PART 1
 
Grant Harrison

Kirkland Harrison


KIRKLAND:  Wow.  When?
GRANT:  Last night.
KIRKLAND:  Is there anything I can do?
GRANT:  Son, you’re being here is…is more than enough.
KIRKLAND:  I didn’t even know grandpa Spencer was dying.
GRANT:  I didn’t either.  He didn’t want anyone to know. 
KIRKLAND:  How did you find out?
GRANT:  Kelsey called and told me.
KIRKLAND:  Dad I’ve never seen you like this.  I have to say though that you’re taking this harder than I thought.  You and Spencer weren’t always that close.
GRANT:  Despite everything we’ve gone through, he was still my dad.  He definitely wasn’t perfect, but I still loved him.  I’m so glad you and I have…reached a point where we could…at least be on good terms despite what I’ve done to your mother in the past.
 
KIRKLAND SIGHS.
 
KIRKLAND:  I came back to town angry at you, but…but just like you said about Spencer, you’re my dad…and I love you.
 
GRANT TURNS AROUND AND PULLS KIRKLAND INTO A TIGHT HUG, THEN LETS HIM GO.
 
GRANT:  You don’t know how much it means to me to hear that. 
KIRKLAND:  I mean it.
 
GRANT LOOKS AROUND THEN WALKS TO THE DOOR.
 
GRANT:  Would you mind locking up when you leave?
KIRKLAND:  Where are you headed?
GRANT:  Son, I need a stiff drink.

Rachel Cory Hutchins

Felicia Gallant Blake


RACHEL:  I really hope they can get to the bottom of this so you can have some closure.
FELICIA:  Meanwhile they don’t know where Christy is and I’m always wondering when she’s going to strike again.  She threatened my daughters.  She threatened Devin.
RACHEL:  I’m sure you’ve alerted them.
FELICIA:  Yes they know.
RACHEL:  Somehow, I believe everything is going to work out.  No harm is going to come to anyone you love.
FELICIA:  From your lips…
RACHEL:  You have to believe it.  Your family will be as safe as they’ve always been. 
FELICIA:  We do what we have to do to protect them.
RACHEL:  Speaking of which…I have a delivery to make.
FELICIA:  Do you want me to go with you?
RACHEL:  No I need to…do this alone.

AT THE HOSPITAL, THOMASINA IS SITTING AT HER DESK WHEN BRIANNA WALKS IN. 
 
Brianna Jameson

Thomasina Mason


THOMASINA:  Brianna hi.  What can I do for you?
BRIANNA:  I was wondering if you had gotten my email.
THOMASINA:  I’m so sorry.  I’ll take a look at it.  Here it is.
 
THOMASINA LOOKS AT IT AND FROWNS.
 
THOMASINA:  Oh.
BRIANNA:  I take it that you see it.
THOMASINA:  Effective immediately? 
BRIANNA:  Yes I’m…moving away.
THOMASINA:  This is quite a shock.  I’d hate to lose you.  You’re one of our best nurses.
BRIANNA:  Thank you for that Dr. Mason I just…I can’t pass up this new opportunity.
THOMASINA:  I didn’t say I accepted this resignation.  I can’t let you go.

Iris Spaulding


Vivien Gorrow, Jr.

AT IRIS’S SUITE, IRIS IS SITTING ON THE COUCH WHEN VIVIEN, JR. WALKS IN THROUGH THE ELEVATOR DOORS WITH A BOX.
 
VIVIEN:  I got this from the front desk.
 
VIVIEN PUTS THE BOX DOWN AND IRIS SEES IT’S FROM SPRINGFIELD.
IRIS:  These must be…some of Alexandra’s belongings.
 
IRIS LEANS BACK ON THE COUCH AND VIVIEN STANDS OVER HER.
 
