Hey all, my computer is having issues staying connected so I haven't got a full recap, only the basics. No Tracy.. Holly tells Luke and Ethan the 'truth' (assuming this time it is) and Ethan is not amused. Luke doesn't hate her but he's not happy with her choices. Holly explains to him she really thought she would arrive in PC, help Luke liberate Tracy's money and they would run off together. She admits she had no idea he loved Tracy and was tied into Port Charles. Luke admits that yes, he still loves the open road but he's very attached to his home. Ultimately Holly asks Luke if he's interested in leaving with her. While Luke says it's tempting and she will always have a piece of his heart, but his kids live in Port Charles and he likes his life here. Holly says he also has a wife he loves and Luke agrees telling her he does love her, he "absolutely does". Luke says next time you never know, but this time it's goodbye. They kiss goodbye and are interrupted by Lucky who's still angry and tells Holly to just take his dad. Michael asks ClauSon if he can live with them, and while Carly doesn't like it she tries to accept it. Morgan's not so understanding and begs Michael to come home with him. Liz gets through to Lucky (I think) and reminds him that Luke does love him and that Lucky of all people should be understanding that Luke could love Laura while sleeping with Holly. But when Lucky goes to talk to Luke, he sees Luke kissing Holly goodbye and misunderstands. Jason finds evidence that Claudia called Fredo to have Jerry killed and wants to tell Sonny. Spin verifies it's Claw's voice, but speaks up on her behalf. Jason is having none of it. Claudia wants to celebrate Michael coming home with them and doesn't pick up the vibe that SaSon aren't as enthusiastic because of Carly's feelings. Ethan and Lulu tentatively bond as siblings.

LOL... That is hilarious, Hooked. Yeah, it was the last week or two. In Michael's room Edward was enthusiastic about Michael moving in with them and Michael was playing Ed the whole time - saying it would be easier if Lulu was there. Edward then says Lulu will be more than happy to move home and they'd be one happy family around the dinner table, discussing the day's events - Michael, Edward, Monica, Tracy, Luke and Lulu. Lulu comments that this scenario is highly unlikely and that she thought he didn't like her father. Edward's response was it does matter what that he doesn't like Luke, because Luke makes Tracy happy and that's the most important thing. It was really out of context and a stretch in that conversation, which is why I'm sure it means something for another time. I wonder if Edward helps them get Luke back - that would be a switch.

Well, I'm back from yet another rainy/cold camping trip. I'm putting my sleeping bag away and not looking at it until July! I just have to made sure my tent is clean and dry. Shiloh is going again next week - and I'll go if they ask me to come - but I'm much more interested in staying home. As for the show, I'm anxious to see where this story goes 'cause so far it's been quite interesting and more real story for LuNacy than they've had since the heart attack. I don't think it's going to be a dismal summer. If you folks want to believe the worst, go ahead, but I think we will see more play out before this is finished. By TG's own admission he's leaving in the middle of this story and it will continue to play out. The only assumption we can make at this point is not to assume - 'cause the negatively inclined thought Tracy would disappear before now this year and it still hasn't happened. If anything she's had a better showing already this year then she's had in the past few. I'm curious to know who actually knows what. If Helena if going to use Ethan - as spoilers recorded elsewhere have said - then he knows about Luke. And we already know that Ethan wants Luke to appreciate Tracy more, so he's not going to want to hurt her. Edward's comment "Tracy should be happy, that's the most important thing" wasn't lost on me either. I think there are many more cards to play in this game. Rebecca is still an unknown in all of this, and can hold some answers. But no matter what happens, this board should have had enough experience by now to realize that spoilers are rarely accurate and even when they are, don't convey the whole story.

Too many people are riding the TG thing - it's way overblown. Anyway, I think it makes perfect sense, Hooked. If Tracy is blustering about something and later Luke happens upon Rebecca and tries to help her, the audience knows what Luke did but Tracy will think Luke called her bluff and walked. The two spoilers are not mutually exclusive. TG said last year leaving Tracy behind doesn't make sense anymore, but if he's taken he didn't leave her... she just won't know that immediately. GV said he's been gone for some time already. So he's obviously pre-taped. That article said he was off screen from mid-June until mid-September, that's 12-13 weeks. Add a month gone already and that's his 16 weeks at least. Either way there has been pre-taping and Luke is not going to be gone like last year. After that marathon we can handle anything, and I doubt Tracy will disappear like 2008 because she'll be involved with other stories. Last year everything was stalled to 'fix' Claudia. This year everyone is getting a story somehow.

