Heeeeeeyyyyyyyy everyone!!! Miss me much, lol!? I hope everyone's holidays were fun and....happy.

Sadly enough there's not much recent Tracy stuff to talk about. Surprising right. But hopefully 2007 will be an awesome Tracy-filled year. Hey a girl can dream right.

OMG I soooo don't want Stuart Damon to leave. But maybe just maybe it'll give us some amazing Tracy scenes as only JE can do.

*sighs and sings off-key an awesome song I have stuck in my head*

ILTQ, I have no problem with venting. I do have problem with negativity that runs out of control. I have had to leave chats, stop going to boards, and even cut ties with friends on account of intense negativity in the past. There's a line between normal expression and seeing the absolute worst in every situation. This board is very good about it, but there are many boards out there where it's common practice to trash actors, bash characters, flame members, and just cause overall disharmony.

FWIW, I suffer from clinical depression and have a tendency toward negativity. In my case, too much of it can be deadly. For my own peace of mind, I have to be diligent.

I do not presume to tell other people what to feel or what is appropriate when expressing themselves.

But I can and will monitor my own expression, for my health's sake. I will also remove myself from situations that become too negative, because my brain chemistry causes me enough pain without help from others.

Just my two cents.

SID: With Jason's relunctant permission, Sam takes a job with the Qs. Tracy hates her. She's got a strange job with Edward.

Nothing we don't know...

SOW: Tristan Rogers says that with the consultants, he hopes he'll get a story since Y&R is a different soap than GH.

Does that mean we really are getting Jack Smith?!? Jack Smith, who LOVES families and corporate stories? Our girl, of course, fits into both!

Debbie I totally understand.

And I need to take another break ya'll.

Sometimes, it's needed to maintain my sanity. *shrug*

And I need it.

*waves to angel* Good ta see ya !

Hola Todos, just popping in.. not home yet.

Okay.. here is my (POSTIVE!!!) take on all the spoilers and spumors:

We have confirmation of a certain spoiler...

_

_

_

_

_

From Wizard/Merlin: Sam quits working at the hospital, and Edward hires her to work at ELQ. Needless to say Tracy is not happy. Since Wizard gets breakdowns, it's safe to assume this will air (or at least begin to air) within the next 2 weeks. And now, I quote SoapDish:

• It'll be the best thing that will ever happen to the Q's. IF Sam is in a storyline with them then its almost guaranteed their airtime will double, or triple.
  
  --This is GOOD!!!!!!!! This is very good. Any Tracy in anyway, especially when she's teamed with a "hot" character is good. Dueling divas... it's a soap... what more could we ask for while Luke is away (actually a lot more, but THIS IS GOOD!)
  
  --Oh, on the hospital/hostage thing --- Luke comes back around Feb 7, right? (Did I make that up?!?!) Anyway, he likely comes back to SAVE THE DAY!! And Tracy will be on the outside 'helping' and after Luke risks his neck becomes the BIG HERO there will be lots of celebratory LuNacy Sex!!! Trust me on this folks.. I FEEL IT!!!
  
  --Also, I'm very glad-- if it's true-- that Alan dies while he is INSIDE the hospital and not because he's being arrested for Rick's murder. (I mean I DON'T want Alan to die, but if he has to go I don't want it to be connected to Rick's death!) If that is true, that too is VERY GOOD NEWS!!!! I was a little concerned that Luke would turn against Tracy if her brother framed 'dear Laura' for a murder HE committed. SO -- I really really hope Alan didn't off Rick. Judging from today, I don't think Alan did it. As Dillon pointed out, it's almost too obvious. Either Monica or Scotty did it OR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Laura actually did it, which would be great for us Tracy lovers. Totally great (decreases the odds of her coming back, IMHO)!
  
  On other things:

  Oh, and a fic update to those who weren't in the Break Room last night--the AU story has taken a spin in my head, and it's actually going to be longer than I thought. Marco and Tracy have put a spin on the storyline, and I can't go back now. At this time, the story is 87 pages long (38,800 words), and it's about 2/3 of the way through. I'm not sure how long the final draft will be, but it will be LONG, a short novel. Not sure how this happened, not sure why I'm doing this to myself, but there we are.

  
  Wanna share, Deb? I LOVE the Tracy you have in that story, and I would LOVE to read whatever else you have added while I am on vacation.
  
  Oh -- the "Island" story is nearly completely written in my head..... it's a totally believable and plausible "May scene" for LuNacy. It "works." Now.. if only I were near a computer..... (Oh.. I now believe the "May scene will happen late February.. you heard it here first! )
  
  I will say that Susan Lucci had a (very brief) naked bed scene with her hubby today. Susan has got to be near Jane's age. Hey.. if La Lucci can get one, so can Janie!!!!!!!!!!!!! I"M POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!
  
