Don't scare me like that!!!!! It's probably not nice of me to say this, but I'm glad that's what you were talking about. I want him to stay on the show and am mad that they are getting rid of him, but wheh you said it like that I thought it was confirmation that JE is leaving soon or something!!! It still sucks, but it's the lesser of two evils this way... in my opinion.

Thanks for the clips, Ms. Q

WTMF!!! I can't believe they are letting Stuart Damon go. I feel bad for him. Geez, the Quartermaine family is certainly dwindling. I mean, Lila is gone, AJ is gone, Jason has "left" the family, Edward is certainly getting up there in years. He probably wont be around much longer since you can't keep replacing the actor with someone younger and have Tracy's father close to her age. Ned is god knows where. Dillon (who'm I believed for a time they were grooming to take over ELQ - but he's letting his hair grow back gradually so they probably ditched that s/l) is off on some adverture with Lulu, Monica you see once every three months, what the heck!!! And besides Tracy (love that woman!), Monica and Edward and Dillon you have these two transplants Emily and Skye. And of those Q's still left, they only regularly show Dillon, Emily, and Skye. Come on already!! What's happening to our Q family? This is just monumentally unfair!! Poor Stuart. I hope he can get another job. Geez, I'm pissed!

Yes, knh, I was scared too, I thought Ms. Q's post was Tracy related in a negative way - *biting my tongue* - whew!

My letter to Frons and Phelps:

Mr. Frons,

I have just read about the firing of General Hospital veteran Stuart Damon on the TV Guide website. I am hoping this is just a rumor, and that the character of Alan Quartermaine will not be killed off during the February sweeps.

I have only been watching this show for a year, but I have known the name "Alan Quartermaine" since I was a teenager back in the 80s. My sister was hooked on the show, and I promise you--to me, "Alan Quartermaine" did and will always mean "General Hospital." The two are synonymous in my heart, and to kill off the character for a ratings gimmick (or to cut the budget) is abhorrent to me.

A few years back, you removed John Ingle from the GH canvas, much to the outrage of the fans. I notice that John Ingle is back on the show. Today, the rumor is that you will remove Stuart Damon--a man who's been with the show longer than the current writers, a man who is more familiar to the general public than any of the current darlings.

I suspect your email will be full in the next few days, Mr. Frons. Fans are outraged, horrified, and disgusted by this news. Mr. Damon is beloved, a talented actor and fan favorite. Alan Quartermaine is a General Hospital staple, and deserves a true storyline, not an exit plot.

If the rumors of Alan's demise are true, please reconsider. Changes are made all the time in television. Keeping Alan Quartermaine would be a smart, smart decision--at least in the eyes of the people who pay your salary--the fans.

Part 3 (final part) of Scott Clifton's podcast (behind the scenes at Luke/Laura's wedding): http://abc.go.com/fsp/index.html

Some comments:

    Not a super lot of Jane, but you'll get to see her in sun glasses and smiling prettily with Leslie, Natalia, Julie, Jackie, and Becky, with Stuart in the middle.

    Tony Geary might irritate you in the beginning 'cause he refers to this wedding as his second wedding, 25 years after his first. But, since this is an L&L oriented video, I guess I'll ignore it. He can't be like, "Well, actually, since Luke lured Tracy Quartermaine to Vegas last year and tricked her into marriage, this is actually his third wedding."

    I am amused by the people mapping all this out refer to the actors by their character names. "All right. So, Sonny's going to need his cellphone. Carly and Jax are coming from this direction."

    Note Jane fixing up Tracy's hat in the background, LOL.

    Actual filming of Tracy's fall is included. (You'll see this from 4 different views, since they have 4 different cameras.) Someone needs to tell me how a stunt double works. I would assume there would have to be a "Cut!" (and a switch) somewhere along the line, and I didn't see that. It really looked like Jane did the falling down. Oh, and can someone tell me what one of the director people say when this happens? They're either referring to Jane or Bergen (Alice). I don't know. Sounds like, "She's so good." Or maybe they're talking about the invisible stunt double, LOL.

