GroovyTracyQ

*waving to Funny, Ms. Quartermaine, and TracyQ* I didn't think anything would be worth undoing five years of LuNacy marriage, but *this* was! Tracy is now *officially* Mrs. Spanky Spencer...Thank you, Mr. Robert Guza, Jr.! *Loved* the TraLu toast...Best mother/daughter on soaps...EVER!!!!

Real boy-toy for sure...more of a man-toy actually. Reading those spoilers about his involvement with Lisa's story has me a little nervous about his GH longevity. I really want him to stick around. The occasional Jacy scene is reason enough from my vantage point. His character has been mis-written and rewritten so many times, but BB has always made the best of it. And I *adore* him for his comments about preferring to work with the older set.

I think I love Johnny and Tracy. And I haven't even watched today. Their interactions are always good. That bit a few months ago, "I'll pick you up at 7!" was a *win*. If Luke doesn't get his ish together and keep it together, I vote for Johnny showing up at LuNacy's wedding and yelling, "Tracy!!!!" ala Dustin Hoffman in The Graduate.

Funny Girl! I'm hoping the ring is real. We know Tracy knows diamonds, and even if he wanted to, I don't see Luke trying to pass off a phony one especially since the writers have made it crystal clear that Luke and Tracy are the real deal. Lucky was pathetic today. "But I wanted you and Mom to stay married" (or some such drivel). What is he, twelve?? I like Siobhan, but as soon as they reveal her to be the mastermind behind the Balkan or a crazed murderess, they will predictably reunite him with Elizabeth. I just hope their little Firestarter, Cameron, chooses their house to torch next time and rids us of Lucky's immaturity, unnatural facial hair, and that dreary baby mama. (On a positive note, it's convenient, when all the characters you dislike share scenes so you can skip over them without missing anything. Quite a few of those ensembles on the show these days.) Disappointed in Lulu, too. Spoilers say Tracy asks her to be her maid of honor, but nothing about Lulu's answer. If she doesn't fully support, let her go to France to console her sainted mother. And stay there.

Twittering . . . Brianna Brown (Lisa) asked Nancy when she was going to get Jane on Twitter! Never, of course... Speaking of Brianna Brown, is there any hope that Robin really *is* the crazy one, and Lisa just has an unhealthy obsession with carrying around syringes? Can't stand St. Robin along with St. Elizabeth (along with St. Laura . . .) Shallow observation: They should cease and desist from any and all Vanessa Marcil closeups. Her cheekbones actually point downward. Anxiously awaiting her date of departure. EDIT: I **love** that top photograph of the Qs! Everyone looks genuinely happy to be there. (Actors and characters.) The Spencermaines are definitely the way to go if this show has a chance. And where is Kristina? I am getting a bad feeling with her MIA except for the WTH blink-if-you-missed it "resolution" to the Sonny almost kills Kristina, but it's okay because it's just because he loves her plot point. Also noticed they have removed her photograph from the credenza behind his desk.

+1

Thanks for the scoops, Hooked. They've been dropping the one about the Balkan-Tracy connection since Eisenhower was president! Man, this show is Land of the Missed Opportunities, isn't it? Can you imagine JE and Sebastian Roche in scenes together? That would be made of awesome seven ways to Sunday. And Roscoe Born would have been perfect as Uncle Rudy.

Maybe Laura will catch Tracy's bouquet and announce that Luke is still married to Laura...speaking of rewrites. Lucky for TG, he won't have to jump off a balcony this time. Oh, man. Just got a visual of him wrestling Laura to the ground, ala Luke and Scotty circa way back when, for ruining their wedding. That would be *serious* Pay Per View.

Hey there, Halee! Laura would be more like a speed *bump* on Ashton's way to Tracy. Just a pawn in his game to win back Rocky. Probably in the realm of the fantastical. No chance of getting a great-looking, really good older actor on contract, I'm sure. But maybe a "heavily recurring" role? That would work.

Thanks for all the spoilers, Hooked! The GF return speculation reminds me of an old rumor from the dish a year or two ago. It was part of a sing-song "medley" with lots of characters' upcoming stories spoiled. (Supposedly legit person as I recall.) Something about how Luke and Tracy say their vows and how that leads Luke to thoughts of Laura. Could be a coincidence, but I wonder if it's something that's been considered for awhile. Whatever...If Laura is returning, for any length of time, that's probably the only reason we're getting a real wedding with Tracy getting her due as a bride. I wonder if she's wanting to remarry, and that's the snafu or whatever that also affects Luke and Tracy. Totally wouldn't surprise me if they rewrote the 2006 sham wedding into a legal one the same way they wrote Luke and Tracy's real wedding in 2005 into a sham. Oh, and if Laura comes back to town with a fiance, I hope it's Ashton!

Loved TraLu today! Just posted in someone's thread for them at SOC. Don't think there's anyone who doesn't love TraLu. I guess Tracy will be showing up toward the middle of July since she's supposed to be the one (the only one, I think) who sees Helena with Elizabeth's baby. Then, there are the scenes with Brook that Adrienne Leon tweeted about. And Franco. So, looks like it's Random Tracy which is kind of cool. Anyway, I'm so glad that the writers presented TraLu as a mother/daughter team regardless of the worm that is known as Luke. Seriously unhappy with him right now.

Lila's sister! That has Betty White written all over it. Sweetness and light, sunshine and rainbows, butter wouldn't melt... But Tracy knows better. Then, it goes from sunshine to sarcasm. And I'm with you, I really would pay to see this. And I'll bet Betty White would be game. She was really nervous about the SNL gig which she nailed. Betty White on General Hospital: It's officially out there in the universe. So true about DG and GF. (Missed most of the TR drama. I know he's outspoken.) I can see why not only GH made, and continues to make, their decisions in that regard, but why *any* show would think twice about bringing either her into the fold. Can't see inviting a potential/probable logistical and PR nightmare.

