Okay.. I don't think you guys are going to like this, but here goes: Today I believe we witnessed something that we've NEVER BEFORE seen on General Hospital. There was actually GREAT SEXY LUNACY DIALOGUE and LACKLUSTER (Horrible? Checked out? Bored?) ACTING!!!!! It's usually the OTHER WAY AROUND. Usually they "BRING IT BIG," but the dialogue sucks. Today, he essentially tells her, 'your bitchiness makes me so hot I wanna F**k you in this chair.' And she responds by saying, 'woah fella you don't wanna over exert yourself because you're going to spend all eternity in hell.' GREAT STUFF... but where the f**k was the PASSION!?!?! I couldn't believe what she was saying about 'calming down,' because he wasn't acting 'wound up.' And the kisses were perfunctory at best. Blah! This should have been an ACE day. Go back and listen to the dialogue. All of us should be fanning ourselves from the heat, and babbling about cold showers and slo-mo rewinds. We're not. You know why? Because it was lackluster AT BEST!!! This is all VERY DISAPPOINTING. LuNacy is funny and snarky and smart and HOT. If they start losing the HOT... I'm outta here. UNBELIEVABLE!

Hmmm I didn't have this reaction and I still don't. I AM watching it on YT and going back over their scenes and it gives me a thrill. There wasn't much there for dialogue anyway, good, bad or indifferent, and once again they were interrupted. We were actually talking about it in the BR last night that Luke kept stroking Tracy's leg even though JoLu were there, and for her part Lulu didn't have any reaction at all - and you can't convince me she wasn't seeing them. So that must be a fairly regular encounter for the young thing. There certainly hasn't been enough LuNacy this calendar year (although there has been lots of Luke and Tracy on our screens) but what they have had has been great. We have that scene in January, the bail out, pulling Luke to observe the Rebecily thing and now this. But each of them has shown the connectedness between LuNacy and their obvious sexual attraction. It's interesting that an LnL hardliner has been saying that s/he now sees Luke's attraction to Tracy and that today was the 1st time s/he's seen the sexual chemistry. I liked it. I want more, but I liked what we got.

How do the rest of you feel - I get the sense that since NYE we are seeing a very different LuNacy... they've taken it to the next level. They are more sexual and committed somehow. It just feels like something deeper, more solid. Perhaps it's because the 'what if' has been answered. Ewcbo did return and Tracy still has the ring and the name. We all know the way soap operas work - the rollarcoaster ride. But after almost a complete calendar year fighting about their potential divorce, I'm really feeling the bedrock of LuNacy. While I would love for them to stay in their sexy bubble for awhile longer, I actually am ready for their next big challenge.

BTW, in watching their last scene, did anyone else her a kiss after Luke told Tracy they should take this conversation elsewhere and the camera was on a confused Lulu? I've been replaying it and I swear it sounds like lip smacking.

Oh, Remos, I am going to have to listen again for the "kiss" sound.

I loved yesterday because Luke and Tracy just seemed so natural together. Not only did I LOVE LOVE LOVE that he stroked her leg, and gave innuendo, but LOVED that he did it in front of Lulu. And I LOVED that Lulu paid it no mind as if it were a regular, normal, every day occurrence.

I agree Remos, from yesterday, it is more apparent that what they have is deeper, more natural, more open. And it's SEXY AS HELL!

And I noticed too, on SOC there were some LnL fans that admitted that it was the first time they saw sparks between LuNacy. And it was good.

Hey all. From what I can gather (unless something changed or moved up or old breakdowns) no tracy next week. No mention of luke or ethan either. We shall see.

Today, Friday March 13th.

No Tracy...

LuRe (Lucky and Rebecca) are fabulous flirting and heading out for the evening

Nicholas can't stand it but can't say anything either, so he vents with Liz

CarJax bedroom action

ClauSon living room action (after planning a party to show who's in charge of the mob in Port Chuck)

Scrubs continuing drama - Robin lied boldface to Patrick about her day, then drives out of town while Patrick expects to take her to dinner

But the best of all is Spixie - Maxie finally tells Spinelli she loves him. Squee (that's from the Diva, btw). Very sweet... lots of tears and kissing

So what's next for the B*tch on Wheels? Any dates/expectations around next week?

