remos

No Tracy. Luke and Ethan playing pool. Ethan admits he knows Holly Sutton and Luke demands he spill it. Ethan says he's adopted, doesn't know his biological parents, adopted parents died when he was 15. Since then he's been on the road, playing cards and doing odd jobs. He met Holly at a resort and she told Ethan she perfected her moves from a guy in Port Charles JoMax - Find Robin and Emma in the snow and take them to GH Sonny - wants to kill AZ, chasing him through the hospital, but in the end just knocks him out when Jason asks that Sonny think of Spinelli Trevor - has the missing ball of toxin and insanely tells Claudia his plans Win/Spin - remove the toxin balls and rush out of the OR just as it explodes Others - Kate thinks Sonny will return to her once he gets revenge by killing AZ; Nicholas catches up with Rebecca; Jax bullies Raynor by threatening the press will hear about everything if he doesn't come clean and keep Jax in the loop Line of the Day - Trevor asks AZ how he knows Sonny wants to kill him. AZ says "He's chasing after me with a big frigging gun, Trevor. How smart do I have to be?"

They are married. I think that should read he plans to STAY married to Claudia.

That's the following week, Hooked. Next week is the 9th when people need to be removed. Nothings to say they don't get to Tracy, get everyone safe and then start up their BS again. The Luke/Ethan thing is going to go on for awhile (and now there's even more suggestion that Ethan is not Dante per. SID MB interview). But Luke has never missed an opportunity to have a larger part in a sweeps event - and you know Guza/Frons are wanting to take advantage of the fact that not everyone knows sweeps has been moved to March this year.

Recaps, Thursday, February 5 STATS Vets: Tracy, Edward Kisses: n/a Appearance: blue scrubs/hospital gown, tubes etc. Other Stories: LnL2/Nicholas - bonding and "Where's Becca" game; Robin/Emma - lost in snow; JoMax - driving, find Robin's van then find Robin; ClauSon - Sonny goes after AZ who runs off when Jason stops Sonny; Hero Team - angry that FBI only concerned with toxin not people; Carly - around hospital talking to everyone; Win/Spin - hasmat taking toxin, Spin knows more info about Equinox Line of the Day: Epiph to Jason, basically telling him people are dying, the hospital is in lockdown, a toxin is getting everywhere and she's stuck fixing up a shoot out with his mob buddies. "You're nuts" (watch YT, I can't do it justice) Sc. 1 - Patrick telling Tracy to slowly breath, to calm down before she has a panic attack. Then tells Nadine to call in that they have another victim of the toxin. Sc. 2 - Pat telling the orderlies to take Tracy to ICU. Carly/Patrick talk about Tracy and Pat says his best guess is Tracy's having a delayed reaction. Carly realizes everyone is still at risk and no one knows anything. Sc. 3 - no Tracy; Patrick yelling at Raynor that another woman has gone down and he doesn't know if it's delayed reaction or if the entire hospital is infected. Sc. 4 - no Tracy; Carly comforts Edward after he says he's going to force all his friends to pay for Michael's foundation. She asks how he's doing, that they were concerned for him. Edward says he's fine and that his heart gave a little concern but nothing happened. He also says Monica is holding her own so that's good. Carly says unfortunately someone else has gotten sick from the poison. Edward asks if it's Jason, and she says no it's Tracy. Edward doesn't belief it saying Tracy is just looking for attention from some young doctor. Carly says no, she was there and saw it. Tracy wasn't faking and luckily Patrick was there and took care of Tracy. Edward shows no emotion and asks if she's being kept comfortable. He continues to express his frustration for no one knowing anything. Sc. 5 - no Tracy; Edward telling Carly this is his curse - to linger while everyone else is gone. He always thought Tracy was invulnerable. Carly says to stop, no one's died yet and Tracy would be angry at writting her off so easily. Edward laughs and says she'd spit on him. Edward says part of him has always admired Tracy's strength and abilities, though he'd never tell her that. But he's still upset for her. Carly says they're still your kids no matter how old they are, then says love is all you have. Sc. 6 - Edward goes timidly into Tracy's room, she's unconscious. Talking to her he says he should be better at this - saying he's had enough practice praying for a miracle, praying for the best while preparing for a loss (then lists all of the family they've lost) and now Monica. He thought he'd be mentally prepared enough but not this "Not you... you're too tough. You're too determined. That this should take you before me. I'm a fool and too seldom do I tell you I love you, and I do love you. And I'm so proud of you...." "You're going to make me sick" Tracy says as she wakes up. Edward starts to look relieved and says "Oh, that's my girl." Tracy slowly turns to look at him. Sc. 7 - no Tracy

Anybody have their super-duper decoder ring on to figure out what this means... If the insider is still here....anything on Luke, Luke/Tracy, Luke/Ethan TIA. Luke takes Ethan under his wing. Tracy doesn't really understand why. Lulu finds out something about Ethan that the audience is not privvy too that evidently Luke would not like but doesn't tell him because of something else the audience is not privvy to.

