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.

Hey lainey

The book is so bad. I have a promo copy and I was like okay I'm going to read at least one story--the luke/tracy one. It is totally annoying cause you start reading and it is in that total gumshoe stupid spinelli fantasy that is one the show and then the story starts and then it is interrupted by Diane questioning spinelli etc. I read that one story and even having a free copy here, I seriously could not read further.

It is about Luke being MIA and Lulu saying he didn't leave in his usual way etc and asking spinelli to help her with the case so he follows tracy who seems to be acting strange and all dressed in asian/kimonos etc. He follows her to some underground tunnel to china town and some stupid mystery name or something that he ends up figuring out and goes some other way to get to where she is. Turns out she has luke all tied up in some underground pleasure pad or something where she can have him locked up while she goes and does what she pleases with whoever she pleases and he has to wonder when she might come back to visit him or something to turn the tables on him and has some women watching him so he can't escape. So tracy tortures him some and leaves and then spinelli sees that luke isn't really captured at all. He undoes his ties or ropes or whatever and spinelli questions what he is doing and he says he is letting her have some fun cause she is so happy thinking shei s in control blah blah blah and he will let her have fun for a few more days before he hits the road again....cause he is helping the guard go back to see his family in china and how they talk about how they love their wives etc and have become friends.

Silly

So the interesting thing that I keep seeing people say is that Genie's character will be the ex-wife of Tristan Roger's character and the father of Cane whose real name is ethan played by Daniel Goddard. Apparently Kin is there for a few days only filling in for someone temporarily.

The genie fans seem very excited and happy. The LnL fans seem upset that they won't get their "riding off into the sunset ending".

So ultimately it's Tracy still being treated as a chump? I'll pass. Thanks for the preview. That's $15 I didn't have to waste.

The missing point in the whole bit of GF going to Y&R is that they are already top-heavy with their own vets. GF might be highlighted in the beginning just because it is a ploy to get GH fans over there, just like every other casting choice of former - GHers. But they are still newbies to the show and the Y&R faithful have every right to be PO'd that their vets and the characters they've invested in are being pushed aside for what? A name who isn't part of the history but gets overexposed for a while? It's the same thing the other shows are doing.

And no Ms. Q, I don't agree that GF have the better deal here. She's popular only on General Hospital. She's previously been on AMC and Days with little fanfare even when they paired her with the show's heartthrob. It's the dynamic of LnL that has given her the pride of place she assumes. And just because there's an illusion of airtime doesn't mean its better. By definition she's not going to amount to much in one year because she's not Jill, Nicki or…. shoot, Jean Cooper's character (can't remember her name).

The "sunset" thing kills me. That DID happen for them in 1983. All of their hope is pinned on a comment TG made pre-LuNacy about LnL being the logical end story. But as we know TG is a company man and will sell the version the network wants sold. Now its LuNacy.

Figured I needed a new Banner and Avatar for April

Going for a Blue theme this month :)

I have to say that the lack of Tracy so far this year has fourced me to ventre into another show :o

I have started to watch glee like crazy (I think I am turning into a gleek :o )

BUT I only like one character (Kurt) just like GH and Tracy

Ahhhh this has been a sad year so far for gh :(

This might be unpopular around here, but I personally think Genie has a better deal going than Jane. Isn't Y&R the top rated soap right now? Isn't she guaranteed an actual story line with screen time? Jane seems like the kind of person who is A-OK with little to no screen time, but as a fan, I am disappointed. I'd rather see her jump ship and get something to do than sit on the side-lines of her leading man's huge story line. The March episode counts say it all. IIRC, Jane had 5 episodes and Tony had 17. Then come May, Jane will be side-lined again while Tony goes on vacation. Again, Jane probably loves the time off, but I sure don't.

I don't know what Genie's deal is. Is she even guaranteed a multi year deal? And if she is, of course they can let her go at any 13 week interval without repercussions. So I think the "no Laura coming back" is kind of premature.

But, of course, by the time GF is done on Y&R, GH might not exist anymore, either. It's partly because soaps are dying, and it's partly because everything comes full circle. I was sitting talking to my parents one day about this, about how everything comes full circle and things like the post office, that used to literally not exist, one day would not exist anymore. They kind of laughed about it, when I said eventually we'd go back to things like the pony express-not literally a man on a pony, but that people wanting to mail a letter would no longer be able to just go down to the corner office and buy a stamp. Then of course, maybe a week after our conversation, the news came out that our local P.O. would be shutting down, and the main operations would be handled out of a town 75 miles away. I think we will still have one small office for mailing packages, but no local office will be handling our mail delivery. I still don't know how that's going to work, but it just goes to show that in the name of "progress", things go the way of the dinosaur.

