Hey the way you watch now is the way I've watched ever since JE came back.

I don't think I've watched a whole show without FFw'd some of it for many,many years.

:lol:

spoiler talk:

I'm thinking more along the lines of a "blind" auction...where the bidder bids on a number or on a meal,for example...not knowing who the number is,or if it's a meal,not knowing who prepared it. You know,the kind where the bidder has a date with the person who cooked the meal.

My guess is it's the "number"thing,because even to make Skye or Luke jealous,I can't see Tracy bidding on Lorenzo,not without some other reason.

If this spoiler doesn't come to pass...I have no idea when it's supposed to happen...then it would make a great one for the fake spoiler fics.

Just sayin'. :)

spoiler talk over

*please let Tracy be on today*

I was thinking the same thing about the ficathon. And I always use the fast forward button watching TV. This is the first time I've gotten to the point where the entire episode is viewed on FF until my favorite character comes on.....

And, yeah, *please let Tracy be on today* I really don't like any of those other people anymore.....

*I'm missing Ms.Q posting so much.

:(

About the "rest of those people...LOL.

Tracy makes me like Luke,and truthfully I never really paid much attention to him before.

I always thought,and still do,that he is woefully overrated.

But I like them together. Nice balance of ego there.

Meaning I think TG has it,JE if she has it,hides it well.

I love and will continue to love most of the Q's.

But I know what you mean. I REALLY know what you mean.

I'm not a GH fan,and never really have been,honestly. But I do love my Trace. :)

Okay...4XCrazy, for you (if you haven't yet acquired it elsewhere somehow...), the clip of Tracy comforting Alan before AJ's funeral.

Warning: This comes from www.amodernfairytale.com. They don't like or really allow people to distribute their clips to others not on the messageboards...so you didn't get it from me. (Or, you know, you could sign up...whatever...mum's the word, you don't know me, etc)

And now that I've gotten clip access back, bring on the Tracy!!!!

That's the stupidest idea I've ever heard. I remember the last time there was a bachelor auction on GH. That was back when we had ACTUAL bachelors that were worth bidding on. Now? Mobster. Mobster. Hitman. Jax (okay, millionaire, good), Patrick (good) Nikolas (Prince boring as all get out), ooh...they could dust off Justus, and Nedley... But, ummm...other than that...pretty slim pickings, unless you also include the just barely not jailbait set. I don't know that there's a way they could do this that wouldn't be...well, stupid. Even the bid on a dish, or like date itself...just...utter stupidity. I am not happy. Nor am I happy that of all people Tracy ends up with Alcasnore. What a thrilling game of backgammon they'll have on their date...oh, and you know it will mean more Skye and Luke crap. Joy oh freaking joy.

Wait, positivity....Tracy....Tracy....Jane will make everything alright....yesssss......

Oh, and when is this birthday stuff happening? I want to see how close Tracy's birthday is to mine! If it's the same day, I will never hear the end of it...but Tracy would make a perfect Aries, even if we know that she's really supposed to be a Leo (she'd also make a good Leo...but a better Aries I think).

OOoh thanks smirks,I have that eppy on tape but I'll watch the clip when I get a chance.

About the spoilers...yeah,stupid maybe,but I like the TK/JE vibe,and always have.

I personally think JE sparks better with both TK AND TG,than RC does. Maybe it's because she's known both of them sooo much longer.

I don't know.

Anyway...here's to Tracy today. *pretty please*

Re: Tracy's astrological sign. I read somewhere that she said she was a Leo in an episode. However, with the timing of the spoiler, she'd have to be an Aries or a Taurus. That doesn't mean she can't have massive Leo influences in her chart. My girlfriend is a Taurus with Leo moon and Leo rising, and her personality is MUCH more Leo than Taurus.

Actually, I see TQ as Aries/Leo/Leo as well as Taurus/Leo/Leo, but I lean more towards Taurus/Leo/Leo. She cares too much about family, about business, about material things, about loyalty (especially family loyalty) not to have a dominant Taurean influence. Granted, the other signs care about these things, but Taureans take them personally.

I could mock up a chart for her with Taurus/Leo/Leo and see how it works, if anybody is interested.