Well that clears up the Damsel thing. Nice touch actually, another Quartermaine/Spencer connection and someone who's special to Ethan. I bet Ethan/Lulu figure things out and go to rescue him. I just hope they involve Tracy somehow. She's going to be so hurt and angry, then so guilty and upset. If past summers are any indication, 12 weeks is going to be a walk in the park for us. But more importantly, the audience will know that he didn't leave Tracy. That's almost as important as Tracy knowing with this stupid uproar by LnL fans thinking themselves 'disrespected' by GH.

Hey folks, not much Tracy today but she was part of the funniest dialogue. A friend of mine at SOC calls it the "Who's on first - Luke's version" where Alexis asks who's Spanky? Who's Dodger? Who's English? and the cop says Who's Natasha? Perfect delivery and everyone with a straight face. But IMO the best line was Tracy asking Holly where her Sapphire necklace was and Luke replied "Did you look at the bottom of the mattress?" Love it! Even in this mood LuNacy is still frolicking.... just wish they would frolic in front of the camera. So Hells is involved... wonder how long it will take them to figure that out. This summer already isn't sounding bad - he leaves mid-June to reappear mid-September. That's only three months and that last month JE has off anyway, or there abouts). I wonder who the "Damsel" is. I know who Tracy will think it is, but I wonder how Helena is going to pull this one off. I'm still thinking there will be a Holly/Helena connection at some point. Too many unanswered questions.

Mmmm.... I don't know.... I think we would be severely disappointed if everything was happy and blissful, and who knows how it actually will play out and how long Luke will be gone. I agree I had hopes when it was confirmed he was pretaping like mad, and nothing is to say that we won't get a little more of him on our screens then we would normally. I just feel like the spoilers and other comments are taking away from what's happening on screen and I am enjoying watching what I see evolve - Tracy/Lulu/Ethan look like they are going to be a unit. This excites me and I want to see where it goes. Holly is still a wild card in all of this and hasn't been predictable yet. I think the Tracy/Holly scene has been one of the best yet in this story. Besides you can only take spoilers so far - weren't Tracy and Holly supposed to get 'physical'? That certainly hasn't happened. I've also thought for years that it would make a good story for Tracy to assume Luke was gone of his own free will then find out that he's actually being kept from her. Of course I would like it the other way around - but lets face it Laura was always that 'damsel' so I really don't want Tracy in that place. There's just so much going on here, and the fact that LnLers are howling just makes me wonder where else it will go. They are ridiculous in their outrage, but I find it interesting in the face of all of this TG is excited about what's next and is standing his ground on who works best with Luke. He knows where this is headed so I can easily get on board with him. I live convention - it doesn't entertain me. Don't know if I'll be back in time to watch live today, and certainly won't be here tomorrow.

Oh dear, I hope my Baby Girl is okay.... Speaking of babies, anyone else following Star's blog about Colin? She's so funny, and he's doing well. I'm going camping again and won't be here all week. If anyone can do recaps go for it. Otherwise we'll see you in June.

Wow Hooked, you deserve a medal for putting up with SD to bring us all of that. I wondered when Tracy mentioned the heart attach Thursday why she said it - it seemed so random. And also nice to hear that Luke isn't leaving town. About time they did the pre-taping thing. You know, JE has a month off too. Perhaps that means something and they will be 'off screen' together. I'm actually glad to have confirmation that TG has been gone a month already, that means he's getting his time and we're getting ours - that seems the fair and proper thing to do. I honestly don't think we will ever see ewcbo unless Lulu has a huge wedding, otherwise GF is good and gone, and I don't think LuNacy will ever divorce. Interesting though that Ethan has a vested interest in keeping them together. I think that's the most intriguing part for me.

