remos

I'm up to my neck with cleaning and directly children, otherwise I'd be game. Don't take it too badly, Hooked. Lately I've been consoled by a teacher who said basically that yes, I might yell at my kids but at least it's grammatically correct and using the Queen's English....

Depending on which version of Tracy's history you follow, the answer is either Yes or No, Trash was.

I hope that last part isn't true. I've been rethinking this, especially the last bit and I think perhaps we were reading it too figuratively and not literally. It makes sense that Luke would 'take care of his own', as he told Tracy he would, and perhaps that's what separates them before she gets sick. Literally they arrive together and then get split apart while Luke goes to do his Daddy thing. Perhaps this is when Tracy tells Lulu Johnny is a lot like Luke - because they both go off and to their thing without thinking of the feelings of the women they leave waiting. That's part of his distraction - then he finds out about Tracy and races back to her. Either way, whether it's all true, part true or none of it's true, I don't think we have to worry about the solidity of LuNacy at this stage of the game.

Insiders have already said the car thing wasn't true - and seriously they would have a hard time building Robin up after doing something like that. I also doubt his bid to find justice for Lulu. This sounds like fanfic, and it's very detailed for scenes that haven't even been filmed yet. I don't put much stock into this.

Morning all, I've decided to forgo a day of playing in the snow at -17 Celcius plus windchill and instead am spending the day cleaning and putting things in storage. How fun for me! Oh well, at least it will be done. Considering there really isn't anything new in the spoilers, I got thinking about the list of people who were supposed to get ill during the gala/cocktail party/whatever it actually is. (BTW, anyone notice that Carly specifically said the Quartermaines were invited? I thought that was a nice shout-out to the fans to let them know the Q's weren't being forgotten like they had been during the B&W ball the other year.) It's an interesting cross section of people, when you think about it.... Monica - having her unconscious is the only way to have another Mon/Alan scene (and I think I was something to the effect of Alan encouraging her to go on, but I could be wrong), and set the stage for the Emily look-alike. It also includes her in a story but not in a story. Liz - speaks to the quad and the continued game of chess they play Lulu - one of the hogs had to be down, and you know how Guza likes having everyone fighting for Lulu to survive Jax - really underscores that Carly has to choose who she wants Leyla/Trevor - the cast away characters (it's a shame especially Trevor - he could have mixed it up well with the vets.... sigh...) And then we have Tracy who has no other purpose as an ill person than to be with Luke. I think Guza has finally figured out that these two are a romantic powerhouse and using them together is better than having them at odds. And now that ewcbo seems to have finally gotten the message, there's nothing holding them to the past. The Luke of the last two weeks has certainly not spent any time wondering about the woulda/coulda/shoulda's. I just hope Guza keeps this up and starts writing them as "LuNacy against the world", and no more "LuNacy against each other".

Ms. Q, you've done some great stuff, but I think that tops them all. My cheeks hurt, that's how much I grinned through the 10 times the Diva wanted to see it - I posted a comment on YT under Mikey's username. Sorry I haven't been around - getting used to transit only in a city that's -20 is taking a bit of work. Seems like Tracy hasn't been seen or mentioned since Monday, so I haven't missed much. Watching your vid made me think..... Best outfit - March/April at MC just after Tracy's financial meeting; Salmon jacket and tailored black pants Best hair - February's homeless Tracy being chased around the hospital by Luke Best line - leash and collar at MC opening Best kiss - NYE I don't remember the other categories....

I think we've got some good stuff coming up for Tracy. We've had some good stuff lately - Monday being a complete surprise. As for the distraction, we don't know when/who it's going to be. Perhaps he knows Rayner and knows he's a dirty agent - it could make it interesting and could present the reason for Robert to return for his brief stint this spring. If Robert comes to escort Luke away for TG's summer vacation it would give lots of opportunities for Tracy. The time frame sounds good regardless of it's source - sounds like compiled spoilers since Scrubs has been getting the most of the insider information, and we've got mediapic to back much of it up. Either way it sounds like it's going to be a 3 months tale that will be fun to watch. Wish they weren't killing Trevor (I could do so much with that boy if I'd half a chance), but at lest it isn't a central character. Hooked, I'm not liking the fainting stuff. Any idea what that's all about? Did the retail therapy work?