I don't think there is anything to be upset about with Luke not being there right now. It underscores the fact that Tracy has lots of people to interact with - not just Luke. She doesn't have to be dropped from the face of the planet when he's not around. I hope this is a lesson learned. I'm still betting that Lulu will be concerned - might even be the one to call her father because I can't think of anyone else who would do that. Edward doesn't think that much of Luke and he'll be very upset. I'm looking forward to some great Ed/Trace stuff. You know LuNacy will knock it out of the park when they are together, but not being together right now just heightens the expectation. Even on SOC I see the remaining LnL hardliners are now asking what Luke will be like when he finally gets to Tracy's side. Everyone is waiting and the way Luke is in such a lighthearted, throw away story right now just underscores the fact that he's going to have huge guilt and a big reaction when he finally realizes what his wife has been going through without him. I can't wait to see them together next week - but in the meantime we have Edward needing to apologize for 60+ years of treatment. That has been a long time coming too. LB, the lap thing really bothered me - stomach dropping bothered me. The only thing that improved it was that Luke hardly looked at the woman and didn't trail her with his eyes, which he's been known to do in the past. She was truly just a prop. Luke also acknowledged Tracy twice - unfortunately in connection with money, but that's what he and Ethan are really talking about so I guess it makes sense - but he has yet to acknowledge anyone else in his life. That's a little warm fuzzy. And about the "Oh crap", I think it was perfectly in character for Mrs. L. L. Spencer. We've talked before about how she's starting to pick up some of his turns of speech much like Luke has started to pick up some of Tracy's. It's a natural part of living together. She knew what was happening and the significance of it more than anyone else thus far. And it showed that even going down she was still tougher than any of the others. I saw someone say something about AU, but I didn't pay attention. Guess I'll have to go back and have a look. Bobbie has GOT to be involved in that one. I wonder who will be playing BJ?

Around the dial..... Wubs **Ethan reveals his ties to a family the Spencers knew long, long ago... **Tracy's condition gets worse Blog: Edward and Tracy: blah, blah….too fun. The best part of the show. Edward was going to talk to Alan (the ghost)! LOL.. I wish Alan was there! Tracy goes down with a heart attack, Sam accidentaly shoots Jason (ha) Robin is walking in knee deep snow. (Me - she had a heart attack? I thought is was the biotoxin. February is Heart Month..... maybe.... Daytime Confidential Silly line of the day: Tracy to Monica: “You’re awake?” Well Tracy, you and Edward have been screaming for five minutes, right beside her bed, so of course she’s awake. Heck Layla and Andy in the morgue can hear you!! Soap Zone The Good, the Bad and the Ugly for Feb. 4th. The Good: Tracy's continued digs at Sason. Calling them both thugs is music to my ears. Monica waking up b/c Tracy & Edward were fighting. It was a classic Quartermaine moment.

Well Carly looks like she has sneakers on too. Perhaps Jane requested it (we know she likes her slippers), or perhaps they dressed her in things that could easily be removed because she was the next/last to go down. But from JE's perspective, I bet she's enjoying a few days without heals and make-up.

^^^ Picky, picky, picky..... she's had to play almost every strong female sterotype that you can imagine, but she's never had to play collapsing before. I thought it was better than Lukey's heart attacks - but wanna lay odds the same director was telling them how to do it?

