Mitch was running for Senator when Tracy was involved with him. I think Luke actually worked for Mitch at one point. I know he was having an affair with Susan Moore during his marriage/engagement to Tracy (what a shocker). I don't remember too much else about him, other than he was blonde and not cute at all IMO!! I think Mitch was mob-connected somehow. I think ladya would know more....email her!

Okay I didn't watch, but I saw something that Tracy said "she wished luke would go missing for seven years so she could declare him dead!" I am guessing that is where the spoiler that said Tracy says Luke is dead to her came from. Everyone on the other boards were saying "Go Tracy!" She was taking any [!@#$%^&*] from him today!

They better be on tomorrow to follow this up. Monica is supposed to drink and drive tomorrow and Monday I think...

I am sure Remos is writing a recap as we speak...my kids will be home in a second so I can't read it yet...but did Tracy tell Luke that Monica froze her assets? Did they say where Tracy was living or where they were gonna go??

I knew I wasn't going to like this show...

1. Monica in living room getting a drink. Ed comes in and says that won't take the pain away. Luke walks in a says" Hello family in law, I'm home." "Not any more", responds Monica.

2. nothing

3. Luke asks if they tossed his Pretty Pink Popsicle to the wolves. He'll follow right behind her says Monica. The she tells him about the lawsuit, where Luke says he'll talk to Tracy to get it all worked out. Monica says it's more than that, it's the will. Luke says if that's the case they'll just reshuffle the money. Monica says not good enough, they messed with her husbands Will, his last thoughts, his last wishes. Then she says Alan's gone, Emily's gone and now she wants Luke and Tracy gone. Lulu comes in happy to see her dad and wonders what's wrong. Mon says she'd know if she slept there regularly. Ed says her father and step-mother have been kicked out but she can stay and live a better life than with her father. Lulu stands defiant and says she'll go with her father (no mention of Tracy AT ALL).

4. nothing

5. Alice tells Luke he can stay with her wrestling friend then leaves. Lulu asks him why he did it, so Luke starts to talk about the Will. Lulu says no, why did you leave. He says he needed is freedom from the medical restrictions, and the people who care about him, Lulu asks. Yeah, he admits he needed his freedom from the "Hovering Hordes". Lulu says she can go with Nicholas or Logan, Luke suggests they go with Lucky, though that may be too inconvenient. "Inconvenient for whom? Him or you?" Tracy enters and she's not happy too see him - tone very angry.

6. "Spanky, you look incredible. So great..." Luke starts. Ed and Alice come in wondering why she's back. She want the jewellery she inherited from her mother. Ed says she's not touching one bit of Lila's jewels to hock. Monica comes in asking why the "Litigious Cow" is in her house. She's calling the police to get her removed. Tracy says she's back to get the rest of her belongings, Mon gives her 5 minutes, then leaves with Ed and Alice. She turns to Luke and asks how he's feeling, acting coy. Lukey gets excited and says he's feeling great. Good, she says, then grabs him painfully and pushes him back on a chair. Luke is stunned and Tracy glares at him.

7. Luke says that wasn't exactly the welcome home he was expecting. Tracy counters that this was not the marriage she was expecting. Then recounts their history together, finishing with her wish that he either divorce her or stay away for 7 years so she could have him declared dead because that's what he is to her. She takes off her rings (waaaa.....) and drops them into his drink (yes, he gets liquor). He looks at her as she leaves, then looks at the rings in his glass.

Previews: nothing

From what I can see, those mediapics were from today.

Kate walked in front of the Brownstones - outside.

EDIT

Ah, you know me so well...

Tracy hasn't given Luke any information. He hasn't asked why she wanted to pawn stuff. I think he's stunned that she's mad. So, we know nothing.

Jax is back in town, however, and I'm sure he arranges the room for Tracy.

Tomorrow is "Diva doesn't get to watch" day - Sonny and Claudia and lots of skin

Ya know what gets me angry :angry: .......Monica isn't just kicking Tracy out because of the law suit but also because she helped Luke change Alan's will, which by the way was almost a year ago. But you would think given the fact that Monica currently hates her precious Jason, Luke or Tracy would tell her exactly what/who Alan left everything to. I think if Monica knew the truth she would end up thanking Tracy instead of freezing all her assets.

Okay without watching it and just reading your recap Remos...here is my first impression take on the situation!!

This is soap 101 girls....have a contrived break up, so that there can me a whole road to make up. I mean REALLY think about it. If they were going to be breaking them up for good and this was it, they would end it in a more touching, sad way of them being emotional, going their separate ways. Not this volatile anger on Tracy's part. How dramatically Tracy to drop the rings and make her snarky remarks. She is pissed, not only at luke now but at her financial situation. And she is humiliated too. Her family is against her and she is going into her survival bitch scrappy mode!!!