Nah we don't need a chart...we know who our girl is. :)

It was me that said it was once mentioned years ago that she was born in the summer,not in April.

But whatever,LOL...I don't pay attention to astrological signs anyway,so it matters not to me at all.

I'm just glad they are using her birthday as an excuse for some Luke/Tracy stuff.

:)

She was on today,not with Luke but with the family confronting Emily.

Hey,at least she was on,right?

Smirks, I snagged that clip of the Qs discussing AJ and watched it yesterday. Wow! JE reminds me of Cassie from A Chorus Line--heads and tails above the rest of the dancers, and still plugging away at her two-line scenes like a trooper.

A request to all members--a few weeks back, I had to reformat my hard drive due to a virus, and I lost all my Tracy vids. I definitely want to replace Shazzer's Won't U Please B Nice? and Ms. Q's State of Grace (Full of Grace?) video, if anyone can help. But since I'm asking--does anybody have any recs of good Tracy vids, clips of important/funny/poignant scenes, etc. they can share? I want to put together a CD (for my personal use) of Tracy clips, and I figured this would be the place to ask.

As for yesterday's Tracy appearance--my MIL was like, she's not on today's episode. Blink, ya miss her, huh? Cassie...the woman's totally a Cassie. (Tracy, otoh, is a definite Sheila.....LOL at my own joke...)

MinervaFan...

I uploaded Mrs Q's Full of Grace (the song is Full of Grace...very big Sarah McLachlan fan) here,

and Shazzer's Won't U Please B Nice here

Also of note, daily clips are up again at GHVT's original site here, for anyone like me who can't get their Tracy fix via normal television.

I have lots of Tracy and Q clips archived...so I'm not sure what you'd want...I don't know of any other TRACY specific videos. I know of a few general Quartermaine videos, but nothing Tracy specific (at least until I get my computer fixed...then watch out!)

All references to 'A Chorus Line' soared far over my head since I haven't seen that movie in well over a decade...BUT, I certainly hope that you don't mean that JE far outshone the rest of the Q's in the pre-funeral huddle scene, because Stuart Damon totally knocked that scene out of the ballpark, and the rest of the Q's minus (not!Lois), did a good job as well.

WTH was with the Q scenes yesterday!?!? What the hell was even the point of having a Q scene if the writers were going to give all the lines to Nik and Alice...is it the Nik and Alice mansion now?!?! Big Alice is starting to tick me off a bit with her insubordination. She's lucky she's not standing in the unemployment line. And she manhandled my Nedley (aside: EEEEEEEEEEEE!!! NEDLEY!!!! And spot on with Emily too...still hasn't congratulated the brother on the marriage though....ahem...only for Emily...).

I taped but haven't watched yet.

So....like I thought,guess I shouldn't blink when I do watch,huh?

LOL

AH,my girl.

Sadly I thought again about how TIIC don't value her.

I about fell over in shock when she and TG got part of SOW's cover when they married.

That will probably be the only time JE ever gets a part of a cover again.

:(

I guess we just have to take the scraps we're given and hope it gets better. I do always enjoy her. :)

*me,trying to be optimistic again.* LOL

To be perfectly honest, I thought Stuart Damon was okay in that scene. He, like most soap actors, doesn't know the meaning of the word "understated," which is probably why I love JE/TQ so much. I'm not comfortable with over-the-top emotions, so I like how she tends to underplay it. But, of course, YMMV.

NEDDDDD!!!! Omigosh, I must see that tape! Hugs thoughts of Ned!

See most people that dislike the character of Tracy,and even some that love her,would say that TQ/JE is sometimes very OTT.

I think JE has a tendency to yell when she shouldn't,she's far from perfect,but she's also excellent at subtext too...I get the most out of those wordless moments when Tracy will just LOOK at someone else,and a world of emotions are fighting to come out,you can see it on her face.

But as far as being OTT,Tracy is an OTT character,like Luke...larger than life,so I kinda cut her slack in that department because there are a lot of things Tracy says and does,that you just CAN'T do low key,you'd look stupid if you did.