Thanks Hooked. I really like the look of "Luke, Tracy and Co." Team LuNacy is always where it's at! RECAPS, Friday May 22nd STATS Vets: Alexis, Holly, Mike, Tracy, Luke, Edward Kisses: one ILY from Luke Appearance: same as yesterday Other Stories: Nic/Rebecca trying to spend sex-less time together; Carly having a hard to understanding why Michael hates her while Jason tries to help her understand; Michael/Lulu continue bonding; Sonny slamming around (it's about Olivia/Johnny together, hee hee); Jason admits he pushed his parents away; Mike tattles to Sonny about Edward wanting Michael back; as Spixie listen Claudia threatens Olivia then she goes after Johnny; Sonny tells Olivia she can't do Johnny again but Liv tells him to piss off; Maxie is not happy that Johnny is getting action elsewhere but Spinelli is thrilled Line of the Day: Lulu calling the Quartermaines "Q's" and says they are all good alone, it's together that they are a bit much HIGHLIGHTS: Ethan basically tells Luke to get his sh!t together and not to ruin his marriage for Holly, while Lucky is the one who finally gets through to Holly about the hurt/problem she's causing. Sc. 1 - no LuNacy Sc. 2 - no LuNacy; Holly offers Lucky a Scotch and Lucky accuses her of trying to get him drunk. They fight about Luke and if Ethan is his son. Holly nails Lucky on being judgemental and Lucky says don't put it on him. Lucky want Ethan to be a lie and a stranger, and he doesn't want Ethan anywhere around his kids - no matter who Ethan's father turns out to be. AND he wonders what he's supposed to say to his own mother about Luke having a kid with someone else. Holly is still not forthcoming. Sc. 3 - Holly telling Lucky he should try to understand his father more. Then Lucky levels her by asking if she even cares what she's doing to his family. Holly does actually look like that effected her. Meanwhile Tracy says she has a low tolerance for wafflers, especially the one she's married to. It's complicated, Luke says. No waffling, Tracy says again. "Do I love you, Yes! Do I know what comes next, No." So are we all supposed to dance around to Holly's tune, Tracy asks. It's complicated Luke says again. Ethan asks this is now the time he should disappear and find something else to do, but Tracy says no their futures are inextricably linked and what happens effects them all. Then Tracy turns to Luke and asks what is he going to do, "run away with Holly and create some lovely little family? And what happens when she decides to go for a mark with deeper pockets? Don't think you can come back because I won't be waiting and I'm not that desperate." Ethan tells Luke "You know now might be the one and only time you should compromise, Mate". Luke looks from Ethan to Tracy without answering while Tracy waits. Sc. 4 - Luke tells Ethan now would be a good time to go in the back room, Ethan says fine and starts to leave... then comes back and yells at Luke saying "Holly has kept this secret for over 20 years without saying anything, so is it really worth it to throw away your life with a woman who puts up with you at considerable personal cost for a woman who you couldn't trust to say the sky is blue?" Tracy is impressed, saying Ethan is wise beyond his years. Yes, Luke says, smart, obviously not my offspring. Ethan doesn't know how to take that while Tracy continues waiting. Meanwhile Edward comes to visit Michael and asks him if he's thought about moving into the mansion. Sc. 5 - no LuNacy; Lulu watches Michael play Edward as he tells Edward he wishes Lulu was still at the mansion, so Edward puts his arm around Lulu and says she'll be happy to move back in. Lulu looks like she's caught in the middle and she's not liking it. Sc. 6 - no Tracy; Edward tells Michael he can't wait until his great-grandson - his heir - is living with them at the house, and when Lulu moves back in with her father and Tracy everything will be fine. Lulu says she doesn't know that that will happen, but she thought he didn't like her dad. Edward says all that stuff with Holly will blow over soon, but the most important things is that Tracy is happy. Imagine, Edward goes on, all of them together sitting around the table talking about issues. Lulu says sure, so long as they lock up all the guns and everyone laughs. Michael agrees they don't want anyone shot in the head. Meanwhile back at the HS Tracy is gone? and Ethan asks Luke what the scam is now. Luke says he doesn't know and when did he become such a suck up to Tracy? Ethan blasts Luke for being willing to risk it all for a woman he had a one night stand with? It was more than that, Luke yells back and that could be Ethan's mother so watch your mouth. Holly comes in and Luke asks what she's doing to up the ante now, but Holly says the game is over - it's not fun anymore. Luke and Ethan wonder what she's up to. Sc. 7 -no Tracy; Luke says the truth? Without a payoff, that isn't like you. Holly says she was so focused on what she wanted that she didn't realize she was hurting people and that wasn't her intention. She is Ethan's mother but Luke isn't his father - so he'll have to be satisfied with the children he has. Robert Scorpio is his father and Luke looks disappointed. Meanwhile Edward/Carly/Sonny fight over where Michael wants to live and Michael says he wants to live with his father.

Seriously, it was fabulous. Those of you with SoapNet, THIS is the night to watch it live if you haven't done so already. Tracy spoke up for Laura, Monica spoke of for Carly, Ethan spoke up for Tracy, Liz spoke up for Lucky, Lulu spoke for Ethan.. the Spencer and Quartermaine families were all over the place today with solid issues. And the opening scene was a riot - Alice quietly moving back between the bickering Quartermaines and the bickering Spencermaines. I don't know what's next - and I seriously doubt Luke will tell Tracy he's sacrificing their marriage - but today was a whole lot of mini-fireworks. But the best were Tracy and Luke - Tracy staring down Holly and Luke talking to Liz. Those were the highlights by far. And you know how others have been saying ES was a little dead in the acting department.... well she stepped it up with JE just like they all do. Jeez, they can't leave a good day alone, can they. Emily is about the only one possible, and the rest are crap we've seen before.