Recaps, Wednesday January 4th STATS Vets: Monica, Edward, Tracy, Kisses: n/a Appearance: Dark blue orderly garb and ugly shoes with cloth covering Other Stories: Pat/Sam/Jason/Spin in hero mode; Robin taking Emma through blizzard and the van has problems; JoMax don't go all the way; Lulu's trying to get out of hospital to find Johnny; Lucky sitting with Liz; Jax trying to throw weight around to get answers; Alexis taking control situation; Spin is worried about Maxie; Robin/Emma walking in the blizzard; delivery guy trys to use Jase as hostage to get out; Sam shoots Jason in the shoulder while they try to deal with the delivery guy Line of the Day: Tracy to Edward - "Why can't you just be proud of your children for who they are?" Sc. 1 - no Tracy Sc. 2 - no Tracy Sc. 3 - Tracy brings coffee to Edward and Monica, saying she needs to have a spare set of clothing in her office for next time a toxic chemical is set loose in the hospital. Edward says she survived the cleansing just like he did, and she looks like would have made a good doctor - Tracy says she looks like an orderly. Edward/Tracy argument - (Sorry, sorry... I just can't keep up.) Tracy demands why can't Edward just be proud of his children for a change. Tracy was the one who was the business person, not Alan. Edward says Alan was the steady one, she ran around Europe looking for a husband. Tracy says she wouldn't have had to if he had given her the business like he should have, and that Alan couldn't manage anything including the hospital. Edward gets up and says lets ask Alan? then looks at Tracy asking if Alan was around. Tracy says don't mock me. Monica awakes and tells them both to stop arguing. Edward tells Monica about the biotoxin. Sc. 4 - Edward tells Monica the poison should be contained. Jason comes in to see Monica. Tracy says fine, but let her get out of there first before she gets contaminated. Edward is perplexed saying Tracy was exposed to the toxin, not Jason. Jason says he's glad Monica is doing better. Monica asks if Jason is responsible for this and Jason is surprised by her question. Sc. 5 - Jason tells Monica he's got nothing to do with the biotoxin and is working with the FBI. He assures Monica that he would never intentionally hurt innocent people or the hospital. Monica says she knows but it's nice to hear. They talk about how Monica is feeling and how Jason has to help the people who need it. Edward and Tracy come back in and Ed asks if Jason is actually helping. Monica says she always knew he could be a doctor. Tracy laughs and says "That thug?" Monica says he had nothing to do with this, and Tracy asks when is Monica ever going to take off her rose coloured glasses and see Jason for whom he really is. Sc. 6 - no Tracy Sc. 7 - Tracy (breathing hard) tells Patrick he needs to apologize to the Q's. Patrick says he'll apologize later but right now he's got a job to do. Tracy isn't letting him go and keeps yelling at him. Patrick yells back and it's obvious Tracy is struggling. She starts to really gasp for breath as she clutches her chest, and says "Oh crap", and she falls in to Patrick and crumbles to the floor. Patrick tries to get her to focus on breathing.

Sorry to hear about the flu. Up until now the only BS we've received YTD is that Tracy wasn't getting sick after all. Turns out the original spoilers were correct. Not only is Tracy becoming sick and needing Luke to be her hero (something we've all wanted) but they are also having Luke and Tracy is two different stories at the moment, picking up on our argument that Tracy doesn't need Luke around to be in a story. I hope these are lessons well learned at that we won't have 2009 being the disaster that 2008 was.

Well Matt is said to recover quickly. Monica is amoung the worst while Tracy was the last sick. Winnie on that helicopter ride is an odd one. I would imagine they would have to be transported to Mercy before they were cleared to return home. Anyone on SD elaborate about what we will be enjoying after the crisis with LuNacy?

Positivity, Hooked. You know Lukey is going to be at the hospital next week and will rescue his lady fair. Luke has not missed being the hero in a single sweeps in his 30 years, if he was on the canvas at the time. Even his second heart attack at the B&W Ball was because he wanted to 'rescue' Nicholas from his grief. He'll be there. At least Tracy is mentioned. That's nice to see.

Okay. And Luke is in all of this as Tracy's rescuer/hero where exactly? Now I can see him getting her to the helicopter, knowing she'll be taken to safety, and then return to help others - that's a Luke thing to do.

Is anyone keeping a tally of how many GH actors love the LuNacy pairing and want to work with JE? It's nice every time I see it - and it's almost always when personal preferences are listed. Hooked, perhaps the search function works when you sign in, but for the masses it's still not there. I refuse to sign up with SD just to be able to search. I know that's in your capable hands. So, this is supposed to be the day Tracy gets sick. Can't wait! (I know that sounds wrong, but all of you know what I mean.) From the look of the mediapics, this is Quartermaine Wednesday. I hope the pics of Lulu being upset are outside of Tracy's room and she calls Luke to come.