Also note, she didn't say she is divorcing him right...she said she wished he would divorce her or go missing for seven years. Now I know not all of you are married, but I have threated the "D" word a time or two in my married life and yelled and screamed and ranted and raved and brought up all kinds of crap that I really didn't mean when I am angry and venting.

Think about it...this is setting up for weeks of them going back and forth. For luke to realize what he lost. It is classic soap angst. So let's not get discouraged yet. We knew it was coming.

At least Tracy was the one to give it to him. Not the other way around. We would be dying and depressed if he gave her the ole heave ho and was like "Im not cut out for marriage, I gotta be free, etc" At least the ball is in Luke's court and Tracy has the upperhand for the first time in a long time I think. Love the power shift!!

BUT WE SHOULD ALL CALL THE COMMENT LINES today and every day for the next few weeks saying we love Tracy standing up for herself, but we want Luke/Tracy to stay together!!

In fact I am doing that right now!!!

monica so sux. what the hell she takes no responsiblty for trying to kill him talking about he would have died in his bed waiting for dr. leo, yeah right. i so cant stand her. YUCK!!!!

amd yeah tracy was mad at luke but she so doesnt want to end it with him. she is trying to give him the reason to leave her, saying i wish u would divorce me. and i wish u would stay gone. she loves luke so much that she would never end it. i guess she is so used to men dumping her that shes trying to give him a way out cause she cant do it.

and when is the reunion cause i can't take this angst!!!!!!!!!!!!

My boss left to a meeting so I got a chance to download today's clips and edit them! Here they are!

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KJJEIHEC

Credit goes to Izzy, edited by me.

Hooked, I agree with you this break isn't a break-up, it’s just some drama that needs to go down to eventually bring them back together. I was annoyed with Lulu, it’s no shocker, but Lulu didn't move out of the house as a sign of solidarity toward Tracy it was solely for Luke. Grrrrr! It was like she completely forgot about Tracy when she suggested that she and Luke move in with Lucky. :angry: That little B**** needs to go and get herself strangled by the TMK.

Exactly funny...she is being all dramatic throwing her rings at him...if she really wanted out, she would have already had divorce papers drawn up...she could have done that while she was getting the lawsuit filed!! She just effectively put the ball in his court! Surely lukey is gonna go find her tomorrow don't you think? If not tomorrow, then Monday for sure...

Monica is on tomorrow and Monday I think...Tracy gets her suspened I think next Tuesday. Surely Luke is gonna go find his spankybuns...guess not testing it out any time soon eh funny???

I heard she looked good today though!!! At least lukey liked her new do!!

Thanks NEX for the clips. Freaking lulu...maybe she will show some support for Tracy later and tell Luke he needs to fight for her. I bet Luke and Lulu go to the Haunted Star. Damn doesn't bobbie have an entire brownstone???

He surely needs to ask where Tracy is? He doens't even know she has frozen assets yet. He better spot her some money from his secret stash.

Spot Tracy some money? How do you think he's been living these past 3 years? He doesn't have a purse let alone strings.

Kate was in front of the Brownstone set today... I was so excited.

As for classic soap, you are so right. I didn't like this show at all, but I didn't turn it off either. They are setting it up - and remember what happened a year ago? Luke returned and put their marriage in HER hands. Now she's put their marriage in HIS. Neither one of them are going for the lawyers, although Tracy probably has her's on speed dial.

BTW, thanks for the clips, Nex.

One more thing...watching a 1991 dvd today...so Alan and Monica are getting remarried...they tell Tracy and she is like "Have you both had lobotomies? It didn't work the first time, what makes you think this time is going to be any different?" Then A&M get into a fight at teh hospital and come home and say it is off. Ttracy is like "Did he cheat on you already?" Too funny.

God she was so gorgeous with that long dark hair!!!! Ah...still lamenting the haircut....but I guess Lukey liked it huh? Her hair does grow fast.

Call the comment line guys!!!