Thanks Hooked. Love to see the confirmation that Spanky keeps her money and her man - in whatever order you wish. RECAPS, Thursday May 21st (Okay, the dialogue was quick and heavy, and my boys were royal pains, so I can't swear to the accuracy of these recaps but I think I've got the essence.) STATS Vets: Tracy, Luke, Holly, Monica, Edward, Mike Kisses: none Appearances: Black/white jacket, black pants Other Stories: Lulu fills Lucky in on their family situation; Michael is even more an ass then usual treating Carly like the dog's breakfast; Jax tries to make Carly feel better but is having trouble; Spixie bugging the Crimson office to find out what Kate is doing; Nic/Becs/Liz at hospital just talking stuff; Olivia and Johnny cute morning after interaction complete with her slapping his butt; Kate susses out that Olivia and Johnny did the dead (Kate is actually cute with Olivia today); sweet Lulu/Michael bonding Line of the Day: Kate to Olivia "Does Johnny look better in underwear or a towel?" Sc. 1 - Alice sighting. Very funny...Monica and Edward bickering about Michael, Tracy and Luke arguing about Holly and Luke tells her to relax. As Alice moves back and forth serving the groups as the bickering focus moves back and forth. Finally Tracy says she's not going to pay for Luke to relive his glory days. Luke asked when those were? Tracy yells she never wants to hear the name "Holly Sutton" again, just as Holly wants in and says good morning to Luke - nice to see him surrounded by family and the perfect picture of domesticity... Sc. 2 - Holly tells Luke for the 'king of the open road' it's so sad to see him boxed in with his family. Tracy wants her gone but Edward welcomes her in. Tracy asks Edward if she has to remind him that Holly is a con? Edward waves that away saying Tracy says that about everyone. Tracy then says Holly is in town for a family reunion. Oh, where's Robert, Monica asks? Not here, Tracy says, because Holly is around to tell Luke that Ethan is his son. Edward laughs wondering how many there are and Monica says that's something Edward is more than familiar enough with. Edward says Ethan is a fine young man, but Monica points out that Edward said Ethan was a thief and would drink them out of house and home just like Luke. Edward then says it's easy enough to see if Ethan is his, just have a DNA test. Luke says they already did that but 'your darling daughter' rigged the results, so he's going to get the answers right from the source - as he points at Holly. "Not before I get my money" Holly replies sweetly. Everyone turns to Luke. Sc. 3 - Edward says Ethan is the child of Holly and Luke? Well he can offer any advice because he's had experience. Monica agrees that Edward has more than his share of experience on that one. Tracy points out that they don't know yet if Luke is the father, but Monica tells Tracy that's not what she's worried about. No Tracy is worried that if Luke and Holly are Ethan's parents then Luke will run off with is new family. Edward says there's nothing to keep him there as it is. Luke twisting his wedding ring, walks over to the bar and says he might just have the urge to get on the road, you never knows. Tracy takes it all in and asks what the price is. Holly coyly says that's for her and Luke to negotiate, and then Holly leaves. Tracy walks to the bar to join Luke and he says that any price is worth it to know the truth. Tracy just stares at him. Sc. 4 - Liz talks to Luke at the Haunted Star telling Luke that she knows how much he loves Lucky, but in all of this Lucky is being treated like he doesn't matter. Luke says he didn't want to be a father but he still loves Lucky, he's Luke's son. Liz points out that the two of them never got beyond Lucky being a cop and yet here comes Ethan who Luke accepts without problem. Can't he see how much this is hurting Lucky? It's no picnic for himself and 'poor Ethan' Luke says. Liz asks if Luke hears himself, he's talking as if he and Ethan are a unit and where does that leave Lucky? Meanwhile at the Scrubs house Tracy shows up at the door with a cashier's cheque "with $2M more than you deserve" (so we don't know the real amount) and says she can now leave. Holly says there are a lot of things she needs to consider but Tracy says she's got her money so now she can take her bait. Holly says Ethan is a dear but that's not what she's really wants. What does she want, Tracy asks? Holly says Tracy is smarter than that, she's actually an inspiration to her, Holly says. Cut the crap, Tracy says and lay it out. Holly says she's here to take Tracy's husband. And at the hospital Monica and Edward visit Michael and tell him how good it is to see him again, and how he must be anxious to get out of there. Michael agrees and Edward asks him what he wants... is he hungry, Edward is sure Cook can come up with something. Michael says he wants a hamburger. Edward and Monica laugh and they tell him they hope to spend a whole lot of time with him - no matter where he lives. Sc. 5 - Monica and Edward talk to Michael about AJ, and Monica tries to explain Carly to Michael and asks him not to be too harsh on his mother. Monica explains that Carly was there all the time and pushed for the surgery when everyone else wanted to wait. Edward laughs asking when she became a fan of Carly's and Monica says she's a mother too. Michael asks if Monica was there when Jason woke up, and Monica says no she wasn't, but it didn't mean she didn't love Jason. Monica's pager goes off and she has to leave, then Edward says what Monica said was all bull - the Q's are Michael's real family and no amount of talk is going to change that. Meanwhile Tracy suggest to Holly that she take the money and run, because Luke isn't part of the deal. Holly says Tracy's had a good run and she's amazed Tracy held on to him this long. Tracy asks if Holly knew about Luke's heart attack, Holly didn't but she bets he now whats to live all the more. Tracy gets her smile on and says Luke is hers and Holly doesn't get him. Holly says Luke doesn't belong to anyone. Wanna bet, Tracy asks? Holly stands and says she's not playing. She is taking Luke and there is nothing Tracy can do about it. Tracy waves the cheque again and says it's her last chance at the money. And at the Star Liz and Luke's conversation continues as Luke pours out how much it hurts him that Lucky takes every opportunity to shut him down and insult him. It's not easy with Lucky walking in every second day and threatening to arrest his bartender... or treat him like a drunk. Son of a bitch, Luke says... he's tired of Lucky treating him like he's nothing. He did everything right as a dad, Luke says, or at least he tried to. He saw all the games, took him to school, played with him. He lived in that house until he felt the walls closing in and he was going to explode. And it still wasn't good enough for Lucky. Luke says he loves Lucky, but if Ethan is his son he deserves Luke's love too. He can't choose. Liz asks Luke if he thought Lucky would grow up some day and be like him. I don't know Luke admits. Liz then asks if Luke thinks Lucky will resent living with her and her kids, and Luke tells her he fears that Lucky will awaken one morning and be so angry and caged that he will do something to hurt Liz and her kids, just like he did to Laura. Perhaps, Liz offers, Lucky doesn't feel trapped and wants that life with her because he loves it - that love should include Luke too. Sc. 6 - Ethan comes into the HS and tells Luke family is overrated. Luke agrees. Well Lulu is fond of you, he tells Luke - is she? Luke asks. Lucky is a different story, he's pissed of at Luke. Ethan says he's pissed of at both of us, the difference is Ethan doesn't care. Ethan wants to make sure that Luke wouldn't keep any information from him, and Luke is surprised at the notion. Meanwhile Tracy says a good opportunist knows to take the money and run. Holly says there's still more adventure to have. Wow, Tracy says, then turns on Holly and asks if she realizes what she has done. Luke's children have lost the last bit of respect for him having a child with Holly, and what about Laura? How is she going to feel when she finds out that Luke fathered a child with Holly while they were still married. It's over, Tracy yells at her, the bar in Singapore is empty and used up - just like her. Holly won't budge. And at the hospital Edward fills Michael's head with guff about how AJ loved him and tells Michael he will be moving into the Q home. Mike at the doorway cuts Edward off and says Michael isn't going anywhere with him. Michael is happy to see Mike, and Mike tells Edward to leave. Sc. 7 - Luke promises Ethan that if Holly had told him anything he would have told Ethan first. Ethan asks if he's sure, because whether or not Luke is his father isn't the real issue. What Luke asks? I'm just the bait, the real questions is if he's going to dump Tracy and leave with Holly. "Oh, I'd really like to know the answer to that" Tracy says quietly from the door. Meanwhile Lucky barges in on Holly at Scrubs (she's expecting Luke - isn't she always) and demands the answer about Ethan's paternity.

