Recaps, Friday April 10th

STATS

Vets: Tracy

Kisses: n/a

Appearance: still loving that jacket

Other Stories: JoLu break up and it's not pretty; Claudia running out of time while SaSon talk about revenge for Michael; Carly and Olivia talks about her potential pregnancy; Maxie tells Lulu some hard truths about JoLu and later tells Johnny not to use her as an excuse against Lulu; Lucky/Rebecca/Nicholas encounter and Lucky points out Nicholas can't forget Emily; Spin finds Maxie and Johnny kissing on the docks; Ric tells SaSon that Claudia was responsible for Michael's shooting just as Dr. Lee tells Claudia she's at her optimal time to conceive - as Carly overhears, of course

Line of the Day: Maxie to Johnny "There are degrees of honesty"

Sc. 1 - no Tracy

Sc. 2 - On the docks, Spin passes Tracy some information and she's not pleased to see it's just Ethan's current address. Spin calls her The Abrasive One and tries to explain thats all he could find. She calls him the Jackass, Spin corrects her and says it's the Jackel, then he suggests she ask The Scruffy one himself? Tracy laughs in amazement and says Ethan can't be trusted. Spin goes on saying some of the information you are looking for is illegal, babbling about his recent bouts with the law. Tracy's not interested she tells him "You're a cyber genius and you unseal files for breakfast. I want to know everything - everything there is to know about Ethan Lovitt". "Why don't you ask me?" Ethan asks from the upper part of the dock. Spin and Tracy look at each other like they are caught.

Sc. 3 - Spin says the Jackel and his client were discussion a private matter. Ethan says they were talking about him. Spin starts rattling on about how Ethan is wrong, that he's working on an accounting issue for the HS. Ethan points out how he knows Spin is lying by the way his voice goes up and he's playing with his fingers. Tracy turn on Spin and says "Jackass, why are you still here?" Spin grabs his stuff and readies to leave, but not before telling Tracy how honoured he is to be proving his PI skills to a Quartermaine. Ethan tells Tracy she disappoints him. He thought she liked him. Tracy cozys up to Ethan, straightening his jacket and tells him not to try the puppy dog eyes. She subscribes to the believe that if things are too good to be true, they probably are. She knows Ethan has an agenda and she's going to find out what it is. As Tracy walks away Ethan looks menacing.

Sc. 4 - no Tracy

Sc. 5 - no Tracy

Sc. 6 - Lulu is crying and and there's a knock on the door. She yells to go away and Tracy bursts in saying she needs to get a lock on her door. Tracy then tells her that she was right about Ethan and there is something very wrong with him. Lulu says she doesn't care. Tracy takes one look at Lulu and says she broke up with Johnny. Lulu tells Tracy that while they were in GH not knowing if they would survive, Johnny and Maxie were sleeping together. So, Tracy deduces, she's kicked his cheating, lying two faced butt out the door, good for her. She should be prouder of herself than that and not take him back. Lulu looks at Tracy and says she's a hypocrite - she always takes Luke back. Johnny is no Luke, Tracy counters. Lulu falls back on the sofa and says she doesn't understand. Tracy say get up, "stop feeling sorry for yourself, be a Spencer. I'm giving you a purpose." Tracy continues to say Ethan is up to no good and they have to protect Luke from him. Lulu just shakes her head and rolls her eyes.

Sc. 7 - no Tracy; Lulu obviously agreed with Tracy. She goes to Ethan's hotel room with a deck of cards offering a rematch. Ethan pulls her into the room, looks to see if she's followed then asks how the hell she found him. (We know how.)

That's what I was thinking - practically a Tracy marathon, and it wasn't just a throw away scene, she was a major presence this week.

I'm looking forward to seeing LuNacy back together again next week. We've had a week with Luke/Ethan/Lulu then the next with Tracy/Lucky/Ethan/Lulu and Spin, and I like that mixing it up (especially how comfortable Tracy feels barging into Lulu's apartment - that killed me). But I'm looking forward to them working together, and perhaps giving us a little something something for TL's banner.