  Ta ta from La La Land,
  Lainey!

ILoveTracyQ, you better come back the minute Tracy returns to our screens.

Lainey, I think you totally made that date up. LOL! Luke's back at the end of January, and February is going to be one day in GH Land. Each episode is going to be one actual hour in real life time. There's an interview somewhere of TG suggesting that soaps go the "24" route. Or something along those lines. Anyway, I just found it today, and SoapDish is speculating that it might have been TG's idea and that he will behind the scenes for most of this. That doesn't mean we can't see Tracy though. She'll be on the outside. She HAS to be.

Breakroom, anyone?

http://pub13.bravenet.com/chat/show.php/1049349012

Awww Staci. I love your banner. And you're about to get a PM.

Aww, slow day today.

Hey, look at my banner in my signature. Yeah, I cheated. It's almost like my Xmas one.

I got clips!!! Originally mentioned in this thread, the site has been having problems since October. I've been checking on and off, and guess what? IT'S WORKING!!!

Follow these directions:

You'll want the GH episode of Monica when she has AJ during the blizzard:

• Click the photo of Lesley.
• On the right side, under Proxies, you'll see Windows Media 400kbps [play].
• Click [play].

Not sure how it is going to work for those on dial-up. I also wouldn't try rewinding/fastforwarding until it plays through once. It lasts about 45 minutes. Anyway, you'll get Tracy/Edward, Mitch/Susan, Alan/Rick, Monica/Lesley/Gail, Bobbie/Luke, and some combinations of the aforementioned groups. Enjoy!

First off, I haven't been on for a while, so I hope everyone had a great holiday... or just a great few days if you don't celebrate anything. I've been sick, so I haven't been able to get on, but I had a great Christmas (surprising, since this holiday, while we all love it, is notoriously and traditionally bad at my house).

Now, am I the only one that this site isn't working for??? I get as far as all the last step and then i keep getting no search results. I've tried putting in a lot of different things in the search, but I get nothing. Please let me know if you know what I'm doing wrong or if anyone has had the same problem.

OMG. GH is doing a "24" series for Feb sweeps? *thinking back to thehideous green animal that died around Tracy's neck during the Monkey Fever storyline*

Please Please Please, Tawny Madison. If we're going to see Tracy in the same outfit for 24 episodes, PLEASE make it a sexy one! Or at least a flattering one? PLEASE?

*waves to Lainey*

knh, I tried the site and am not having problems. Did you follow these directions?

On the search, set INDEX CLASS to "Radio, TV, News". Set MEDIA to "TV". Hit "search" and the search window should refresh. Set PROGRAM TYPE to "Daytime Drama" and hit "search" again. All of the online episodes available for viewing should appear listed in the right frame.

Hope you get it to work! And I hope you feel better soon.

About the 24 hour/Wardrobe thing...I doubt Tracy will be on for 24 episodes in a row, although it's a nice thought. As for the actual outfit, Dead!Animal Sweater is her "disaster gear." She wore it for the train wreck AND the virus SL, so she might just wear it again for the hostage situation. And if she does, I seriously will be laughing out loud. LOL.

Edit: Page 216!

Edited December 28, 200618 yr by Ms. Quartermaine

Crack me the fohrk up, MsQ. I never even thought of it that way. Didn't she also wear it the day Bobbie threatened to b*tchslap her all the way to the Canadian border? Or was the GREY dead animal choking her on that day?

I didn't think she'd be on for 24 days in a row (gawd, I hate the "24" premise SOOOO much--what a gimmick), just that she'd be wearing the same outfit everytime she showed up during that month. And with Tawny Madison dressing them, it'll probably jungle prints and a babushka. Or an oriental print mou-mou with black slacks underneath.

OH PLEASE let her come over from a business meeting at ELQ wearing her Olive!Suit!!!!!! I've been very good this year, Santa, and I won't ask for anything else ALL YEAR LONG....

ETA: I am so making a liar of myself.

Santa, cover your ears.

MsQ, is there anyway (pretty pretty please) that you could make a 100x100 LJ sized version of your new avatar? Or could I just steal it at the current size? I'm so madly fracking in love with it. Puh-lease?

Santa, you can listen again. I was serious about that black business suit with the yummy skirt. SERIOUS, dude. And I've been very good.

