Where are all the Tracey lovers? C'mon guys, this is ALWAYS the number one post on the boards. I can't believe it wasn't the first non-administration post.

Let's get the all-mighty Tracey love going here. This place just doesn't feel right without this post being here. I may not have posted much in the previous threads, but all be damned if I didn't read every post and response religiously.

**Bowing down** Tracey Quartermaine, you are Queen.

Nikki

From soapnet May preview---LOL at the Tracy/Holly commentary--guess all those "insiders" were wrong. Unless soapnet is lying.

Michael is at the center of some of the major drama that happens on "General Hospital" in May. Sonny and Carly consent to experimental surgery for their son -- well, mostly because if he doesn't get it, Patrick says he'll die. But it's a big emotional roller coaster for the two parents, culminating in Michael (finally!) waking up. Don't expect things to pick up for Michael where they left off, however. He's also missed quite a bit since he's been "away" from Port Charles: Carly's pregnant, and he's got a new stepmother (who is responsible for putting him in the coma, BTW ... more on that below). How is he going to react to all of this? Longtime fans will remember what a gamechanger it was when Jason had his accident all those years ago (and became the black T-shirt-loving mobster we know and adore). Look for similar ripple effects here.

Also, don't expect all the adults to be unified in what's best for Michael. Think about how many different people close to him have an opinion! And you can definitely count the Quartermaines in, because you know Edward is not about to let his great-grandson go after almost losing him once.

Adding to the complications: Carly's pregnant and has a 50/50 chance of survival, due to the blood-clotting condition she's developed. Integral to her survival rate is living a stress-free existence. Which, given all the Michael details described above, is going to be very hard.

Claudia's month starts out bad and quickly gets worse. Let's count all her problems: 1) Jason is convinced she is responsible for Michael's shooting and ups his investigation full force, which Sam plays a role in. 2) Sonny himself is not totally convinced of her innocence, so Claudia starts to work overtime to get Sonny on her good side -- and using someone he loves just might be the way to do that. 3) With Michael awake, Claudia's got to worry about how much he remembers from all their lovely one-way chats when he was in the coma. You know, where she blatantly admitted she's responsible for his condition. AND 4) Ric's now convinced he's actually the father of her baby. He threatens legal action for a paternity test, which -- if it turns out he's right (and it's a very real possibility) -- means Claudia's leverage over Sonny is gone. Also, white goes in season after Labor Day, and Claudia only wears black, so her wardrobe options are more limited ...

Look for love to go full steam ahead with Nikolas and Rebecca, once Lucky takes a step back (which he does ... and heads right for Liz). Nik and his dead wife's lookalike get closer, make out a lot, and generally have a nice time. So why can't they just be left alone? Because Alexis is 100% convinced that Rebecca is working for Helena. She won't let it drop, and gets even more compelling evidence (remember she identified that Rebecca had surgery scars on her face ... possibly from plastic surgery to look like Em?) that she presents to Nikolas. She's not alone. Tensions between Rebecca and her co-worker Liz (aka Emily's best friend) are escalating, so Alexis gains a partner in her nay-saying. Is Rebecca a con? What do you think?

Ethan and Luke get the DNA test results back to see if they are father and son. So ... will Lulu and Lucky be getting a new brother, or is Ethan Robert Scorpio's child? The results end up bringing Holly -- played once again by Emma Samms -- back to town to cause her own brand of trouble. Expect some great face-offs between Tracy and Holly, some classic Luke/Holly chemistry, and for Robin and Patrick to get thrown into the mix (maybe he IS Robert's son)? Also, Emma Samms looks amazing. Wait until you see her.

Ethan's potential sister, Robin, does return to town in May after receiving treatment for post-partum depression. Patrick's been doing an admirable job of playing single dad (with Matt and Liz's help) -- but once Robin returns, the elephant in the room is: is she better? And will they (Patrick and Robin) be OK?

Maxie, Maxie, Maxie -- we know you want Spinelli back in your life, but is faking an attempted mugging really the way? When her paid mugger goes missing and a REAL thug tries to attack her, Maxie's plan backfires and Johnny ends up being the one to save her ... as Spinelli watches. Maxie's forced to resort to plan B -- or rather, Plan S -- seduction. "Spixie" fans fear not, though: The two are forced to come together for professional reasons when someone starts leaking information out of Crimson. Kate tells Maxie to get to the bottom of the problem or else she's fired, so Maxie and the Jackal team up to nab the culprit -- and you'll be surprised who it is.

But things would be good with Maxie and Spinelli if not for her feeling for "the loathsome lothario" Johnny, right? Well, Johnny starts shacking up with someone else in town this month and Maxie, despite her Spinelli commitment, is NOT pleased. Nor are a lot of other people, chief among them Claudia.

What are your predictions for the month?

Looks like some major rewrites in the Luke/Ethan story. Probably because of all the backlash of the original plan. Good--I would much rather him be a Scorpio than Spencer.