I know some of you really don't like Ethan, but I'm enjoying the lad and can't wait to find out more. The menacing looks he's given Tracy and the way he grabbed Lulu today have me quite intrigued. There is a whole lot more going on here than meets the eye.

For me it is not the character of Ethan that I don't like. I think it is giving Tracy some story or part of the story--but what I don't like is the actor playing Ethan. He is just skeevy to me and dirty and greasy looking and I don't find him to have any charm or charisma or real appeal. You can't understand what he is saying half the time. He talks like he has marbles in his mouth and he looks like I just want him to take a shower and shave.

What i do like about him (the character) is that he is giving Tracy a chance to be Tracy-like and smart and her usual mistrusting self. Same with her scenes with Rebecca.

What I don't like about him (the character) is he is bringing out the worst in Luke and making him all about the money and the scam and I don't like his latest sort of game of "gravy train" and back off the Q family--they are my terrority type attitude as far as cons go.

I think Tracy will be on Lulu patrol this summer yet again with her latest in the string of boyfriends...Dillon--summer 06; Logan Summer 07; Johnny Summer 08; Ethan summer 09!

    • I think the arrival of the Spauldings (Alan/Elizabeth/Phillip) caused the erosion of Sara's character on the show since Elizabeth took over Sara's place in the whole Justin/Jackie story.  Sara's brief marriage to another deceptive man sounded like it paled in comparison to the previous deceptive man story that she had played the decade beforehand.. and it was probably done because of the whole Alan/Jackie/Mike/Elizabeth cluster that took off story wise.   I know the show had introduced Brandy, the woman Justin cheated on Jackie with... but I don't believe she lasted more than a year.. and didn't make much of an impression. While the Dobson's were good at writing/juggling multiple characters/stories.. they weren't perfect though they did manage to make use of characters not in the front burner like Sara, Ann, etc. I do know that Sara/Adam looked to be starting up at the end of the Dobson era with a jealous/regretful Barbara looking on.. which played out during the Roger/Holly rape story and Hollys prison story.   I don't know if Marland was as inspired by that story when he took over
    • If you ever make it to the Paley Center in NYC (fka Museum of TV and Radio), in their viewing room, you can watch Days 1/1/73 featuring Denise Alexander as Susan. It’s her last month on the show before switching to GH.
    • Overall I was impressed with this week and fall out from the revealation.  I am looking forward to seeing the Nicole/Dana showdown next week.  I do wonder if June is going to be tied to Hayley.  
    • I thought Adam and Sara got married? Although I do not remember any mention of her when Adam returned for Blake's weddings. But MA certainly got the short end of the stick storywise, as Marland's obsession with therapy reared it's head. 
    • Didn’t Meg Bennett return to SFT as a writer in the last few years. I always wondered if they tried to get her back as Liza.
    • Millette Alexander got the short end of the stick once they killed off Joe. The Justin thing was a non-starter. Then she was briefly married to Alan's corrupt lawyer and HE was killed off. She was paired briefly with Adam and that ended because she believed Holly over Roger about the rape. Definitely, Marland had zero interest in her except as the therapist for the many, many of his female characters who needed therapy. It's not odd she left the show. One of the rare 1978 episodes on YT shows Alan going to Cedars for a physical check-up. He ends up with Sarah as his doctor. In between making mysoginistic comments about women doctors, he also openly flirts with her. It's very obvious they were chem testing Sarah and Alan. It's a really good scene. Bernau is both obnoxious and charming and Millette is amazing, trying to be pleasant and profesional without rolling her eyes at him, but at the same time maybe a LITTLE bit attracted to him. An interesting what-might-have-been. So it appears the Dobsons were actively looking for someone to pair her with, they just never found the right one for a long-term story.

      You've inspired me to add my 2 cents about this product placement debacle.  I absolutely HATE the way they are doing product placement in BTG. I really hope this doesn't catch on or evolve into more and more of these moments. It's incredibly off-putting to place them in a highly dramatic moment where we are still on the emotional journey with the character. What is next - Dani spraying the house while having a nervous breakdown? It makes me not want to buy the product they're selling. LOL. That's just me.
