The saddest part of all?

Is that (spoiler for anyone who hasn't watched, recaps follow)

I predicted last night in the BR it would go almost exactly that way.

I predicted Lulu instead of Luke going to the Q's for Christmas ornaments, and the whole thing being over mid show and Tracy finding Luke at the HS because I really didn't think Luke would have the guts to go to the Q mansion, but I was wrong.

I was right enough though...that it makes me sad how well I know Guza by now.

ETA oh yeah and the "my WIFE" thing, I predicted that too. Scary, HUH??? *SIGH*

From some sites, no one was woo-hoo'ng Jane's performance, so I was thinking we got nothing.

Thank you Reg for letting me know otherwise.

Can't wait to watch tonight.

recap talk over

ok, I loved today's episode!!!!! I want to see what goes on tomorrow, but I loved everyting about today... except that I thought it would be a bit more of a breakdown with Edward. I know they tend to exagerate, but I thought it'd be a little more, though I do love what was there anyway. If they hadn't said anything about it at all I'd have thought it was fantastic.

Regency, you are being much too kind about today's episode. :P

Did Jane rock it? Absolutely. But I didn't not see any "breaking down." Misleading spoilers? Or things getting cut? Last minute changes? There was definitely no "collaspsing into anguish" or any of that. No hysterics. No crumbling. Nothing that the Emmy people would deem worthy enough for a nomination, let alone an actual award. Nice subtlety though.

And the "breaking down" took place outside. Never ever would I have guessed. I also didn't think the LuNacy scenes would take place outside either, so I guess GH gets some points for being creative with their use of sets. I thought for sure the Edward/Tracy scene would be in the mansion.

Dillon and Tracy scene is a nice surprise. Aww, he gives his mom his coat!!! Oh, but the editing is way off. It's cuts too soon or something. Anyone else think so? MinervaFan, Dillon approached Tracy, who's sitting on some stone wall on Q property and realizes, "You knew about Laura." There's about 2 lines inbetween, and she makes a comment how Luke's heart will always belong to Laura.

Tracy, Tracy, Tracy. You need better clothes. Seriously. These are the boathouse clothes, the outfit JE had on for SoapTalk. They look like pajamas. I had a feeling that she would be wearing this, LOL. Speaking of feelings, ILoveTracyQ, you're so right. You called the "wife" line, which brings me to...

The "lashing out" scene. Totally not what I expected. Did he hurt Tracy? Sure. But from the spoilers, I was expecting him to be a lot meaner about it. He definitely didn't rip her apart as he could have.

The apology? Eh. It was an "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that," kind of thing. Very brief. He did put his coat on Tracy (see * below). And it wasn't supposed to be funny, but I laughed at Tracy getting so upset that Luke was cutting down a pine tree from the Quatermaines. Tracy, it's only a tree.

* Oh, Luke? I don't think you were standing far enough away from Tracy. [/sarcasm] Goodness. You put the coat on her shoulder and then stepped away from her like she was going to go psycho on your ass.

Previews: Jason on the phone: I thought I would call you all and let you know that I'm alive. Monica (on the other lines) is all smiles. Edward, Alan, and Emily are there too, also smiling. Um, can Tracy PLEASE be somewhere nearby?

Edit: BTW, Tracy wants a divorce, and I think she's serious this time.

EH, the moderator, Jeff, asked everyone yesterday to stop the BalloonPosts with all the multiple replies, SHeri did the LP today but the LP never has 1,000 replies like the other big posts do.

Anyway, lots of people in a snit over it.

I think it's silly. If you have something to say, say it in a main post or in a reply to another post.

So I think a lot of people may be boycotting or something.

He asked it because he said it was hanging up the board, but some people think it's because others complain about the BIG posts.

I don't know. But also I think a lot of people are on the road for Thanksgiving. Not nearly as many people watching today I don't think.

Heh, I'm as bad as the spoilers. I misled you guys. It didn't happen in a LuNacy scene. It happened in the Tracy/Edward one. He said something like, "That reprobate. That scoundrel. That...[pause] He's still my son-in-law." And then Tracy responded something like, "Just until I divorce him."

*cue Loving!Edward*

Edward: You deserve better.

Tracy: Thank you, Daddy.

Sorry ya'll.

I know my attitude is horrible.

I guess I'm letting this show get to me more than I should, and I don't mean to offend anyone, or their favorites.

Online is not a happy place for me right now.

GH is not a happy place for me right now.

I'm just sooooo frustrated.

And knowing TIIC, they probably DID cut some of Jane's stuff, and even if they didn't, she's just a prop to Luke, and it REALLY gets to me, more than it should.

Anyway, sorry ya'll. :(

I'm taking another break when TG leaves, unless JE is getting airtime, and from the spoilers, I doubt it.

Is it weird of me to say that as of today I've developed a rather unhealthy fixation on Tracy Quartermaine? I mean, I was just sort of moved by her in some deeply emotional way. :o And no I don't really get it either.

ETA: I feel oddly vindicated from having received exactly what I expected, nothing. I am also sorry that everyone's so down right now. It'll be all right. LuNacy has a future in here somewhere and even if they dont, Tracy does. I have a feeling she won't just disappear. They have to make Jane worth the money they're spending to keep her.

ILoveTracyQ, we'll miss you!

MinervaFan, yeah, I did leave that part out. Oops. So very Tracy though. :) And I was kind of hoping that instead of the scene being cut, Jane and John sort of just changed the scene, but I don't think they have the POWER, LOL. *shrugs* Why does GH keep cutting TQ's breakdown scenes? I had a feeling this would happen, but then my feeling had GH cutting out the Edward/Tracy scene all together (like the Mac/Tracy one from the epidemic). Oh well...

