What audience are they talking about? I see the online fans very negative about Luke & Anna. Whatever. More FF material for me. I wish the surprise was Alan today.

^^^^That's what i'm saying!!! No board I have seen where anybody likes the thought of Luke with Anna. It is such a missed matched pair, tie that in with the ick factor and it becomes embarassing. Like literally i'm embarassed for them, and for me, that is the WORST feeling in the world, I ffw whenever they are on. And its not because I'm a Lacy fan!!!

partyperson, I sent you a message on YouTube. I think you'll enjoy.

Made some Tracy fanart. It's been awhile... No, it's not LuNacy... It's Tracy and Joe... Not fond of his past, but he sure does seem interested in her, and they are very pretty together.

Ok, so saw this and decided to share:

Exclusive: General Hospital Chief Valentini Explains Today's Shocking Return of Duke Lavery

Aug 27, 2012 04:03 PM ET

Ian Buchanan

Not only did mobster-turned-good guy Duke Lavery die on General Hospital way back in 1990, he was gunned down before our very eyes and took his last breath in the arms of his wife, Anna. So how come the guy suddenly popped up on today's episode of GH alive and well and looking just like Ian Buchanan?

The Emmy-winning Buchanan played Duke from 1986 to '89, then Guiding Light vet Greg Beecroft took over the role and it was explained that Duke — now calling himself Jonathan Paget — had undergone radical cosmetic surgery. (So radical he even lost his Scottish brogue!) Since Buchanan is now back in the part, does this mean Paget wasn't really Duke? Or did Duke go back under the knife to reclaim his old looks? If so, can we please have the name of that plastic surgeon? GH exec producer Frank Valentini has some splainin' to do!

"Our audience is very excited about the growing relationship between Luke [Tony Geary] and Anna [Finola Hughes] and their story looks like it has really good legs...so what's the best thing to do? Make a triangle!" Valentini tells TV Guide Magazine. "We will eventually find out that the Duke Lavery we saw die all those many years ago was an imposter. This is the real Duke."

Valentini and his head writer Ron Carlivati jumped at the chance to hire Buchanan, who was rather abruptly dumped from his current role as scum lord Ian McAllister on Days of Our Lives. "Ian is a fantastic actor and when he was suddenly available Ron quickly came up with an idea and — boom! — we ran with it," says Valentini, who tells us it'll be about five weeks before we see Buchanan on screen again.

"In the interim, Luke and Anna will find themselves in a new place with their romance and they will be very surprised by the intensity of it," reports the exec. "Anna will, of course, be shocked and conflicted, she'll run the whole gamut of emotions when she finally comes face-to-face with Duke. She's going to want a lot of answers and Duke is really going to have to prove himself."

Let's not forget Mr. Spencer in this crazy-ass equation. "Needless to say, Luke will not be happy about Duke's return," Valentini says. "He's really going to have to fight for his gal. This is a very big story for all three of them."

I still think AnaL is the grossest pairing on GH ever, it makes Flea look awesome!!! And we all know how bad that thing was!

NO LIE at the end Y do u think their nick name is ANAL Hence the nickname

Mwah two

Okay, so let me get this straight….

We have JE a few months ago crowing about being in an 'adult' triangle with Luke and Anna

We see the triangle be extremely one sided

We see - or in fact DON'T see - Tracy almost the entire summer

We see a formal break-up of LuNacy who still won't truly let each other go

We see Luke/Anna, who is so vile to the sensibilities of most that even LuNacy haters are demanding LuNacy for the win

We see Tracy uncharacteristically sleep with a stranger….

And NOW TPTB are saying the opportunity to have Duke return is cause for a triangle for Luke and Anna, and this is going to make for great TV?

Someone is talking out of their ass, and I'm going out on a limb to assume it's not Jane Elliot.

Screw Luke and Anna - give Tracy and Duke a past and see what happens.

So Duke's body was riddled with bullets and died in his wifes arms and now he is back and very much alive and well.

All I can keep thinking about is that scene from Soapdish where the shows main character is decapitated and he is now back on the show alive and Whoppie Goldberg saying "how am I going to write for a guy who has no head he has no lips no vocal chords, what am I going to do?!?!?"

I think Duke coming back from the dead would work, had it been like 12 years ago. I've been watching this show for 17 years and I have never seen him, they should have brought back a fan favorite who has been on the show more recently, someone for "new" fans to remember because 22 years was a long time ago, heck 24 years if you count the last time Ian played him.

I have to agree with Remos, in that him coming back for Luke and Anna after they could not stop talking up a triangle between Luke, Tracy and Anna is BS. It's like they cannot give the poor woman a story all her own. After 30+ years Jane deserves it!!!

Oh, I almost forgot, I read a spoiler that said everybody on GH gets sick EXCEPT for Tracy. Don't know how true that is but once again she is being pushed out of a potential story.

Unless…… dare we hope….. she saves the day?

(oh, that one hurt a bit)

tracy doesn't get sick I think because Joe has the antitdote dose Jerry gave him. He flashed back today to jerry saying at first sign of symptoms mix this with water

I think he gives it to tracy or shares it with her somehow without her knowing

Thanks for the fan art comments, partyperson and halee. I was so excited to figure out how to do the blending with my newer program. LOL.

As for Tracy not getting sick - not surprising that she would be left out, BUT...she was sick during that Toxic Balls story line (for maybe the first time ever). And then she also got sick in Helena's dungeon.

It is sweet that Joe shares (or gives) Tracy the serum. I didn't watch too many of his scenes before Friday, but it is my understanding that he is softer/more caring around her. Yes or no? That is based on what I read.

Now, what is Joe's history exactly? He raped Connie/Kate (though rumors suggest that might not be true), but he did kill someone named Theresa, right? There's no redemption for a character after committing murder... (unless it was self-defense, but this wasn't the case).

At least Tracy doesn't know about his past (if she did, I don't think she'd be so quick to form a relationship with him). And she does seem happy. And Joe is such a gentleman around her. Oh, and they are pretty together.

Im pretty sure tracy is among the wealthies people in PC that Todd gathers to try to get enough money together for the antidote

I think she has quite a bit coming up in this stuf even if she isn't sick

I'm guessing they will start to wonder why she is the only one not feeling sick

Now, what is Joe's history exactly? He raped Connie/Kate (though rumors suggest that might not be true), but he did kill someone named Theresa, right? There's no redemption for a character after committing murder... (unless it was self-defense, but this wasn't the case).

It would be nice if they have him not a rapist (Connie/Kate was fabulous in that scene, but how truthful is something else again), and the murder was only witnessed and testified by Sonny, who has no problem blaming others. If they are going to be doing Tracy and Joe for awhile, can he PLEASE be someone worthy of her?

well I keep reading that Joe is out soon and going to die

so what is the point of this tracy/joe hook up then?

people are joking on DD that maybe she is pregnant! As if...

Scraps. They're just giving her scraps and because she's JE, she's turning them into a gourmet meal, but they're still just scraps.

DD is idiotic, those comments prove it.