VIVIEN:  Well aren’t you gonna open it?
IRIS:  Not right now.
VIVIEN:  Why not?
IRIS:  It’s just gonna remind me of everything that I’ve lost.  My daddy’s company; my son hardly calls me, and my half sister.
VIVIEN:  Oh.  I’m…I’m sorry.  I didn’t mean to…
IRIS:  It’s okay.
 
IRIS SIGHS AS SHE GETS A CALL ON HER CELL PHONE.
 
IRIS:  Yes…okay.  Send her up.
 
IRIS ENDS THE CALL.
 
VIVIEN:  Who’s coming up?
 
THE ELEVATOR DOORS OPEN AND RACHEL WALKS IN WITH HER ENVELOPE.
 
IRIS:  Rachel.  To what do I owe the…pleasure? 
RACHEL:  I came to give you this.
 
RACHEL GIVES IRIS THE ENVELOPE.
 
IRIS:  What’s in here?
RACHEL:  Open it.
 
IRIS OPENS IT AND READS THE LETTER AND IRIS LOOKS UP WITH A BLANK STARE.
 
IRIS:  Vivien I noticed that you were out of cleaning supplies.
VIVIEN:  I just bought some the other day.  We’re pretty stocked…
 
RACHEL AND IRIS STARE AT VIVIEN.
 
VIVIEN:  Why are you looking at me like that?  Ooooh I get it.  I DID notice we were low on bleach.
 
VIVIEN LEAVES AND AS SOON AS THE ELEVATOR DOORS CLOSE…
 
IRIS:  So this is the nail in the proverbial coffin isn’t it?
RACHEL:  Baycorp will be taking over any future productions that KBAY was credited with.
IRIS:  And you couldn’t wait to rub this in my face!
RACHEL:  What are you talking about Iris?
IRIS:  This is it.  I’m completely and wholly out of daddy’s company.  Isn’t that what you’ve always wanted?
 
CAMERA PAN ON IRIS.  SLOW FADE OUT.  FADE IN TO THEME SONG.

PART 2
 
Frankie Frame

Charlie Winthrop Harrison


CHARLIE:  Don’t leave anything out mom.
FRANKIE:  We expected that Fax was going to come after me, and he did.  I was supposed to pick you up from the sitters after Josie’s bridal shower.
CHARLIE:  I remember waiting for you.  I was wondering why you hadn’t shown.
FRANKIE:  I was given a drug so I could breathe, but I had to appear dead.  I had to lay low until Fax was caught.
CHARLIE:  I remember reading about all of that, but you didn’t come back…wait…you were Anne O’ Donnell?
 
FRANKIE SIGNS NERVOUSLY.
 
FRANKIE:  Yes.
CHARLIE:  So you came back to Bay City, and you never told us that it was really you.
FRANKIE:  I had no memory of who I was.  Something drew me to Bay City but I didn’t know why.  I was told that the Fairchilds died so the family couldn’t come after me.  It was safe for me to come back.
CHARLIE:  Did you tell anyone else about this?
FRANKIE:  I did, but it wasn’t entirely true.
CHARLIE:  So how do I know you’re not lying to me now?
FRANKIE:  I promise you sweetheart I’m not.
CHARLIE:  So you came to Bay City, with no memory of dad or me, and then you left.  What happened? 
FRANKIE:  I had gotten into an accident and…I was rescued by a doctor.  He nursed me back to health and we…
CHARLIE:  Fell in love?  Wait a minute.  Bryant Kramer.  Do you know him?
FRANKIE:  Yes.
CHARLIE:  He said you helped raise him.  Who did you raise him with?
FRANKIE:  His name is Bradley O’Neill.
 