I also heard the kissing sound as well. What the hell? Why are they cutting Lunacy kissing. We need to see all the kissing we can get. But loved yesterday's epi.

Edited March 13, 200916 yr by funny1

I replayed yesterday's epi, and YES, I heard the kiss! This is what, two epis in a row that the camera "missed" their kisses? WTMF!!!

Mmmm, I guess we are to add bad editing to the list of complaints against GH. I realize Lulu is supposed to be caught in the trap of stupid, but I'd much rather see some LuNacy action than Lulu's look of confusion again.

Oh well, I guess we should be happy knowing LuNacy got some action! They are putting on the sexy with these two and it is wonderful to see. What a difference a year makes, eh?

My old pal lil sharks posting a farewell post

Good Friday night SD,

How are you guys? I'm no longer an employee of the Mouse. I can't say I'm sorry either. I'm going out to dinner but thought I'd let you guys know, that what has been laid out for the show's direction for the last month, is being completely re-hauled. I'll be back for a lil bit tomorrow, but things were really going crazy Thursday in a brainstorming session and the ratings are a real concern, especially with the overnight of this past week coming in.

I will tell you for sure that viewer backlash against Scrubs PPD, SpinWinMax, LL2 and JaSam has been extreme and anyone who tells you different is lying.

Fans love Robin, really like anything she's doing, they ARE NOT HAPPY with the fact that Patrick and Robin aren't being given any happiness, even short term with their new baby. They love KMC, she gets so much mail, and really she never gets negative mail, but fans hate how the writers are portraying her in this story. They don't think Patrick has been supportive enough and are really unhappy.

Viewers who two months ago loved the idea of Maxie and Spin are very unhappy. Equal calls for them to remain friends and for the removal of Winn from their friendship and their story (almost no positive response from viewers at all). The writers seems to like the character but she has been a write off for the majority of fans. Lots of fans want Maxie romantic with either Matt or Johnny.

Lots of calls about LL2 have prompted their being dropped as a romantic couple, JaSam negative mail and call response has been even worse but Frons is going ahead, he believes that given enough time and distance from LL2/Liason/Lusam that fans will come on board. But as someone who sees and hears viewer complaints, NO ONE IS HAPPY. Fans of Sam don't want her back with Jason, Jason fans want him with his son, Liz fans hate that she has no story, and Lucky fans have been especially vocal this week with Luke trashing his "Cowboy". Can't tell you how many calls came in since the weekend concerning contract status of GV and BH. Fans seem especially bitter about what has happened to them and RH.

Positive response about Carly and Jax, and Nik and Em. Fans want the Q's back. LC contract calls are still coming in, fans saying if she goes they go. JMB hasn't been very happy on set but things are improving, she enjoys especially working with JE.

Can't tell you guys how badly the Toxic sphere storyline was received by fans. Never has viewer outrage equaled the disgust as this storyline, except the death of A.J. and the shooting of Michael last year. The violence of the show gets the most mail, viewer complaints about the violence are as great as I've ever seen.

I'm going out now, sorry can't answer any questions. I won't be coming back here (maybe tomorrow) and I hope you guys have fun.

Goodbye.

Sorry I inadvertently deleted my short paragraph about Sonny and Claudia. BG loves SJB and really thought she would be a hit again, but I will tell you viewer mail is across the board negative and has consistently been negative. Fans of Sonny and fans who are parents (and their letters lay it out clearly, they hate Sonny being with Claudia) are disgusted with the romantic pairings of Sonny and Jason with women who hurt their kids. They don't care that Claudia cares about Michael or Sam saved Jake. They are really unhappy with these 4 having contact, though Sam fans like that she is being redeemed somewhat the majority have complained about her being with Jason. Most seem to want her with Alexis and her sisters and dealing with Nik and supporting him.

My old pal lil sharks posting a farewell post

I would like to see more vets interacting in storylines and not just hauled out for propping duty

I love Tracy Q always have been one of my absolute favs

I just don't like her haircut right now

Most seem to want her with Alexis and her sisters and dealing with Prince Lardass of Tattville and supporting him.

rofl.... that is a great name for him. Honestly, if anyone should be removed from that generation TC is the one to go. His occasionally good scenes are with TG - and all they talk about is how screwed up his love life is. We can do without that. Isn't his ass supposed to get deported anyway?