Not only will there eventually be no soap operas, eventually, I believe there will be no TV at all. Maybe a few news stations...but the "entertainment" will be pay per view or streamed from the internet. "Web" based shows are the future, just like eventually finding everything on the web will kill most newspapers and magazines. Ebooks and Kindle are eventually going to put paper editions of novels in the grave. It's kind of sad, kind of scary, if you aren't prepared.

With the cancellation of AMC/OLTL, won't that just leave four soaps on the air? When just fifteen years ago, there were 13-14?

Added to say that I think Jane would love to have a story of her own, but she believes that speaking up would get her fired faster than it would get her more work. She ain't no dummy, and she knows the main reason she's even there is because TG fights for her and Lacy. Or someone does, anyway. I don't think there's a true actor alive who wouldn't rather be ACTING, than window dressing.

I don't think Genie will be lead on Y&R, but who knows? It will probably be the last soap standing, and if TPTB like her and her character, YES, she's probably got a better deal than Jane.

I heard that amc wasn't cancelled and that they just got a new headwriter. Oltl I don't know about.

Oh okay thanks. So I don't need to watch for this week.

The only reason why they killed Jake was to get Jason another kid. Gh is ass.

  • Member

TracyQ that was the whole reason gh killed Jake. So Jason can have another kid and make him be in life. He couldn't have another kid while Jake was alive because he threw him away for killing people. He is a sperm donor nothing more. If he has a kid with his mob moll then it'll be kidnapped and shot at. You know this show revolves around the vortex of suck. Also known as Jason carly and Sonny. The gh world has to prop them all the time. I wish someone would kill them and their spawn off already. Can Luke run them over as well?

Can't Tracy go on a killling spree a kill all of them

THAT is a storyline I would watch

  • Member

I would LOVE to see Tracy go crazy and kill all the people who hurt the Quartermaines.

Then, when she gets caught, she'd have that little smirk she does and she'd say..."They had it comin."

guess we are back up.

No luke today

so been reading a bunch of genie articles that popped up in the last hour. Interesting. She said she got a call 3-4 weeks ago from Maria bell right after her oprah appearance. she said she had put it out there what she wanted from GH and they never responded and she was contacted by Y&R saying they liked what she was describing she wanted to play and they thought they could created a character like that who would fit into the canvas.

She said GH never contacted her at all and she has been back in LA for two years wanting to work. What is interesting is that for all the people who said genie turned them down flat and didn't want to come back vying for Luke--that is exactly what she said she wanted to do--come back and play the dynamic between laura/tracy and luke. Being that tracy was now vulnerable for falling into love with Luke and Laura having lost luke become strong. But GH wasn't interested.

Anyway, I wish her well on Y&R and as a fan of JE, I would trade her blink and you miss her appearances on GH for a role on another soap. Even if it is for a year or whatever.

And I agree with Ms. Q and ILTQ--any actor truly wants to act and have good story. yes they might stay put because truthfully where are you gonna go at that stage of the game with soaps all dying out and not many roles for women in their 60s, but I don't believe for a minute that they wouldn't want to have more story. I remember Jane saying that Anna Lee went to her grave complaining about lack of story and airtime.

I guess GF went too long without media attention and Oprah brought her back in the public eye so she can slam GH again for "not wanting her". Who really wants a Luke/Tracy/Laura triangle - except perhaps hardcore LnLers who believe their couple will prevail. Any writer worth their salt wasn't going to step into that muck because it would be a complete back-peddling of 6 years as Luke finally got beyond being stuck in LnL, not to mention if they kept the story in character Tracy wouldn't fight - she would just walk away broken heartedly because she would love Luke enough to let him go. GF also seems to forget TPTB have already said they had contacted her and were open to her coming back. I personally thing GF believed she should be treated like the returning hero rather than the over-the-hill has-been character Laura truly is.

I'm always suspicious of actors who talk so easily in the press - especially considering the network has a strict no talking policy of their own. Something is off when the actor has to be this aggressive in how they aren't wanted. Perhaps she should take the hint. But no, she'll burn more bridges and hurt GH as much as she can because she obviously has no class.

I got the exact opposite impression from the articles I have read so far about Genie returning/not returning to GH! She said what she needed to say and she was exactly right, playing the victim isn't something she wants to do anymore and since the writers can't be bothered to write her any other way she has every right to say that! And if I remember correctly the audience clapped when GF went on Oprah and said that, and so did I. She is 'Laura' of L&L fame, she can burn all the bridges she wants they will always be built back up for her. I am NOT a Laura fan, don't get me wrong, but for her to come back to the show could only be a good thing for Lacy fans, conflit means the characters are still worthy of viable stories, it's being backburned and 'happy' that kills.
