Remos, so glad your eyes are better.

You know, they have been very vague in their explanations of how Luke and Tracy are supposedly not "legally" married. First, Luke admits they aren't. Then, he says that he has "all the necessary legal documents." :blink: Isn't that what "legal" means?

Does he mean that they didn't say the vows? If so, they have corrected that oversight. I thought I read something about how Tracy hallucinates her version, and then Luke tells her what really happened. We never got that. Luke has been very sketchy on the details. Makes me wonder if they are already setting up a possible un-rewrite of the rewrite. :unsure:

As for Tracy and Franco, I am so hoping we get one scene that includes her critique of his art. And I wonder if JF requested to work with JE and TG. I'm thinking he did.

Too bad about BA if it's true, and it probably is. They made such a mistake when they tried to transform Spinelli from Spinelli into a slightly more conventional leading man. "Spinelli" and "conventional" shouldn't even be used in the same sentence.

A few more LuNacy thoughts for the night...

What I loved about yesterday was that Helena was *jealous* of Luke and Tracy. She taunted Tracy just a few weeks ago with the bit about how she could make Luke stray from his ex, so why did Tracy think she stood a chance?

Helena has been corrected. That's why she was taunting Luke about needing two little boys to rescue him rather than doing it himself and holding her with a dagger at her throat. Turns out it was all about Tracy instead of Helena, and that has Helena really ticked off.

I wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't try to exact some revenge against Tracy for the simple fact that Helena has lost her Dance of Darkness partner. Luke doesn't find anything that Helena did even remotely attractive, even in their twisted attraction.

Kind of cool actually. Helena was responsible for putting Lucky into a coma for months, but Luke still had the hots for her. Tracy gets sick for a couple of days because of Helena indirectly, and Luke is out for blood.

When Luke told Tracy that she was the only woman for him, he meant it.

Funny, I wouldn't say GH doesn't know what it's doing - but I do think they have to seriously sit down and think out the longer term implications of some of their choices. Aside from removing our bragging rights that LuNacy had the longest running 'marriage' (while they still hold the 'longest running relationship'), what have they really done? LuNacy are still all about each other, no matter how hard the lady doth protest. The ONLY thing this has done is add to how much Luke does NOT want to be with anyone else (read Helena, Laura, Holly, etc.) Nothing was legally binding him to Tracy - and his vows even stated the stuff is nice but it's not what keeps him - so he could technically have emptied her accounts and left ages ago. But it's Tracy herself that keeps him. At this point my personal POV is Tracy has to start doing the work. She has blocked him at every turn and the only reason I believe he's even around is he knows it's an act and he knows who Tracy really is. Those vows, when analyzed, are pretty profound - he says she's got a huge heart (when has ANYONE said that?) and she says he knows her heart. He likes the challenge and she tells him he is the challenge of a life-time and outdoes her at every turn. That's what turns both of their cranks. It's not just that they are 'interesting' people to say the least, but they match each other where it matters.

And GTQ, then getting on to what you've said, Helena doesn't stand a chance. It's interesting that Hellzabub is all about 'this is what we do, this is our dance of attraction', and Luke's only response is "if anything happens to my wife you're done/you've gone too far". I don't think it was any mistake that Tracy gave her rings back to Luke in front of Helena. She could have taken them off at any time - every other piece of her jewelry was removed - and even left them in the dungeon, but no... she kept them on and made a show of it. I wouldn't be the least surprised if we get Helena/Tracy interaction this summer. Perhaps protecting Tracy from Hellzabub is what brings him back in September/October... something has to if he's leaving thinking she's really through with him this time. (Two years ago he stayed away because he thought Tracy had left him for good, and was astounded that she tracked him down and explained otherwise.)

If you think about it, TPTB are going down the list. First they gave Laura a 'saving face' moment pretending she made the choice to leave, when it's quite obvious Luke made the choice to stay with Tracy (no matter how others try to spin it, Luke's 'no choice to be made' was a choice for Tracy), then they removed Holly with the wimpy threat "if you hurt Luke" - of course they will hurt each other, but they hurt themselves more in the process, and how Helena blowing hot air about how she and Luke have always had this 'thing'. Well perhaps they have because no other woman challenged/excited him before. But that's not the case any longer. No matter how you cut it, every one of Luke's "women" haven't stood the Tracy-test. And the only other one to matter - Lulu - has been a Tracy-cheerleader for years now. I hope Luke comes back roaring like the lion and puts Helena in her place once and for all. In this one Hellzabub can't win... that's just the truth of the matter. And with Tracy now on the warpath, Helena's 'playing' days are numbered.

