are going to have to bridge the divide between Tracy and Ethan.... and if Tracy knows the truth, not only will she realize Luke didn't leave her, but she will do what she can to get him back. Team Spencermaine is on! BTW, thanks for the article. I could have done without the 'lives off his wife', but in essence he does live off the Q largess. But I thought that was a really good way to look at all of Luke's 'kids' (still not convinced Ethan is a true Spencer). Lucky with the rage against injustice, Lulu with the optimism and Ethan with the scoundrel's edge. I also like that TG is so invested in this story that he's willing to take phone calls while away.... that bodes well. And Luke/Tracy will always be married....

Cool.....

Okay, I was wrong. I thought we'd get LuNacy continuing their conversation today considering how it hung yesterday, but no such luck. But we've had 3 days of Luke, 2 of Tracy... perhaps they follow-up tomorrow. Otherwise a very full day: Alexis/Rayner's date continues and talk about Rebecca's past and Helena's dosser Michael blowing up at Robin and has a hard time dealing with his reality, later Claudia manipulates him against Carly CarSon talk about Michael and his manipulation Claudia tells Jax about CarSon hug and wants Jax to keep Carly away from Sonny, Jax basically tells her to go to h*ll Rebecca tells Nic more about her past then Alexis interrupts Scrubs discuss Michael, drugs, Emma and the changes since Robin's PPD Sonny sends Jason to check out and after-hours club and he pulls a young teen out of there (supposedly Kristina) Michael sneaks out of the hospital (not bad for a kid who could barely walk yesterday) and is stopped by Toussaint AND Helena has returned. First she checks out Rebecca's room then stops Becs on the docks, telling her she's much more formidable than Emily every was. No... we were told ages ago it wasn't a coincidence that Rebecca and Ethan showed up the same week. NL isn't told everything up front.

The LF was down yesterday, Nex. I emailed the recaps to you. Tracy came in (nice blue jacket yesterday) and knew immediately that Luke/Ethan were up to something again (it was taking a DNA test that they had to mail). The basics anyway is that Tracy was snippy at Ethan, Ethan said he liked her better in the early days, and Luke asked Tracy when she was going to lighten up on Ethan. Tracy redirected and asked when Luke skipped town this time, was he taking Ethan or was she having to take care of Ethan too (like Lulu)? And that's were they left it.

We'll have to see how it all plays out, but I'm wondering how much we can follow the 'spoilers'. I think we will have a better sense today, since the conversation yesterday about Luke's leaving is obviously set to continue. If Luke keeps assuring her he will stay, and keeps working on helping her accept Ethan, we might have a very different scenario playing out. Thus far the spoilers have not been accurate. The accurate stuff has come from the interviews with ES, NP and TG. Spoilers online and/or from SD haven't panned out. I'm also starting to wonder if somehow Tracy's filing for divorce isn't part of a wider plot. What if Tracy reads Ethan and figures out what's going on (assuming the bit about Helena telling him she has Luke is even true) and this is an overt way to show Hells that Tracy is moving on. I seriously doubt they would have Tracy fly off the handle and file for divorce but not follow through for any other reason. Again, the dialogue should indicate what's really happening. They are doing their LuNacy dance as far as dealing with Ethan, but they certainly aren't on the outs because of any interest on Luke's part in Holly. They obviously are still sleeping together, as evidenced by that Endorphin line yesterday. Either way, it's not dark-n-dreary days ahead for Tracy. Luke might be gone for three months, but she's going to be busy with other stuff until he returns. So with your inability to sleep, did you get caught up on GH, Hooked? I know there's a lot there, but it would make more sense to you if you knew what's happened this past month. Then you can see for yourself that Luke never showed any interest in Holly, but his love for Tracy never wavered. And you could be better prepared for the crap I'm sure someone on SD is going to try shovelling about Luke leaving.

Helena nabbing him... that I can believe Luke responding to Rebecca who's in trouble.... that I can believe Luke disappearing and Tracy not having a clue... that I can believe Tracy being upset and angry... that I can believe Luke's disappearance informing other stories this summer... that I can believe How we go from yesterday to divorce... that's what I can't believe. BTW... how many times have we seen "Tracy files for divorce" and it's only actually happened once in 4 years. I think that part is SD fodder - and they are wrong as much as they're right... if not more.

Hooked, it was when he said "I'm not leaving you for ANYBODY!" His voice cracked with the weight of emotion and Tracy's face though subtle was also astounded. I don't see how they can go from yesterday to Tracy assuming Luke is running away with Holly. But then we had the whole heart attack scare throughout all of the spoilers, and nary a hint of that. We had "Tracy and Holly get physical" and that certainly didn't happen. Spoilers are becoming less and less accurate - if that is even possible.

Transcript is off. She says "Make me a Martini" then walks to the bar. Luke follows and pulls out a bottle. Then Tracy quitely says "My life is in your hands", and they smiles understandingly at each other. Halee, I would have prefered the spit-swap for LuNacy too. Maybe tomorrow.... EDIT Ah... I get it... whomever wrote the transcrpit included song lyrics. "I love waking up next to you, every morning"

Thanks Hooked... I'm not worried about Tracy or the Q's, I think TPTB can and have learned from their mistakes. For all the fear that the show doesn't know what it's doing, they certainly seem like they know what they are doing. As for LuNacy tomorrow - honestly it could go either way. There has been a demand for some time that Luke spread his affection for women to his wife. With any luck TPTB will do that. But it was also evening so they could very well have a new day tomorrow. I don't know. But I'm truly confused as to how they get from "I'm not leaving you for Holly, I'm not leaving you for anyone" and Holly obviously leaving on her own... to Tracy next week thinking Luke left with Holly. I'm wondering if that spoilers is off because today Luke was as definitive as I've ever seen him. Even more specific then "I'll always come back to you".

