I know how you feel. Of course, the level of devastation is not the same, but my immediate response to both news was 'was this some kind of sick internet jokes?' because both are so unexpected and difficult to believe. |

After all of the mess with people thinking Scott was gonna leave last week, I can't say I'm totally surprised by this. I am surprised that they didn't tell Scott or Brett that they were done filming, and that ABC is now blaming the "queers" for their sorry-ass ratings :frustrated: Personally, I haven't been enjoying the storyline for a few months now, I'm kinda thinking RC may have knew what was coming, and this was a result of that. Were Brett and Scott popular with the other cast members? Reason why I'm asking is because of the Pre-Emmy nominations, and their names NOT being on the list. For some reason I don't see any of their co-stars, making a scene about them being fired. I hope that Anthony L can get his money back for the studio tour. Sadly, he'll probably have to go and JPL, and FF will be his tour guides :grin: Lastly, this feels like deja-vu for me. I stopped watching OLTL years ago after Billy Douglas disappeared, and I will do the same after Kish goes. Good luck to Brett and Scott. We love you :smooch: |

Well i don't see why they wouldn't be popular. They are nice guys who clearly loved the show. i'm sure they got on better with some, and not so well with others, but thats the same no matter what line of work you're in. But i remember Daphne Duplex saying she would call Brett if she was stuck in jail, however Brett would probably be the person she got in trouble with :LMAO: So they clearly got on. And judging by Brett and Scott's interview on Brandon buzz radio they are friends with tikka and David F. And i'm sure i heard that Irene loved both boys. SC was tweeting Scott, so i'm assuming they got along. I really think that Frons have gagged the cast, cause it's not like Scott or Brett are saying anyrthing either. After the way they found out they were being fired, I can imagine Frons is trying to stop the backlash from Kish fans, the only way to do that is to order your cast not to say anything. and to be fair with all these recent firings, the cast probably think if they make a big deal out of it they will be next on the hit list!!! |

It's been over 12 hours since I heard the news and I'm still devestated, shocked, pissed off, and generally disgusted with OLTL/TPTB. I plan on writing in a few hours once I can form words/sentences that aren't punctuated with FUCK every 2 seconds. I wish Brett & Scott so much luck in the future and know they'll both have fantastic, successful careers, but damned if I won't miss the hell out of them on OLTL. :( This is really just absurd, disgusting, and unacceptable. How much sense does it make for a show to get rid of the only couple that's actually really working for it right now? I did a mental tally of the show earlier, and Kish is seriously the only ones who aren't back-stabby, disrespectful, who actually seem to like each other as people besides being in love, who are honest with each other & don't exhibit ill-will/secretive tendencies towards each other, they have jobs, friends, a place to live, etc. And this whole "mainstream audience" not catching on thing is just ridiculous. I'm thinking "mainstream audience" refers to people with Nielsen ratings boxes, which is probably a small percentage of total actual viewers. Did they ever think that their other storylines may be responsible to the declining ratings? Nope, but of course it's the loving couple who just happens to be composed of 2 guys that gets the blame, because god forbid they actually admit that people don't want to watch someone who thinks it's okay to try and impregnate his own daughter (Mitch) or watch said daughter act like she's Drew Barrymore's character in Never Been Kissed & have them destroy Jess/Brody and Cris/Layla or watch someone like Ford sleep with one of his students, or watch one half of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Sluts try to dig her heels into the much-beloved Buchanans, etc. But nope, of course it's the only "normal" couple's fault. It's really sad to see that in 2010, this country hasn't come further with equality & just general respect for others. What REALLY makes me sad and pissed though is that there's SO much more they can do with Kish. They copped-out with this big time (no pun intented)! They could've shown a loving gay couple raising a child, and made it look normal (which it is - gay people lead the same kind of everyday lives as straight people), try to find time for themselves while juggling their jobs and an infant, had Kyle/Roxy scenes which I LOVE, have Roxy be an honorary grandmother, and explore Fish's mom coming around and accepting Fish and seeing that Fish found a really great person in Kyle (I always thought Mrs. Fish would've come around had it not been for Fish's father). This doesn't HAVE to end...they're just being pathetic & basically saying that it's okay to discriminate, something I for one thought they'd been trying to change with this storyline to begin with. |

No more Kish and Cayla scenes together, no more of this awesome 4some, that's another reason to be sad too :sigh: |

My guess is 'mainstream' viewer refers to the people who took time to write letters of complaint along the lines of 'I've watched OLTL for ___ years but after seeing two men (select one: look longingly at one another, hug, kiss, have sex) today I'm done with the show.' Of course I suspect a lot of them were probably thinking ''I've watched OLTL for ___ years but after seeing two sick perverts (select one: lust after each other, touch each other disgustingly, stick their tongues down each others throats, commit sodomy) today I'm done with the show.' Then they probably went back to fantasizing about Todd. :annoyed: The problem is that while the vast majority of viewers seemed to love, like or feel indifferent to Kish unfortunately the squeaky wheel gets the oil and even if it was 500 or 1000 letters, those letters probably all ended up on Frons' desk and he threw up his hands and said "I can't deal with this" and put the hit out. |

Waking up still stunned by the news as I'm sure most of us are. So sorry for the guys too. I hope they both quickly move on to new projects. But most of all, I woke up determined that this was not going to pass without OLTL and the soap community hearing my voice. It may not change the outcome, but they deserve to know how I feel. Already called the OLTL comment line twice and sent emails to ABC.com and SOD. Today I will write the letters. I hope they will hear me but if they don't at least I got to express myself and tell them they lost this viewer. I am so grateful for all the scenes we got and I want to say that too. I am grateful for this board and all the great stories we've shared here. Love you all. |