This just popped up on the IL, and I think it's even better than I originally thought as for build-up. I hope they don't have the clock flashing on the screen again, but seems like the next week is the build up to the Gala, then February itself should be the Gala. Tracy/LuNacy isn't mentioned, but that doesn't mean anything - this is just the highlights from the main characters: 15th (real time) flashes forward to Jan. 28th ~ 7pm (GH time) at the beginning of the show. Then 10-11 - Elizabeth offers to help Robin get settled at her and Patrick's new house. Robin makes a quick exit when Emma starts to cry and asks a baffled Elizabeth to look after the baby. Robin questions Jason on what it was like when Carly suffered from post-partum depression. Patrick makes an alarming discovery. A disaster is in the making at the hospital.Sonny asks Jason if he's made a deal with the FBI; 16th (real time) is Jan. 28th ~ 11-12 pm (GH time) - Patrick recalls the events before disaster struck.Jason and Sonny are honest with one another about their personal agendas 17th (real time) is WEEKEND 18th (real time) is WEEKEND 19th (real time) is Jan. 28th ~ 12-1 (GH time) - Robin's on the verge of admitting she might have a problem when Matt pays her and Patrick a surprise visit. Patrick and Robin sit back and watch the fireworks between Matt and Maxie. Robin playfully admits to Patrick that Matt reminds her of him when they first met. Patrick recalls events leading up to the mysterious catastrophe at the hospital.Sam continues her quest to infiltrate Anthony's inner circle; Jason questions Carly's reasons for throwing the charity benefit; Nikolas tells Olivia that he wants to keep Spoon Island intact. 20th (real time) is pre-empted 21th (real time) is Jan. 28th ~ 1-2 pm (GH time) - Worried that Carly is setting herself up for heartbreak where Michael is concerned, Jason makes an appointment to meet with Patrick.Claudia plans on seducing Ric; Elizabeth keeps her shift at the hospital; Maxie wonders why Lulu is with Johnny. 22th (real time) is Jan. 28th ~2-3 pm (GH time) - Nikolas admits to a sympathetic Robin that he's still not completely over Emily. Patrick asks Jason, and later Nikolas, if they think Robin is acting like her normal self. Carly drops in on Robin to invite her to the benefit and is taken aback when Robin snaps at her after Emma starts to cry. Patrick realizes there's a disaster in the making at the hospital. Claudia and Ric narrowly escape being caught in bed together by Sonny; Jason discovers Spinelli trying to hack into the FBI database. 23th (real time) is Jan. 28th ~ 3-4 pm (GH time) - Carly admits to Patrick she thinks Robin is suffering from past partum depression. Robin struggles with motherhood. Patrick races to avert a catastrophe at the hospital.Agent Rayner gets alarming news; Frank races to avert chaos at the hospital. 24th (real time) is WEEKEND 25th (real time) is WEEKEND 26th (real time) is Jan. 28th ~ 4-5 pm (GH time) - 27th (real time) is Jan. 28th ~ 5-6 pm (GH time) 28th (real time) is Jan. 28th ~ 6-7 pm (GH time) - Patrick can't stop a tragedy in the making.

Hi Erica, so glad you could make it. Is it just me of is it taking much longer to get approval here than it used to? MF, nice to see you posting. You've been missed. Mama should be getting some good stuff. Papa is pouring on the love and willing her to live, and an insider said the only two unconscious pretty well throughout are Monica and Liz. Mon might be getting some time with Alan, which would be nice, but no confirmation on that. Actually little confirmation on any of it. Insiders have been very quiet, so we can't be sure about what it true spoilage and what is sh*t of the bull. It's DAMN cold up here. Last night windchill had us around -35 (and for those who don't know what that is, at -40 C and F meet up). It be COLD!!!! No LuNacy today.... Jason/Spin trying to deal with the new reality of Spin doing nothing and Jason is a snitch. CarJax cuteness. Maxie/JoLu money & apartment drama. Claudia find another disk after give Kate is on to her. Lucky being the village idiot and treating Sam as though she can't made decisions for herself Robin's PPD seriously kicking into overdrive. (Complete in house with white picket fence) Alexis parts are short but comical - she keeps arriving at the wrong time. I know not everyone watches everything, and some here don't care for anything outside of LuNacy, but I've got to say the show has been improving, stories are moving, characters are interacting across the board, family is visiting family.... its geting more interesting all the time.

