PERFORMER OF THE WEEK
Week of May 21-25, 2001
Though I would LOVE to give my Performer of
the Week award to Chris for his touching desire to wed Eve and be a father
for her baby (did you notice the real tears in his eyes at the cabin when
Eve turned down his proposal?), I think hands down I would have to award
Performer of the Week to Frank!
Frank's gut wrenching anguish at having to
face life without his Karen, the woman that he loves, is what sweet love
stories are made of. Frank has come a long way. Just in the past year he
has overcome addiction, greed, and Courtney (his biggest challenge) to
find his way back to life...and love.
Frank vowed that because he had altered the
past with his involvement with Nellie the Computer, he would travel back
in time to change the past, and his eventual and possible future with Karen.
He truly felt the only chance he had at happiness was to bring Karen back
to present day. He was willing to make any sacrifice (possibly even death)
to do so.
This is a drastic change from the greedy, thinks-only-of-himself
Frank. As he traveled in 1973, he was amazed at how surreal running into
himself as a small child could be. He was willing to risk dying to have
the smallest chance that he could rescue Karen and be with her forever.
It was apparent to this viewer that he even cared about Arianna, knowing
that her life could be saved if Karen were found and able to donate part
of her kidney. Towards week's end, his anger at himself for having tried
to save Karen and feeling he had failed were real. It was evident that
if he were to reunite with Karen, they would have a love like no other,
as it really had stood the test of time.
Kudo's Frank-your love for folks other than
yourself, and your willingness to give your life and offer yourself to
save Karen makes you Port Charles' Performer of the Week!