But that would be so long ago, what would have caused that shortly after getting Holly pregnant himself? I think whatever Robin knows is the real reason Robert and Holly split up and she was running for her life in the first place.

Yeah I know.. but you're missed. ILTQ asks about you often.

Thanks Hooked. Ethan was getting ready to do that today, so this spoiler doesn't surprise me in the least. I imagine the Rebecca's secret thing will be in the conversation with Helena, so it's not like anyone else but the audience will know. But at least that's something.

LOL... yeah... but the problem is I'm now one of the only voices with a different opinion now that all of you left. Today someone said I'm the only poster they've ever seen that thought Laura wasn't a viable character, and I had to respond that we were definitely travelling in different online circles, 'cause I ain't the only one.

It does get a bit much, and who is the ultimate master in this large game of one upmanship? Who knows. Some things that did come across however is that Ethan is much more protective of Tracy than Holly, that Luke has no intention of hurting Tracy in this, and that both Ethan and Luke will work together to get the best of Holly in the end. Funny - the LnLers are saying look, Luke is kissing Holly too so how much could he really love Tracy (seriously 4 years in and you STILL won't read the memo?). Anyway for those who haven't seen it yet and are worried, I've had warmer kisses with male friends of mine in front of my husband (and no, I'm not talking about cutie-Frank or the Cub leader). There is zero interest in anything but the game, so just like the talk about the LuNacy fight was overblown yesterday, any talk about a Holly/Luke kiss will be overblown today. It's all fine.

