The Tracy Quartermaine Lovefest

I think what we are saying is that the general audience sees Tracy as a snob, and years ago her snobbery was a lot more pronounced. Now personally I think she's always been able to get to know the people she WANTED to get to know, and didn't bother with the others, and many people misinterpreted that as snobbery. But don't most people do that, although on different levels and for different reasons? At any rate, my personal opinion is that she's not so snobby anymore.

But as Ms Q and I were saying, it's ...."awkward" (to say the least) when employers and employees form friendships. Sabrina is not technically Tracy's employee, so I'm good there. But like old Reginald the butler for instance, even though I thought they were adorable and even felt Reggie had a bit of a crush on her, they would have never worked.

This is television, "upstairs,downstairs" relationships happen. But either fictional or IRL, they are rarely a good idea. I don't hang out with my boss outside work, and the few times we have been in a social setting outside work, I don't have a problem with it. But I wouldn't make a habit of it, for obvious reasons.

I totally have faith that Tracy will understand why everyone lied. I just don't expect her to be happy about it; who would be? Few people get giddy at being lied to, for any reason. I do think the hurt and betrayal will be the strongest from Dillon and Lulu, even stronger than from Luke, at this point. I do think she'll forgive them fairly quickly, but IDK.

I think, TVFan, that you are confusing JE with Tracy. Of course anyone would benefit from scenes with JE, but we were simply pointing out that Tracy, at one point in her tenure as a character, would not associate with anyone who wasn't at her same "station".

For lack of a better term. I do think, as already stated, that Tracy over the years has proven most of that is just talk anyway. I also think she cares less these days, as already stated, because of her dwindling family.

Time has a way of changing your outlook on many subjects, and I think Tracy has realized that a free offer of friendship is something she can't afford to turn away.

As far as Dr. O, I think she has too much disdain for Americans in general, and I also think in several negative ways, that she and Tracy are too much alike. I still think Nina or Ava would be much better choices for friends with Tracy, because there's the right amount of differences versus things in common.

MsQ, regarding the ELQ shares, Sloane (who I can't stand, btw, he always sounds to me like he's reciting lines, not at all natural) told Nikolas yesterday, that he got BrookLynn's shares, by threatening to make it known that Olivia's baby is alive; Brooklyn was looking after the baby, apparently.

And I agree with the rest of you--I just adore this Dillon! He's my hero. :)

He should have simply gone off and told Tracy what he found out, instead of TELLING Luke that that was his intension. Announcing it only ensures that someone will talk him out of it, or stop him, in some other way. It's such an aggravating, common occurrence, on GH. Act, don't talk!

I miss Ned.

Oh yes, because each of them has such a strong personality, I'd love to see Je/Tracy in scenes with Ava, Nina or Dr. O. Franco, too. Any of these combinations would be comical, and pure gold. ... I just think Ava's too dangerous, and I don't want Tracy in the Jeromes' orbit. Liesl is the best option; clever writers could make it work.

Hmm, maybe Nina can befriend Laura. They have that coma thing in common. LOL

Thanks truenorth. I didn't know that about Sloane. I am only watching some of the stories.

Jane Elliot rocked those Haunted Star scenes today. Tracy is going to be devastated when she realized Dillon lied to her, especially after that speech about appreciating his trust. And then tomorrow, Dillon is supposed to comfort her. My guess it's because Luke and Laura left town "engaged." Dillon was the one who made up the engagement, and now he is comforting her over it. When all is revealed, this could really turn Dillon and Tracy's relationship upside down. It would have better just to tell her the truth. She's not going to put Lucky's life in danger...

But this story is so stupid anyway... They are just waiting around for this kidnapper (who gives little details) to call. A kidnapper who wants Luke and Laura together? Someone speculated it's not about Luke and Laura being together, it's about getting Tracy away from Luke. Someone guess Nik because then she will be too distracted to focus on ELQ.

Are we certain it's Dillon, and not Sabrina, Michael or someone else, who comforts her? One spoiler said Dillon, another said "someone close", which okay Sabrina isn't yet, but....