    • Article discussing the state of daytime in 1971. The 3 networks were competitive for the first time thus leading to the 'daytime wars' of the 70's, with shows cancelled, soaps expanding etc. The high drama of network daytime CBS, reigning champion of the dollar -profitable weekday schedule, faces toughest challenge in 13 years. Although CBS is virtually unchallenged as the ratings leader in nighttime, the picture in daytime, where CBS also leads, is as different as day from night. To begin with, costs of programing are much lower in daytime than in nighttime TV, and the profitability thus potentially higher. For this reason alone, network rivalry in this area is traditionally intense, although not so frequently subject to public view. This year, particularly, the developments in daytime programing are dramatic. It is the first time in 13 years that CBS has been threatened seriously. It continues in the leadership position, but both NBC and ABC are nipping at its heels; in the season to date, CBS is but three tenths of a percentage point ahead of NBC, and but two-thirds of a percentage point in front of ABC. Average ratings for network programing in the daytime periods (Monday - Friday, 10 a.m. -4:30 p.m. EST) this season stand at CBS 7.6, NBC 7.3 and ABC 7.0, giving CBS an edge of 4% above NBC and 9% over ABC. In the similar period of 1970, CBS's lead was more impressive: 8.4 vs. NBC's 6.9 and ABC's 5.9. It is necessary to go back 13 years to find an NBC daytime performance comparable to this year's -and only twice within that period has NBC showed up as well. In the 1958 -59 sea- son, CBS and NBC were in a tie-a 7.7 rating for each -while ABC was a poor third, just starting on its historic "Operation Daybreak" (in which ABC began the so- called scatter plan in daytime, with advertisers buying participations). ABC's rating then: 3.6. NBC again broke through in daytime in the 1961 -62 season: CBS 7.6, NBC 7.1 and ABC 4.1. In the intervening years, daytime television on the weekdays belonged to CBS. It was at perhaps the crest of its leadership in the 1965 -66 season. CBS then had a 4.5 percentage -point advantage over NBC (CBS 10.6, NBC 6.1 and ABC 4.7). CBS officials place the "big turn" in daytime in the 1962 -63 season with the catchy power of the Password game in the lineup. In that season, CBS came up with a three -percentage -point lead over NBC -CBS 9.2, NBC 6.2 and ABC 3.9. From then on it was CBS by a comfortable margin, season after season. ABC's daytime performance has followed the upward curve. While -as CBS officials readily concede -CBS had perhaps nowhere to go but down, ABC could experiment in its scheduling, and hopefully only go up. It did, but not immediately. After a steady climb, ABC's breakthrough occurred in the 1969 -70 season (CBS 9.2, NBC 7.1 and ABC 7.0) with the network gaining ground with its game show scheduling of such vehicles as Let's Make a Deal. Although ABC failed to hold that showing in the 1970 -71 season (CBS 8.9, NBC 7.6 and ABC 6.4), it is now performing at its best daytime level in history. ABC authorities say that network has been building for what might appear to be at least near parity in weekday programing. They cite Let's Make a Deal as having "started things up" with General Hospital and One Life to Live giving additional impetus to the movement. From ABC's point of view, the crucial change in daytime audiences occurred in 1969 when audience shares foretold a "big difference." The real improvement and change in daytime, they say, started in the third quarter of 1971. That followed a repositioning of two daytime staples -ironically Password, CBS's 1962 -63 vintage powerhouse, and Love, American Style. The former series was punched into a new spot in the schedule last spring: Love followed in the summer (the series is still strong in ABC's nighttime lineup). Although ABC executives speak guardedly of daytime audiences more on a level with those of CBS and NBC, the two challenged networks demur. ABC, they note, is nowhere near parity in daytime, although the improvement is admittedly impressive. For one thing, they contend, ABC does not program during the same hours as do NBC and CBS, and ABC carries one hour less than the other two networks in the daytime period. Moreover, they claim the hours that ABC does not program are those with least audience potential. (CBS and NBC start the schedule - excluding Today on NBC and Captain Kangaroo on CBS-at 10 a.m., take a hiatus for a half -hour at 1 p.m., return at 1:30 and program through to 4:30 p.m. ABC starts at 11:30 a.m., does not pause at 1 p.m. but continues through to 4:30.) ABC counters that not only are daytime clearances holding this season, they are actually showing improvement. In numbers, ABC is clearing an average 153 stations live (88.2% coverage) and an average 26 outlets delayed basis (4.4% coverage) for a total 179 stations representing a 92.6% coverage. Last season, clearances were 149 stations live (87.7% coverage), 27 on delays (4.4% ) for a total 176 stations representing a 92.1% coverage. NBC authorities state flatly that their network is in its "strongest daytime position in 10 years -since late 1961." They note how the margin has narrowed between NBC and CBS since last fall; assert NBC has invested money and time in daytime serials, while CBS's "are wearing thin" (the researchers at NBC point to a general lowering of share levels of CBS drama serials in 1971 vs. 1970). ABC's assessment agrees, and also emphasizes the drop in appeal of CBS's soaps, intimating a possible loss in "quality control." CBS, while not denying the declines in its soaps, refuses to accept the implication that the drama serial may be curtailed. (CBS has eight soaps compared with NBC's five and ABC's three). Four of CBS's shows are Procter & Gamble vehicles: As the World Turns, Search for Tomorrow, Guiding Light and Edge of Night. CBS authorities say you can be sure P &G as well as CBS programers are working on plans to strengthen their respective properties. CBS officials contend the drama serial not only is still well up in share (although off from prior years) at the network but continues as the most "flexible" among daytime entries. If a game show starts to plummet, they say, there's not much that can be done to "change" the format. With soaps, a fall -off in viewer interest can be countered by extensive changes in storyline and /or characters; a role can be written in or out of a script almost at will. CBS cites just such a turnaround accomplished with Love is a Many  Splendored Thing. Fred Silverman, then in charge of daytime programing at CBS (and now in charge of the whole ball game), effected a series of changes until "only the title and the music were recognizable." The surgery worked. For years, CBS has been conscious of the adage that change for the sake of change, when the network is on top, entails needless risk. But the numbers have changed now and CBS must contend with the altered picture. "Everybody is ashamed of daytime," one CBS executive admits. Changes will be made. The first quick snip comes Dec. 20 when My Three Sons replaces The Beverly Hillbillies in the 10:30 -11 a.m. period. Hillbillies is one of three shows rated lowest on the CBS daytime schedule -the others are the seemingly tireless Lucy and Gomer Pyle (the latter, at least, considered by CBS officials as a candidate for cancellation.) Snips two, three and onward may be expected to follow in rapid succession.
    • That's me - in a nutshell. But, it's because BTG is so damn good! I also wondered who was watching soccer during the day, mid-week, or even watching soccer at all. However, I know SOOOO many people that never followed soaps that were downright shocked that a new soap premiered in 2025. Why? Because they didn't know that people still watch TV during the day, mid-week, or still watched soaps at all. Many also didn't realize that soaps streamed, too. So, I feel foolish, but I guess I don't have all the answers with regard to the programming of major TV networks. I'm glad they have people that focus on these things, because that is how we got BTG in the first place.
    • Kelly looks so good in today’s episode (taped mid-March). I’ve always maintained Kelly looks fab in blue, and when they keep her hair straight like this. When they curl her hair, I feel it doesn’t suit her beautiful face.