The thing that's standing out to me is LuNacy has a story. Even Carly/Jason/Sonny don't have a story - they are reacting to the kids. LuNacy has a story and they aren't going to leave it hanging for three months. If I was sitting behind the desk, I would be doing things quite differently, however I can't fault TPTB for their dilemma with TG's schedule. It might not be the best choice but they have to have a reason for him leaving and a reason for him returning. Tracy being the reason for both is not a bad thing at all.

It's looking like Tracy pushes Luke off the HS as she probably prepares to close the place down. Luke and Ethan getting caught up in LuNacy's drama sounds cute. I'm so looking forward to how this plays out. They might have comedic moments but they haven't been playing this for comedy at all.

Now my hope is for Lulu to grab Spinelli by the depressed lapels and drag him over to her place to see what they can do about LuNacy's marriage - I would much rather Spin working for the Spencermaines then Carly right now.

Remos, you and are on the same page. Moreover, I would rather Spinelli *be* a Spencermaine. Seriously, I can see it. Helena stole "materials" from Luke and Tracy, and, voila...Spinelli. She can freeze people and bring them back. A little reproductive enhancements on the side would be child's play for Helena.

Spinelli = Luke and Tracy's child. It is written.

Speaking of Helena, I am loving the green-eyed jealousy over LuNacy. Tracy, when you think about it, is a good-hearted version of Helena. She has the cunning, the charm, the understanding of the dark side - everything that has attracted Luke to Helena.

When Luke called Tracy "the total package", I believe that's exactly what he meant. She's not an "angel" or a devil, both equally unhealthy obsessions. Essentially, both have been officially dumped in every way possible.

But back to Spinelli, I can see it so well.

About Helena's "playing" days, Tracy knows about Elizabeth's child's paternity. Actually, she only suspected, but after the lengths to which Helena went, Tracy is probably all but certain. It isn't uppermost in her mind at the moment, but when circumstances shift, Tracy might take down Helena even without Luke. And wouldn't he love that? You know he would.

And that *should* leave Helena out for revenge against Luke and Tracy which could be a story for the ages.

Funny, this not legal but he has all the legal documents explanation of the marriage/non-marriage seems suspiciously vague to me. Intentional or not, they have certainly left the door wide open for a return to the "real story." Seriously, we were there. And everyone watching knew that Tracy investigated every legal avenue those first few weeks. (After that, neither Tracy nor Luke wanted out of the marriage. :wub: )

This is so clearly a rewrite that I wonder if they intend it to remain a rewrite. Guza's comments about how there was a reason they didn't show the Vegas wedding was hooey as far as I'm concerned. And maybe he meant it as only short-term hooey. :lol: You think?

And Ms. Q, lovely job on the new graphics. :D

Ms. Q making LuNacy banners with Tracy hair extensions! It's just like old times.

Yeah GTQ, they are leaving it open. And yeah, Tracy did her best to get out of that marriage to Luke. And just the other year, Luke was trying to stop Tracy from getting a divorce from the Dominican Republic and when he thought she had gotten it, he was sad and told her he didn't need a piece of paper to tell him to stay away from her.

Spoilers ~

Most of these may have already been posted as SOC is a composite of other's info. But here it is...

Luke tries again to win Tracy over, & he’s thrown overboard

June 23rd: Lucky & Ethan find themselves stuck in the middle of Tracy & Luke's spectacle.

Ethan tries to calm Tracy but fails

Luke breaks into the Q mansion to see her, but Tracy has him arrested

Tracy will be demanding a "divorce"

*end of spoilers*

I'm guessing the last spoiler and the "Tracy wants to sever all ties with Luke" spoiler from another day are one and the same.

Also, the Helena's kidnapping of Elizabeth's baby doesn't last long. She gets what she wants, and then makes it all appear to be a hospital error.

Wonder what she does...a DNA implant?? You never know with Helena.

And, Funny, you'll probably like the scenes coming up with Luke and Sonny. Nothing is spelled out in spoilers, but I'm surmising that Luke tries to dissuade Sonny from the car bomb meant for Johnny by reminding him about what happened to Lily. Luke was there to see it, wasn't he?

I don't remember if Luke was there to see Lily get blown up but you'd think tehat SOnny wouldn't want to go down that road with car explosives since his first wife was blown up.

Tracy demands a divorce? How do you divorce if you aren't legally married?

Probably just a rewording of the Tracy empties Luke's bank accounts, and the other one I mentioned about severing all ties with him. Divorce in quotes was from the spoiler itself, by the way.

About the car bomb, I've seen a clip of that scene and my remembrance is that Luke and Sonny were walking back into the club when the bomb went off.

