GH: The Spencer Family History


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know the full Spencer family story? How are Luke and Bobbie related to the Eckerts, did Ruby have kids and are their parents named Tim and Lena? I read it somewhere. I am working on a fanfiction, so any information would be greatly appreciated :)

Tim and Lena Spencer are Luke and Bobbie's parents. Lena is dead, Tim's whereabouts are unknown, and he was a deadbeat in the few years Luke and Bobbie remember him. Believe they struck out on their own in their early teens right after Lena's death (I want to say she drank herself to death or fell ill... she wasn't murdered or battered to death).

The Eckerts were distant cousins, not a direct branch from a sibling of Tim or Lena, from what I remember. Not sure the actual link was established on-screen, but more of an afterthought response to why Luke and Bill looked so much alike when Luke and Bobbie's immediate family history had been so clearly established before.

Ruby had no (known) children. To my knowledge, Ruby was not a biological relation to Luke or Bobbie, but they came to consider her an Aunt. From what I recall, Ruby was the madam that Bobbie worked for while she was a prostitute.

The Eckerts have a much clearer family tree, and it pretty much all played out on screen.

Fred Eckert and Angela (Moscini?) Eckert produced William "Bill" and Jennifer "Jenny" Eckert. Bill married Nancy (who took the name Eckert, not sure of her maiden name) and they produced Sylvester "Sly" Eckert. Jenny ended up with Paul and gave birth to a child (in 1996), but I'm not sure of the sex or name.

    • I did not recall how contentious the interview turned out to be until I read.  In retrospect, good on both of them for allowing it to be published, it is remarkable to read this type of honesty in a soap magazine. http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/chat85.html
    • Today's show was boring, which means it will score high in the ratings.

    • Leslie feels betrayed by Eva for choosing Ted and Nicole, with her actions at the party calling her crazy and trying to stop Leslie from exposing Ted.
    • I kinda think that's the point, Leslie isn't logical; she is very unhinged. She's probably mad at Eva turning on her in front of the Duprees. They need each other but I do want to see Eva form a family unit away from Leslie.
    • IDA. I felt this was his best episode and the actor sold it for me especially bc Martin has been so stoic and not very expressive with his emotions. The actor's weakness actually became a strength here bc I felt he really came alive and I bought his rage towards Leslie and later and later vulnerability he exposed to Smitty. He's growing and while I had reservations at first, I think they should keep him. He's done well with this reveal
    • The soapy convention that amused me today was the amount of stuff that soap characters get done on their way to work. I drink a glass of iced coffee, take a handful of pills, read @AbcNbc247 morning summary, and I am out the door.  Marlena got on a full beat of makeup, and her Monday blazer.  Then she visited with Johnny at the Salem Inn, EJ at the mansion, and checked in with Cat, all before reading her emails.  It is just remarkable how much people can do when they never have to go to the bathroom! Marlena's vibe with Cat was weird, considering she hired Cat as an assistant.  She seemed a little suss today. Meanwhile, with all of these new interactions, I want a scene between Chad and Marlena when they discuss blazers.  I think Chad's more unconstructed, knit jackets would suit Marlena (no pun intended).

      MTV's Floribama Shore Kirk Medias is dead at 33 years old. 
    • Of course, sexy silver fox Dr. Jeffrey Russell has to be in cahoots with EJ so that Kayla's morals don't look selfish and skewed when she is completely in the wrong in letting Steve accidentally on purpose look at the important hospital files. Anyone find it funny that a handful of characters slurred their words today?  I can't quite explain it, but sometimes, like today, I feel like Deidre Hall plays scenes too light or passive, for lack of a better word. She's definitely more known as a charismatic personality than powerhouse actress compared to her soap diva counterparts from other soaps, but I just wish she could give me more. I did, however, like that her scenes with EJ got a 'to be continued...' about Belle. Maybe then I'll see more of what I want from her. Have Shawn and Johnny literally ever had a scene together before today? If they start having Sarah in a scene where she connects with literally any other Horton, then I'll be really impressed.  I'm glad they went through the trouble of explaining why EJ bid on Cat. It made enough sense, and I laughed when Chad spit out his asking about it as soon as humanly possible.