Does anyone know?

I can't wait to watch. Oh, Dillon. Dumb, dumb Dillon. I don't think it will ruin Tracy and Dillon, or Tracy and Lulu, permanently, but I do think there's going to be a rift there and a big blow up and hurt feelings for a minute. But Tracy loves them too much, and they her, for it to last long.

Oh, Dillon! Why?!

Wouldn't it be terrific if Tracy, on her own, came to the conclusion that there's more to this than she's been told? She's been living with Luke and his family and enemies for long enough now, that this should occur to her as a possibility. Because this just does not make sense, otherwise! Sooner or later, she should realize that.

I'd love it to be Tracy, who has some key part in helping them fix this... whatever it is. But I just want JE involved in everything. LOL

New SID article gist of what RC says

its a Luke and Tracy love story even though she's not there on the adventure. We'll see Luke's love for Tracy while he overcomes obstacles.

Genie gave soaps.com interview saying there is no Luke Laura romance going on because Tony has played that he has moved on for a long time and played he is in love with Tracy and he is very protective of his characters and it would t make sense

The scenes today weren't as bad as I thought, and Dillon is obviously conflicted. Every time he tells Luke off, I SWOON, people. It's about time Tracy had someone in her corner fighting FOR her. I love him. Please don't ruin this, RC.

Well, I think TG is totally playing it like Luke loves Tracy. He and Jane have had me near tears several times, and the only time I normally cry at a soap is when someone dies. But they aren't getting the bulk of the last days together. So it's kind of a draw in the LnL versus Lacy debate. One gets most of his last airtime, but he loves the other one. I am shocked but pleased at the number of Facebook fans on the GH site who love Lacy. It's about fifty/fifty in reference to them versus Laura/Luke.

I have to wonder though, if Tracy isn't going to blame Dillon and Lulu for not being with Luke anymore. Oh Tracy, please don't. She's gonna need her boy and her girl.

Well crap. I edited and it ate it.

Anyway. Maybe that's a sign I should hold my tongue. Night everyone!

I also think that Tony is playing it like Luke loves Tracy. I am really surprised by the Soaps In Depth article. I thought for sure that Luke and Laura would reconnect. Maybe they reconnect, but non-romantically?

No Dillon (or anyone) comforting Tracy today, so it looks like that got cut. sad.png Dillon checked in with her in the morning, and then he visited Lulu while Sabrina and Tracy remained at the Quartermaines.

Lulu and Dillon rehashed their past, and he got to meet Rocco. Meanwhile, Tracy and Sabrina discussed Sabrina and Michael's relationship, Dillon's relationships with Georgie and Lulu, and ELQ. Seemed like the writers were trying to catch up any new viewers on everyone's history.

Tracy is in previews with Sam. Jake, as we know, thinks Sam is working to take ELQ away from the Quartermaines, and now he thinks Tracy is her boss. laugh.png Worst security ever. But I do think Jake works better with the Quartermaines than with the mob.

I liked today, and I liked Dillon with Lulu. I was afraid my infatuation with the new actor playing Dillon was due to the "JE is queen of all" thing. But he had good rapport with her. Not sure if I would want anything to come of it. Didn't Tracy say once way back when that she and Dillon would kill each other if they were a couple? Can't remember.

Dillon is certainly more like Luke, though, and I think in the end, Lulu will end up with someone like Luke. Dante does not seem to have anything in common with Luke, IMO. By like Luke, I mean having no problem with picking up and going on an adventure at the last moment, etc.

Yet again another anvil about Tracy and Dillon, with her saying how he's the only reason she's staying sane, etc. With him looking guilty and making tracks over to Lulu's right after. I so am looking forward to-and dreading-the confrontation from Tracy to Lulu and Dillon. I have a bad feeling that TraLu may be forever damaged, and that we won't be getting many Tracy/Lulu interactions after TG leaves. I hope I am wrong.