No LuNacy - but that's not unexpected. Spinelli wrestles with his role beside Jason and getting arrested. Carly says no to Jason - she won't stand up Jax for Sason. Sonny told AZ to fly, with Claudia's support. Robin denying her issues. Nicadine is nauseating in the post hearing drivel. CarJax cuteness. Jason agrees to be the FBI informant in exchange for Spinelli's freedom, Sonny/Z's first target.

Thanks Nex, it's great.

Nah.... I think it's perfectly them. The minute they move in for a kiss, their mutual vulnerability surfaces and they show the tenderness between them. I think that kiss was incredibly passionate. As for the dialogue, yeah, that does get repetitive. But can you seriously see the writers having her say something like "I'm so totally in love with you that it scares me and threatens to consume every thing I do". That's not Tracy. Luke gets it regardless of the words they use.

Okay, where are you chatting now? I didn't get the latest.

If it's the BR I can't get in (Java issues) if it's the new chatroom someone share us a link, SVP. I've been in kid land all day - I'd love some adult conversation.

Hi MF, glad you stopped in. I was also thinking Friday was all of a minute - and we got scene follow-up. How often has that happened? Last one I remember was when Luke said "You just don't get it. I love you, Tracy. I. Love. You." Seriously folks, something has shifted substantially and romance seems to be on a good foot.

You might be a dork, but you're not alone. I think that was their most impressive kiss ever, and coming on the heels of NYE that's saying something. If Guza is going for romance (as it's been said a few times on SD) I'm glad ours is one of the first couples to receive the golden pen. But you know what we really need.... who's counting how many times Luke says ILY compared to Tracy? I'm betting he's easily 2-1 if not 3-1. Those words do not come trippingly to her tongue, do they. BTW, Nex, thanks for the offer to edit it differently for me. What are you on? Does the computer make a difference do you think? I'm thinking about going for a Mac this time since I've had such a bad year with my PC. Opinions?

Wowza.... the kiss banner won't contain that... we need a serious kissing mvid, Ms.Q. (Perhaps using "In His Kiss" or whatever that cute 60's song was called) Anyway, scene 6: Tracy is worried about what happens if Luke is pulled back into the mob, and Luke assures her he isn't a stupid kid - he did that once and he got out. What happens if the Star is destroyed instead of remaining neutral as per Sonny's agreement? Luke says then he protects what's his. Tracy is exasperated and Luke says why is she bending herself out of shape when her shape is so perfect. Tracy admits she wants him there with her driving her crazy, stealing her money and stealing her heart (yeah, their song is playing). She grabs him by the front of his jacket and shakes him saying "Don't you get it, you're the best time I have every had, and I'm no where near ready to give it up". Luke is smiling lovingly the whole time. Then she says "New Rule. If you get killed only I can do it." Luke smiles and says he can live with that. Then the kiss....

Okay, Scene 4 - Tracy runs down that Sonny is dangerous. Luke says something to the effect that he knows more about this stuff than she does. Tracy says don't patronize her - she used to run a mob, and then proceeds to give him a very accurate run down of the state of the mob in Port Charles currently. Luke realizes he's not playing with a clueless wife. (Waiting for Cazi to get the rest up.) Nex, is it possible to lighten the scenes? Everything I receive is dark - and when the HS is already dark, everything is almost black.