 ----------------------------

BRIANNA:  I’m sorry?
THOMASINA:  Dr. Matthews just left for Seattle and now this?
BRIANNA:  It’s just that…things in my life are finally looking up.
THOMASINA:  I mean I know I can’t stop you but there’s gotta be something I can do to keep you.  Is it a raise you’re looking for?  I can make that happen.
BRIANNA:  Dr. Mason this has nothing to do with money.  I found love.  I found the person I want to be with, and we’re leaving town together.
THOMASINA:  Where will you be working?
BRIANNA:  With the shortage of nurses I’m sure I’ll land a job somewhere.
THOMASNA: If you need a reference please don’t hesitate to call me.  I’ll be more than happy to put in a good word for you.  It truly is our loss. 
BRIANNA:  I had a great time working here.  I…learned a lot.
THOMASINA:  And Bay City Medical Center was privileged to have you.  I mean you saved Tyrone and Marley’s baby from being kidnapped by my cousin.
BRIANNA:  Someone was putting her up to it, so I know it wasn’t entirely her fault.
THOMASINA:  You’re truly a hero.  I’ll um…send this to HR and I’ll have it processed.  I wish you the best of luck.
 
THOMASINA GETS UP, APPROACHES BRIANNA, AND THEY SHAKE HANDS.
 
 ------------------------------

RACHEL:  I didn’t come to fight with you.
IRIS:  You could’ve…sent this by email or…even delivered through a messenger.  No Rachel, you brought this over in person.  You wanted to make sure that I knew on no uncertain terms that I was out of daddy’s company.
RACHEL:  I have to get back to the office Iris.
 
RACHEL STARTS TO WALK TOWARD THE ELEVATOR DOORS.
 
IRIS:  What did my daddy ever see in you?
 
RACHEL TURNS AROUND.
 
RACHEL:  I beg your pardon.
IRIS:  How did you do it?  How did you manage to fool him?  I saw right through you from the moment I met you.  You were nothing but a GOLDDIGGER, and somehow you managed to get my father to fall in love with you. 
RACHEL:  Is there a point that you’re trying to make?
IRIS:  That company belongs to me just as much as it belongs to any of your children!
RACHEL:  You tried to make a side deal with Devin Hutchins! 
IRIS:  I shouldn’t have had to do any of that!  You trapped my father by having Amanda, and then he adopted Matthew, and don’t get me started on Paulina!  Sandy was the only one who had any sense!  You married my father twice, and with the ultimate stroke of luck, he dies so you could inherit his company, and you MISMANGED IT! 
RACHEL:  You know what Iris I put up with your bratty behavior; your jealousy; your schemes for years because Mac loved you and I loved him.  I don’t have to do it anymore.  You can’t be trusted Iris.  You can NEVER be trusted!
IRIS:  And YOU CAN?  You went off and married CARL HUTCHINS of all people!  The man who tried to kill you and daddy.  The man who envied EVERYTHING that Mac had, and you HANDED IT TO Carl on a silver platter!  You are one STUPID woman! 
RACHEL:  And you’re a spoiled BRAT who thinks she’s entitled to everything that Mackenzie Cory had and doesn’t want to share!  Time for you to GROW UP! 
IRIS:  GET OUT! 
RACHEL:  You have your copy of the final agreement.  Good day Iris.
 
RACHEL LEAVES.
 
IRIS:  You’re gonna pay for this Rachel.  I’ll make sure of it.
 
CAMERA PAN ON IRIS.  SLOW FADE OUT.  END OF PART 2

CONCLUSION
 
CHARLIE:  Were you married?
FRANKIE:  We did, but we’re divorced now.
CHARLIE:  So as soon as you…recovered your memories you came back.
FRANKIE:  Of course I did.  I came back for you and your father; Aunt Sharlene. 
CHARLIE:  Wow this…this is big.  Does dad know?
 
FRANKIE LOOKS AT CHARLIE.
 
CHARLIE:  Oh my God.  You guys are getting married and he doesn’t know?  You should have told him already mom!  You’re lying to dad!   That’s no way to start a marriage!
FRANKIE:  I’m going to tell him.  Tonight.
 
FREEZE FRAME ON FRANKIE.  SLOW FADE OUT.  END OF 334
