The Tracy Quartermaine Lovefest

[knh]

I agree. If they write it how it should be I don't think it's seen an end yet. Ps JI died today. Didn't real far enough ahead to see if anyone said it yet so I thought I'd let you all know

[nex4evr]

knh, you beat me to it, I just saw on Twitter that John died last night. I guess last weeks was in fact the last we would ever see Edward Quartermaine!

Thought I would share this too.....

From his daughter in reference to his final day on set:

As our Dad moves closer and closer to joining our Mom, I thought I would share a bit of much needed "happiness" for the Ingle clan. For those of you that have followed Dad as "Edward Quartermaine" on General Hospital for all these years, I

wanted to let you know that Dad was able to return to the set on August 24th, for what will undoubtedly be his last performance on the show. His scene was small and he had very few words.... but his presence on the set was monumental. Beginning with a standing ovation by the entire cast and crew as we entered the set, to the line of people waiting to hug and wish him well, it was a day that he (and we) will remember forever. Several months ago, Dad had said that " if he only had one more day on the set of General Hospital, he would feel like he had won".... On that Friday, with the help of one of his caregivers (Anthony), a wheelchair van and 2 of his daughters, (myself and Chrissy), that goal was realized. Entering the set of GH was emotional for Dad and it was obvious why he has loved being there all these years. Chrissy and I joked and said it was the ONLY "Hospital" we have enjoyed visiting since January! Ha! The filming did not take that long and Dad did a good job. The cast and crew were patient and worked with Dad to get a scene that was meaningful. Standing there watching the monitor, we were struck by the reality that it was not Edward Quartermaine who was on the set....it was Dad surrounded by people who love and care about him. It was truly a wonderful afternoon. None of us know what tomorrow holds, but today we will hang onto the memory of August 24th and the love and support that was shown for our Dad. For anyone who might want to see the show, it is being aired tomorrow (September 11th), on ABC at 1:00 p.m. (PST). This is a new time slot for GH, for those of you who watch the show. The producers said it was September 11th, but then we heard that it may be a two-part episode. Might want to set your tivos for both days just to be sure. Last but not least,"Thank You" again to all of our family and friends for your love, prayers and support over these past few months. We truly CAN feel it:-)

i'm shocked and touched by the news of john ingles death. he was one of my all time GH favorite. he was simply great. everytime he was on screen. my thoughts are with his family and friends.

[Mr. Vixen]

Edward's final words were "I love you" to Tracy. What a nice, touching ending to that arc. So much of their history has been the issues between them. What a great way to come full circle.

[remos]

<p>^^^ That's such a beautiful way to look at it, Baby Boy. You're right, Tracy will have that to hold on to when Edward dies.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>This is sad, but also a celebration. John Ingles had a life well lived, and now he knows no more pain or loneliness. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>I imagine Edward's death and funeral will be closer to Christmas once they have it all worked out.</p>

I have heard that there are a LOT of actors who have expressed interest in coming back to pay tribute to Mr. Ingle. I hope they are all able to. He deserves it.

For those who haven't heard, Sean Kanan (the original AJ) is returning to GH. No word yet on whether or not he will be playing AJ.

[partyperson25]

More true than ever I used to watch for all the angst,Carly,Sonny,Jason,Sam,Domonic/Dante,those ppl,than LuNacy grew onto me and I could never let go there would be no point in watching see they're already letting SB go along with MB,and LW for those gay OLTL posers

[partyperson25]

RIP John Ingle may gos bless you on your journey home =( Maybe this is the way to get LuNacy back together,Tracy is mortified by her father's death and Luke comferts her along with other but him mostly? I try my best to keep the faith in LuNacy

[remos]

I imagine there would be. John was a teacher before he was Edward, so there are a lot of Hollywood types who might even do day players just to say thank you and goodbye.

[Mr. Vixen]

Similar to what happened when Rosalind Cash (Mary Mae) passed.

^^ Hope so

[Ms. Quartermaine]

What sad news about John Ingle's passing. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

It was nice for GH to bring him back for one final episode, as he wanted, and it was such a heartwarming episode too. For the Emma part and especially for the Tracy part...Back in the 70s, she withheld his medicine, and this time, she stole it, so he could have it. Talk about coming around full circle. Plus, Tracy always fought for Daddy's love, and she finally got to hear those words. I don't know if he ever said that to her before.

As for Sean Kanan's return - I hope he plays AJ. Would be good to build up the Q's again. Could you imagine??? For years, we thought the family would never see the light of day again, and in recent weeks, Monica and especially Tracy have been getting a chance to shine!

I do not like the rumors about SK playing Jason, and I don't really see GH doing that since they are leaving the door open for a SBu return... Though, if they did have SK play Jason, talk about giving the finger to SBu (and Guza's team).

Finally, don't see the point of bringing on a new character with a former actor. Thoughts of SBr as Claudia come to mind.

Time will tell I suppose.

As for today's episode, I felt so bad for Tracy when she found out the truth. Finally, a man who likes her for HER, and she finds out he's a rapist, and possibly a murderer. Dang. What was up with Sonny being all protective of Tracy though??? "I don't feel comfortable leaving you with this scum" or whatever he said. I actually thought it was kind of a nice thing to say, but I'm glad Tracy kicked him out. She can handle Joe on her own.

why did you use the word gay in that derogatory way? that upsets me.
