Port Charles Update for Friday, 23-Apr-1999

Welcome to today's update! First, the important stuff - No Matt today - Boo-hoo. Also no Eve - so that means no Eve-bashing all you Eve lovers! But we did have Kevy - and he was KevyEveless - and yes that *is* a word. It has a page all its own in Tammy's special dictionary


The show starts in the Recovery Room - and look there's Garcia! Wow, he must still live in PC. Wasn't sure - it's been so long since we've seen him. And he is looking oh-so-sexy, decked out in a suit, reading the newspaper. He asks Frank how Julie is doing - aww, he still cares,
how sweet! He's thinking about the bugs they found at Karen's and the Scanlon house. He's not convinced Julie is the one who planted them. After all - she denies it. He vows that they'll find out who and why - eventually. At the usual rate that the PCPD solves everything else I'm sure. Frank's mind - if he still has one - is really working in overdrive. He imagines Garcia saying they both know who planted those bugs and that's not all! In a very lecturish tone he tells Frank
he's been a very bad boy - extortion, grand theft, bank fraud - oh, yes Frankie has been oh so very busy. Apparently Chris ratted him out about forcing Courtney to pose as Marcia Cooper - being a PCPD-type person it is a must that someone else always explain these things, they can't
be bothered to figure them out for themselves. "I gotcha!" he gloats, jangling handcuffs in front of Frankie's face. Frank comes out of his little dream world - and a big thank you to whoever gave Garcia this piece of airtime, really fun stuff - to see Courtney and snaps he wants Chris off his back - today.

It's off to Ferncliffe and our almost-newlyweds. Chris - looking quite dapper - enters spouting - " 'Tis the east and Julie is the sun..." glancing at her stomach, he adds, "Or the daughter." He produces a mangled rose - it was a full bouquet but the guards confiscated it. They fear what she can do with thorns - so should Chris, Julie warns. Chris tells her that is no way to speak to her betrothed. They haggle over details - cooking, cleaning, money, baby-smuggling...

And here's KevyEveless! Oh, yes, Scott and Victor too. Oh, and I promised Tammy - Kevy details - looking oh-so-fetching wearing that black jacket. But what's this - he's telling Scott that Lucky - Laura's son - was killed in a fire. You remember Laura don't you? You were married or something? Oh, my, where could the elves be? They really are falling down on the job. But it gets worse - oh dear, I think someone is going to lose their job over this - Scotty CALLS Laura!
Alas, he gets the machine. He offers his sympathy and explains he can't make the memorial service because he's in NY. Kevy wants to talk to James - Gracie's new fave! - convince him he's not out to hurt him. Scott defends himself - he wasn't hurting him - he didn't smack him or
anything. Kevy just wants to try out his psychatrist-like skills. Scott says they need to find her because he can't imagine the world without her - neither can Kevy. Oh, and Kevy - here's the deal - either put that sexy black jacket back on or take it ALL off...

And back to frick and frack - dumb and dumber - Pinky and the Brain - take your pick. Courtney must tell Chris she has something on Frank to stop his blackmailing so she won't have to turn him into the police. Now what can she hold over his head? Courtney and her little teeny brain come up with - pictures of Frankie in the buff--wearing war paint. But no - Frank couldn't let her take pictures like that - she could never control herself. Next? But wait - hold the presses - Frank has an idea! She'll tell Chris she has Frank on tape blackmailing her.

Chris wants a prenup that guarantees him half of the DL-56 patent proceeds. Gee, Chris is planning the divorce before they've even planned the wedding. Though madly in love - of course - Chris feels a case of irreconcilable differences coming on. Julie is thrilled by Chris' pragmatism. Well, that's good, it's always nice to find qualities to admire in each other. Julie is doing her part. They discuss the prenup - providing for their breakup - about two or three
weeks after they're married. Julie is surprised they'd last that long, but Chris is a romantic. Julie gives Romeo his shopping list. Chris doesn't see his stork-likeness, but Julie points out that storks don't smuggle babies out of mental institutions in exchange for millions. He sees her point. Julie isn't due for 6 weeks, but since she always gets things done early, it will probably also include child birth. Julie isn't too worried about how she'll be able to have her baby secretly. After all, a teenager can give birth in a bathroom stall and go back to her prom - so she'll manage just fine. Julie blows Chris a kiss as he departs.

Courtney approaches Chris - tall, dark and hunky to her - at the hospital. Oh, and she's wearing some kind of fuzzy looking lilac colored wrap thing - Ick! Chris is very upset that she refuses to
go to the police. Courtney wants to have dinner together - but no, sorry, he has to work.

Scott goes on television, broadcasting his search for Lucy. The reporter tries to veer the conversation toward the child labor thingy - but Scott will have none of that. Kevy goes looking for Lucy - and James. And, yes! the black jacket is back - though the other option would have worked too... He finds James - oh and one thing - is that his wallet he has? That would mean, he has a picture of Lucy in his wallet... So, he takes her off speed dial, yet keeps her picture? Okay,
whatever. Kevy notices the Yankee's ball cap James is wearing. Kevy says he used to play baseball when he was younger. He did? Can't quite see that, but okay. Oh, and now Lucy is ga-ga for the Sports page. Uh, huh. James tells Kevin where Lucy had been begging at, he chased
her off but he would have let her stay if he knew she was a Yankee's fan.

Chris comes back - with medical scissors that Julie asked for. He got them past the guards because they figured it was his steel buttons that set off the metal detector. But the guard-type-person finds the scissors - he's going to report her - no more visitors and no more
pillows. He reaches toward her stomach - Julie says to leave her baby alone or she'll kill him.

Courtney - and her furry appendage - return to Frank at the Recovery Room. She assures him that things are fine with Chris. But oh, my, is Frankie using that brain of his again? Wow, it's really getting the workout! He's recorded her saying that Chris knows she posed as Marcia
Cooper, but he has no proof that she did it to embezzle Julie's money.

Victor spots Scott on television, as does a very interested DV. Lucy wakes up to find herself with new friend Annie, and with quite the headache. When Annie asks her name, the only thing she can come up with is "something". She finds a scrap of paper with the names "Eve" and
"David Bordisso". She figures Eve must be her name - but Eve is such an ugly name (LOL) - you know it kind of reminds me of when Lucy begged to be told she and Katherine weren't friends in a very similar plot in "Long Way Home". BTW kudos to Zoe - if memory serves - who speculated Lucy would think her name was Eve due to that piece of paper.

And the show is