    Night time: Jane's lucky. Probably at home and done for the day. But Ingo is too cute. He's cold. He and Becky have these robes on. Why is the director person saying "Maurice, here, Becky, go to Genie. Hey, Lucky. Go to your sister." Poor Greg and Julie too, I guess. Everyone gets to have their real names except them. Just thought that was strange.

    Wrap-up: Screenshots of the cast. Leslie and Jane are together. Very unflattering photo of both women. Maybe Scott caught them off guard, LOL?

Keith!!! I knew you would love it! I made Tracy green just for you! :D Well, she wasn't green at first, but then smirks showed me how to add effects to WMM, and I was like, "I need to make Tracy green for part of this video." LOL. Thanks for the feedback!

MinervaFan, lovely letter. *claps* No fic from me. Sorry. :( I have to figure out if Tracy's really in character or not before continuing. I guess if I even have to question it, I should change it. I emailed you, BTW. *smiles*

knh, I hope you enjoy your "day off!" ;)

Nice avatar, Lady Ashton! :)

Zanne, about the campaign. I mentioned it at SOC, and I already got people emailing me for more information. :D

Edited 'cause I wanted to add some stuff.

So on my day off I.... (feel like I'm writing a first grade back to school essay!)... drew!!

big surprise there, huh?!

I'm on a break and then have about 5 minutes of drawing left and I am done for at least a month!!!! that's what I'm giving myself for Christmas, a one month drawing break. I think I am going to post the pic when I finish cuz I want a final critique before I give it to her on Saturday. I feel like I'm back in classes with the crits. They were annoying as hell, but helpful.

ps. we have 4 days left!!!!

I'm finished and I just uploaded the picture. I need critiques so help me out please!!! Just so you know, the girl on the right's head looks awkward b/c i haven't darkened the background, but I can't do that until I get fedback so I can spray it with fixitive.

I really hope that the mother isn't on this site b/c I probably shouldn't put this pic up, but I need some feedback.

Kind of OT-My Yahoo! email account, for whatever reason, is not being nice. I keep getting this message: Sorry for the inconvenience. You've stumbled upon a temporary problem we're having with Yahoo! Mail. Usually this problem gets resolved quickly, without you doing a thing. In fact it may be taken care of now. There are some steps included to fix the problem (refresh the page, log out, log in again), but I'm not having luck. I've sent an "error report," but we'll see. *shrugs* So...Until it's fixed (whenever that is), you can contact me via PM. Oh...This is so not good. I have these fans at SOC emailing me for campaign information, and here I can't even access my email. :(

knh, you are brilliant! The linked worked, but I wouldn't recommend those with dial-up try to load it. It's a VERY large file.

Zanne, at first I thought that conversation with Lulu/Diego took place on GH today, and then I realized that Diego is dead, and that you were talking about your story.

Speaking of Tracy mentions on GH, Carly said her name yesterday. Jax wanted her to leave the seating arrangements up to the wedding planner (I think, I didn't actually watch). And Carly had a line about "Come on. Do you really want a stranger deciding who's going to sit next to Tracy Quartermaine?"

*waves to hookedongh*

Edit: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! People are so smart. I searched the email problem on Yahoo!. Some other people have had the same problem and in a Yahoo! Question/Answer forum thing, I found possible solutions! The first couple didn't work, but the last one did! :D

    • @Toups Tyler Topits listed in alpha order with the breakdown writers 5/12 Monday episode. O'Connor still listed as both breakdown and script writer. Kreizman wrote today's script.
    • Marland was long gone by this point.  He quit in either August/September 1982. I think it was due to letting the actress play out her contract and use her for party scenes and/or scenes with Phillip/Justin.   I was surprised she was still on in June 1983 myself, because I figured she had been written out before Pam Long joined the writing staff. Thankfully, having episodes uploaded during this period on Spauldingfield YT site has helped to connect some of the dots.  It looks as though Pam Long starts the first week or so of May 1983.. and in those first few weeks: Morgan and Evie were both written off and Lillian/Mindy/Billy/Beth/Annabelle all come onto the show.