So glad that *Betty White* won for Best Show. Seriously, you know that's the reason. I don't watch B&B, but from all the talk, her stint was one of the best in the show's history. Speaking of Betty White, wouldn't she be a trip as Edward's sister? Or maybe Helena's good but sometimes evil twin? She should definitely be the next guest on GH. I am so flipping happy that Drew Garrett did ****not**** win. What little I've read from him since his exit confirms, for me, that Phelps is not the big, bad witch that some portray her to be. I'm not a fan of people who feel entitled and lack gratitude; same goes for their fans. Anyway, bye bye, thanks for playing, and *next*! That was so cool about JE! That makes two shout-outs in three years, although I liked TG's a lot more.

That sounds right, Funny. Hooked posted the dates a couple of days or so ago for next week. Check back on her posts. And I believe Luke is supposed to be on with Lucky, Patrick, and Sonny the other days. I'm hoping that at least with Patrick and Lucky, there will be lots of LuNacy mentions (and hopefully some propping). I'm most looking forward to the Luke and Patrick scenes. That has the most potential for LuNacy-driven quality talk. They'll yammer on about Robin some, I'm sure, but Luke will get his turn.

Thanks, Remos. That does sound promising about Claire and LuClaire. And that list works for me. I didn't know about Bronny, but I'm glad. Brandon Barash is so impressive. It's amazing how much he's grown professionally since he began, and I *love* his comments about preferring to stay with the older actors. Obviously, Adrienne Leon doesn't fall into that category, but her "grandmother" does! And BB has said some wonderful things about JE including "she makes me smile." I just *love* him.

I'll preface this post by saying... Guess what I just did! Almost went scuba diving. I registered and all that gobbledy-gook. Then, there's the rub. My computer didn't have the system requirements for downloading the software. Oh, well. But there are lots of virtual scuba things to be had out there. Will have to find something else. Glad you gave me the idea. And I'll bet Ru, with her love of water and history, is/would be enthralled with all of the raising of the Titanic stories. It's mesmerizing. So, GH... I wouldn't mind another kidnapping if it served as a catalyst for Luke's return. Then, LuNacy as a team could rescue themselves. Oh, and I love Lucky and Claire. In the park...so darn cute!! Hope she isn't a casualty of Brenda's return like some are speculating. I like DS a lot more than I ever liked VM. The latter is another legend in whoever's mind who, in reality, is much less than the myth. And what about that baby she was looking/smiling at on the computer a couple of months ago? A story dropped or delayed, I guess. Hooked! Hope you're enjoying your vacation.

True about the age, but there are many parent/child pairings on soaps played by actors closer in age than JE and CT. I was curious and just checked. CT is 77 which makes her fourteen years older than JE. Much farther apart than JE and Jed Allen who was *younger* than Stuart Damon who played his son. Then, there's JE and WK who are ten years apart, and played lovers with a child between them on Days. Don't you love soaps? About the marriage: I agree on all counts. After those vows and Luke's "necessary legal documents" *and* the "fact" that it's a total rewrite, they're married. And they can't even attempt a rewrite of the fact that JE and TG have been paired professionally for this many years. But, yes, a surprise might be down the road. In fact, would it not be a hoot and a half if *Helena* made the marriage legal on paper? She's a green-eyed monster now, but back then, she might have seen it to her advantage for them to have all the legalities in place. It was her money in Tracy's account, and she might have perceived it to be more difficult to get it from Tracy than from Luke. (She would have been right.) And with nothing to hold over Tracy's head, namely the marriage, Luke would have lost his bargaining chip, namely their on-paper marriage. The possibilities are always out there.

Eureka! Found a workaround: Highlight, copy and paste into a new post and you get the quote. Anyway... GV and JE's wicked chemistry...You're not kidding! Wish they would bring him back as a long-lost Spencer. And one only related to Luke if you catch my drift. I appreciate JJ now (but wish he'd shave that godawful thing on his face that looks like a ringworm with hair), but GV possessed attributes not found in other Luckys.

One of these days I'm going to poke around the web and see if there is a virtual scuba diving thing to experience. Hardly like being there, and in the water, but just the visuals are so enthralling. Eyes are somewhat the same. The pressure-related thing is a lifetime deal. But the other is slowly but surely becoming manageable.

For some reason, the other reply options that allow quotes isn't working for me. So... Remos, I also highly doubt that Lucky would give Luke his blessing in abandoning Tracy. And since the best LuNacy stuff is rarely spoiled (vows, Wyndemere, you name it), I can see the possibility of a heart-to-talk LuNacy-centered talk, much like he had with Nikolas before he reverted to the Prince of Darkness. (Tracy is also once in a lifetime - that one.) Might not play out that way, just a wishful guess, but it's bound to be good. And he isn't leaving with anyone and is only leaving at all after Tracy took his/her/their money from him, threw him overboard, and had him arrested. But he still loves her. And I love the irony, too, that it's JJ's Lucky who appreciates LuNacy and Tracy. We know GV loved JE to death, but you could only do so much with the writing. And the writing painted GV's Lucky as a jacka$$ when it came to Tracy and LuNacy more times than not. As for JJ, I'm getting the sense in watching their scenes that he has come to truly appreciate JE and maybe even LuNacy. I really think he does.

And Remos... Scuba diving! How wonderful. I practically lived underwater when I was a child. Can't do it now because of the eye pressure component, but I would if I could.
