*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!!!!

I've always loved Johnny and Tracy. If she was every going to go for a real boy-toy, that would be my choice for her.

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.

Today was cute. Nothing big, just family interactions at the HS. Teasing Mayan about their marriage, a little light LuNacy banter. Ma and Pa worried about Lulu setting herself up for a fall with Dante. Nice inclusion of Johnny.

Funny line - when Dante walked in Tracy referred to him as the spawn of Sonny. Johnny turns to Tracy and responds "Spawn of Sonny? I think I love you."

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.

My fav of all of the City was when Tracy hired the fake Q family to her engagement party.

part two

GTQ you are too . And speaking of Sonny's office. Isn't that Luke's office as well on the Haunted Star?

And about Tracy engagement rings: You know she will make sure they are real and that Luke didn't use her money.

I wonder if all her yammering about Luke getting a pre-nup will end with her tearing them up. She knows she likes when he steals her money. It's a cat-n-mouse game with them. Like Edward said before, they are turned on by the games.

And all their talk about LuNacy marrying on Laura's birthday. Lucky and Lulu act like Laura is dead and nothing can happen on that day. GMAB.

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.

Please oh please oh please make that ring real…. please…..

+1

SO someone dropped yesterday that the Balkan has a surprising connection in PC. Someone guessed Edward, and they said, "Well yes but more directly Tracy"

Ms Q does that remind you of the "jerry gives tracy 10 million anonymously" spoiler? Or Uncle Rudy has a surprising connection in PC--Tracy?

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.

Hey GTQ good to know you are still around. Hope your eyes are doing well.

I think that is exactly what will happen when genie returns, they will have some snag that somehow it will be rewritten that the minister who married luke/laura in 08 was not a fake after all. They did that storyline years ago with Deception when Laura ran into a legal snag because she was still married to luke...I vaguely remember it and it is just like Guza to recycle.

It would be the soapy thing to do...right as luke/tracy are finally legally married and tracy makes him go through hoops (which is what is going to happen and then luke is going to run but ends up coming back on his own volation after deciding what is really importnant to him and show up at the last minute), then laura shows up with complications.

Tracy today...at least you know her face walking in on mayan sex will be great as well as the certain snarky remark!

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.

LOL! Unless Laura has managed to amass a fortune while in the institute in Paris, I don't think she would be Ashton's speed. But I'm all for entertaining any fantasy of bringing Ashton back, so I'm game.

Nice to *see* you GTQ!

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.

Well TG loves her, the directors appreciate and respect her. I'd imagine TG's would be better.

DG NOT winning was the best part of the show IMO (although the Cirq. de Sol carb was impressive - even if misplaced). That guy is following in the well trod footsteps of GF and TR, whining in the press and using it for their own personal platform. From just watching them I can understand why GH doesn't want any of them back. SJB got her fingers wrapped for the same stunt but seems to have learned her lesson.

Love your ideas re: Betty White. Although I'd love to see her as a potential woman-friend for Edward. THEN we'd see Tracy's claws come out. I would pay admission to see Betty White and Jane Elliot going toe-to-toe. Or maybe the sister is a good idea..... she could come with juicy family secrets. Or how about Edward's Sister-in-Law who knows more than she should.... the possibilities are endless.....

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.

I hope I don't have Luke and Tracy withdrawals like I always do. Oh, who wam I kidding, I will. When are they on next? Tues?

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.

^^ DS has an interview to herself in the latest SOW, so that bodes well for her continued presence in Port Chuck. I love LuClaire. In fact the entire Spencermaine forecasted pairings work for me.

LuNacy

Lante

Ethina

LuClaire

Bronny (or whatever is settled on for Johnny/Brook)

As I've said in the past, I'm a happy GH watcher at the moment. Lots of stuff happening for my ultimate enjoyment.

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.

so very true. Imagine if this level of writing was given to that Greek God????? Wowza. Luke would certainly look less appealing in comparison.

But I digress.... we have what we have. I also hope Tracy is the one to put Bubbie in Lucky's arms eventually - but not before LuClaire take off (love them!!!). The fact that Trace is the one who knows most of the facts is fabulous IMO because she alone has the power to undermine Helena completely in this arena. Arguably Tracy is too distracted with other things at the minute, but I'm waiting to see what her face looks like when Liz has the baby, Lucky is on the outside and Helena tries to steal the little gaffer. I just hope that JE's vacation is not another kidnapping by Helena - the timing would be about right.

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.

I love that.... and I've found that many feel Lila was NOT the mother of the year by any stretch of the imagination. You're right - if would make sense since Edward has never treated Tracy as though she was his full-blood daughter. The only thing that would be a stickler for me is age - there isn't that much of an age difference between Hellzabub and Tracy - with Liz Taylor yes, but not CT.

TG and JE would play the hell out of it, and you're right - Guza could do that really well. Can you imagine Tracy's identity crisis???? Wowza... HUGE!!! Tracy as a cross between Helena and Lila...... two women who shaped Luke as well.

As for the marriage, I'm thinking Luke THINKS it's not perfectly legal but we might be surprised again in the long run. Doesn't matter either way to me though.... they couldn't be more solidly 'united' if they tried.

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.

The quote stuff wasn't working for me the other day either - kept sending me to another site if you believe it.

GV and JE had wicked chemistry and I could seriously have gone for Naughty Trucky a few times. JJ and JE have a different sort - almost mother/son, and Lucky is very respectful of her. I'm hoping we get some real Trucky coming up and not just having them in the same scene. JJ is also experienced enough to know who brings the goods, and I believe he's loving the opportunity to work with her. I just hope Guza et al see that potential too. While Luke is gone this summer it would be a perfect time for the Spencermaine Jrs. to keep reminding Tracy what she has, what she thinks she threw away and what she really wants. I really like the idea of the three kids campaigning for their father in his absence.

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.

Oh, it was fabulous. I've always wanted to but was concerned about claustrophobia issues - not a problem at all. It all seemed so natural - breathing through the mouthpiece underwater was easy while practicing above water felt forced. My sinus issues concern me a bit, but I've got a specialist to work with that so one of these days that will hopefully be fine too.

Speaking of eyes - how are yours? You've had issues too, as I recall.

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.