And Regency, I love your optimism. *borrows some*

Oh, didn't ABC.com say Luke ignores Tracy? Hmm, that didn't happen either. OK-I need someone to make a list of all the possible cut TQ scenes. Actually, that would just make me angrier. Never mind.

And about the tree, I made up a bit of parody at SOC, kind of. smirks was amused, so I'll share it here. Did anyone else get this impression from the scene?

Tracy: First, Laura gets my husband? Now she gets my tree?!? Waaaaah!

Yeah, yeah, that wasn't the intention, but I couldn't resist. Ya know I still love Tracy. :)

Oh Staci no you won't.

Quit your lyin'.

:D

Hmm...maybe TOMORROW is the day he ignores her?

Tomorrow should be good as well.

Breakroom for a few minutes, anyone?

I'm at work and of course have work to do, but I need a break.

ETA nevermind, I can't get in. LOL

And Reg? The fixation on Tracy? I think it's because it's so obvious right now what a loser in love she is. And she always, even through her plotting and scheming, shows us her heart and her pain.

That's just a small part of it for me. :)

I am really interested in what they're going to do with Lacy now.

Tracy isn't Skye, so she can put up with being third or fourth best.

So I wonder..........

And I hope tomorrow turns out to be more than today sounded like it was.

    • @Toups Tyler Topits listed in alpha order with the breakdown writers 5/12 Monday episode. O'Connor still listed as both breakdown and script writer. Kreizman wrote today's script.
    • Marland was long gone by this point.  He quit in either August/September 1982. I think it was due to letting the actress play out her contract and use her for party scenes and/or scenes with Phillip/Justin.   I was surprised she was still on in June 1983 myself, because I figured she had been written out before Pam Long joined the writing staff. Thankfully, having episodes uploaded during this period on Spauldingfield YT site has helped to connect some of the dots.  It looks as though Pam Long starts the first week or so of May 1983.. and in those first few weeks: Morgan and Evie were both written off and Lillian/Mindy/Billy/Beth/Annabelle all come onto the show.

    • I can't watch until later (Canada issues). What is Philip's motivation for stealing the drug? Only plot I cared about today and you did not mention it 
    • Doug III’s first day of work. Hope he does a good job… or that Tate tries to sabotage him somehow

      His scenes with Holly were nice though. They’re sweet together and I understand why some people think that they have more chemistry than Tate/Holly do. And I liked that Doug III opened up to her about his past. Maybe that could lead to something good happening in the future.  I also enjoyed Roman and Kate, and how they’re both being tied into EJ’s shooting. The mystery of it all is really compelling. I don’t think Roman is the shooter though either.  I didn’t have much sympathy for Kristen though. She has no one to blame for Rachel’s problems than herself. But at the same time, I’m really surprised that Days actually remembered the Alex/Kristen fling. I thought Ron had erased that from existence. I’m not shipping them at all, but I’m definitely shipping a permanent end to Brady/Kristen but after today, I’m not so sure about that either.  And, Johnny and Chanel were still great together

    • Some country club revelation thoughts from a casual watcher no one asked for. The Great: Daphnee Duplaix gave the best performance we've seen yet. Nicole's dialogue was also well thought out and felt character specific. TJ Maxx Ted was also pretty good. Trisha Mann-Grant steals every scene she's in. Often without even trying. Carrying multiple episodes worth of exposition heavy soap dialogue with starts and stops and recapping and drama and humor is no small feat and she nailed. Vernon telling Lesliana to STFU.  The Bad: So much of the dialogue for the rest of the cast was overly written. Martin said "You are a vile human being with a hole in your heart!". Marty, what are we doing? It's SO dramatic and sounds so silly coming from this grown man. Do Bill and Hayley do anything but talk about the Duprees? And the nerve of her to get so excited to find out Ted is a cheater when she and her husband are too. There should be a hint of shame mixed in with your glee, ma'am. The Questionable: Coffee and a rendition of Amazing Grace after finding out Nicole was betrayed by her husband. The Duprees are an odd bunch. The stinger of one segment had Anita prepared to lambast Lesliana, when we came back someone else was talking. When Anita eventually said something to Wig, it was a lukewarm at best. And then of course she thought singing a song about something that should absolutely not be extended to her son-in-law. The entire family allowing this deranged woman to speech at them in their own was...nuts. I know she said something about what would the neighbors say but my GOD. Is she just going to be allowed to trespass whenever she feels like it now? The focus on Leslie and her wig usage as an oddity is...odd. I think Chelsea said something like "and she wears wigs!" (while wearing a buss down middle part). Okay? It's just not that odd for a black woman to change up her hair. It's the different names that's the problem. I know it's meant to be humorous, in a throwback soap kind of way, but it fell flat for me.  I'm sorry I find the whole family to be WEIRD. It's like they want us to see them as ruthless yet benevolent, open yet furtive, snobbish yet tooth achingly sweet all at the same time. I cannot get a lock on the family dynamics. Everyone is just there.  I'm gonna cry if this show doesn't start giving us ages (or close to it!) for these characters. Because if Eva is 21-22 then Martin was being given crayons, a soda pop and blinders when he was 15-17 years old. Martin had to have been under 8 for me to buy this story, which would make Eva and Kat late 20s (Martin is at least 35 since he wants to run for president), which I don't think they're meant to be. It's honestly minor but it bothers me. I've mentioned this to @Vee but I think the optics on opening the show with both sisters discovering their husbands of over 30 years are cheaters should've been considered. I doubt there was any intention behind it, no one's rubbing their hands together as they scheme to say the married black men can't stay loyal but how does it look? Maybe it's just me. Honestly it's probably just me!
