....Would the owner of a Runner trapped as a Ghost in the Hell House
have to pay upkeep? A Runner who's been Abducted?

No, in both cases; this extends to Lone Star Lock-Up as well.
Similarly, you wouldn't be able to deploy new Gear on the Runner, or use
him for Specials (Moonlighting and Bar Fight come to mind).

In case of the Hell House objective, the runners are dead, so they are
considered trashed. As for the abducted special card, it specifically
says that the TR is considured fragged for a turn. Since you don't pay
upkeep for frag/trashed runners, the problem is also solved.

But since LSLU doesn't say neither and that the runner is still alive and
in play, I thought that the owner must still pay the updeep. If not, the
runner must be considered trashed/fragged so that other players may put
the same PR on the table. What do you think ??