I'd love to know how things are behind the scenes with TG/JE and their stories with JMB, NP and whomever. The rest is old news.

Hopefully the backlash to Lucky's treatment the other day and the news of GV loosing his contract will get some better story for Lucky. He can be such a vital character if TPTB would just see past their SaSon fixation.

Interesting tidbit I saw on SN...

"General Hospital": Week in Review

Funniest Moment: Tracy Quartermaine is often the source of some of the better comedy on this show, and things were no different at the Haunted Star this week. When Lucky showed up and saw his dad fawning all over his con-artist protegee Ethan, there was some good old-fashioned chest-bumping on Lucky's part and a whole lot of father-son angst with Luke. Enter Tracy. It's not so much of a surprise that she'd side against Lucky -- they've always been prickly with each other, and she's taken a shine to Ethan besides. But when Lucky started unloading on Luke's crappy paternal record, Tracy stood up for her hubby too, snapping, "Did it ever occur to you if you'd been a better son, Luke would've been a better father?" HA! Wow, that is soooo Tracy: mean, outrageous, and completely self-serving. Bonus points for the fact that we can totally see her using that same argument on her (absent) son Dillon.

I guess beauty is in the eyes of the recapper.

There was a drop this morning that Emma Samms pulled out of her GH gig cause she got a deal with a BBC show. Not sure if that is true or not.

Also TR posted on his Twitter last night that "robert has no more family units" meaning ethan is not his kid and he is not coming back.

Edited March 14, 200916 yr by hookedongh

From a supposed insider (most of their stuff sounded rational)

Anything on Tracy coming up? Or the Qs? Anything on whether it is true or not that Emms Samms backed out? Thanks.

Quote:

Havent heard much on ES. I suspect it (her return) was leaked too early. I wouldnt have trouble believing negotiations broke down after she took a glimpse at where the Ethan/Luke/Lulu story is headed. But I dont know for a fact.

Tracy doesnt have much. She may play a role as Lulu's earpiece in the near future. Her exact role in the Ethan/Luke s/l is sketchy.

~I'll Let You Know

The last post supposedly from the lil sharks person

occasionally at a social gathering, as has JT, KM has been known to smoke but even she has cut way back. KMc doesn't smoke but SJB used to, heavily.

Invention is alive and well here at SD.

Quote:

Yes, I just got here and that was the first post I saw, and I had to respond. I usually start all my posts with Good ______ SD,

I recently quit working for Mickey. I'm starting a new job on Wednesday. I just popped in to see what was happening and stumbled on that post. I find it funny how everyone thinks they know so much about these actors and actresses. They are just normal people you know, trying to earn a living here in LA which is no easy task, as almost every waiter and waitress is an unemployed "undiscovered talent", their own tags not mine.

Quote:

I've worked there almost 9 years, excuse me I worked there almost 9 years and morale is as bad as I've ever seen it, and trust me when word came down the pipe about SD's firing, MORALE WAS HORRIBLE. He is beloved by cast and crew alike and it was a terrible blow. Morale never recovered really in my honest opinion.

Nancy is lovely. A real trouper and as class act as anyone I've ever met, she and Jane are true "gentlewomen" and really amazingly lovely human beings, and the same goes for Genie and Leslie, maybe its the generation, I don't know but I think you would all enjoy any time spent with any of them. They are intelligent, witty and charming, but also strong independent and don't suffer fools gladly. They've survived in the business with their integrity and trust me that is no small thing in LA.

RE: Response to PPD story

Quote:

Letters for KMc are almost always positive. She is loved, and her fans don't seem to mind any of the tragedy filled stories that she is given, but letters to the writers have been ugly, fans don't want Robin destroyed. But KMc doesn't get ugly letters. Not sure why, personally I think it's because many of her letters are from fans who watched her as a little girl, and as most letters are from women, I think they feel very maternal towards her. But that is my own perception.

RE: Do SB and KeMo get along?

Quote:

They don't get into fisticuffs if that's what you mean, but they are professional. But if you're asking if in my opinion there is bad blood between them, then I would say yes. I would also say that I do not believe that they enjoy working together. It is rumored that KM did go to management last spring to request more airtime and if that meant working with SB again she was receptive, if she got her airtime back. But it is obvious that she gets along with GV, and that is who she is most comfortable with.