    • What a wonderful photo! It really is a shame that Peacock will not show those early years. I know I'd love to see them!
    • With the death of Days and GH actress, Denise Alexander, someone posted this in the Days thread, a '60s-era photo of some of the cast, which lists the names. In the upper left, is a young Susan Flannery, who obviously ended up playing Stephanie Forrester on B&B, who was one of a few actresses to play Dr. Laura Horton [mother to Mike and Jennifer Horton] on Days. Here is a link to the photo: https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/38014-days-behind-the-scenes-articlesphotos/?do=findComment&comment=2022200

    • Sorry, there must have been a error, while creating the file. I redone it and it has audio
    • Tamara Tunie was on a local CBS affiliate in Baltimore the other day talking about a few things she had going on, BTG amongst them: "Beyond the Gates" star Tamara Tunie is in Baltimore for the Reginald F. Lewis Museum's 20th anniversary
    • Kobe/Long had their own template and pretty much gutted the cast. As soon as contracts were up established characters were dropped. They needed to free the budget for the new characters. Going back to Ann,I wonder why the Dobsons renewed her contract around 78? After her initial story she became supporting and they didn't seem to want to pursue a romance with Mike. Maybe the feedback was that viewers blamed her indirectly for Leslie's death. If Mike hadn't taken on her case etc. Did she decide not to disrupt her son's life? Seems odd after everything she didn't claim him back. 1976 continues... Joe Werner is just not bouncing back after his recovery as he should, and Sarah, concerned about his sometimes morbid-seeming depression, consults Justin Marler. They agree that Joe is becoming a “cardiac cripple,” and know this kind of overcompensation for illness and overprecaution can not only be a permanently depressed condition but can actually cause a setback for him physically.  Marler releases Joe into Sarah’s care, but it’s soon apparent that just being out of the hospital hasn’t done anything to boost Joe’s spirits about his return to a normal existence. Marler finally lays it out to Joe—the choice has to be his. He can choose to lead a normal, productive life as a doctor and as a husband to the best wife he could have, or he can choose to become an invalid and live on the outside looking in for the rest of his days, sentencing Sarah to the same fate. Realizing the selfishness of what he’s doing to —Sarah as well as the narrowness of the confinement he’s set for himself, Joe begins to see his preoccupation with his illness as the self-pity it really is and decides he’s ready to return to the hospital for a one hour shift each day. Sarah is overjoyed by his turnabout, but full happiness is hers on the day she overhears Joe telling a fearful patient that the world is beautiful and worth any. effort to get back into it. Steve and Adam are thrilled to learn that Cedars has been the recipient of the Levy Grant for expansion of hospital property. But they have learned, as they report to Ed, that the land they were hoping to build the new research facility on, the land immediately adjacent to the hospital, has been purchased by Dr. Justin Marler. Both Adam and Steve feel that Justin is expanding a power base at Cedars and the land purchase is just one more block in Justin’s power play. When Ed asks Marler why he purchased this particular parcel of land, Marler explains that he bought it with the express intention of someday building his own offices and facilities convenient to the major facilities of Cedars. When the subject of the hospital’s needing the land arises, Marler meets with Adam, and they agree that he should realize a fair profit from his property and that an unbiased assessor should be engaged to evaluate the market value of the land so they can agree on a selling price. When Sarah comments on the fact that Marler is to realize a profit on the land, he bitterly replies that no matter what he’s done since coming to Cedars to prove that he has changed. since she last knew him, she refuses to see him as anything but what he was all those years ago. Sarah insists this isn’t true. But Marler then calls Adam for a meeting and informs him that the land is not for sale at any price. As Adam begins to grow alarmed, Marler continues that the site for the new building will be his personal donation to the hospital. As Adam expresses profuse thanks and appreciation, Marler wryly notes that the tax deductions he’ll realize on this contribution to a charitable institution will benefit himself almost as much as Cedars. When Steve Jackson learns that Marler is to be elected head of the research wing that will be built on his property, he expresses the conviction that this was the exact intention of the gift. Adam, however, assures Steve that the donation wasn’t a factor in the hospital  board’s decision, they were concerned only with Dr. Marler’s reputation as a doctor. | After lengthy consultations and meetings. with the hospital  staff, Ed assured by the head nurse that her nurses performed commendably despite the added pressure of the train wreck, presents his findings to the hospital review board. Steve arrives at two possible explanations for the facts. Either Grainger, more active than usual due to the previously delayed medication, reached for the writing pad and inadvertently disconnected the breathing tubes, or he was in a state of extreme upset because of the delayed medication and.in the excitement a surge of adrenalin within his system caused