After a much needed online hiatus from 5pm til just now, I am back! I had a meeting and an art dinner last night, followed by me falling into bed at 10pm to watch Desperate Housewives on Tivo, and me passing out at 10:30. Staying up til 2 and 3am three nights in a row was too much for me I guess--I'm not as young as I used to be! Sorry I missed you guys last night.

TracynLuke--what I mean was, can you email me the photo of Tracy you have in your avatar? I would love to have that photo to use as an avatar at another board sometime. Can you private message me the link to it or email it to me?

I need to start a 12-step SD program! I loved your declaration Remos! I say "aye" too. I love the drop that they have assured JE a Tracy/Monica storyline. If true, I bet it involves the will forging so ghost alan can pop in. Whatever it is, at least it indicates she isn't leaving in May!

I am off to drive carpool and exercise this morning. I will pop in later.

Ms. Q--I was in London last year this week I think, and that is the reason for my lack of posting that day I think. I remember checking my email there and you were so down about those scenes being cut or something.

Edit

Remos--SOD says they are quietly looking for a 40 somethingish to play Domenica Zacharra--the HO is getting a mother! Let's just establish the Zs as the cornerstone of GH! BLAH!!!!

But you have to admit, they are more interesting than the Cs, AND they have already established relationships with LuNacy. I'm not too concerned about this potential character - still plenty of room for Tracy in my scenerio!

THANKS ! :) It burned all night long, I don't remember a sprain burning like that. I literally couldn't sleep. At first I thought I might have a fracture but it's getting better, so maybe not. I decided to stay home today and keep it propped up as much as possible. In truth I am afraid to go down the stairs again, it would suck if I fell again and made it worse. It's kind of funny because I've been in this apartment three years almost to the day, getting ready to move out, and this happens...and three years ago when I moved in I had my leg issues at the same time and was in the hospital. Kind of a full circle thing, but really weird. Flat on my back with my leg propped up now, flat on my back with my leg propped up then....weird.

Thanks funny I'll be looking for your fic !

Sorry to hear about your family stuff Addie.....you certainly sound like you have a colorful family !

Since I'm home I'd love for TQ to be on today....but I guess that's not likely, right? :(

Sorry ILTQ--no Tracy or Luke this week at all. It is all Zzss all the time...Jason and Claudia stuck together, blah!

Hope your foot is better.

Addie--Sorry for your saga! Oy! LadyA sent me back all those dvds today. I will send them to you when I get them so you can copy them. You will have to just PM me with where you want me to send them. You can wait to send the others back til you get the next batch and send them back all at once to save you two trips!

Remos--going to go read your fic and catch up on Funny1's in a bit. I have to make myself do some work!!

Oh...thoughts of the

JE has been assured a storyline for Tracy/Monica when TG leaves on vacation!

YEAH!!! Not sure who dropped that as I am sitting on my hands and not going to SD since 5pm last night. But at least it seems to relate back to that drop a while ago that JE loves her storyline with Luke but would like more. And, the way that is phrased to me sounds like the Tracy/Luke storyline is not over yet.

My phone didn't ring last night or this morning. No work for me. Yay! (but oh my gosh, I am like up all morning, wondering if it's going to go off - oy!!!) Will be gone tomorrow and Thursday though. Not sure about Friday.

OT: ILTQ, ouch!!! Hope your foot feels better soon. I messed up my foot about 4 years ago, when I excitedly jumped when I got a hole-in-one while mini-golfing. It was just a little jump thing, and then BAM, on the ground. I went to get up, just to realize I couldn't stand on it... After a minute, though, I was able to stand... Prob. should have NOT proceeded to walk around campus for a week afterwards (and getting lost 'cause it was my first semester there). Oy!!! Finally, went in and got a little shoe... Immediate Care Center woman freaked out me, though, when she sent me to an orthopedic surgeon, just in case... Anyway, you are smart for staying off of your foot for today.

Addie, wow... :o So sorry about your family troubles. Feel free to vent here.

