  We cast the Reissner Nordstrom solution in a particular co-ordinate system
which shows dynamical evolution from initial data. The initial data for the
$E<M$ case is regular. This procedure enables us to treat the metric as a
collapse to a singularity. It also implies that one may assume Wald axioms to
be valid globally in the Cauchy development, especially when Hadamard states
are chosen. We can thus compare the semiclassical behaviour with spherical dust
case, looking upon the metric as well as state specific information as
evolution from initial data. We first recover the divergence on the Cauchy
horizon obtained earlier. We point out that the semiclassical domain extends
right upto the Cauchy horizon. This is different from the spherical dust case
where the quantum gravity domain sets in before. We also find that the
backreaction is not negligible near the central singularity, unlike the dust
case. Apart from these differences, the Reissner Nordstrom solution has a
similarity with dust in that it is stable over a considerable period of time.
The features appearing dust collapse mentioned above were suggested to be
generally applicable within spherical symmetry. Reissner Nordstrom background
(along with the quantum state) generated from initial data, is shown not to
reproduce them.