So, aren't Dillon and Lulu supposed to take off and join LnL?

And yes, Sabrina was ogling Dillon's naked chest today. :)

Me too!

As much as I loved Lunacy, I think RC really prefers to write for Tracy as Tracy Q

For some reason I don't think Tracy being pissed off at Lulu and Dillon will be some huge confrontation. I think it will be blown over like everything else on this show

Seems like the Luke and Laura adventure is going to be at least 3 -4 weeks. I think they will run into Jennifer Smith, then Holly, then Skye on their trail of hints to find Lucky so Luke can have some closure with them. I think ultimately once he returns to Port Charles he will have closure with Bobbie and Tracy -- maybe even scotty and sonny too.

I don't know about "huge", but I do think there will be some sort of confrontation, I think they keep making too much of the fact that Tracy trusts Dillon to tell her the truth. I also thought it was weird the way Tracy talked about Lulu yesterday-maybe I'm reading into it but it was just a feeling I got.

I do think she'll forgive them, but....well I guess we have to wait and see.

Forgot to mention that I loved the "fist bump" moment with Rocco and Dillon. I do that with my 2 year old nephew all the time. :)

I'm okay with Tracy Q-I just think she deserves a love interest, too. Not that I need to see one right away, but in a few months, maybe.

I'm pretty sure RC is an LnL fan... I'm confused how the LnL adventure may be about Luke's love for Tracy...

I don't need Tracy to have a love interest - just screen time.

I do hope Tracy/Dillon and Tracy/Lulu do get scenes about the 2 of them keeping quiet. It doesn't have to be huge, but I do want something.

Tracy today - a lot of characters in one room - Tracy, Michael, Sam, Jake, and Sabrina - so everyone had to take turns with dialogue, lol. Tracy in previews tomorrow... Unless I blinked and missed one of them leaving the room, I think all the same characters are there.

Dillon is considering giving up half his ELQ stocks to Nikolas - something to do with Nik financing his film.

Well for me, it's about the fact that a romance of any kind with someone not Luke, should mean more screen time. If all she gets is ELQ, that's not going to be much, and I'm greedy. There's also the fact that IMO I don't see GH lasting much longer. Soaps are and have been dying for a while now. I'd like Tracy Q to get her enchilada, so to speak. I am going to hope for the best, that they'll care enough to write her a love story worthy of Tracy's Q's eventual exit. As we were saying earlier, the fact that she's just a woman crying out to be loved (didn't WK actually say little girl in his quote?) defines her. And yeah there are all kinds of love, and if that's the conclusion she comes to by the end of JE's run, that all along she's had that love in one form or another-and that she doesn't NEED a man to love her and define her, that's fine. I just look around at all the people on this show who certainly aren't any morally better and some of them no nicer, who have pairing after pairing. If they can have that, why can't Tracy finally find The One? Now, if GH IS still around in two or three years, and they do the story justice and bring him back long enough to write it well, I could go for Luke coming back to get her. But honestly, this last stunt has put him on my list, and I just don't care about Lacy as a couple right now. He'd have to do SO much growing as a person to be worthy of La Diva, and I just don't think TG will ever play that kind of man again. Not even for a short stint, not even for JE. It's what I've always wanted for the character. It's her perfect ending.

    • They didn't need to have some slutty gay dude as their representation. Just a 'normal' guy getting involved with another guy or two (or three). Just like the straight characters. Thinking about it, they missed the boat by not having a few other single charcters at the beginning. Maybe Naomi or Ashley could be shown meeting Derek/Jacob and  we could follow their romance. Too many characters were coupled up at the start. As a tattoo hater I was surprised to see Tomas so inked. Don't find it attractive or sexy. I'm surprised an actor would do that as it's definitely a statement and may not be appropriate for some roles. Suppose they can cover if necessary. I didn't buy Kat being all girly and then paying off Darius to get into Eva's room. Way too cliche. She should have just come along when the housekeeping was leaving and breezed in saying it was her room. And her smug looks in the hotel room and 'Now I've got you!!' talks to herself at Orphey Gene's...no.