It's not letting me in for some reason. I've even rebooted and nothing. What's that all about?

Okay, no Tracy or Q's (or Jason for that matter), but we did have Lukey: Luke/Ethan - Luke scams Ethan by pretending to make out with Nina, Ethan's girlfriend (I didn't like it but Luke was using her as a prop. Tracy wouldn't be amused.) Ethan tried to con Luke saying he was just a younger, better looking version of Luke, but Luke wasn't having any of that and wanted the money back Ethan took. Ethan said Luke didn't need the money because he had a Casino, a rich wife and didn't look like he was the loving fatherly type to need money to raise his kids. Luke said at least he got the last part right. Trevor/AZ - Trevor was faking, he's not sick. Stopped AZ from killing Claudia and now knows that AZ can walk ClauSon - He wanted to make sure she was fine, kicked AZ out of the room twice, and Claudia told Sonny about AZ walking/shooting Kate. Leyla died; Nic still thinks he sees Emily; Maxie/Johnny decide to do the dirty to really ruin it with Spinelli/Lulu before they do something really bad; Emma sick so Robin heads to ER; Kate wants Liv to get the DVD And my favourite moment: Sonny to Patrick "You have to tell me what's going on, and tell me like a 10 year old" (are they looking at my posts? I say things like that!)

Oh that is funny. Thanks Hooked. It's a shame MJV is so heavy handed a writer, but I think they all must squeal with glee when they find out they have to write some TQ stingers. I'm wondering how they are going to get all those pics of Tracy in before the week is over. I can't wait to hear what Edward has to say to his daughter - I just wish she was conscious enough to hear them. The pick with Patrick and the orderlies is upsetting, but not because she looks like a man (she doesn't IMO) but it does look like she's struggling for every breath she can get. I can't see them having time to collapse her more than once. I wonder when Luke will arrive. We were told he wills her to live at the same time we were told she becomes sick. Then we were given some other whoey about her not getting sick, and now the sick insider has proven to be correct. So we might get that scene (I hope it's plural) afterall. Bottom like however is that Luke saves her. That's what we've all been waiting for. Looks like the spoiler about Monica seeing Alan is true to.... This was on SD: Monica recovers with Alan's help

Hey all, just popping in for a moment before I go to bed. My eyes are killing me again and my head hurts like a bugger - Science Centres are not top of my personal to-do list. TL - thanks for the recaps, I appreciate them and you stepping in to that job Ms. Q - thanks for the pictures. I hope they play the beats and have Tracy out of it long enough to have some serious emoting from her Daddy and her hubby. Hooked - thanks for the spoiler. So we're going to be happy after the crisis..... which one? The biotoxin, the fire, or after the whole kit'n'kaboddle is over? Anymore explanation given? I didn't get a completely clear look at Tracy's face today because I was watching the clips by CG on YT, but did Tracy look terrified once she was out of that board room and asking what was next? I get the feeling that was the first time it dawned on her that she was personally at risk. Prior to that it was probably about Edward. So, anyone want to talk about how Luke gets a very sick Tracy out to safety. Wheelchair? Wheels out the bed? Helps her walk? Carries her? I'm hoping the last one.

Hey gang, I'm off to the Science Centre with the screamers today (Zion is 6 - and I still can't get my head around that one), so we're taking his godfather to play. I hope we get some good Tracy, but I won't be around to recap. If anyone else can I would really appreciate it. Is today when Piph scrubs her down? That should be a popcorn moment (or perhaps not, because it would become a choking hazard).

That's what I was thinking about Nadine, Hooked. There just isn't time for her to 'go insane' by this coming Friday (because the 8th is a Sunday, why that date given I have no idea). Now the part of Ethan being around the Q's, I think I've seen that before. And Ethan is being Dante/not-Dante, and the son of Mac/Luke/Robert/Jax/Frisco. Guza must be laughing about that one, with all this speculation he really did make a drop. Thank god Ethan's better looking than that stock photo drop last week.

This was all I needed to know. Thank you. (I'm playing the role of sheep on this one - just tell me when/where/what and I show up. I'm very easy that way. )

So are you wanting us to know help cull the list to our top 3-4 or have you already done that? (These things confuse me )

Can't believe I'm actually having to bump the thread because it's slipped from first place. Anyway, when do you want us to vote TL? After Tuesday i assume.