Wow...quiet Sunday.

I was just reading an article on Daytime Confidential about how CBS is going to try and keep their GL people. They sounded adamant as opposed to PR BS. I hope it is the former. The last thing we need is some influx of GL actors.

We need an *outflux*...lol...not an influx. Speaking of, Ethan needs to be the next one to go. Accents are great. We've had plenty of them on GH. Diction is an *entirely* different component and when one sounds like they are gargling with oatmeal, call me unreasonable, but I'm not a fan. (I'm leaving hair out of it since I see Funny is around. Hi, Funny! )

Sorry i missed you GTQ! And you know me quite well huh?

Sorry i missed you GTQ! And you know me quite well huh?

Yes, Ma'am, I do!

Sort of skimmed through the show...Boring as everything, IMO, but here's what I noticed...

They're changing everything. Sonny and Olivia instead of Claudia, LnL2 speed reconciliation, Nikolas/Emily/Rebecca, and Sam and Jason. So, maybe they will soon be changing other things we don't like.

Hooked, thanks for sharing the Lil Sharks scoop. She seems sincere in her posts. I don't guess anyone gets everything right, but she never sounds BS-ish to me. That business about BG and couples sounds really in keeping with today. I could care less about any of them, but all of the couples getting started or restarted today are his choices. (Based on everything that's been passed along. Haven't seen anything contradictory.)

I hope this doesn't turn out to be a be careful what you wish for thing, but no one could care less about the Quartermaines than BG. So, maybe the Quartermaines will be, if not front and center, at least a real part of the show. Romance and couples, which Frons likes, are soap tradition. So, it makes sense he would see families as part of the equation. (I hope!) And the Q's always top the list as GH's favorite family.

Just want to see what new banner/avatar look like on the page... Not sure if I'm gonna like...

Edit: Avatar is creeping me out, kind of... Ughhhhh...

Someone left this for me in the IL tonight

I just got home

Truth is...

Will someone pass along to TracyFan

Tracy is not getting out of Luke's orbit

Holly/Tracy do battle

This is my last post

was there no GH today???

I didn't see a recap???

Someone help me I live on the other side of the world!

Thanks so much, Hooked! Hopefully they're right in both instances. Seriously, I can't imagine GH being dumb to have Holly on, and not have any scenes with Tracy. That's not just dumb. It's crazy!

TracyQ, there was no Tracy or any mention of her today. Both Tracy and Luke are supposed to be on tomorrow.

If you go to SOC, I think they have recaps of each show. The characters on today were Spinelli, Maxie, Johnny, Patrick, Elizabeth, Lucky, Sam, Jason, Sonny, Claudia, Olivia, Nikolas, and Rebecca/Emily. (I may have left out a couple, but that was basically it.)

Sorry darlin', I've been on negative-energy overload and I just had to step away from it all. I didn't even think of you folks on the other side of the world.

Yesterday....

Sonny is still bombing around thinking copping attitude about Carly. Both Claudia and Jax told him privately to butt out and focus on his own family. Laster he returns Olivia's cellphone (can't remember why she was at his place) and he doesn't let her hand go when she reaches for the phone.

Johnny saves Maxie from a real mugger and Spin arrives too late. Later Maxie tells Johnny she wants Spin, not him. Spin arrives and asks if the stalker/mugging was a set up. (I did miss some) she cops to the stalking being a set up but not the mugging. Maxie repeats how she wants Spin in her life.

Jason and Sam talk about her PI work, why she was wet and naked (buddy hires her b/c he thinks wife is having affair -wife and girlfriend force Sam to jump from building). Jason also lays out how he thinks Claudia is guilty but he can't do anything about it.

Liz/Lucky and Rebecca/Nicholas admit mutual attraction, and they want to try again.

Patrick was the domestic devo, but I can't remember an actual point in his being there.

And that's what I remember. On to today...

Recaps, Tuesday May 5

STATS

Vets: Luke, Tracy

Kisses: none

Appearance: same silver skirt and light-rose paisley jacket

Other Stories: Nic/Becks almost do the dirty but Becks stops and ends up being storm-stayed on the island anyway; LnL2 home life bliss with Chinese delivery and talk their history/past involvements; Claudia afraid she's miscarrying and Ric there being an ass, eventually they find out the baby is fine; Olivia/Sonny flirty and talk about Claudia;

Line of the Day:

Sc. 1 - no LuNacy

Sc. 2 - no Tracy; At the HS Ethan returns sneaking in, and pulls grocery list out of money box. Luke turns on the lights and says it's deja vous all over again. Ethan says there's no shot gun and Luke says this time he wasn't surprised. Luke knows he's sticking around for the DNA test results and he appreciates that. Ethan says what's the point, they should burn the results and move on with their lives. Luke asks why they would want to do that?