Streak is over, no Tracy today. RECAPS, Wednesday May 20th STATS Vets: Luke, Holly Kisses: n/a Appearance: n/a Other Stories: Michael trying to make sense of everything; Carly both overjoyed and heartbroken that Michael is awake but angry at her; Olivia and Johnny do the deed.. on the COUCH; JaSam discuss Michael; Sonny tells Michael what happened; Carly pours out her heart to Michael who pretends he's sleeping; Sonny walks in on Olivia and Johnny Line of the Day: Sc. 1 - no Tracy; Luke/Ethan/Holly drinking at Patrick's place and Luke flirts a little but both Luke and Ethan demand answers. Sc. 2 - no Tracy; Patrick is trying to sort out what's going on. Ethan tells how he met Holly and she took all his money, he should have known she was looking for him. Luke asked if she came on to him and Ethan said no. Luke says that should have been his first clue. Ethan protested saying she's old enough... to be his mother, Luke finishes. Patrick then asks Luke what happened, if they slept together and Luke says yes... and it was glorious. They both thought it was the end of their lives. Holly concurs and says she didn't know if they would live or die. Luke leans in and asks why she didn't tell him she was pregnant. Holly then says who said she was? Patrick then tells them there is an easy way to deal with this, and they all look at him surprised. Sc. 3 - no Tracy; Patrick thinks Luke doesn't need Holly, just have a DNA test. Luke says they did that and Tracy rigged the results. Patrick says fine, do another... do 12 until you have the answer. Luke says no tests, it's beyond tests they have to hear the truth from Holly's rosebud lips. Ethan says he just wants to know if Holly is his mother, and if she ever gave a damn. Holly then tells Ethan that's not the point, the point is how much does Luke really want the answers. Luke asks that he has to show that by paying for it? Holly says yes, with Tracy's money. They will only know how serious Luke is about the truth if he's willing to risk his wife's displeasure by paying for the information. Luke smiles - game on. Sc. 4 - no LuNacy Sc. 5 - no Tracy; Luke says if she wants him to use his wife's money to buy the information, she's off her rocker. Ethan says he sees it, Holly wants Tracy so poor and broken that she will kick Luke to the curb. Holly gets up, nods her glass to Ethan and says 'smart boy'. Luke tries to further clarify that Holly wants to take Tracy's money and the two of them to ride off into the sunset. But what about the Artful Dodger. Holly asks if that's a trick question? Patrick then says they don't need a test, it's obvious they are related - they are all insane. He taps Luke on the shoulder and says "Congratulations, it's a boy" Then Patrick announces that he is going upstairs to kiss his daughter, call his wife and celebrate normal domesticity - that's something he never thought he would say. Then Patrick leaves. Sc. 6 - no LuNacy Sc. 7 - no Tracy; Ethan says as much as he wants to know who his parents are, he's not willing to destroy Tracy and Luke's marriage for the answers. Luke says he appreciates that Joey, now hop away because there are serious negotiations to be done. Ethan points out they aren't in Luke's house to Luke can't kick him out. Duly noted, Luke says then grabs Holly's hand to pull her out the door. Holly pulls back and says she's not going anywhere until the finances are worked out, once she has Tracy's money as her reward she will give Luke his. They both lean in for a kiss but Holly quickly pulls away and closes the door. Outside Ethan asks Luke now what? Luke says he hopes Ethan was taking notes because he just witnessed a master conwoman at the top of her game. Ethan just laughs and shakes her head, then Luke tells him to fasten his seatbelt for the ride of his life, and they both walk off excited about the game.

^^^ As long as it's not Luke, I don't really care. But nice that the Nanny gets some action - she spends all her time raising the 'action' of others. The article you had from SOW I believe, ES was saying that Holly assumed LuNacy was a marriage of convenience but when she realizes she's wrong she leaves. She can still believe it's Tracy's money that keeps Luke if only Tracy says something, but if Luke or someone else says/does something than that will send Holly the message. The jail thing is interesting. I'm wondering what that's all about. Nice to see Mac and Alexis being brought into this story too - they also have history with Holly and Luke respectively. What's the word on TG's vacation? Outside of the GV PA, did we actually hear when Lukey hits the road? I don't recall seeing anything.