    • I thought it got stale before Jocks death lol. His death picked things back up for me.
    • 1976 Pt 5 Tony is summoned to the reading of the will in the Llanfair library,as he’s a principal in the will. He tells Joe there’s not a chance of coming to terms with Dorian, as he is sure she brought about Victor’s death by torturing him emotionally when he was her helpless prisoner after his stroke. Ironically, Chapin hand delivers to Viki a letter her father wrote before his stroke, praising Dorian and asking Viki to befriend and support his widow when he was no longer there. Viki feels a responsibility to her father’s wishes and vows to try with Dorian. Victor’s will leaves the expected amounts to members of his family and staff, with the lion’s share of his stock and property going to Dorian. Victor’s will explains that his son Tony expressed the desire that he not be “bought from the grave,” and, in keeping with his son’s wishes, the only bequest to him is the knowledge of his father’s love and respect. Tony is deeply moved. Dorian’s first attempt to use her new power is the recommendation of Peter as head of the Merideth Lord Wolek hospital wing, claiming that naming Larry would be virtual nepotism. Peter, who has devoted considerable time and effort to helping Jenny get over Tim’s death with gentle, affectionate support, is happy at this suggestion, but Jenny points out Dorian is merely using him to hurt Larry. Viki disregards Dorian’s ingenuous assurances that she’s not trying to wield her new power but is merely putting Peter up for consideration for a future opportunity, if not this one, and tells her she won’t be able to fulfill her father’s desire that they be friends unless Dorian stops interfering. Larry, fully understanding Dorian’s personal motives, warns her he’s going to fight for the appointment no matter what. Realizing that she has made a tactical error, Dorian announces that she won’t even attend the board meeting but will give her proxy to Jim. She admits to Matt McAllister, still her confidant, that this was humiliating, but it was a necessary protective tactic. Dorian manages to win her next round at Joe’s office when, after he praises her decision to yield on appointing Peter, she expresses concern for Viki “at a time like this.” Joe, of course, jumps on her words, and Dorian, pretending great distress at having mentioned something she shouldn’t have, is “forced” to explain that she knew about the congenital heart condition Megan had and that any child of Joe’s is likely to inherit it. She overheard the doctors discussing it at the time of the accident, she continues, and naturally assumed that Joe already knew.  Joe arranges a meeting at home with Viki and asks her how she could live a lie like this; how she could go through their lives as if everything were fine while every moment was a lie. He is further upset when, in trying to explain that it was out of her love for him that she kept the truth from him, she mentions that Jim and Larry also know but Cathy still hasn’t been told. Viki tells Joe that Dorian deliberately told him this way to hurt their marriage, and she is very upset when he starts toward the door, pleading that they have always talked things out in the past. Joe coolly points out that she didn’t do that when she learned about Megan and continues out the door.  A tearful Viki is shaken and when Joe later returns, having spent several hours in a bar drinking only soft drinks,she breaks down, crying that she was convinced he’d left her. Joe assures her they can get through this despite everything, because their relation is based on love and mutual respect. 
    • If you think about it, DALLAS and DYNASTY grew stale right about the same time, even if the ratings were slow to reflect that.  FC and KL, on the other hand, tried to stay fresh, but KL was way more successful at it, I think, than FC.  (That [!@#$%^&*] with The Thirteen does not hold up well, lol).
