From: bv143@FreeNet.Carleton.CA (T.A. Murray) Subject: PC: Friday Update - 11/21/97 Date: 24 Nov 1997 06:35:05 GMT Port Charles - Friday Update - November 21st 1997 (posted and e-mailed) PORT CHARLES - LE MORTE DE DANIELLE At The Recovery Room. Mike asks Chris and Eve what they're celebrating. They explain that they're happy because they've had a Boardman-free week. Chris and Eve want a fine wine with dinner. Mike offers them vintage Chablis in a jug and suggests that if they want a choice in a fine wine to go to the Port Charles Grill. To flirt with Eve he gives in and goes to get a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc in the back frig. (Not a decent red wine in the place... some bar.) Chris mentions that they are one week closer to becoming real doctors and raking in the big bucks. They toast to that day, (With water.) Eve says she's going to hit the Paris boutiques as soon as she's rich, instead of shopping in Wyndham's bargain basement. Chris is semi-disgusted that she shops there. She comments that "Some of us have to scrimp, not like the rich Dr. Ramsey." He asks if that's what she thinks about him. Sure everyone knows he comes from money. She doesn't think he's ever been denied anything. He objects to her making it sound like he's a spoiled rich kid. Isn't he? He avoids giving her any actual personal history, and says that he knows how to do a load of laundry. Apparently Eve doesn't. A beeper goes off and they both check. It's Eve's, she has to rush off to the hospital. But Mike has only just brought the wine and now Chris will have to drink it himself. Eve says Chris owes her for giving her that disgusting kiss. He says she went along with it. She did, but Eve knows a fake kiss from a real kiss. At Mario's Bennett tells Julie he's sorry Julie has to hear all this. Nicole points out that Julie doesn't have to stay if she doesn't want to. Julie doesn't get the hint. Bennett tells Julie that he doesn't think Nicole's serious about divorcing him. Nicole says she's deadly serious. Julie suggests that Nicole take more time to think it over. Daddy's sorry for what he did. (Yeah, sorry he got caught.) Bennett pushes their problems off on Buddy again. They've both been avoiding each other since then. (For ten years?) Nicole's still not buying. She suffered as much as he did and never slept with another man. She tried to hold the family together by herself and now she's done trying. He agrees it's his turn to try. "Too little, too late," is her reply. Karen, Joe, Matt and Ellen are working on Danielle, as Frank looks on. Jake bursts into the room. Frank fills him in on Danielle's injuries. Jake aggressively wants to help, but Karen says he can't He'll observe. Jake flashes back to being in bed with Danielle. Back in the present Jake stands at the end of Danielle's bed and looks kind of sad. Karen leaves the room and goes out to the nurses' station. She calls Scott and tells him she knows where Danielle is. Scott, who is munching on a green apple, thinks that great. No, it isn't Danielle's been in a car accident and is in grave condition. He'll be right there. Karen hangs up. Scott exclaims, "Rex!" and throws the phone at the wall. ***** Our Flashback: We remember Danielle telling Jake that she couldn't give him her phone number at her "night job" because the boss didn't allow any personal phone calls. ***** Matt and Ellen talk Doctor Speak over Danielle. Karen tries to get Jake to leave. He says it's his fault because he should have protected Danielle. She didn't want to do bad things, Rex made her. Jake starts trying to give his own medical advice, and Ellen suggests he stop. Frank pushes him back and advises him to hold up the wall. Jake flashes back to when he proposed to Danielle. Back in the here and now tears are appearing in his eyes. (He should be careful, he's in danger of suffer from CFS, Chronic Flashback Syndrome. Now known as Stefan Cassadine disease.) ***** Our Flashback: We remember Danielle at the Nurses' Ball, wearing that cute little janitor's outfit and picking Lucy's diamond studded dress out of the wastebasket. ***** Nicole comes into the living room. Mike asks her if she'd like a drink or dinner. She says both. He asks if her husband's joining her. (Why? Is she coming apart?) Not if she can help it. Chris stands up and bids Mrs. Devlin a good evening. Nicole is pleased to see him. He asks her to join him. She accepts. His bottle of wine is nearly empty. He tells her they keep the good stuff in the back and should he order another bottle. He should. Bennett tells Julie that he appreciates her support. Julie hates to see her parents thirty year marriage go down the drain. How will he convince Nicole not to file for divorce. Bennett thinks Nicole will drop the idea once she's calmed down. Julie's not so sure. Chris philosophizes to Nicole, and quotes "The Road Not Taken" by Frost. Nicole is surprised. Does Chris like Frost? "Never met the guy," he says, deadpan. Nicole takes him seriously for a second. He admits that he couldn't resist the straight line. He pours more wine for them both. Nicole likes that poem now, but she didn't used to. Nicole tells Chris that his girlfriend Eve isn't her favorite person. He denies the relationship. He says the kiss was just blowing off steam. (Makes you wonder what he does when he's truly stressed.) Eve is just a co-worker. (And his roomie, but he doesn't mention that.) He doesn't know how Bennett