          General Hospital Update for Monday, October 31

NOTE TO ALL THE MIGUEL LOVERS:
Hey, I haven't seen any "Miguel Only" updates and, strangely enough, nobody
clamoring on the Internet for news of Mophead.  What happened to the
"groundswell" of support for that crepuscular butthead?
Don't expect to see anything about him in the monthly running update, either.

The Butler Did It!
=============================================================================
Reginald confessed that he whipped up some poisoned mini-quiches to put
KatyBell out of commission.  Reggie did it because he was distraught over
Lila, who was upset over Katherine.  Reggie felt compelled to do something
drastic to "help" Lila.  The male Quartermaines congratulated Reginald on a
job well done and they promised to pay for his lawyer.  Lila, however,
insisted that Reginald be treated like a true Quartermaine and that they close
ranks around him to protect him.  Edward agreed and told them that they must
keep Reginald's secret and stonewall the police department. Agreeing to this
were Alan, Edward, Ned, Lila, AJ and Reginald).  Ned told them they can be
successful if they all hang together with the big lie.  Later on, Lois rang
the bell and told them that Katherine had come out of the coma.  She was
astounded that the Quartermaines didn't give a hoot that Katy woke up; alive
or dead, they didn't care.  The Quartermaine crowd dispersed and Ned tried to
talk to Lois alone.  She told him he was nothing but a spoiled brat and dared
him to get out on the road and be a real musician.

It was the bloody, hacking cough that first indicated he was sick!
=============================================================================
Turned out that Justus had developd a blood clot on his lung and that was what
caused the bloody cough.  He was whipped into surgery with a pulmonary surgeon,
not Big Tone.  May-Mae and Luke held vigil in Justus' room during surgery.
Luke tried to get May-Mae to go home and get some rest before their appearance
the next day before the grand jury.

Mrs. Ashton #1 Gets A Response from Mrs. Ashton #2
=============================================================================
Lois visited ComaKaty [great nickname..thank you whoever thought of it] at GH.
Lois rambled on, talking to Katherine about what happened with her, Ned, etc.,
while we heard ComaKaty "think" her venomous remarks.  Lois lectured ComaKaty
on the virtues of her Eddie; she finally told her that she (Lois) felt sorry
for Katy because she's so shallow.  Upon hearing Lois' words, Katherine became
so agitated that she came out of her coma, snapped her eyes open like the
Bride of Frankenstein, and told Lois that she was a "low-class so-and-so!"
Lois ran to get Amy, who called Dr Tone Loc.  Tony filled in Katherine on her
fall down the steps, the subsequent surgery and the 2-week coma. It dawned on
Katy that someone tried to kill her. Tony told her he'd call Sean Donnely.

Trick or Duuhhhh!  Maxie has a Halloween Birthday Party.
=============================================================================
Fun and empty-headed games with Filly & Crew.  Mac and Kevin dressed up as
insects to complement Maxie in her worm outfit. They're dressed up for Maxie's
Halloween/birthday party.  Filly is dressed up like a pumpkin. They are joined
by Sly and Lucky, the "love" of Maxie's life.  Filly gets all teary-eyed about
how close they came to losing Maxie.  She tells Mac that she wishes Frisco
could see his daughter during these Kodak moments.  Mac gives her the verbal
one-two punch when he says that Frisco WOULD be there if she told him she was
pregnant.  Then Mac and Kevin gang up on Filly and she snaps at them to leave
her alone.  Sean, Tiff, Robin, Stone and Lucas arrive at the party (double
yawn), then Tony wanders in.

Latin lesson of the day for Kevin, dressed as an insect:
     "Braccae tuae aperiuntur."  (Your fly is open)