Sc. 3 - Luke and Ethan play poker. Ethan asks why it's important because he hates being a father. Luke says no, he hates the traditional roles of Father Knows Best. He loves his kids but he wants them to be who they are not because he wants them to be someone. He says Lucky is having difficulties but they had a lot of good years, Lulu he'd be proud of no matter who she belonged to. Ethan says what's the point in knowing. Luke point out that they have lots in common or he's an even better con than Luke thought he was. Ethan chuckles at that. Luke continues to tell Ethan nothing changes if they are father/son - and gives him a warning about not getting caught up in the mob because he was in it when he was Ethan's age. Tracy walks in and asks if Ethan was still conning her husband and both men roll their eyes.

Sc. 4 - (Mike was yelling at me so I missed the first part) ...Tracy quietly tells Ethan about Ned and Dillon, about how they don't visit and she really misses them. Then she says she really appreciates the con - she truly does - and how Ethan/Holly are exploiting an emotional need the victim (aka Luke) doesn't even know he has. Ethan throws his cards down on the table and says he folds. He's sick of this. He's told them over and over why he's there and they still don't believe him - he doesn't want Luke as his father and he doesn't want to be Luke's son. Both Luke and Tracy are surprised by his outburst.

Sc. 5 - Tracy asks why Ethan is still around if he doesn't want to be Luke's child? Luke explains he took the cash out of the box so Ethan couldn't steal anything before he left. Tracy then asks him if he only stayed to get money? Then Tracy turns to Luke and says he can give Ethan all his money, but don't give any of hers! and storms out. "Isn't my Popsicle beautiful when she's cranky?" Luke calls after her with a smirk on his face. Tracy just turns and glares at him. Ethan says Tracy is right - he's stolen and lied to everyone so why trust him.

Sc. 6 - Luke tells Ethan a little of the Spencer history - Ruby (tough, honest, didn't suffer fools), and how he grew up in a whore house hustling johns and playing with Ruby's girls. Then tells about how he sent Lucky across the country to Ruby, because she would take care of him. Ethan comments on Lucky not being the son he wanted. Luke says Lucky is lost right now, raising someone else's kids and he thinks it will come back to haunt him some day because he wasn't made to live the straight-and-narrow. Luke then tells Ethan he's got a lot to offer if Ethan is his son. And what if he isn't, Ethan asks? Meanwhile Tracy is at the hospital hitting up Piph for Luke's DNA test, and Piph tells her no dice. Tracy then gets holier than thou and says she's given so much to this hospital that the staff can cut corners, and as Luke Spencer's wife she has access to his medical files. Piph gets uppity back and tells "Ms. Quartermaine" that her staff doesn't cut corners, that it wasn't a medical proceedure and that no one outside of Mr. Spencer and Mr. Lovitt will see the results and inform her if they want to. Piph walks off and Tracy glares at her.

Sc. 7 - no Tracy; Luke tells Ethan he hopes he stays around regardless of the DNA test. Luke like's "Dodge" and wants to teach him what he can - because Ethan's got talent. Ethan suggests perhaps the divine brought them together. Luke says he doesn't believe in God - that it's a random crap shoot. Ethan says he hopes the DNA proves they aren't father/son because he wants to stick around.

Thanks for the recap. No Tracy mention for tomorrow--just that Lucky is not happy about hearing Ethan may be Luke's son--but hopefully she will pop up.

This was in SOD for the week of the 18th

SOD: VCR Alerts...

Monday, 5/18: Carly gets the news she's been praying for. Ethan drops a whopper on Lulu. Rebecca and Alexis make a deal.

Tuesday, 5/19: Tracy confesses to Lulu. Claudia thinks she's a step closer to being in the clear. "It's never-ending with her" chuckles Brown.

And this was posted

I just opened the new TV Guide and in the soap section it names the new Kristina, Morgan, and says that Ethan is Luke and Holly's son.

New Kristina:

http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3885078272/nm1943692

New Morgan:

http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3971060736/nm2532557

Kristina first appears June 4. Morgan is on next week, May 12.

NLG on the aging of Kristina and Molly:

"The way I see it, this is a trial run for having a teenager in real life. I can go to work and get used to hearing that I'm an idiot and that everything is my fault!"

Ethan is Robin's brother?

He is Lucky and Lulu's brother according to TVGuide. Here's the quote "Holly (Emma Samms) returns May 15 to reveal that Ethan (Nathan Parsons) is her son by Luke Spencer."

This is in the 5/11-17 issue of TVGuide in the Soaps section.

Watched live today. I loved Luke's comment to Tracy as she was leaving. The timing and all of it came across as a TG adlib to me. That's even better.

Hey, Hooked. See you on GMail!

Thanks remos!! So today is still the same GH day a week later!?!?! I think I am all mixed up, can anybody tell me when Tracy first appeared with the silver skirt?? I had downloaded and edited last Thursday's (the 30th) episode but thought I missed a day somewhere. I will add today's show to last weeks, since they are all the same day.