Someone having sex on the Scrub's carpet? I can't see that being Luke/Holly. I can see that as Matt/Holly or Patrick/Robin however. And I gotta say I will be IRATE if Holly/Luke get a sex scene when Tracy/Luke never do. Luke has said idiotic things in the past, that's why I can't see it as terribly huge now. He's angry with good reason. Last time he said something that foolish he had to backpedal and we got that wonderful MC scene with Tracy saying ILY for the first time. This time Tracy is the one who has to backpedal and in these situations we've always gotten more LuNacy goodness out of it. I'm not worried, but it will be a ride until it all comes out in the wash. And the thing is we really do have to see how it plays out. Previews and spoilers are meant to give only one perspective, but we all know the line on a page can mean a million different things in the hands of either JE or TG, so we have to watch to see what really happens. Don't even trust my recaps because I miss things - see for yourselves. Today I think Lulu will tell Tracy where Holly/Luke/Ethan are and they will go to join them. Tracy will offer to pay Holly for the truth, and if she does that in front of Luke then Luke might realize that while Tracy has done something, she might honestly not know the true answer to the question of Ethan's parentage. That will carry drag with Luke too. However if she does it behind Luke's back then Holly could spin that as well. What we do know is that Holly leaves realizing that Luke truly loves Tracy, and she's not going to take Tracy's word on it. Something is going to happen where Luke will be all about Tracy in order to drive the point home to Holly. The words yesterday will not preclude anything. It was just two stupid comments from old fools who have too much ego and bluster on the line. If they just stepped back they would see more clearly - AND we wouldn't have a story. So there you go!

It's also in the delivery. Luke is angry - and justifiably so. The woman he loves more than anyone is lying to him and he knows it. He's given her countless chances to come clean and has even put his daughter in the middle to find the truth. Tracy is wrong on this one. Luke might not like the idea of being a father in theory, but he loves his kids and no way in hell is he going to turn his back on one. Luke and Ethan both deserve to know the truth, but Tracy and Holly are playing their games rather than being forthcoming. At this point Luke will do anything to find the answers, and if that means sleep with Holly than Tracy will have to accept responsibility for that - THAT is what Luke meant by it being on her head. Tracy is going to regret her choice to tamper like she always does, and do her self-flagellation bit. But by no means was it a fight, terrible or otherwise. Luke just laid it all out. And through it all the one consistent has been Luke wanting to find out the truth. He's not interested in Holly one iota, but if pretending will help him get the truth from someone, so be it. What this means for LuNacy in the short run, I have no idea. I do know they will work through this and get beyond, but Tracy has got to accept that she's crossed the line on this one. Manipulating the results about a parent/child thing is wrong and she would have a fit if it happened to her. I'm not sure of her motivation on this one, but if they are going to play the jealousy angle, then that's the part that's going to come back and bite Tracy in the ass.

Honestly LB, it wasn't a knock-down, kick-ass anything and Luke telling Tracy it was all on her was right - she didn't fess up and they both know she's keeping the truth. Perhaps they leave on bad terms, perhaps they don't, it's too soon to tell. Either way Tracy is in the wrong for the first time but LuNacy will survive - I believe that in my soul and by virtue of who has the contracts. They are still playing out the beats of this story and setting up a reason for Luke not to believe Tracy when she actually does tell him the truth. It's very soapy. But it still wasn't a huge fight - it was barely a threat.

Brutal fight? Project much? Nope. And once you see the recaps or the episode you will see for yourself. Tracy is completely acting true to form. Nothing really terrible, but awful enough with good intentions, to get herself into trouble. She will have to apologize and explain herself. But the big different here is that in the past when she's manipulated she gets the shaft. This time it might not be instant, but Luke will forgive her and assure her she doesn't have to fear him leaving her. Now whether that means they part on good terms or not, that's still to be seen. But anyone suggesting a huge fight between LuNacy was completely off their rocker. Lulu for Dante - an educated man? I can seriously go for that. As cute as Luthan are together, I don't see any real future with a grifter. Someone with staying power has to be a lot different in personality than Luke or Ethan. I hope she spends time with Ethan long enough for Lulu to realize some of her own dreams, then she will be prepared for a man who offers her more.

There wasn't a fight at all. No raised voices. Tracy calmly told Luke if he went to look for Holly don't come back - actually I was surprised by the line. Luke gave her yet another opportunity to come clean about the test results, but she smiled smugly and said she didn't have anything to say. Later she spilled to Lulu very quickly that she did pay the lab tech but didn't know the real results. This is our first opportunity for Tracy to need to grovel a little. Luke hasn't flirted with Holly at all and he's actually very mad to be in this situation. Tracy's agenda is a little unclear, but she's not in the light on this one. Unforgivable? No, not in the least. This might actually be what it takes to get LuNacy to a whole new level. So far Tracy hasn't put as much work into this marriage as Luke has.