I lost track, quite frankly, they were both sad, they were both angry, they both felt betrayed, they both risked everything to spell it all out rather than shoving it deep inside.... and in the end they smiled at each other with understanding and love. Rather a full scene, actually. I think Tracy was knock-me-over-with-a-feather stunned when Luke yelled at her "Not that you've bothered to ask, but I'm not leaving you for Holly. I'm not leaving your for ANYBODY." There, it's been said. Let the chips fall where they may.

Thanks Nex. You know, doing recaps I miss many things while I try to get the gist for you folks, and I'm so glad you commented on their emotion and facial expression - it was so rich. Tracy broke my heart, and Luke's anger was so real... and yet... and yet they love each other and everything is put in second place for that. I also missed the fact that it wasn't just their theme music, it was their theme music with lyrics - even more significant. What's this, three times now? Luke's proposal, NYE? and today? Twice anyway.

Recaps, Tuesday June 2nd STATS Vets: Luke, Holly, Tracy Kisses: no kiss, but we got their theme music and a Luke FINALLY gets angry at Tracy (long time coming IMO) Appearance: Same as the other day - large white pearls, red jacket with white design, black pants Other Stories: Sason/Claudia dance of threats continues; Michael et al help Morgan understand that things are different now but Morgan ultimately convinces Michael to move home.; Ethan/Lulu talk about their sibling reality; Spixie cuteness at the PI office; Line of the Day: Claudia to Jason "Use your big boy words and tell me what's going on" Sc. 1 - Holly blasts Lucky for mistreating Lucky Sc. 2 - Holly explains to Lucky that she and Luke knew each other before Lucky was even born, and that they came together but Luke's priority was always Laura and Lucky. Then she proceeds to reem Lucky for his poor treatment of Luke and acting all holier then thou when he should be grateful to have a father - no matter how flawed - who loves him. Tears are streaming down Lucky's face. Sc. 3 - Holly fills in a little history for Lucky, but he's still being an [!@#$%^&*]. Luke tries to get through to Lucky again, but Lucky storms off saying he's past caring Sc. 4 - Luke thanks Holly for the 'spirited' defense. Holly wonders why Lucky is so judgemental, and Luke says it's getting worse. Holly says she thinks Ethan will be more understanding. After his conversation with Lulu, Ethan returns to the HS and thanks Holly for carrying him, giving him life, letting him be raised by great parents, and then searching him out and sending him to his father. Holly is overjoyed by Ethan's change of heart. Luke says so that's it, she's going now. Holly says yes but Ethan gets upset that she's leaving so quickly. Sc. 5 - Ethan clarifies, when Holly says she's got to leave before she starts wanting the family she never had, Ethan cuts her off and tells her it's not happening - she's a con and can't be trusted, and he's like an old piano - he doesn't like being played. Ethan wishes her well and then leaves. Luke comments that it's not exactly the ending she hoped for. Sc. 6 - Luke thanks Holly for giving him Ethan, and doesn't hold anger at Holly. Luke and Holly say goodbye again - she says she's not going to give him another chance to turn her down. In a tender moment (no kissing) Tracy walks in and says she's an idiot. When Holly asked for another chance Tracy gave it to her, but she didn't expect Holly to use it to take her husband. Sc. 7 - Tracy says she's finished fighting - it's too demeaning, so here's the deal. Tracy admits she tampered with the test, but she never saw what it said. Luke tells her he's so angry - she had no business tampering with the test. Holly pipes up saying how could she do that to Ethan and Luke, to which Tracy responds that that is the pot calling the kettle black. If Holly had just been up front in the first place none of this would have happened. As it is she played right into Holly's hands and lost her husband in the process. Luke still glaring at Tracy asks how would she feel if he kept her child from her? Tracy says she would probably be angry but try to find out what's behind it. She goes on to say it didn't matter what the test said because he was already convinced Ethan was his son. He treated Ethan like his shiny new toy and the hell with the rest of them. So she's done. If he want his Ethan and his Holly, he can be her guest. She's not doing this any more, then storms off. Luke roughly grabs her, calling her name to get her attention. Again he says he's so angry at her he could kill her, but he won't because it if wasn't for her he wouldn't even be alive to know Ethan. Holly says it's her time to leave. Tracy tells Holly she doesn't get to speak, but Holly threatens Tracy that if she mistreats either Ethan or Luke, Holly will return to claim them both. After Holly leaves, Tracy looks at Luke and says "you could kill me?" Luke smirks slightly and says yes, he could put strychnine in her Martini. Tracy then retorts that if he's not in her will so he gets nothing, the only way the gravy train continues is if she's alive, then walks towards the bar. Luke says after all this time she STILL thinks he's only there for the money? Tracy smiles and tells him to pour her a drink - her life is in his hands. They share that rascally look as their theme music plays in the background.

Robin was in a different place, but I agree - every soap has goodbye kisses. Luke has now kissed Laura, Skye and Holly like that after saying goodbye, and none of it has changed the fact that Tracy is the one he always goes home to. Robert kissed Anna like that at the end of NSII and from everything we know they aren't together. Hell I've even kissed men like that, an my life is regrettably not a soap opera. The fact that Lucky walked in on it is just a set-up for him to feed into Tracy's insecurities this summer while Lulu/Ethan try to assure her Luke didn't leave with Holly. Tomorrow is the last day of Holly. Hells reappears on Thursday, Luke is last seen next Wednesday, "Andrea" arrives the following Monday I believe. Summer is officially here!