    • Dear God in Heaven (/KatherineChancellor), maybe blazer is the wrong word - I’m just saying André needs to wear baggy clothes or larger sizes cause he’s a short king and the sizes they’ve chosen for him make him look smaller and shorter than necessary

    • Sorry, there must have been a error, while creating the file. I redone it and it has audio
    • Tamara Tunie was on a local CBS affiliate in Baltimore the other day talking about a few things she had going on, BTG amongst them: "Beyond the Gates" star Tamara Tunie is in Baltimore for the Reginald F. Lewis Museum's 20th anniversary
    • Kobe/Long had their own template and pretty much gutted the cast. As soon as contracts were up established characters were dropped. They needed to free the budget for the new characters. Going back to Ann,I wonder why the Dobsons renewed her contract around 78? After her initial story she became supporting and they didn't seem to want to pursue a romance with Mike. Maybe the feedback was that viewers blamed her indirectly for Leslie's death. If Mike hadn't taken on her case etc. Did she decide not to disrupt her son's life? Seems odd after everything she didn't claim him back. 1976 continues... Joe Werner is just not bouncing back after his recovery as he should, and Sarah, concerned about his sometimes morbid-seeming depression, consults Justin Marler. They agree that Joe is becoming a “cardiac cripple,” and know this kind of overcompensation for illness and overprecaution can not only be a permanently depressed condition but can actually cause a setback for him physically.  Marler releases Joe into Sarah’s care, but it’s soon apparent that just being out of the hospital hasn’t done anything to boost Joe’s spirits about his return to a normal existence. Marler finally lays it out to Joe—the choice has to be his. He can choose to lead a normal, productive life as a doctor and as a husband to the best wife he could have, or he can choose to become an invalid and live on the outside looking in for the rest of his days, sentencing Sarah to the same fate. Realizing the selfishness of what he’s doing to —Sarah as well as the narrowness of the confinement he’s set for himself, Joe begins to see his preoccupation with his illness as the self-pity it really is and decides he’s ready to return to the hospital for a one hour shift each day. Sarah is overjoyed by his turnabout, but full happiness is hers on the day she overhears Joe telling a fearful patient that the world is beautiful and worth any. effort to get back into it. Steve and Adam are thrilled to learn that Cedars has been the recipient of the Levy Grant for expansion of hospital property. But they have learned, as they report to Ed, that the land they were hoping to build the new research facility on, the land immediately adjacent to the hospital, has been purchased by Dr. Justin Marler. Both Adam and Steve feel that Justin is expanding a power base at Cedars and the land purchase is just one more block in Justin’s power play. When Ed asks Marler why he purchased this particular parcel of land, Marler explains that he bought it with the express intention of someday building his own offices and facilities convenient to the major facilities of Cedars. When the subject of the hospital’s needing the land arises, Marler meets with Adam, and they agree that he should realize a fair profit from his property and that an unbiased assessor should be engaged to evaluate the market value of the land so they can agree on a selling price. When Sarah comments on the fact that Marler is to realize a profit on the land, he bitterly replies that no matter what he’s done since coming to Cedars to prove that he has changed. since she last knew him, she refuses to see him as anything but what he was all those years ago. Sarah insists this isn’t true. But Marler then calls Adam for a meeting and informs him that the land is not for sale at any price. As Adam begins to grow alarmed, Marler continues that the site for the new building will be his personal donation to the hospital. As Adam expresses profuse thanks and appreciation, Marler wryly notes that the tax deductions he’ll realize on this contribution to a charitable institution will benefit himself almost as much as Cedars. When Steve Jackson learns that Marler is to be elected head of the research wing that will be built on his property, he expresses the conviction that this was the exact intention of the gift. Adam, however, assures Steve that the donation wasn’t a factor in the hospital  board’s decision, they were concerned only with Dr. Marler’s reputation as a doctor. | After lengthy consultations and meetings. with the hospital  staff, Ed assured by the head nurse that her nurses performed commendably despite the added pressure of the train wreck, presents his findings to the hospital review board. Steve arrives at two possible explanations for the facts. Either Grainger, more active than usual due to the previously delayed medication, reached for