4.20 Nanny and The Hunk Producer

written by: Frank Lombardi

Maxwell is excited that his new play The Widower is nominated for five Tony Awards.	Mr. Sheffield holds a press conference and the reporters ask many questions about the similarities of the play to Max's real life, including one stray reporter who asks 'innocently': "Reporter": Are you telling me you never plan to remarry? Max: Well, that depends, if the right woman were to.... Miss Fine!!
At the Tony's, The Widower wins!!

One of the less reputable reporters recognizes Fran from the Tony Awards ceremony.

Niles and Fran are disappointed that they weren't invited to the cast party. Mr. Sheffield tries to explain when Maggie comes in angry and slams her way upstairs.

They go for family counseling at Dr. Miller's and Maggie tells them what is wrong. She shows them a tabloid article that says that Fran and Mr. Sheffield have been having an affair for years, even while Sara was alive.

Max: Doesn't it drive you crazy people reading this stuff and then believing it? Fran: Look, they're accusing me of having an affair with a married millionaire. In my old neighborhood that's a career goal.

Fran: All you have to do is worry about Maggie. What do you care about the rest of the world? Nobody but a mindless nutcase would buy into this junk. Sylvia: You were having an affair with Mr. Sheffield on his honeymoon and you're still getting six bucks an hour??

Fran goes to straighten things out with Maggie. Fran: Maggie, I can't believe you would actually think I am capable of something like this. I tell you, I am so hurt I don't think I could ever forgive you. Maggie: Fran, what do you expect me to think? It's so obvious Dad is in love with you. Fran: I forgive.	Maggie and Fran go downstairs and tell Dad that all is forgiven.
	But C.C. comes in with another tabloid story that caused ticket sales of The Widower to come to a screeching halt.

Fran and Max go to confront the writer of the story. He promises to never write another story about them again because the first one didn't sell at all. Fran: Are you telling me that the hunk producer and the naughty nanny didn't fly off the stands? Reporter: Stinko, a bomb, we were embarrassed. We're going back to Princess Di, she sells beautifully. Max: I don't understand why no one wanted to read about us. Fran: Oh you don't know how to market us, that's your problem mister. You gotta appeal to the younger demographic...(to Max) It was the 40 that killed us.

Max: Dullsville?? You wanna see hot? You wanna see steamy? Get over here naughty nanny!! Is he looking at us? Fran: Oh yeah. Max: Miss Fine, he just turned off the lights. Fran: He's developing the film!