his brain aneurism to start hemorrhaging. " Upon learning that the review board has ruled out negligence in Grainger’s death, Ed tells Rita, who takes her first free breath in a long time. But Ed hasn’t thought to tell Rita that he’s been in touch with Grainger’s attorney, Mr. Schafer, who, knowing that a woman was at the base of Grainger’s investigation, is coming to Springfield to try to find out who the woman - was who walked out on Grainger when he collapsed —in the restaurant. Peggy, learning that Rita’s “forgetting” to deliver Holly’s message was instrumental in their divorce ‘being finalized, tells Ed that Holly wanted to reach him to stop the divorce. Immediately after, Peggy is torn by doubts, wondering if she did the right thing.She confides in Barbara, who then discusses the situation with Ed. He tells her he and Holly have discovered a new closeness now that they are building their separate lives. Barbara quickly contradicts him: Holly is not building a new life. Barbara gently cautions Ed, saying, “People change, feelings change, and what seems right now may not be right a year from now. No decision is irrevocable.” Ed agrees with this. Now that Ben has declared his love for her, Hope finds herself apprehensive, fearing that she might be making a mistake, as she did a few years ago, when she was sure she was in love with her college professor. Explaining that she doesn’t want to make another mistake, she asks Ben to be patient, and he agrees. When Mike expresses his disapproval of Ben’s overstated independence, his need to be beholden to no one, Hope quickly jumps to Ben’s defense, and Mike apologizes. But Ben, surprisingly, accepts Mike’s assessment as constructive criticism. Later Hope, examining her feelings and desires, tells Ben she does love him and wants to belong to him. Later that evening, after they’ve made love, Ben asks Hope to marry him.And, delighted, she replies that she will. At Hope’s instigation, Bert has a family dinner to which Ben is invited, and Hope announces their intention to marry over glasses of wine. Mike politely offers best wishes while Bert thrills the couple with her offer to' make a Christmas wedding for them. Bert later tells Mike he must accept this engagement with good spirits for Hope, and later, seeing the joy she’s feeling, he gives his daughter his approval. But Ben finds another problem on his very own doorstep: his brother Jerry, who announces he’s left home after several bad fights with their parents. He refuses to tell Ben what they were fighting about. As Ben is showering, Jerry borrows his car and goes out for an hour. The phone rings, but Ben can’t hear it. Shortly after, two uniformed officers visit Mike at home to tell him that his late wife’s car has been involved in a delicatessen robbery earlier in the evening. Since Ben bought Leslie’s car, Mike accompanies the officers to Ben’s apartment. Ben curtly informs the police that he had nothing to do with the robbery and makes it clear that he feels they wouldn’t be there if he didn’t have a record and that his exoneration doesn’t prevent his being hassled like any ex-con,as they tell him he has to go to the police station for questioning. Hope tells Ben she called him earlier, and when he replies that he must have been in the shower, she accepts his word unhesitatingly.Jerry finally returns to Ben’s place and under questioning from Ben admits that he robbed the store,explaining that he has debts. Ben is now in a quandary,as he feels he must protect his brother but doesn’t want to be unfair to Hope. He tries to ease the situation by withdrawing $185 from the joint checking account he opened with Hope and repaying the delicatessen owner. He then sends Jerry out of town to stay with a friend. His relief at having solved the problem is short-lived, however, when Mike informs him that, despite the reparations, the robbery was a felony and the police will continue to investigate. Hope is badly upset to learn while making a deposit that Ben withdrew’a sum which Mike tells her is equal to the amount stolen. This shakes her belief that he _was really home when she called, and she goes to him, asking for an answer to put her mind at rest. Ben can’t betray Jerry and asks Hope to trust him, promising she will have the whole story eventually. But Hope can’t accept this; she needs complete honesty and openness in her relationship and without it cannot goon. She painfully tells her father that the wedding is off despite her love for Ben, and tells Bert to stop preparations. Mike goes to Ben, reminding him that half the money in the account is Hope’s and she has the right to an answer. But Ben won’t say any more and refuses Mike’s offer to represent him legally, again stating that he doesn’t need a lawyer, because he’s done nothing wrong.     
    • And not since. I recall it was quite small for a house that size. And I don't know why you would walk down a narrow corridor to get to the main living area. I hate when the sets on soaps don't have a logical layout! As for Andre his clothing is fashion forward and suitable for his character.He ain't gonna wear no blazer!
    • The last I remember seeing Ben, he was divorcing Amanda. He came to tell Evie that he still loved her, but was leaving town so that Amanda wouldn't blame Evie for his divorcing her. I'm not exactly sure when, but Evie doesn't leave town until sometime after Nola and Quint's engagement ball. I'm not sure if she leaves before or after Justin leaves in Sept(?) of '83. I grew to like Helena when she became friends with Vanessa, once she's edging her way out of Quint's life.
