UPDATE THURSDAY JUNE 18
In Which Most of the Characters in Port Chuckles are Losing It

[Your Fearless Updater didn't get the Brenda&Jax yawnfest today,
for a change, so YFU didn't lose it.]

WHO'S LOSING IT:

1. Edward, and to a lesser degree, Ned

At the PC Hotel, Edward is all excited about buying Serenity for the
Katherine Bell Physical Rehabilitation Center, but Ned tells him it won't
work.  Someone else has bought it.  Ned refers to the "relator", one of YFU's
pet peeves, the first time, but mentions the "realtor" the second.  Edward
loses his temper and storms out.

Alexis comes over and thanks Ned for his help in getting Stefan out.  He
suggests sleeping with her again.  He practically calls her a bit on the
side.  Alexis wants more, and tells him to enjoy his lunch as she leaves.

2. Mac, Dara

Mac is on the phone about Katherine's death [to heck with the General
Homicide murders.  A serial killer is not as important as putting away the
murderer of one of Mac's former loves.]  Robin comes in.  Mac wants her
at their table for the Nurses' Ball.  She tells him she'll be sitting
with Jason.  Mac wonders if he'll be back, but Robin assures him Jason
will be.  She tells him she's back with Jason.  St. Robin defends her choice.
Felicia comes in and defends Mac who has gone totally bonkers.  St. Robin
tells Felicia she's worried about Jason.  Felicia leaves.  Robin tells Mac
she can't go back to college, [huh?] but she's HAPPY! [YFU is yelling at
the TV, saying "get a life!" to Robin.]

Alexis comes in to see Dara, who has a chip on her shoulder the size of a
redwood tree. Dara's angry about Stefan getting released.  She shows Mac
as Stefan is let free.  Alexis tells Stefan that the mayor set $20million
bail.  She told the the Mayor he should hope Stefan jumps his bail so
Port Charles can use the money to improve the police department.  [She
noticed!]

Dara leans over and is nasty to Stefan.  She tells Alexis that it's
really personal now.  Dara tells Mac she wants 24-hour-surveillance on
Stefan.  [She really needs another job.]  Mac explains to Dara that
Stefan might find out something. He warns Dara to "keep it between the
lines."

Justus comes in and wants to spend the Nurses' Ball with Dara.  She
can't.  He asks for one dance.  Taggart comes up, asking about their
rehearsal.  Justus makes arrangements wo he won't have to "join the act
with Detective DuWop." Taggart asks Dara about Justus.

Felicia returns to defend Robin.

3. Tony (well, he doesn't find it, anyway)

Tony is calling Alexis.  Valerie, at the drug clinic, asks about Lucas
and Tony talks about Lucas in the divorce.  He subconsciously rubs his
hand.  [Kudos to Brad Maule.]  Tony raves about poor children,
emotionally scarred.  In runs a woman with a child.  Her car was hit, she
has no insurance.  Tony treats the child, and sends her off to General
Hospital.  He asks the mother to call and tell him how the little girl is.
(She does, later.  It's OK.)

Tony tells Val he misses the ability to stitch up a patient.  Felicia
comes in with Maxie and lunch.  Tony hugs Maxie, after she checks with
her mother to be sure it's OK.  maxie asks about the clinic work, and
tours the clinic with Valerie.

Tony refuses to listen to St. Felicia tell him he was wrong.  He rubs his
hand.  He wanted the jury to exonerate him.  He rants.  He tells her
about the restraining order (10 days before she learns about the
restraining order from Bobbie.)  "How many children am I going to lose
the rest of my life?" he asks.  He misses B.J. more than he did when she
died.  Maxie and Felicia leave, giving Tony one more hug.  [I think Felicia
would stop being so understanding if Tony suddenly decided he needs
Maxie, since she's got B.J.'s heart.  No WONDER Felicia is the charter
member of the Stalker-of-the-Month club!]

Tony has a B.J. flashback.

4. Stefan

Stefan, freed, goes to Laura's.  He warns her never to tell about being
on the parapet.  He didn't tell about Laura being there.  This is not to
protect Laura, but he doesn't want Nik to know about them.

If Nik is not Stavros' son, he loses his place in the succession.  [WHY??
Your Fearless Updater really wants to know!]

Nik has been there, Laura says.  He's suspicious.

Stefan goes home and sees the note Katherine left him: "from this night
on we will always dance together."  He plays the music box.

Nik comes in and hugs him.  Stefan shows him the music box.  The Nurses'
Ball will now be important to the Cassadines, he pronounces.
