STEPHEN T. KAY

Character Sketch

Stephen T. Kay first appeared on General Hospital as Reginald Jennings in 1992. Reginald showed up on the door step one day, claiming to be the newphew of Jennings, the Quartermaines' former butler who had supposedly retired and gone to Europe. (In real life the actor had passed away). Reginald was hired as the Q butler. Lila was delighted with him and his casual attitude. Daughter, Tracy however was suspicious of Reginald, though not enough to actually have him investigated. Eventuallly she warmed up to him though, after her husband Paul left. Reginald gave her a crystal bell for Christmas so that it would be easier to call him, as she so frequently did by yelling.

Reginald served the family faithfully and Lila fanatically, but not without sarcastic remarks, and accurate observations. In 1994 his innate good taste was shown, when it was revealed that he was behind Katherine Bell's near fatal dose of digoxin and quinobarbitol. Apparently he had taken a Shakespearean reference of Lila's a little too literally. But his faux pas was successfully covered up by the scheming Q's. The police and Katherine never found out.

Skip a bit, as he was again relegated to flippancy and following Lila about. In 1999, Carly married A.J. and moved into the Q mansion, along with Michael and Michael's Nanny, Leticia. For the first time, Reginald was smitten. He demonstrated this to the Q's in no uncertain terms by exhibiting a very foul mood when Leticia was out of town. Their romance is still going strong, though circumstances aren't easy, as both have many demands on their time from their respective employers, and no individual residence.

Most recently (2001) Reginald has led a strike against the Quartermaine's, probably at Lila's suggestion. Only Lila will be served by the Household staff until Emily returns home.