TnL (tracynluke, can I abbreviate your name to that?), I'm happy to see you posting here!

remos, thanks for the scoop about the possible Monica/Tracy SL this summer... Not getting my hopes up, but it's at least *something* to grasp onto.

hooked, SoapDish free, huh? I think it's a lot easier for me to stay free of the site now 'cause the search function still won't let us search for individual posts.

angel, read your updated fic. I had to go back a couple chapters to remember what was happening, but I'm sure you all have to do the same with Oh, Baby (Oy!!! I should just post the rest of it and be done)...Anyway, your story is really, really good. The Helena/Tracy bits are awesome. So, I wonder what's going to happen now that

To everyone else: Hope you're having a good Tuesday!

I have to say Im looking foward to Patrick seeking advice from Luke. That should be good.

Im so sorry about venting. I just had to let it out lol, and didn't have anywhere else at the moment. I know you gus aren't interested in the dramas involving my family, but it did get a tad better. Zeke decided (as I'm already 5 minutes away from the beach house) that oh yeah he did want to come pick our mother up at airport so I had to turn around and go back and get him. I was mad but at least I didn't have to drive all the way by myself and deal with the vulture on my own. She was of course her normal self, and before saying hello practically was fixing my hair and had already informed me that I'll never get a boyfriend if I look like I just fell out of bed before we'd even left baggage claim. On the way back to the beach house, she got a call from Matilda's school saying she hadn't bothered to come in today. I have no idea why she thought that leaving a horribly behaved 17 year old alone with no supervision for 5 days was a good idea, and I can't believe she thought that she would actually do what she's suppose to do :rolleyes: She's either almost to the Hamptons or Montauk by now or either partying in Manhattan (rolls eyes again)...but she's definately NOT going to go school if there's no one there to force her. Im not even sure why my mother is here, other than the fact that I think she wants to get into my business. and I do have to say that her new boyfriend is definately the youngest yet.

And like i said, my mother props them to no end and thinks that all of their behaviour is appropriate and wonderful and propably on the eighth day god created Zeke, Lucy, and Matilda. I, on the other hand, am not so special.

Im very thankful my mother doesn't like the internet and doesn't get on it alot. If she did, she's find a way to invade my life that way the way she has with every single other thing in my life.

Me..Im nothing to get excited about lol, and I look extremely fat in this picture for some reason but its the only one I could find:

Cute pic Addie! Where is that? Looks pretty. I am poppin in for a sec and then have to leave again for taking kids to haircuts, tennis, etc... To quote Tracy to AJ, "One of the sad ironies of life is that you can't choose your family"

How very true that is! My family is totally normal, but my husband's family!!! OY!!!

Ms. Q--so nice to see you postign during the day. I tried really hard to not go to SD today....was sitting on my hands just a click away. But I caved. Nothing new. My 12-step program is calling for a slow withdrawl and not cold turkey! LOL!!!

I had to go to defend chat up over there today because some bitchy people were posting and complaining.

Okay, all you LuNacy fans, someone at YT requested awhile back that I do a video just putting together the nicknames Luke has used for our girl. I got a whole lot of Pretty Pink Peppermint Popsicle (or just Popsicle) [10 total so far - ay caramba] and Spanky's [7 total so far].

I also have one or some (3 or less) of the following:

My Little Corn Muffin

My Little Komodo Dragon

My Little Sweet Potato Pie

My Little Sugar Plum

My Luscious, Lascivious, Little Lollipop

My Little [spankybuns]

Spankster

Spunky

Honeybunch

Buttercup

Sunshine

Sugarpops

Pumpkin

Cherry Cheeked Cherub

Mama

Baby

Wife

Wildcat

Jungle Queen

Dumpling

Cupcake

Could use more and/or better ones of "Mama," "Baby," "Wife," and "Sugarplum."

Still have to add Babe (I can just remember the time in the courtroom for that one), Cuddles, Lifeline, Sweetheart (just have one of this one too, when there were prob. more...) I also feel like he's called her Darling once or twice...