RECAPS, Tuesday May 19th STATS Vets: Edward, Monica, Tracy, Luke, Holly Kisses: none Appearance: same outfit as yesterday Other Stories: Ethan saying he doesn't want to be Luke's son - too many schemers in the mix (Tracy, Holly, Luke...) and tells Lulu he doesn't know what to want; Holly at Scrubs talking about his life and the changes bringing a baby into the picture (sounds like Holly knew Ethan and gave him up for adoption because she couldn't cope); Claudia trying to find out what Michael knows and Johnny reminds her that the memories could come back; Carly/Jax/Sonny/Jason all about Michael's awakening. Line of the Day: Holly about Patrick's baby "Emma... I've always loved that name." Sc. 1 - Monica and Edward at the mansion talking about Michael (they don't know he's awake yet). They talk about how they should never have let Sonny take a Q out of that house. Tracy busts in and says she hopes they aren't hiding her. Monica/Edward wonder what she's talking about and Tracy says she hopes that 'butter wouldn't melt in my mouth' expression is legitimate - she's talking about Holly Sutton. Monica and Edward are surprised that Holly is back in town and Luke walks in saying he thought Holly might be there. Why Mon and Edward wonder? Luke says for the 5 star accommodation, and because I'm here, in a self-impressed manner. Tracy can't believe how he's acting. Sc. 2 - Jason calls the Q's about Michael being awake. At first Monica can't believe it but Jason tells her. Monica gets off the phone and tells Edward, Tracy and Luke. Edward is overjoyed, Tracy is shocked and Luke's expression is unreadable. Sc. 3 - no LuNacy Sc. 4 - Monica and Edward come into Michael's room, overjoyed that he's awake. Edward asks if he knows who they are, and Michael does. Then Edward start blustering about how they will make sure he's back with them and that Sonny won't win this time. Jason and Monica say it's not the time and send Edward out the door, then Monica leaves after telling Michael they will be back. Later they run into Sonny and tell him they are taking Michael back and changing his name back to Quartermaine. Olivia bursts in and tells the Q's to back off. Meanwhile at the mansion Tracy and Luke are discussing their situation and Tracy tells him he's being played. Luke protests and says he's not being conned, he's being baited and there's a difference that she would know if she knew the history he shared with Holly. Tracy isn't interested, but says she's amazed that Holly found a weakness in Luke that he didn't know he had - that she didn't even see. Luke wonders what she's talking about and Tracy goes on about how even the great Luke Spencer wants a legacy and a son to be proud of. Just then the phone rings and it's Holly asking for forgiveness. Sc. 5 - Holly says she's sorry it went that way. Luke wonders what she's talking about. Holly said she wanted to drink to old times, share some laughs, tell him the truth about Ethan but then the 'screaming banchee' you call a wife interfered. Holly can't imagine the hell Tracy puts him through, but Luke says that's part of her charm. Nevertheless, Holly continues, she's leaving. She's safe for the night at some doctor's but she's leaving. Luke says he doesn't want her to leave, and calls her back. When Luke gets off the phone Tracy demands he look at her, and then says he should think long and hard about leaving because he's not welcome back. Luke then tells Tracy she can end it all by admitting she rigged the DNA test. Tracy smiles and says she can't, because she didn't rig it. Luke says everything from here on out is on her shoulders, remember that. Then Luke leaves. Sc. 6 - Tracy on the phone with Spinelli, demanding his results saying he's not been great at finding information but he's certainly been able to cash the cheque. Lulu arrives and says Tracy's not going to be happy with what she has to say. Tracy says first she needs to explain to Lulu why she's been so difficult lately and tell her that Luke and Tracy are having big problems but might not be able to get past this one. "Holly Sutton" Lulu says. Tracy is stunned and wonders what Lulu knows. She tells Tracy she was with Ethan when she found out where Holly was. Tracy wants to know what she was doing with Ethan and Lulu says they're close. Tracy smiles and asks how close. You mean do I think he's my brother, Lulu asks? Tracy is surprised. Meanwhile Luke and Ethan show up on Patrick's doorstep looking for Holly. Sc. 7 - Luke is at the door when Holly answers. He looks menacing/attractive at Holly, who has since switched her attention to Ethan who is not nearly as amused. Ethan is really angry that Holly sent him to Port Charles under false pretences. Holly says she didn't, but the gloves are definitely off with LUke and he demands the truth from Holly. Meanwhile Tracy assures Lulu that Ethan isn't her brother, the DNA test was conclusive. Lulu says great, because she's going clubbing with Ethan. Clubbing? Tracy asks. Lulu says yeah, a little music, a little dancing, a little sex. Tracy says stop, and Lulu wonders what she's doing. Tracy admits she bribed a lab tech to make it negative but she doesn't know the real answer. She never saw the true results so she doesn't know. Lulu surmises that Holly is the only one who knows the truth and Tracy concurs, but acknowledges that they can't trust Holly.