    • I can't watch until later (Canada issues). What is Philip's motivation for stealing the drug? Only plot I cared about today and you did not mention it 
    • Doug III’s first day of work. Hope he does a good job… or that Tate tries to sabotage him somehow

      His scenes with Holly were nice though. They’re sweet together and I understand why some people think that they have more chemistry than Tate/Holly do. And I liked that Doug III opened up to her about his past. Maybe that could lead to something good happening in the future.  I also enjoyed Roman and Kate, and how they’re both being tied into EJ’s shooting. The mystery of it all is really compelling. I don’t think Roman is the shooter though either.  I didn’t have much sympathy for Kristen though. She has no one to blame for Rachel’s problems than herself. But at the same time, I’m really surprised that Days actually remembered the Alex/Kristen fling. I thought Ron had erased that from existence. I’m not shipping them at all, but I’m definitely shipping a permanent end to Brady/Kristen but after today, I’m not so sure about that either.  And, Johnny and Chanel were still great together

    • Some country club revelation thoughts from a casual watcher no one asked for. The Great: Daphnee Duplaix gave the best performance we've seen yet. Nicole's dialogue was also well thought out and felt character specific. TJ Maxx Ted was also pretty good. Trisha Mann-Grant steals every scene she's in. Often without even trying. Carrying multiple episodes worth of exposition heavy soap dialogue with starts and stops and recapping and drama and humor is no small feat and she nailed. Vernon telling Lesliana to STFU.  The Bad: So much of the dialogue for the rest of the cast was overly written. Martin said "You are a vile human being with a hole in your heart!". Marty, what are we doing? It's SO dramatic and sounds so silly coming from this grown man. Do Bill and Hayley do anything but talk about the Duprees? And the nerve of her to get so excited to find out Ted is a cheater when she and her husband are too. There should be a hint of shame mixed in with your glee, ma'am. The Questionable: Coffee and a rendition of Amazing Grace after finding out Nicole was betrayed by her husband. The Duprees are an odd bunch. The stinger of one segment had Anita prepared to lambast Lesliana, when we came back someone else was talking. When Anita eventually said something to Wig, it was a lukewarm at best. And then of course she thought singing a song about something that should absolutely not be extended to her son-in-law. The entire family allowing this deranged woman to speech at them in their own was...nuts. I know she said something about what would the neighbors say but my GOD. Is she just going to be allowed to trespass whenever she feels like it now? The focus on Leslie and her wig usage as an oddity is...odd. I think Chelsea said something like "and she wears wigs!" (while wearing a buss down middle part). Okay? It's just not that odd for a black woman to change up her hair. It's the different names that's the problem. I know it's meant to be humorous, in a throwback soap kind of way, but it fell flat for me.  I'm sorry I find the whole family to be WEIRD. It's like they want us to see them as ruthless yet benevolent, open yet furtive, snobbish yet tooth achingly sweet all at the same time. I cannot get a lock on the family dynamics. Everyone is just there.  I'm gonna cry if this show doesn't start giving us ages (or close to it!) for these characters. Because if Eva is 21-22 then Martin was being given crayons, a soda pop and blinders when he was 15-17 years old. Martin had to have been under 8 for me to buy this story, which would make Eva and Kat late 20s (Martin is at least 35 since he wants to run for president), which I don't think they're meant to be. It's honestly minor but it bothers me. I've mentioned this to @Vee but I think the optics on opening the show with both sisters discovering their husbands of over 30 years are cheaters should've been considered. I doubt there was any intention behind it, no one's rubbing their hands together as they scheme to say the married black men can't stay loyal but how does it look? Maybe it's just me. Honestly it's probably just me!