Feel free to add anymore (and a time-frame if possible).

And if you have any specific moments that *must* go into the video that involve the names I already mentioned, let me know. :) Gracias!!!

    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
    • All caught up on this week's episodes. Deidre Hall has done the best work of her career with this series of episodes. That is her tribute to Drake. Every acting choice has been perfect. From her reaction the moment John flatlined, to her snapping at Abe and Paulina (what a smart, realistic writing choice), to her grief playing the text message over and over. Josh Taylor did the best work of his career in the scene with Kayla telling him John had died. Everything about his facial expression, voice, pronunciation, everything was so different from what he usually does. He was overcome with the emotion of it and any of his acting tics disappeared. Peter Reckell and Kristian Alfonso were great. One thing I noticed with the flashbacks of John/Marlena and Bo/Hope is that Bo and Hope are constantly smiling at each other. The chemistry those two have cannot be faked. It's clear the writing team decided to clean up Bo and Hope and give fans a happy ending for them, neatly wrapped up in a bow. The juxtaposition of Bo and Hope reclaiming their happiness thanks to John, while Marlena is dealt life's harshest blow from John's sacrifice, was another great writing choice. Marlena even saying that to Eric, that she is paying for Bo's recovery with John's life, was such smart writing. Susan Seaforth Hayes was used very effectively between the two storylines. I really enjoyed the scene of Kate talking to Philip, calmly stating that she will make Xander pay. Overall, the show should be lining these episodes up for the Emmys and Deidre should be carefully choosing her scenes for her own reel. She deserves a Best Actress Emmy for this work. The first time I have felt that way about her work. Peter Reckell should submit himself for Guest for the scenes where he found out Victor is dead because he was genuinely heartbreaking. Josh Taylor should throw his name down for Supporting Actor for his scenes. The show deserves a Writing and Best Show for what they've done with the episodes around John and Bo. It was heavy stuff and I feel for the actors. I am so impressed with what they did.

Commander Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Both are highly intelligent, but rarely understood by the outside world. Both aim only to evolve, to be better than what they are. And both belong to the NFL. Data, who is actually Brent Spiner, was born February 2, 1949 in Houston, TX. He was the son of Sylvia, a corporate VP and Jack, a furniture store owner. When Jack suddenly died, Sylvia was left to raise infant Brent and his brother alone. She eventually remarried a man named Sol Mintz. Although Mintz adopted Brent, Brent changed his last name back to Spiner when he became a professional actor. Spiner attended Bellaire High School in Houston and was heavily involved in baseball and the drama club, in addition to being a member of the NFL. While on the speech team, he gained 143 points and even earned the title of Dramatic Interpretation Champion in at the 1967 National Tournament (the same year actress Shelley Long won Oratory). After his success in high school, Spiner moved on to the University of Houston and began performing in local theatre in Houston. Eventually he dropped out of college to move to New York City and try his acting luck there. While in New York, Spiner gained more stage acting experience, performing in several Broadway and Off-Broadway plays, including The Three Musketeers and Stephen Sondheim’s Sunday in the Park with George. In 1984, Spiner decided to try film acting and moved again, this time to LA, where he appeared in several pilots and made-for-TV movies. He then auditioned for the up-and-coming show Star Trek: The Next Generation. Spiner himself was never a fan of science fiction or of the original Star Trek, but figured the show would soon be cancelled and he desperately needed the money. Starting in 1987, Spiner played Data for 15 years, during the show’s 7 seasons and the four feature films that followed. Even when the show was cancelled in 1994, Spiner’s career as a performer barely paused. He is most remembered for his role in Independence Day as Dr. Okun, the somewhat awkward chief scientist of Area 51 who is attacked and killed by his alien subjects. He has also made appearances on Law & Order, Friends, Dude, Where’s My Car?, I Am Sam, and The Aviator. Spiner returned to the theatre and appeared in the Broadway revival 1776 as John Adams. Unlike most of his co-stars, Spiner is not very active in the Star Trek convention scene. He has made a few appearances, but overall his lack of interest in science fiction gets the best of him. However, he still regards Patrick Stewart and LeVar Burton as two of his best friends. One of the challenges forensicators face is finding the human element in their events; to not be robotic and detached, but simply themselves. It is this crucial element that separates the good from the great. As the character Data, Spiner sums up the NFL experience the best: “If being human is not simply a matter of being born flesh and blood – if it is instead a way of thinking, acting, and feeling, then I am hopeful that one day I will discover my own humanity. Until then…I will continue learning, changing, growing, and trying to become more than what I am.”   https://www.ign.com/articles/2002/12/09/an-interview-with-brent-spiner https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1992-02-17-ca-1835-story.html https://www.discogs.com/artist/1224629-Brent-Spiner?srsltid=AfmBOorfw9Nl3EZ4fc-plhbgU3ng2bSQTruygkdJxZgsPquzQ6sBhCbj     Leslie Charleson    pg. 435   PILOTS/PROPOSALS ANOTHER APRIL      April Weston Moss   1974    (Made for T.