the writing pad and inadvertently disconnected the breathing tubes, or he was in a state of extreme upset because of the delayed medication and.in the excitement a surge of adrenalin within his system caused his brain aneurism to start hemorrhaging. " Upon learning that the review board has ruled out negligence in Grainger’s death, Ed tells Rita, who takes her first free breath in a long time. But Ed hasn’t thought to tell Rita that he’s been in touch with Grainger’s attorney, Mr. Schafer, who, knowing that a woman was at the base of Grainger’s investigation, is coming to Springfield to try to find out who the woman - was who walked out on Grainger when he collapsed —in the restaurant. Peggy, learning that Rita’s “forgetting” to deliver Holly’s message was instrumental in their divorce ‘being finalized, tells Ed that Holly wanted to reach him to stop the divorce. Immediately after, Peggy is torn by doubts, wondering if she did the right thing.She confides in Barbara, who then discusses the situation with Ed. He tells her he and Holly have discovered a new closeness now that they are building their separate lives. Barbara quickly contradicts him: Holly is not building a new life. Barbara gently cautions Ed, saying, “People change, feelings change, and what seems right now may not be right a year from now. No decision is irrevocable.” Ed agrees with this. Now that Ben has declared his love for her, Hope finds herself apprehensive, fearing that she might be making a mistake, as she did a few years ago, when she was sure she was in love with her college professor. Explaining that she doesn’t want to make another mistake, she asks Ben to be patient, and he agrees. When Mike expresses his disapproval of Ben’s overstated independence, his need to be beholden to no one, Hope quickly jumps to Ben’s defense, and Mike apologizes. But Ben, surprisingly, accepts Mike’s assessment as constructive criticism. Later Hope, examining her feelings and desires, tells Ben she does love him and wants to belong to him. Later that evening, after they’ve made love, Ben asks Hope to marry him.And, delighted, she replies that she will. At Hope’s instigation, Bert has a family dinner to which Ben is invited, and Hope announces their intention to marry over glasses of wine. Mike politely offers best wishes while Bert thrills the couple with her offer to' make a Christmas wedding for them. Bert later tells Mike he must accept this engagement with good spirits for Hope, and later, seeing the joy she’s feeling, he gives his daughter his approval. But Ben finds another problem on his very own doorstep: his brother Jerry, who announces he’s left home after several bad fights with their parents. He refuses to tell Ben what they were fighting about. As Ben is showering, Jerry borrows his car and goes out for an hour. The phone rings, but Ben can’t hear it. Shortly after, two uniformed officers visit Mike at home to tell him that his late wife’s car has been involved in a delicatessen robbery earlier in the evening. Since Ben bought Leslie’s car, Mike accompanies the officers to Ben’s apartment. Ben curtly informs the police that he had nothing to do with the robbery and makes it clear that he feels they wouldn’t be there if he didn’t have a record and that his exoneration doesn’t prevent his being hassled like any ex-con,as they tell him he has to go to the police station for questioning. Hope tells Ben she called him earlier, and when he replies that he must have been in the shower, she accepts his word unhesitatingly.Jerry finally returns to Ben’s place and under questioning from Ben admits that he robbed the store,explaining that he has debts. Ben is now in a quandary,as he feels he must protect his brother but doesn’t want to be unfair to Hope. He tries to ease the situation by withdrawing $185 from the joint checking account he opened with Hope and repaying the delicatessen owner. He then sends Jerry out of town to stay with a friend. His relief at having solved the problem is short-lived, however, when Mike informs him that, despite the reparations, the robbery was a felony and the police will continue to investigate. Hope is badly upset to learn while making a deposit that Ben withdrew’a sum which Mike tells her is equal to the amount stolen. This shakes her belief that he _was really home when she called, and she goes to him, asking for an answer to put her mind at rest. Ben can’t betray Jerry and asks Hope to trust him, promising she will have the whole story eventually. But Hope can’t accept this; she needs complete honesty and openness in her relationship and without it cannot goon. She painfully tells her father that the wedding is off despite her love for Ben, and tells Bert to stop preparations. Mike goes to Ben, reminding him that half the money in the account is Hope’s and she has the right to an answer. But Ben won’t say any more and refuses Mike’s offer to represent him legally, again stating that he doesn’t need a lawyer, because he’s done nothing wrong.
