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.

    • Yeah, I thought it would be more explosive or heated and it was kind of standard.  Both can do more with the material.  I just don't think the writing was there.
    • Daphnée and TMG are on Instagram live (as we speak) and are saying they don’t know why Maurice left.
    • Anita let SilkPress know what time it was!
    • Kat vs. Eva and Anita vs. Leslie were today's highlights.
    • TBF, the majority of Month 2 was them beefing up all the side-stories...mind you Duprees as well as non-Duprees...and it did not seem like people were taking to it as well as they were taking to stories in Month 1. If anything I feel (hope) that May Sweeps is going to shift...while dealing with the aftermath of the Nicole/SilkPress storyline...to the next big story aka Martin's Secret. But that's me hoping that Martin's meltdown over SilkPress jiggles some memories of his out...which I was already hoping would happen. Add on that Bill is involved in both stories now...that might be his way of being sure nothing happens to him now in light of SilkPress's antics.    And...same. I feel they did a better job than expected with Vanessa/Doug with me because I didn't even realize how invested I was until their talk at the hospital and Doug made that subtly blunt comment about their arrangement...making the various online discussions online real. And for me, relevant. 
    • Michael Logan is being disingenuous. He knows who's to blame in these situations. Not only does he know how daytime works, but he also wrote about all the BTS shenanigans at the P&G soaps leading up to the Justine story. I will give Victoria Wyndham this: she went all out in the performance. She didn't half ass the performance. Let's also not forget that it was Michael Logan who was publicly calling for the firing of JFP when she on GL but says nothing about that in this interview or in the articles. My guess is that someone at AW didn't like Wyndham and was giving Logan the gossip and he was writing his column with that tea.
    • Basic script work; if it hadn't been for Jane Elliot and Rena Sofer, it could've been for any random character.
    • Because you are posting these things like they are true facts.  And they aren't. But whatever, Donna, you will just keep doing you.   Most people actually are trying to talk about GH in this thread.  Not random twitter/facebook/internet rumors you bring here.  I am just wasting my time even responding.    
    • This is a common theme with long running actors and preposterous storylines. Firstly they may relish the chance to play something different after years as that character-Ok I have an evil twin, possessed by the devil etc-at least it's something new to play. Secondly, no matter how dumb the plot it keeps them frontburner and valued to the show and the audience. Better than being a talk to. Thirdly, as VW stated in the end they don't have the power to dictate story and too much complaining can backfire and set them up in a negative light. Not a good position to be in with your employers. So they just buckle up and give it their all or act out the script till it's over.
    • Your use of the word "apparently" would need to include a source. Just your use of the word doesn't make it true or valid. Where would you get the idea that something has happened if you hadn't already received an indication from somewhere else, specifically a valid source (including Tabyana herself)? By using the word "apparently," you are implying this was mentioned somewhere, either in a publication or similar.