RE: Rick Hearst recurring?

Quote:

I haven't heard, and had not heard that he was recurring as of Friday evening. I went to a late celebratory dinner with friends and no one said a word. I do think he might be gone by the end of his contract but I can't say with any surety. I could lie and make up something and say he is safe, but I never got the impression that one writer in particular liked him overly much. But he is popular on set. He is a funny guy, he can be a little intense, but I think that is why he is such a good actor.

RE: JaSam going romantic?

Quote:

Yes, BF wants it, and it will happen before summer. Fans of both actors individually don't seem to want it if you go by calls and letters, but they do seem to have a base of fans of them as a couple that makes a lot of noise. But generally calls and letters to the writers seem to favor them going their own way. I know that won't be believed here, but if you could see the thousands of letters we receive, you would understand that the general fan seems to care more about the show and much less about couples than the impression received here and at other message boards.

RE: if Jt and Kmc are happy with the way it's been written?

Quote:

I don't know about JT, sorry but he's not too vocal about the show. I don't know if you guys are aware but he's really big into hockey and that is what his conversations have been focused on for the last month. I don't know if KMc is unhappy, but I do know she did a lot of research on her own, and had her own ideas about how her portrayal should go and SHE WAS SHOT DOWN.

RE: How staff and crew like RebH after all the [!@#$%^&*] she pulled or is pulling?

Quote:

She is extremely well liked. By cast and crew, but I understand that won't be believed here. I haven't heard she's pulled anything, unsure if you are aware or not, but she is one of the least likely to complain about anything. She doesn't request pairings, she doesn't put down her contemporaries but it seems like there are many myths out there that she does. If any of you actually knew her, she is reserved and can be a little stiff. She isn't a party type personality and I don't think she feels comfortable socializing too much. I have to admit that I don't know her well, and I used to dislike her, but in the last year I have found a lot to admire about her, so I guess I'm biased.

RE: Does Mr. Frons like BH?

Quote:

I don't think he understands her appeal. I don't think he dislikes her, I couldn't really say. I've never ever seen them interact with one another. I know that BG likes the actress but I don't think he likes the character too much.

RE: KeMo

Quote:

KM is a very fun and funny personality. She is close to GV. I don't believe that KM and SB hate one another but I don't see any love between them either. I think they both just do their jobs and that is it. I think they are very much alike in their personalities and how they treat people, but again that is my own bias and many might disagree.

RE: Guza's moratorium against NLG

Quote:

With ratings what they are, BG can no longer implement his "punishments" against certain actors and actresses. At least not with BF keeping such a close watch on everything he does. I don't know what is going to happen there, NLG comes in does her job. She has been vocal in the past, but since SR left she has been quiet. I do know that fans love her, and they write in and call for her. She gets little airtime but still gets tons of letters. I don't know what is happening on set between "them" but it's like they've reached a stalemate and both are biding their time. I don't understand many of the undercurrents there and I feel bad speculating as much as I have.

RE: any word on whether JT and/or Kmc will leave come the fall?

Quote:

No but many think KMc is staying an additional year, but nothing concrete is known about either att.

RE: NLG reaction to loss of the Alexis/Jerry story

Quote:

Very unhappy. Nothing that happens there surprises her any longer I think.

RE: Is Kristen Storms dating any of her co-stars

Quote:

If you are asking me if she and JT are dating, not that I'm aware of, I have seen no evidence of it, nor heard that they were. They could very well be, but I would be very surprised.

There is real concern over her lately. She was not originally supposed to be wearing a coat in the scenes you should see air, but it was deemed best.

RE: Reason for BH being backburnered

Quote:

To facilitate a return to a pairing that BF see's as bringing back viewers.

Quote:

Sorry SD,

I've got to go. Sorry but I've unexpected company. I'm sorry I can't answer more questions. Maybe I will check in again sometime.

Good luck and you guys should keep calling and writing and be very vocal. With ratings falling it is your best chance to be heard. Don't limit yourself to ABC, call and email and write your favorite mags and blogs too.

Goodbye.
