I just saw the news and I'm heartbroken. :pfft: Once Kyle and Oliver are gone, so am I. I hope at least they get a happy send off as a couple WITH Sierra. A pox on ABC Daytime! And all my love to Scott and Brett. :smooch: You proved to be more classy than TPTB. |

For me too. And I was a OLTL fan pre-Kyle Oliver. But this scape-goating Kyle and Oliver and kow-towing to anti-gay animus for other show problems irritates the hell out of me. And thanks, Anthony for putting your two cents in on the whole issue. As I think I said before, this whole thing reminds me of how many democratic strategists blamed John Kerry's 2004 loss on the gays, when it was really an abysmally run campaign. |

My biggest fear at this point? That the ratings actually DO go up after Kish are gone. Because WHAT THE EVERLOVING FUCK would that say about us? About our country? Or maybe our stupid ratings/focusgroup-driven reliance rather than simple good storytelling to drive a fucking show. *GRRRRRR* Clearly, sleeping has not mellowed me out one bit. I'm steamed. But rather than even doing a "Save Kish" campaign, I just want to send protest postcards and rainbows to Frons and shove it all in his face!! GAHHHHHH! No. Words. Still. It's really, really raw right now. I'm barely coherent. Y'know, from the RAAAAGE!!! SCR, next time you talk to your writer buddy, tell them thank you.

I thought it would all seem a little better today, after I had some sleep. Nope. Still effed up. After 17years of watching OLTL, Kish's last day will be my last day. I would stop watching right now, but i want to support the guys through their last day. |

I really don't know what to say right now... well, I actually I knew but after skimming through the whole thread I don't so I guess my post's gonna be messy , but I'm a mess right now so bear with me I think I felt a bit crushed by the news... I guess I could have seen it coming - no kiss for 2 months , less and less airtime, cutting off many scenes... plus recent nonsense firings have prepared me a bit (but just a bit) for this piece of info... I said yesterday that I won't feel sorry if show gets cancelled and obviously I think that now even more.... I think I'll actually be happy if that happens - not because they ending Kish but rather how they're doing it I hope that ratings fall (they probably won't) when Kyle and Fish will be off screen - it won't bring them back but just to show homophobes and ABC that THEY MADE A MISTAKE I was often critical of the story and I wasn't a fan of BGW and preachiness, but the thing that I always kept me in were actors - and their great personalitites, interviews and everything they said and did off-screen. They gave me hope, and that's a lot for real life loser with social phobia living in polish countryside. And I definitely feel horrible for Scott and Brett - they deserved better for the work and promotion they did for the show and the way they found out is just unacceptable. I wish them all the best and I'll never forget about them. And it's a punch in the gut to us fans who've been following this story for months and now can't get even a proper send-off. I don't even look forward to the rest of the story So I guess I'll get a part of my life back now (not that I have any life) but it's definitely not the way I wanted it to happen. It seems like evrything that Kish represented were just delusions that now don't mean a thing. Ugh, I'll probably be embarrassed by this post in a few minutes but I just needed to vent Sorry btw maybe there's a chance for some kind of spin off like happened with Otalia/Venice?? |

Or maybe our stupid ratings/focusgroup-driven reliance rather than simple good storytelling to drive a fucking show. ^ what would that say? to me, it would say the healthcare debate is the least of our problems if hatred is THAT severe still in 2010. i know these are fictional characters, but a fictional rapist is better off with viewers? um.....ok. good to know. |

I haven't had the time to read through all 64 pages yet but I'm glad we are a bunch here together in this, supporting Brett and Scott and pooh-pooeing on ABC! I feel so strongly about this and it's great to be able to share!.. ♥ I've never watched OLTL before June 2009 and I will never ever watch it again once KISH is gone. I'm grief-stricken.. |

Yeah, that's how I feel, too. What's the point of saving Kish on a show that obviously doesn't respect them! I would not want Brett and Scott be stuck with them any more. I just hope they will find other roles very soon. ETA: what an embarrasing typo! Edited by byb0, Mar 11 2010, 08:00 AM.
