I love it long and wavy!

I'm stunned and crushed. Don't know what to say. :waah: Best of luck Scott and Brett - and also thanks! You provided some great moments. |

I too am very upset. I only started watching because of all the talk about kish. When they leave I also too will leave. I have a feeling that all these cuts have to do with the return of Gina Tognoni. I'm sure that it cost oltl top dollar to get her back and the only way to make up that money is to let others go. Just a feeling. Scott and Brett entertained me for months and for that I am grateful. They also gain a fan for life.

DON'T MAKE ME GO GAGA ON YOUR ASS, ABCD!!!!

yeah i don't know anything about the past actors and actresses. All the justifications won't make what happened any less sad for me. For me I just wont see Kyle and Oliver anymore. It's breaking my heart :[ |

I did my best to take a break and now I'm back. I think what's bothering me most, now that I think about it, is the line that the story is over for Kish. Is that all they were? Using that phrase makes it seem like they were plots instead of characters, and they were definitely more than that to me. I thoroughly enjoyed the BGW for being cheesy and ridiculous, though felt that the gay bashing was rushed and unnecessary on the heels of the BGW. But despite this, I never thought that Kyle or Fish existed to just teach a lesson. The stories surrounding them got unnecessarily preachy at times, but it didn't change that they were real. Kyle's path to redemption (while frustrating to everyone in the spec/spoiler thread) wasn't just a story. These were real characters, with personalities that had them interacting across the canvas, making it clear they had potential to be real citizens of Llanview, and not just occasionally visiting stock. As someone who has always identified as a writer, when I hear that their story is over, I'm offended for the implication that they were never anything more than that. If that's the case, that's just bad writing.Sorry to be a bother, but what exactly is a Mark Lawson-type reaction? And to join in with everyone, when Kish is done so am I. It's a shame: by September, there won't be any gay relationships on American daytime television. I never would have thought that true last week. I'm also wondering what that AfterElton poll is going to look like now--I know I voted in one of the guys (I'M NOT SAYING WHO DON'T HURT ME) while thinking about the next time it would taken, and whether I would still be saying their name in a few years. I guess now it'll be unlikely, as their legacy will be so small. |

Cosmic socks!

I'm at work after 2 hours sleep barely and the puking-sensation is still very much present.. A few years back I was madly insanely crazy about Brokeback Mountain and found a safe haven with the BetterMost forum. It was the best place to be and to share with like minded people. Really. A safe haven. I had never been on a board for that long ever before. Made friends and met them in real life even. The came January 22nd, 2008 …. The worst nightmare…. Heath Ledger dies. It was a slap in the face, a hit on the head, a knife stab in the stomach….. Everyone was grief-stricken.. Unimaginable feeling. A young, amazingly talented and hugely promising actor.. This KISH disaster is not comparable, of course, but the feeling is quite the same! It's like one's gut being squeezed to suffocation, a piece of heart being ripped out. Indescribable… numbing.. Impossible to fathom how Brett and Scott must feel now….. Removing KISH like this is going to do a lot of harm… It's the gay folks out there, having the essence of their being denied. It's a crime and someone needs to get arrested for this.. Even if figuratively. Someone needs to get all the crap for this., I swear!....... UNCONSOLABLY GUTTED. |

The Whore of Babylon

When Daphne Duplaix was fired, he said something to her on FB(?) wishing her luck, and the show was stupid for letting her go... something like that. Basically standing up for her in the way the show treated her. The nature of the ending and the language in the article still bugs the ever-loving fuck out of me. The fact that they ended Kyle and Oliver without notifying the actors in advance of the media getting a hold of it, the fact that their storyline only has weeks to live, the fact that they used the gay characters to lay all of the blame (publicly) on the sliding ratings-- It leaves me feeling cold inside. And the fact that no one, outside of Brett or Scott are speaking up about this, even if to offer their condolences or best wishes makes me feel even ookier, if that's possible. |

Wow, I just fell a little for Mark Lawson... but I would fall harder if he said something now. I really do think there was a gag order put out, or else the cast really hates each other and I never knew and everyone is happy to see Scott and Brett go? But this really can't be the case. If the writing wasn't already on the wall for OLTL, it is now, and maybe they're everyone's being quiet so they'll be kept around for the last days. I imagine if I were ML I'd be pretty worried for my job right now and I'd keep my mouth shut... but I really, really want to hear something from Tika or DF at some point soon, if only because of that interview they gave together last fall where they both spoke very highly of the coming out storyline.

I'm at work, but have got Kishmet on in the background so i can keep flicking to see what developements are happening!! Yeah i definitely think there has been a gag order put out on the rest of the cast, otherwise i'm sure SC, DF and TS would be twittering/tweeting like mad. SC would absolutely be on, cause he tweeted Scott about that now irrelavant tease tweet. From all acounts Scott and Brett were very popluar with the rest of the cast, and seemed to be well respected for bringing such a great storyline to the screen. |

Just got home from school, still cant believe it! Im so angry!! And there no one here to talk with about it, cause nobody knows what the hell im talking about. The day they leave I stop watching OLTL. Does anyone know if Scott or Brett gave a reaction to the news and if they knew about it? Maybe werent allowed to say anything? I will seriously miss Kish... ! |

Scott tweeted like 10 mins after the news broke, saying that recent tweets were not foreshadowing anything, and to quote "this is news to me" - so Scott definitely didn't know anything. Which makes me assume neither did Brett, cause i'm sure if Brett knew he would've told Scott. Brett hasn't said anything directly but did quote some lyrics from the song 'free bird', can't remember exactly what they were but something along the lines of "if i leave today, will you still be here" :waah: Check back through the thread cause i few people have kindly put up the lyrics of the song - very apt!! |
