QueenTracy

We definitely need to get the Jane/Tracy buzz going in a big way. I definitely wouldn't count out the possibility of her getting something with another show, but as long as we still have a chance to keep her as Tracy, I want to see some TQ on GH!

Bumping TL's Jane/Tracy links on SOC... Sharing The Tracy Love, it's her 30th anniversary! needs another bump. I posted last. Who's next?

I agree. Depending on the perspective of the one giving the scoop, it's a secret to most of the characters if not to the audience. And it's been a year and a half since Tracy's knowledge of Scott's involvement has been mentioned by anyone. So, to some of the audience, this may be news. Belated Happy Birthday, TL! Sounds like you had a wonderful day.

Hmmm...there's that word again - "twist". Wasn't the secret Tracy knows mentioned as being the "twist"? I agree with you, hooked, about the implications of that twist. I just hope it isn't written as "It's all Tracy's fault" with the first wife lavished with all the nobility. Tracy certainly has more facets to her personality than her predecessor, but part of her can be just as compassionate and giving as any character on canvas. Imagine that the tables were turned, and the first wife had been in Tracy's place. Would she have treated Dillon as her own child regardless of his treatment of her, and done it while her husband was MIA without a word as often as not? The Shadybrook Saint would have caved the first month, I bet. Tracy didn't. She went the distance, and is still going.

Hooked, Luke being the shadow by the door has crossed my mind as well. Scotty seems too obvious. As for the note, I'm wondering if maybe it's Lulu in a subconscious attempt to punish herself. Is that way too deep for Guza? LOL But maybe a split personality, and we know that's not too deep since it's a soap staple. That wouldn't be the twist with Tracy, but it would be a twist. Whatever is coming up, I am tempering my trepidation and my enthusiasm... It probably won't be character destruction. If it was, fans would be storming gates. Remember all the spoilers that inferred Tracy saw Lulu with her mother? Maybe she did, and later confronted her with each agreeing not to tell anyone. I can see their striking an alliance with the sainted mother being the noble way, of course. Isn't it always that way. If you think about it, anything Tracy does regarding Lulu's unfortunate mother is, essentially, protecting not only Tracy, but her place in Luke's and Lulu's lives. If they wrote it that way, it would be classic Tracy. Her survival instincts and love for her family would both be in play.

Mixed feelings here... I love the Evolved Tracy who has acted selflessly toward a self-absorbed ingrate. Actually, I was thinking of Lulu, but it would apply to Luke a lot, too! So, I don't want to see what would essentially be a rewrite of that. What trumps everything, though, for me, is for Tracy to have the most opportunity for story if/when TG leaves and/or they redo LnL. So, whatever that is, and if this "twist" is it, bring it on...I think.

Jane conveys so much even without dialogue. Amazing... No time now, but will be on SOC later to spread the Jane/Tracy love.

This is fantastic!! Thanks for posting it, hooked. And, you know, I really like the fact that this has been going on for as long as it has. People are getting involved to an extent they've never been before, and others are getting involved for the first time. This election is so important, probably more important than any in my lifetime.

Thanks, hooked. Could you try the second one again? I don't think the whole address made it into the link. Thanks! I'm definitely going to help create TQ buzz about interactions with other characters.

I know exactly how you feel, Ms. Q. I care what happens storywise, but what I see *not* happening is what I care about even more. I can't believe how they have attempted to reduce Tracy as a character over these past several months. If they had given Jane/Tracy even a fraction of the propping, media attention, airtime, etc. that they've given GF, they might not have had their worst year ratings-wise. And the fact that their worst ratings and JE's absymal airtime has coincided is, I think, not a coincidence. She's the best they have, and with all the returns, bring backs and re-hauling of the shows, she can be part of this resurrection they seem to be gearing up for. We just need to push for it on her behalf. As Remos mentioned in another post, Jane shouldn't have to do it. Her fans should be the ones.

Or maybe she would stay, with or without a love interest. Jane played Tracy, on and off, for almost three decades before Tracy and Luke were paired. If they revert to L and L, I don't think that Jane is going to hang her head, and walk out the door. Unlike some characters in couplings, Tracy has been enormously popular as an individual character. No one here knows what Jane would do. What is known, though, is that she, along with other castmembers, have asked for more with the Quartermaines. That doesn't sound like someone who is ready to leave if she doesn't have a love interest.