    • GH 1976 Pt 8 Heather takes advantage of the situation by asking Jeff to come and look at Tommy. She uses sympathy, compassion, and her own feminine wiles, together with his misery and his pills, to lure him into bed. Later, sober, he apologizes. Learning from Pearson that Monica has seen a divorce lawyer, Jeff confronts her, and she insists it’s a lie. Avoiding his attempts to kiss her, she musses her hair and tears her blouse, then rushes to Rick’s, claiming that she can’t stay with that maniac any longer. They wind up in Rick’s bed, and after making love he confesses he always loved her. Rick replies to her question of whether he wants to marry her by saying he has to talk to Jeff. Monica insists that Jeff not bear any pressure from their problems. As she leaves, Rick gives her a key to his apartment. Jeff, having spent the night drinking, misses his surgical assignment, and Steve, informing him that his personal life can’t interfere with his profession, puts him on suspension. Rick can’t persuade Steve to reverse his decision, but Mark, sensing what’s at the heart of Jeff’s problem, convinces Steve to lift Jeff’s suspension and transfer him to Mark’s service. Rick asks for his key back, telling Monica they can’t do anything as long as she’s under Jeff’s roof. So she has a duplicate made and moves into intern’s quarters, explaining that Jeff’s violence drove her out. She tells Jeff she needs privacy to work things out, and tells Rick Jeff wanted her out. Thinking that this is the preliminary to a divorce, Rick tells her she can come to his place. In New York, Leslie’s abortion is delayed by a mix-up in scheduling, and she calls Terri to commiserate. Rick overhears Terri’s conversation and forces the whole story from her. He flies to New York to stop Leslie, feeling responsible for pointing out how evil Cam was, and arrives to find that she has decided she can’t deny her child the right to live. Monica, meanwhile, expecting that Rick will be home, uses her key to let herself into his apartment and is shocked to find Mark there; knowing that Mark was uncomfortable at the hotel, Rick offered Mark use of the apartment in his absence. Monica is upset to learn that Rick is in New York with Leslie, and Mark doesn’t know why. Mark does advise Monica to play fair with Jeff, but she resents his interference. The next day, while covering for Leslie at the clinic, Monica discovers Leslie’s lab test report and jumps to the conclusion that the baby is Rick’s. When Rick and Leslie return, Monica wastes no time in accusing him. He is dismayed to see that she is still as suspicious and possessive as she was before he went to Africa, and points out that her making a duplicate  key proves she hasn’t changed. Terri encourages Leslie to see Rick in a romantic light and then suggests to Rick that Leslie is interested in him. Rick likes this idea and tells Mark he’s growing ‘unwilling to cope with Monica’s unreasonable demands. But Monica immediately recognizes the threat Leslie represents and decides to attack. She goes to Leslie and tells her flatly that she and Rick are having an affair and he’s her exclusive property. Leslie, who realizes she has been falling in love with Rick, is hurt, and Rick is mystified when he feels Leslie pulling away from him. Monica’s big moment comes when she brings Rick a housewarming gift and seduces him into letting her stay overnight. She is in the bedroom when Leslie stops by to apologize for refusing his dates, and makes a dramatic entrance into the living room draped in Rick’s bathrobe. Leslie turns and runs out. Rick later informs her he’s disappointed in her, because she prejudged Monica and him rather than giving him the benefit of the doubt. Heather tries to arrange another tryst with Jeff, but he replies that he still loves his wife. Heather decides there’s only one way to get Jeff to be pregnant with his child. She manages to overhear Monica putting Jeff down by telling him he no longer turns her on and should look for someone he does. Heather goes to Jeff and tells him that she heard Monica and that she is the one he’s looking for. She manages to get him into bed again, and sweetly assures him this is right. She then sets the stage for future meetings. Steve, meanwhile, offers to help Monica and Jeff work out their problems. Jeff is willing, but Monica turns the idea down. Instead, she presses Terri to convince Jeff to end the marriage. Terri now knows that Monica isn’t a good wife for Jeff and promises to try. But Jeff makes it clear to Monica that he still loves her and won’t let her go. She is bitter and upset, as she has already implied to Rick that she will soon be free. Audrey is upset to find that Florence Andrews has been inquiring about Tommy and herself. She goes to Florence’s home and finds she’s away now. Florence has gone down to Mexico to sign a sworn statement that she purchased a false death certificate for Tom, to protect his son after his wrongful conviction. Tom, learning from her that Steve and Audrey are to be married and Steve is planning to adopt Tommy, tells  Florence not to do anything, as there’s still no assurance that he’ll ever get out. But the judge does accept the statement, and, ironically, on the day that Steve  and Audrey are married, Tom is released from prison.