GH only gets TG a few months out of the year, and people actually tune in to see him. NO WAY they'll let him disappear behind the camera during the time he's actually working. NO WAY! He may do some directing type stuff, but it would be in addition to the on screen stuff. I AM CERTAIN!

Ha! 20 bucks says it's that black and white jacket she wears every third appearance. You know, the one she was wearing on the Christmas episode (I also think it's the one she's wearing in your banner, Minerva.)

Oh, Minerva, I just read all your AU emails. THANK YOU!!! How delicious! I am SOOOOO waiting for more. Yummy Yummy Fun!!

Edited December 28, 200618 yr by LaineyBev714

Thanks for the help Ms. Q. I don't know what I was doing differently before, but it works now, so thanks.

I have one more question for you all if anyone knows the answer. It's probably a lame question b/c my sister said I can't do it, but I'd like to think she is wrong. I just got my ipod for christmas and I was wondering if and how I can upload the video files that we've put up here and load them onto my ipod. My sis says I can't do it with videos. I can put the songs from my cd's and my wmp onto itunes to load, but I have to buy my videos to be ab;e to use them with my ipod. I realy hope she is wrong or that someone here can tell me how to do it. Thanks so much

MinervaFan, how's this?

It's 100x75. I wanted to keep it proportional, and I couldn't do that with 100x100.

Lainey, all right. I like your version of what's going to happen better than mine, so I'll take your word.

More on Wardrobe: Nah, I don't think it'll be here black/white "Almost Kiss-I miss Luke-Xmas" outfit. And that's not as overused as some of the other ones. Mainly this (which I made a while back)...

7 times...Plus, the time I forgot to include (it was a Georgie/Dillon/Tracy scene in Kelly's, in my For Good video). So that makes 8. Anyway, I. Am. So. Totally. Not. Obsessed. With. Tracy's. Wardrobe. Nope. Nope. Nope.

knh, I think you can 'cause someone here did so before when she uploaded three episodes of THE CITY for us. I don't know how though.

~In honor of the upcoming Sam/Tracy scenes~

Tracy : Aren't you petite? No bigger than a china doll and about as intimidating as well.

Sam: Yeah? Well, my fist isn't made of china. Is your face?

Tracy : And belligerent, too. Do you scratch and spit?

Tracy: …I couldn't decipher your handwriting. It leaves a little something to be desired. However, I did get the feeling that you must be a devotee of romance novels. It's the only explanation I could come up with for the flowery sentiment.

Sam (to Jax): …I left the cards and she stole them.

Tracy: I prefer to think of it as safekeeping.

Sam: And she read my letter.

Tracy: Oh, let me summarize. She's sorry she lied and killed your father. She thinks you're amazing in and out of bed and she's never going to forget you. But I don't believe it, do you? I didn't think so. Bye-bye.

Jax: To the power of seduction.

Tracy: And to the tacky little cow who didn't hold out for dinner…I have to admit, I'm impressed.

Jax: Thank you.

Tracy: You have Sam exactly where you want her and I bet she'd jump through hoops to keep you.

Jax: Well, that could get very interesting.

Tracy: Especially when she trips and falls.

(Jax/Sam on a desk…Use your imagination)

Jax: Did the door lock behind you?

Tracy: Unfortunately, for the rest of us, that would be a no. I am impressed with your proficiency. Do you watch a lot of porn?

Jax: You know, it is customary to knock before entering a room.

Tracy: Well, believe me, I do apologize. However, this is your boardroom. It didn't occur to me that you would be making out with -- what is that outfit? Secretary? Call girl? Help me here.

Tracy (to Jax about Sam): ...Little Miss What's-Your-Pleasure lost the cards and the gambling rights to Luke...

Tracy: Why don't you go off in the corner and file your nails until Jax needs your [pause] services.

Tracy: Why are you everywhere and what are you doing here?

Tracy: Why the long face, little pirate? This is your lucky day.

Tracy: I just got your message. You left the hospital to go diving again?

Sam: Oh -- if you're going to tell me I should've waited until I was fully recovered --

Tracy: Not at all. Risk your health all you want. What about the treasure?

Sam: I never got close. I was trying to find my way on to the Courage but that's when the explosion went off and it knocked me out, so I didn't --

Tracy: Well, the night is still young, Sammy.

And that’s about all. Not to depress anyone or anything, but Tracy was on A LOT in late November/December 2003. If I had to guess the average, I’d say 4 days each week. She interacted with the Quartermaines, Sam/Jax, and Dillon/Georgie/Sage. Bits and pieces with Luke and Scott. Storyline might have been crap, but at least she was on. Anyway…I gotta work on being positive. So…YAY! We have Tracy spoilers! Finally!