I checked it out, and the photo made me laugh...and that's something I realized I haven't done in days. So, thanks for the link, hooked. Don't see the romance there, but they could be awesome adversaries. Generating buzz is something positive to do, and I'm all for that. I'm not for going the AZ romantic route, but there's still potential there for a story.

I'm adding my ditto... I love LuNacy, but I'm a JE/Tracy fan first and foremost. Regardless of what happens over the next few months, Tracy *and* Jane deserve to be recognized as valuable, and not as an appendage to Luke/TG. We don't even know if he will be staying beyond the first of the year. If he does, and if they are still a couple, he will still be gone half the year. I'm to the point that what bothers me most is GF getting all the hype, and the airtime while Jane is given scraps. That has to change!

I didn't like the "shrew" comment either. A shrew is, for the most part, someone who nags. The only time Tracy was a shrew, in that sense, was earlier this year, and it was *very* much out of character. The mags are so biased, it's pathetic. I'm sick of it, too. Seems to me she's closer to being a saint than other so-called saintly (or "angelic" ) characters. Tracy treats Lulu as if she were her own daughter despite being trashed by her repeatedly. She's also coming dangerously close to being that "long-suffering" wife she told Luke she was never going to be.

Hey, hooked. Thanks for the dish. That might be a photo from November 2006 when Tracy ran into her into the hospital, then hurried beyond everyone's view and leaned up against the wall. She was wearing a long red jacket then, too.

TL, love the pics. Triplets...LOL

Just caught the last minute or so, but... Tracy was on today! Haven't had a chance to watch yet (recorded it), but she was there. Got a reaction shot at the very end as she spun around and left the courtroom, obviously not pleased with the verdict. Hair is certainly growing.

Thanks for the spoilers, hooked! Guess we'll find out tomorrow. Seems impossible that Tracy wouldn't be there, but maybe not if she's worried about Lulu. Wouldn't it be nice to see Lulu appreciate her for a change.

I guess that would be me. I'm thinking since the ptbs seem to like Epiphany, maybe some Edward/Epiphany interaction would result in Tracy getting involved. This is how desperate I am for a Tracy story...

What happened to SON? There isn't a link to the boards from the main page. Anyway, just read on SOC that the verdict is reached tomorrow. So, it's almost guaranteed Tracy. I hope she at least gets some reaction shots. Either way, looks like Tracy Tuesday! *hey, Funny!*

Thank you, halee! I'm so glad you're doing that. I've posted a few times, but will keep it bumped so maybe we'll get even more response. So far, so good! So many Jane/Tracy fans! I'm glad someone introduced the ageist/sexist angle since that is really something we could use to get something done. As Funny pointed out, it's particularly evident on GH.

Hooked, I've been thinking of you. Stay safe. I know how scary it is.

There is no way that Tracy would "conspire" with Scott. Tracy finding out that the wig was lucid, but not telling anyone, is **completely** different from this. She could find out, struggle with her conscience/Alan, and eventually come clean or not. Tracy loves Luke and Lulu, but, as she said, she isn't the long-suffering type. Luke has been gone for months with apparently no word to Tracy. Lulu treats her like crap. So, I don't think it would be out of character at all for her to withhold what she knows/think she knows about laura. This is not tantamount to holding anything over Lulu's head. Lulu will think/say what she wants without regard to Tracy. That much is certain.

Sounds like a productive phone call, hooked! Not sure anyone will get through on that number again after the Liaison fans get through, though! I doubt that most will be as polite and cogent as I'm sure you were. (That opinion is based on what I've read from them on SD... ) And thanks for passing along the ratings. Still no bump from the ewcbo? Not even a teeny, weeny one? Wow. All that PR and nothing. Maybe they should have listened to all the fans who were saying: Use the characters you already have, and stop with the "bring backs" of legends in their own minds. And I know where they can start. Ms. Courtroom Observer herself... Tracy!

And Lulu has *definitely* screwed her over enough! (Oh, and tangential, but...Why does Edward get a closeup of Lulu being called to testify and not Tracy who is her stepmother?!?!) Over the past couple of years, Tracy has been nothing but selfless in regard to Lulu which, really, is not the Tracy we know and love, while getting absolutely *zip* in return. Bottom line for me, though, is Tracy's place on the canvas and Jane's place on the show. This year has been horrendous with some of the hospital extras getting more airtime than Tracy. GF has gotten more airtime in the past few days than Jane has all summer. And who knows what will happen in October, or a few months down the road?