    • Thanks so much for posting this. Since they had retconned Roger/Holly's relationship after his return as being "Roger was always in love with Holly" when it was actually the other way around, they kept up this narrative in this video. Understandable, but it still bugs me. Holly was never his "heart." That's baloney. He only married her to be in Christina's life and was screwing other women like Diane and Hillary the whole time. Peggy was truly the only woman that Roger ever loved, and even that wasn't a very healthy relationship. Holly only really fell out of love with Roger after she realized she loved Ed while they were divorcing. I'm glad he reminded people that the rape scenes were taped in a day. It's amazing what they accomplished with very little rehearsal. That scene still has great impact after all these years. And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask. (I love the way they joke about the mask at the end). Alan's insanely over-the-top reaction to his return when Roger had no hold against him anymore. Yikes, one of the worst things Long did while she was still writing the show, though I will cut her a break since she absolutely had a tough task bringing back a guy who fell off a cliff.
    •   Thanks! You reminded me I did not remember to add in the preemptions for the dark weeks, since those are not listed on the sortable charts, so these are the additional preemptions per newspaper listings and Vanderbilt News for the 1973-1978 dark weeks. I have added them in to the full lists above.   8/26/74-8/30/74 Another World Wednesday episode- 3:04PM (26 minutes) 8/26/74-8/30/74 Doctors Preempted Wednesday- Ford News Conference 8/26/74-8/30/74 Edge of Night Preempted Wednesday- Ford News Conference 12/22/75-12/26/75 As the World Turns Preempted Friday- Sun Bowl 12/22/75-12/26/75 Guiding Light Preempted Friday- Sun Bowl 12/22/75-12/26/75 Search for Tomorrow Preempted Friday- Sun Bowl 12/22/75-12/26/75 Young and the Restless Preempted Friday- Sun Bowl 8/22/77-8/26/77 Doctors Preempted Tuesday- Carter News Conference 8/22/77-8/26/77 Guiding Light Preempted Tuesday- Carter News Conference 8/22/77-8/26/77 One Life to Live Preempted Tuesday- Carter News Conference (possibly aired just 3-315PM) 4/24/78-4/28/78 Another World Preempted Tuesday- Carter News Conference 4/24/78-4/28/78 General Hospital Preempted Tuesday- Carter News Conference 4/24/78-4/28/78 Guiding Light Tuesday ep- 230-3PM (30 minutes) 6/26/78-6/30/78 Edge of Night Preempted Monday- Carter News Conference 12/25/78-12/29/78 Another World Preempted Monday- (Local Fill) & Fiesta Bowl 12/25/78-12/29/78 As the World Turns Preempted Monday- Peach Bowl 12/25/78-12/29/78 Guiding Light Preempted Monday- Peach Bowl