could have preferred Eve to Nicole. Nicole thanks him for the little white lie. He's kind and smart for one so young. He tells her he's been shaving for three months now. She thanks him again for taking her mind off her troubles. He thanks her for reminding him that there is more to life than medicine. Mike offers them coffee. Nicole refuses she doesn't want to stick around and run into people from GH. Chris offers to take her elsewhere for coffee and she accepts. (After a bottle and a half we hope Chris was planning on a taking a cab.) Conklin and Scott come into the ER and ask Karen where Danielle is. Can they talk to her. Karen says they can't. Conklin asks what the prognosis is. She's going into surgery and it doesn't look good. ***** Our Flashback: We remember Danielle going to visit Dominique's grave and swearing to never do anything to hurt Serena, and she wept at her sister's grave. ***** Chris escorts Nicole back to her hotel room. Chris says he had a terrific evening. Nicole says that, but for him she'd have been crying alone in her beer. He hasn't heard that saying in years. She tells him that he'll get those sort of gems all the time hanging out with the geriatric crowd. He tells her to stop. She asks him to come in for coffee. He accepts. They get in and she says they'll order from room service. (Promptly showing that the coffee thing was just a ploy.) He suggests they just check out what's in the honor bar. They find white wine with twist off caps. (Is there no red wine anywhere in this town?) The phone rings. It's Bennett. He asks if she's calmed down. Tells her she should consider their wonderful marriage. He wasn't when he slept with Eve. She hangs up on him. She apologizes to Chris, but he insists she has nothing to apologize for. She tells Chris that she's asked for a divorce. Scott tells Conklin that Danielle wanted to make a confession. Conklin tells him that he better pray that Danielle pulls through. Karen tells them that Danielle is still unconscious and is being prepped. Scott insists that they talk to Danielle as soon as she's able. Jake overhears this and accuses Scott of being a vulture. He thinks Rex and Scott are sucking the life out of Danielle. Scott says Jake has it wrong. Danielle wanted to talk to the FBI. Jake says Scott should leave Danielle alone. Scott says his daughter's life is at stake. Jake says Danielle's life is at stake and then grabs Scott. Conklin breaks it up and Matt tells Jake to get a grip, he's not doing Danielle any good. Jake moans that he's never done Danielle any good. The accident is his fault. He had her come back to town. Karen says that Danielle came back because she wanted to, because she loved Jake. Jake moans again. He repaid her love by hurting her. He flashes back to throwing Danielle out of the apartment. (The first time.) He whines to Karen that the last time he spoke to Danielle he told her he hated her, what if she dies and he never gets to tell her different. ***** Our flashback: We remember when Rex showed Danielle his little poison kit and she believed he had poisoned Jake in ten seconds flat. You can fool some of the people all of the time and fool Danielle every single time. ***** Nicole pours out her troubles to Chris. She's been the good Doctor's wife, keeping the home fires burning while Bennett was lighting his own fires. She stuck it out. While Bennett grew successful, she grew older. A sympathetic Chris tells her she didn't deserve that. The phone rings again and the two of them stand in the middle of the room and listen to it. Danielle says to let it ring. She starts to cry. The ringing stops. She apologizes again, and he tells her not to. She kisses him and then he takes her face in his hands and kisses her. Sitting with Karen in the waiting area, Scott says that Danielle is the only one who can get his daughter back. Karen has to make sure she gets through this. Karen says okay and leaves. Rex strides into the ER and asks Matt for information on Danielle. Matt tells him she's being prepped for surgery. Scott comes up and says he can't believe Rex would come here. His niece has been injured, Rex says, all innocence. Scott asks him how that happened. Jake burst into the ER again and accuses Rex of ruining Danielle's life. Rex will see Danielle over his dead body. (And how long would that take to arrange?) Karen (messenger girl for the day) tells Jake that Danielle is asking for him. He runs into Danielle's room. Joe tells him to make it quick because they're almost ready in surgery. Jake takes Danielle's hand. (That would leave her with one.) He tells her he's there. She complains that she's cold. She lost a lot of blood. If I don't make it, she starts to say and he insists she will make it. He tells her he loves her and she tells him she loves him. She says she never lied about that. He says he loved her since the second he laid eyes on her. She thanks him and he says they have a life to live together. (Would that be One Life to Live?) He declares his love again and tells her to hold on. The doctors come and wheel her gurney away. "I love you more than life itself," he tells her. He watches her through the glass of the doors, and then begins to cry. ***** Our Flashback: Danielle having run away to New York flashes back to meeting Jake. While she does so her ice cream cone melts all over her hand. ***** Director - Anthony Morina ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX * !!
