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.

Someone posted this yesterday--not sure if I brought it over or not

Ethan is Robert's son.

That is just what it is.

Robin doubts what Holly says. Luke finds out about Tracy's little deal. Luke wants to be the father, Robin is banking that Ethan isn't her brother and just a scam set up by Holly. She plans to find out. It's revealed that Holly was telling the truth about Robert. Luke is saddened by the whole thing. Ethan has no desire to track down his long lost dad. Tracy is upset when Luke decides to do just that. Patrick helps Robin through the tense situation by them discussing Matt. LuLu and Ethan start to bond and Ethan doesn't know how to deal with family connections and caring about his actions and their consequences.

I've given you the basic beats coming up. Time will tell you that this is what it is.

Oh I haven't been paying any attention to the Michael story. Is he supposed to wake up as a little dick now?

I could so do without the Holly & Tracy fight over Luke. Luke ain't nobody's prize these days.

Thanks for the spoilers.

RECAPS, Friday May 15th

STATS

Vets: Tracy, Luke, Edward Monica, Alexis

Kisses: none

Appearance: same pink fuschia jacket and black pants as yesterday

Other Stories: Jason busts Clic accusing them of working together; Jax/Olivia/Carly/Sonny wait for Michael to awaken; Lulu/Johnny interact at HS; Jason tells Claudia he knows the truth about the shooting; Nic and Rebecca spend friend time together but Alexis isn't happy about it; SOlivia bonding in the chapel; Michael awakens for Lulu and asks her what happened to him

Line of the Day: Lulu to Michael "I can't believe how much you've grown."

Sc. 1 - Singapore gang on ELQ jet returning hope. Tracy says that was a wild goose chase because Holly was never in danger, and they are lucky she came along to get them out of that dump, then grabs her cards to join in the game. Luke takes exception to that and says that place is great, and they have to find Holly to find out if the card shark is his bouncing baby boy. Ethan doesn't look amused by that.

Sc. 2 - no LuNacy; Edward talking to Monica about Michael coming from good stock so he will be fine. Monica hopes it will turn out, but she's the medical professional and she is having a hard time with it because it's both Patrick and Monica's opinion that he won't awaken.

Sc. 3 - Tracy says game over, they are playing something else. Ethan says she just doesn't want him to win, but Tracy says no she just doesn't want to be fleeced. "Okay Corporate Shark's choice, what do you want Mama", and she says 21. Ethan gets the first question and asks Tracy why she hates him. Tracy says she doesn't hate him just doesn't trust him. Luke challenges Tracy on the DNA test and said she didn't change that. Luke says not personally, she's a Quartermaine so she probably paid some lab rat to do it. Tracy wins again and asks Luke why that bar and Luke says because he's a sentimental fool. Then Tracy turns to Ethan and asks if he talked to Holly. Ethan points out that's two questions, and passes the deck to her. Meanwhile Edward and Monica continue their conversation about Michael. Edward says they never should have let "that thug" take Michael, but Monica says they can't relive the past. This is where they are and Carly didn't want him anywhere near the Q's. Monica's beeper goes off and Edward tells her to go save lives. Rebecca is listening and asks what is wrong and Edward tells her it looks like Michael won't awaken. Becs hugs Edward.

Sc. 4 - no LuNacy; Edward continues the spiel to Rebecca about how they 'failed Michael', telling her about Michael in the mob life. Ed says they worst the Q's had to offer was better than anything the mob had to offer Michael, but instead of reaching out they got angry and didn't help him. Becks tries to encourage him by saying that all the money they've given for brain injuries will do a lot of good for other children. Edward thanks her and says he knows she hates the comparison, but whenever he needs Emily she's right here. Becs smiles as Edward pats her knee then gets up leaves.

Sc. 5 - no LuNacy

Sc. 6 - no LuNacy

Sc. 7 - no Tracy; Luke back at the Haunted Star pouring himself a drink and Holly walks in asking why he isn't drinking Champagne - they have so much to celebrate, you might call it their own 'blessed event'. Luke looks enticed.

Ewe! See this is the one thing about GH and soaps in general that I hate, and that is the 'unbeliveable'.......the way that a plane can go to and from Singapore in just a few hours. It is still the same afternoon as it has been all day in GH world and people can travel at the speed of light accross the counrty and be back in a flash. It reminds me of the time when Jax took Michael and Morgan to Disney World in an afternoon when it takes that long to get there, not to mention getting back.

Thanks Remos!

So Holly was overhearing the whole deal about Luke thinking Ethan was his kid yesterday and walks in annoucing it. Funny.

Here is some interesting stuff

Interesting tidbits:

rom Thom Racina's offical site:

http://thomracina.com/soap.html

In 1980, I think, Gloria Monty, the legendary producer of GENERAL HOSPITAL, was scared. A writer's strike was imminent and her head writer had started something called the "Ice Princess" story with a formula in it, but not much more than that. If the writers stuck, the story would go to the picket lines with them. Up to that time, I'd done a few episodes of FAMILY, the prime time Sada Thompson show that I thought was a class act, and some scripts for SEARCH FOR TOMORROW. But I was a novelist, and Jackie Smith at ABC put me together with Gloria to see if I could help generate story for the coming year or so. At dinner, I showed Gloria my novel, THE GREAT LOS ANGELES BLIZZARD, which Erwin Allen had optioned but dropped, and for the hell of it said why don't we do this? She lit up, and it became the Ice Princess story that aired, where Mikos Cassadine tried to freeze Port Charles in the summer, the first sci-fi for daytime with the highest ratings to match. I wrote a long story, sold it to them just before the strike, they miraculously did it as we marched around the studio, but when it was over I was suddenly writing the show. I did it for three years, and it was a heady time–we were on the covers of Newsweek, People, college classes were scheduled around us, and we changed the face of daytime forever.