Really..... sh*t.... I was out with the kids and didn't think we'd get anything. Let me see what I can find out. Okay, this was PM'd me by one of the new kids: Omg, you missed it?! I'll send you a PM Actually I'll just type it here. Okay so they were going at it at first, she was talking about how she knows what mob wars look like because her husband was a mob enforcer and she took over the organization and he told her that in this case he knows more than she does. She also talked about how she noticed he was in her bank account the past weeked (LOL) They had some of those moments then a little while later he asked her something about why she cares so much and she went on about how she wants him there with her, stealing her money and stealing her heart and how he's the best time she's ever had. And that if anyone kills him she's the only one who gets to do it A kiss too, a nice one

Would they be that creative? You know, Larry and Paul's hands weren't very clean.....

What gets me is that many fans actually fall for it - if that was me I'd be livid for being used that way. Ms.Q, I think we can rest easy in these spoilers. Remember NYE was spoiled and it was better than we expected. I think we are going to get some LuNacy worthy stuff - heaven knows they have to make up for 2008. But regardless of the quantity - Luke fighting to get to Tracy, and then fighting for her to live will be fabulous. Remember Tracy told him to live for her? I wonder what Lukey will tell his fair Spanky Buns....

Monica's not dying, just in a coma - which will make it easier to interact with Alan. I'm not sure if that is how they will do it but I think I saw somewhere that Monica and Alan have a scene together and he tells her it's not her time yet, or something like that. I'm so glad Tracy will be awake. I suspected she would. TG's good doing the death-bed soliloquy, but when JE's involved he's so much better when she's responding to him. Besides, if his heart attack and her willing him to live was the solidifying factor in LuNacy (according to Luke), then her illness and his willing her to live will push them over the moon. Don't look now, but ewcbo is doing her fan-manipulation whine again. True to form. Remember I pointed out it was every 2-3 months for almost a year and a half after that 2006 travesty. Well guess what - it's been two months- lets make sure her fans cry in protest "I don't understand why they don't want me.....". Others handle this with so much more class. Considering tomorrow is the 12th, and the 15th is supposed to be the beginning of the Gala, I wonder when we will see Tracy. She still has to draw the comparison between Luke and Johnny for Lulu, and we've only got a few days for that to happen before they are felled during the Gala. (Unless that was a false spoiler, but it's pretty keeping with Tracy's opinions.) No new drops on the IL, just that Guza is intentionally making more use of romance and family - Scrubs was just the beginning. I'm just hoping LuNacy gets some of that romantic action.

Evening everyone..... these just popped up in the IL on SD... Kate tells Olivia that secrets are tearing her world apart Sonny tells Kate it's too painful to be near her Claudia overhears Olivia and Kate talking about Dante Ric covers for Claudia when Anthony becomes suspicious Ric asks Claudia to trust in him Maxie tells Spinelli she can't help him Winifred confesses to Spinelli all about Rayner Jason and Sam are barred from the hospital Jason threatens Rayner Patrick has it out with Tracy over Monica Monica asks Patrick to let her go So I guess she's active for awhile before she's felled by whatever the biotoxin is. Still no word on how Luke "comes through" for her. But both Tracy and Monica in spoilers is great to see. EDIT And more.... Monica dies?? Quote: She just tells Patrick to let her go be with Alan but he fights for her life anyway. This has all been confirmed as legit.... Sam offers Anthony a way to smuggle his shipments through Jason's territory without being caught. Lucky puts his career and life in jeopardy by breaking quarantine. Alexis and Ric frantically try to get aid for Molly. Luke tells Sonny that if Tracy or Liz dies, he will seek "justice" the Spencer way. Claudia agrees to help Sonny get what he needs to bring her father down. Robin tries unsuccessfully to contact her parents. Just a thought... they brought on Agent Reynor for this FBI role, but couldn't that job have been done by Robert or Jaggar - someone who has ties to the canvas? Another missed opportunity IMO.

I'm hoping, Hooked - that was definitely a question that needed an answer. And honestly it could go either way, but I think she will tell him that she's not going to police his life, but it does worry her. It was in there with Spinelli's arrest and Sonny's ship blowing up, so those will definitely be carried over on Monday. I like the hair - sue me. The jacket on the other hand.... no liking it. But then I was spoiled to have NYE in my favourite jacket - everything else is substandard.
