Soapy Stuff: The End

We just got a little teary when we saw this. RIP Kish. xoxo

Soapy Stuff: This Just Ain't Right

When ABC's soap opera One Life To Live was enjoying a ratings resurgence and newfound buzz, producers were happy to credit the gay romance of Kyle and Fish as the reason why. But now that OLTL has seen its numbers dip? The soap's brass are reportedly blaming it on their decision to go overboard with the gay stuff. Which is why Scott Evans and Brett Claywell's characters are being written off the show.

We first learned OLTL would feature a gay romance last summer; when the pair's first on-screen kiss arrived in August, the gays were agog. And middle American stay-at-home moms, too. But in October, when "Kish" got married, OLTL was trailing its soap competition, landing in sixth place (out of seven spots), when such an exciting plot development should have been reeling in the viewers.

Now showrunner Frank Valentini says, "We are concluding the story that we set out to tell with Kyle and Fish. We are very proud to have broken new ground with a same sex couple on daytime."

Characters are usually written off shows for one of two reasons: Their actors demand unreasonable salary hikes, or viewers are turned off by them. If producers were utterly pleased with the Kish storyline and the response from audiences, undoubtedly they would keep their characters around. But that doesn't appear to be happening, and so into the soap sunset they will ride. But they've had a good run, no? Kissing on camera. Sexing on camera. Marrying on camera. It's been a pretty spectacular representation of gays on television, broke ground in the genre, and we can't fault OLTL for giving it a go.

Something's Fish-y

Ok, so maybe we have been watching One Life to Live recently not just for the ongoing gay plot line of Kyle and Fish on the show. We are mostly watching the show because we knew eventually on every soap it's hot stars usually get somewhat nekkid. Well the hot star in question is actually Scotty from D-Tox, and what do you know he has been getting quite shirtless lately. If that isn't enough for you, Out Magazine named him as one of the Out 100 most influential gay people out there. Out Magazine said, "The gay world is just like high school—but bigger and with fewer rules. We approached all cliques to find the most outstanding and inspiring men and women of the year." They took the words right out of our blog. This got us thinking...should we do a gossipgays most inspiring people and who would totally rule the school? xoxo

Soapy Stuff: And Then He Kissed Me

Finally!! We were nervous that Officer Fish wouldn't push the ballgowns aside and step out of the closet already. xoxo

Soapy Stuff 8-6

So we have always had a crush on the adorable vet Scotty, but now he's a big time soap star on "One Life to Live" . He has exploded all over gay media and the internet, and to top it off he's playing a gay character on the show. There has been a lot of suspense leading up to his character's first man-on-man kiss on today's show, but we here thought it would be nice to re-live some of the past finer moments of his time on the show leading up to what will surely be daytime's hottest gay kiss. xoxo
