General Hospital - MESSAGE BOARDS

I actually thought what Tracy did was GREAT...I mean was it necessary to go that far....Perhaps...I mean in all honesty she loves Lulu and is aware that Lulu needs help and she isn't going to be able to help Lulu unless she gets Johnny to see the magnitude of what they could be in for!!

Tracy hit Johnny was a cold dose of reality, something that Lulu herself doesn't and won't really even deal with...all Lulu wants at this point is out of the place...and is really running from her problems and putting all her engery and pinning everything on Johnny....Talk about a HUGE weight for him to carry...I would just like to see Lulu acknowledge to Lainey everything that she has been thru this past month or so...I am not saying that Johnny and Lulu need to break up but Lulu does need time to allow herself to recieve help and not place that burden on someone that isn't qualified to help her!!

First, no one has ever accused Tracy of being soft, subtle or diplomatic. So, this scene should not have been a surprise. B!itch is a word that Tracy has heard many times before. (She's actually less a b!tch now than at any time in her history.)

Does Tracy love Lulu? IMO, she does as much as Tracy can let herself love anyone. And somebow I don't think it has much to do with Luke anymore. I think Lulu's earlier escapades reminded Tracy a little of herself and she's grudgingly come to care about her.

OK, the comments about Laura were harsh. And Johnny called her out for speaking them aloud in front of Laura. I have no problem with the point Tracy was trying to make or his calling her out about the way she did it. It was a realistic scene and in form for both characters.

Maybe Tracy will treat Lulu like an adult when Lulu starts acting like one. Maybe she's not hotwiring the Bently, stealing from Tracy's bank account, skipping school, or genearlly sucking up resources without giving anything back right now, but she's not showing any maturity or responsibility. She wouldn't even have a decent job if Carly hadn't manipulated her into one. She keeps stamping her foot and proclaiming she is an adult, but she certainly hasn't done anything to prove it. She reminds me of a love-sick teenager who's convinced she's Princess Me. It's a shame because JMB is a good actress and this character should have had so much more promise.

I deal with a loved one who has a mental illness everyday, and it is so tiring. I actually appluade Tracy for doing what needs to get done. Honestly even if Tracy knew the truth about Lulu and the killing, Lulu still needs help and right now Johnny cannot be a part of it. Johnny should know better after watching his father go all nuts...Johnny needs to listen to the doctoirs, who yes know what is best for lulu as they can see her with unbiased eyes.

For me if another loved one of mine started showing sysmtoms of mental illness I would do everything in my power to gert them help...and if it meant they would hate me then so be it because at least i am being unselfish enough to get them the help they need. I think Johnny is being very selfish and if he truly loved Lulu he will stay away until the doictors give her the all clear to see him.

Lulu had hard knocks before she met Johnny. Alcazar was grabbed her and was going to kill her until Sonny/Jason to the rescue. She was in the Metro Court hostage crisis. She had the abortion to deal with. So not every trauma in her life is Johnny's fault.

I have never liked Tracy from back in her days of tormenting Lois and I never will like Tracy. To me she will always be rude and cruel. If her tirades about Lulu ending up like Laura started when Lulu entered SB I would be less inclined to get mad, but she started them months ago as a way of controling Lulu. She doesn't want Lulu to be with Johnny, can't do anythign to stop an adult, so she used Laura to try to whip Lulu into doing what she wanted. Remember that rockign chair line at the PCPD? So cruel and uncalled for. Lulu's life is not for Tracy to run. So after all that I don't see her current behavior as trying to be helpful I see it as more of the same abuse. And yes using someone's worst fear and now their medical condition to berate them and try to run their life is emotional abuse. Yes I think she means well, dating a mobster not the safest thing, but it's not up to her. It's about control for Tracy IMO she doesnt have any and she's grasping at straws she has no right to touch.

As for Laura, she has no idea if Laura can hear her, but even if she can't it's wrong to say all that in front of her about Laura's state or Lulu's condition.

Shep you know your GH, do you remember Sonny/Luke discussing Tracy after her mobster husband died? I thought they said she ran his business so bad she fled in fear of her life? I know there were rumors she killed him since he died on their weddign night and I know they got her out of ELQ because her money wasn't laundered properly.