    • 1976 Pt 12 Final part Laurie agrees with Stuart that Peggy is rushing into marriage to prove that the rape didn’t ruin her life.  She points out that the only way Peg can be sure is to make love with Jack before the wedding. Stuart admits she’s right but points out that he can’t suggest that to Peggy. As the wedding approaches, Peg seems happy that Jack’s become close to the family. However, her happiness is shattered by a nightmare in which her loving bridegroom turns into a leering Ron Becker, forcing her to cancel the wedding. Jack reassures her he’ll wait as long as it takes, and Chris confides that she and Snapper didn’t consummate their marriage on their wedding night because of her own rape experience, but Peggy tells Chris she might never be ready.  Despite her desire to keep Karen as her own daughter, Chris helps a police artist create a sketch of Nancy so it can be printed in the newspaper as part of a search for her. When the attempt proves fruitless, however, Chris asks Greg to file application for permanent custody of the child. Greg points out that adoption is the only way to prevent Ron from returning and claiming the child, and that it will take quite a while. Meanwhile, a nurse in the psychiatric ward sees a resemblance  between the newspaper drawing and her autistic patient, Mrs. Jackson, but since “Fran” doesn’t respond to the name Nancy and no one else sees the similarity, she fears she’s mistaken. Jill is horrified to overhear Kay, when brihging baby Phillip a Christmas gift, telling the child she remembers the night he was conceived. Kay has to then admit to Jill she saw her with Phillip in the bunkhouse that night. Jill is aghast to realize that Kay new the truth all along and put her through such agony in spite of it, denying her baby his father’s name. Lance tells Laurie they’ll marry on Valentine’s Day. He laughs that it’s corny but agrees, secretly wishing it were sooner, as Vanessa has vowed to prevent it. Indeed, Vanessa makes an unprecedented venture out of the house to visit Brad, telling him to rebuff any advance Leslie might make to him, as she’s reaching out to him only from a sense of duty. But Laurie then makes a concerted effort to reach Vanessa. Without being sure why she’s trying so hard, she tries to assure the woman she’s not losing Lance and she, Laurie, will help her find a plastic surgeon somewhere who can help her. Grudgingly, Vanessa seems to be reconsidering her view of Laurie, and Laurie is delighted when Lance offers her a choice between two diamond necklaces, explaining that her preference will be Vanessa’s Christmas gift. Learning from Les about Brad’s blindness, Stuart tells Brad he could have turned Leslie away only out of great love. Knowing that Les is going to see Brad again, Laurie warns him not to bring the baby into their discussion, as Leslie will come back only she’s convinced he loves her, not for the babies sake. Leslie finds Brad disheveled and sloppy, and proceeds to straighten the apartment, stating that she can't respect him if he lets himself go. Realizing that neither Brad nor Les will make the first move, Laurie hurries things along by refusing to help Brad with his grooming, saying he should ask his wife. Then, having learned  that Brad offered Les the use of their piano, Laurie untunes the Brooks' piano forcing Leslie to accept his offer. By refusing to cater to his  blindness, Les manages to get Brad to stop wallowing in pity, and by the time Leslie’s Christmas braille message of her love and her need for him arrives, they are husband and wife again Lance takes Laurie on a business trip on New Year's Eve, and tells her, on board his plane, she won't be  won't be able to call him “Mr. All Talk and No action” after tonight. When Laurie protests that waited this long and will continue to wait until married, Lance delights her by instructing his pilot to land in Las Vegas, where they are married immediately.
    • Yeah, not sure why Jack and Jen didn’t rush to Marlena - or even Carrie - to offer their condolences. A few flashbacks would've been a nice touch too. Instead, we got a whole episode of them talking about Chad and Abby? Come on. On the bright side, I loved Anna’s scenes with Marlena and Carrie - sweet and heartfelt, felt like a real 80s throwback.