    • Thank you @BoldKara. I hadn’t realised it’s only a few months away with the current YouTube uploads. I’m happy to wait until then - hopefully they won’t skip the episode this time around. 
    • Am I the only one welcoming the preemptions because I've been mad busy and have to catch up on over a week of episodes? Just saying.

    • No. Agnes Nixon had worked on a number of shows before creating OLTL (and AMC, which she had in her drawer waiting to come to life). AW was only one of them. Many classic soaps have personnel coming across back and forth all over the map, it's not a unique situation. And to my knowledge very few of the head creative teams at AW came to OLTL. If you're thinking of Harding Lemay, he did only a very brief consulting stint in '98 and maybe '99, and clearly had little actual impact on the writing. Paul Rauch was also a different EP at AW than he was at OLTL, GL, Santa Barbara, Y&R, etc. Nor do I recall him bringing many writers with him. Nor did his work at those shows resemble his time with Lemay at AW AFAIC. Frankly '70s Rauch and '80s Rauch seem like night and day. Beyond Rauch, the only two examples of key AW additions I know of would be first when George Reinholt and Jacquie Courtney jumped from AW to OLTL in the '70s. They were debatably the first daytime supercouple (some might cite Penny and Jeff from ATWT), and the show attempted to recreate that with new characters at OLTL to garner ratings. This was not unique to these shows; many soaps attempted the same trick after them. It might've worked but Reinholt's behavior once again drove him to quit and/or be fired. Robin Strasser was hired several years later as Dorian, but not opposite them in any triangle. Reinholt was long gone. JFP would be the other example and the only one who actively tried to model it after AW, bringing over several of her favorite actors from AW and several other shows she'd worked on in 1998-99. She was accused of trying to remake her AW at OLTL, but it was a poor fit because of their being very different. (She tried the same at GH.) I don't think OLTL was ever seen as 'just Another World' even remotely. It simply occasionally had AW stars coming aboard. And in the late '90s, they didn't fit. Jacquie Courtney and George Reinholt's characters fit in much easier, but Reinholt's in particular didn't last and Courtney's became quite different. OLTL and AW were dramatically different shows IMO, which is why JFP forcing actors from it onto the show didn't work or last.