Luke & Laura's wedding was the culmination, and we would have put it off for another year (first rule in daytime: make them wait!) but for Elizabeth Taylor, who forced us into hitching them because she wanted them to get married (she knows a thing or two about that). So we made a deal with Liz: we'll marry them if you come. I created the villainous Helena Cassadine for her, and we had a ball doing it. Tidbits: Tony and Genie loathed each other for a long while there, we had to give Tristan lines like, "If Luke were here, he'd say he loves you, Laura," because she refused to tape with him. But they patched it up. Demi Moore, whom the writers fought for because we loved her voice, drank a lot of beer very early in the morning. Rick Springfield was a cool dude, even though he'd show up after a concert in Europe smelling like European trains. It was my last-minute idea to have Scotty catch the bouquet at the wedding

.

Apparently Luke finds out that Tracy did doctor the DNA test and also about the 10 million deal with Holly before he leaves so they are on bad terms. Apparently he tries to make peace with Lucky before he leaves or something like that according to this ALI insider on dish.

I think Tracy might walk in on Luke/holly on Monday because SID says when Tracy walks in and sees Luke/holly together, she bristles. Ethan tells Lulu on Monday about him maybe being her brother. Tracy confesses to Lulu on Tuesday. The face off with Holly is TH.

I know, and what was the point anyway? Couldn't Holly have been in trouble in NYC or someplace more plausible and shot the exact same scenes with the same effect?

I'm happy Tracy was on again. I just wish we could get one day with Tracy without Mr. Mumbles.

**EDIT**

Alanmonicaforever gave me the heads up on this clip. It is in German. But if you would like to see Tracy circa 1980 giving Monica the stink eye during A.J's christening...please... to enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RehksCHBiU8...re=channel_page

Wow--cool old clip!

Here is some stuff that we already know but from GHabout.com

Updates: May 15, 2009

Agent Rayner agrees to help Alexis get dirt on Rebecca.

Holly intends to extort $10 million from Luke to find out Ethan's paternity.

Eventually, after an intervention by Tracy, Holly admits that she is Ethan's mother but his father is Robert's.

Did Tracy pay Holly to tell Luke that?

On the supersonic ELQ jet---PC to Singapore in 2 hours flat!!

From GHH2

For next week

Ethan drops a bombshell on Lulu.

Holly avoids answering Lucky's questions about Ethan.

Tracy figures out Holly's scheme; the two confront each other.

When Tracy agrees to pay Holly ten million dollars to tell the truth about

Ethan's paternity, Holly admits she is really in town for Luke. She wants him!

Major Change in spoiler!

Holly will tell Ethan and Luke that Robert is Ethan's father ,

but viewers will be left wondering if that is the truth

or merely what Tracy paid her to say.

Only Robin may know the truth.

I know nobody believes me, but I totally think that the audience will be led to believe tht Ethan is a scorpio all summer, til Luke returns and maybe Holly and then the truth will come out. Even if Robin/ethan take a dNA test...

I just think there is no way that they invested all this time, the rewrites to history, etc for Ethan to turn out to be robert's kid. I think they are going to tease lulu/ethan some but they are not going to be having sex.

This is hilarious from serial drama girls on emmy's

I've grown sadly accustomed to General Hospital being rewarded for taking offensiveness and stupidity to a new level, so I anticipated having to write a long rant about how I hate the world and how could any sane, rational Emmy voter give GH a chance to be called the best soap on the air. I had even started to think of hilarious quips insulting the intelligence and integrity of said Emmy voters. But I didn't have to do that! Because the Emmy voters were rightly like, "Are you fuckers for real? You lecture your viewers on violence, you put a child in a coma to punish him, you realized that you never figured out who brutally killed Georgie and Emily, so you brought Diego back from the dead and tried to pretend he was the culprit all along, you tried to pass off a character having sex WITH A GHOST as the greatest love of all, you turned daytime's first HIV+ pregnancy into a joke about blog wars and visitation rights to a uterus, you nauseated viewers with Sonny and Carly's limo sex, you made us all hate Lulu/Johnny/people on the run, you killed off Logan and then brought him back as a hilarious ghost which was entertaining for all the wrong reasons, you ruined the character of Scott some more, again, you have Sonny ANOTHER KID, you made Sonny EVEN MORE ANNOYING, you shot Kate twice and then pretty much dumped her for her lame cousin and Claudia, Nadine existed and you blinded the audience MULTIPLE TIMES with the ugliest coat of all time, and those complaints are just off the top of our heads. You suck at life and we'd rather gouge our eyes out with a spork than give you any chance in hell of stealing the Emmy from a more deserving show."

Hey guys, I'm at a KOA and loving wifi access. Thunder storms and tenting however, not so much...

Love this picture - Daddy looks like he's getting a good view of Mama's goods. And the travel thing - yeah... I choose to believe they were over Ontario when they were playing, so just after the scene the pilot announced they were landing.

I seriously don't think they are going to revisit Ethan's paternity, Hooked. This isn't NBC or CBS who fly fast and free with keeping it in the family. This is the Mouse Ears where people had a canniption about Natelia/Jared on OLTL and the audience knew the whole time that Jared was lying. They wouldn't even be pretending Luthan if this was to be Luke's kid. They are just going to get all of the milage out of it that they can (screw the reminants of LnL, have a Lucky freak-fest, revisit Luke's past amores) then once that's been milked - which is pretty much over now - they will then get everything they can out of Ethan NOT being a Spencer. Really, they are getting the best of both worlds with this one.
