PORT CHARLES UPDATE
Monday, June 16, 1997
Substituting For Regular Updater

Previously on Port Charles:  Drs. Chris & Eve verbally tangle about
the point, IOW their interest in Dr.Julie & what she's hiding.  Dr.
Julie & Frank & an almost relevation, ...  Dr. Eve wanting to know
*what in the world* Frank & Dr. Julie were doing in *her* apartment,
... Danielle provoking Jake's doubts about her "job" & pestering Rex
about the plan going on far too long, ... Rex, about now, & 5 million
dollars!??

Joe enters the Interns Lounge to find Jake looking at a mag.  Turns
out it's not your typical centerfold unless you're a Med Tech major or
intern.  Jake's a little defensive while Joe's overcome about not
being able to practice medicine until the hearing.  The subject of
Danielle comes up, either because Jake mentions talking to her about
what he'd do if he couldn't practice medicine or because there's an
8x10 glossy of her in Jake's locker, and Joe asks how Jake happened to
find someone who looked like that who will put up with an intern's
schedule & we find out that Danielle found Jake, not the other way
around.

Cut to Danielle & Rex where Rex is reminding her that when he arranged
for her to get together with Jake, he promised her everything would be
alright.  Rex & Danielle go over Jake's good points until Rex tries to
make sure that she's not getting involved.  Rex had said no one would
get hurt & Danielle thinks Scotty is hurting, both from Serena's
kidnapping and from being hit by a car.  Rex smiles, "Well, huh, you
can hardly blame that on me, ... can you?"

Cut to Scotty getting kidnappers notice that they want 5 million
dollars & that he'll get more info on Friday, June 27th.

- Opening Theme & Scenes -

And, back to FBI guy, Kevin, Lucy & Scotty where Kevin is trying to
make sense of the situation & Scotty is being intractable.

Rex comforts Danielle & reminds her that soon they will have what is
rightfully theirs, but she's not thinking about money right now.  He
compliments her on how well she's taken care of Serena.  She asks to
see the picture of Dominique that they used to get Serena  Danielle
can't believe how beautiful Dom is in the photo & wishes she had known
her.

Joe & Jake are gabbing medically when Ellen comes in & discusses Joe
coming in every day even though he's on suspension.  She compliments
Jake on the diagnosis he & Joe had been discussing.  Jake tries to
explain how his personality is suited to research & how that explains
why he didn't jump in & do what Joe did to save Audrey.  Dr. Ellen
wants him to focus on learning medicine & leave the philosophy
questions to others.

At the Scanlon Household the boys discuss their both renting the
downstairs apartment to two separate & different female interns.  A
little joshing between the brothers since Frank seems a little extra
interested in Julie, doesn't he now?  Downstairs Julie & Eve are up to
a war of words which seems a bit more about everything rather than
just the apartment.  Words moves on to Dueling Checkbooks when Eve
blanches at a glance at her own bank balance.  She suggests sharing
the apartment & Julie accepts.

In the kitchen, Julie & Eve give their checks to the Scanlon brothers,
but, oops, Eve wrote her check for the wrong amount & is out of
checks.  Frank & Joe aren't worried about getting the check from her
later.  They trust her.  Eve goes downstairs to begin settling in &
runs into some of Julie's nicer belongings, noting their labels, etc.
& mentally tags Julie as "poor, little rich girl".  Frank & Julie try
to get to know each other some more before she has to go on duty, but
someone or something continues to interrupt every other sentence it
seems.  Next, Joe comes back in looking white as a sheet to say that
it was Dr. Q on the phone just then & his hearing has been set for the
next day.  Gulp.

Ellen finds Danielle in the Interns Lounge leaving a note for Jake &
informs her that the room is for House Officers only & warns her not
to make a habit of it.  Danielle says it must be great to be her
(Ellen) because not only is she a doctor, but she is so beautiful.
Ellen replies, "Yeah, ... I have it all."

Back to Kevin's where he is off & he & Lucy have a brief parting.  He
is being so supportive & understanding.  Lucy zones in on Scotty to
get him to handle the kidnappers *with* her, like the old days,
instead of off on his own.  The only way he'll go along is if she
tells Kevin nothing, nada.  She had wanted to tell Kevin everything.
Scotty's bugged by the ransom note & the long date, etc.  A woman
calls Lucy about losing a blood sample of hers & needing her to return
to the lab on the QT to draw blood again.  Lucy is understandably
suspicious of this call.  It bugs her like the ransom note bugs
Scotty.  She thinks the call was really something to do with Serena.

That's it for today.
