Absolutely agree. I'd prefer that to them fading out in their last episode and hearing about them or the baby every once in a while from Roxy or Gigi. Like...maybe Oliver gets transferred back to the Cherryvale (that was the name of the town he was living in prior to Llanview, right?) police force and Kyle goes to work at the hospital there. Simple and effective.
Seriously...feel just terrible for them. I couldn't imagine getting fired and finding out from a press release/a magazine. |

SAME HERE TOO! I want to write to Frons and ABC and whoever needs to hear from us, but I'm still LIVID and I fear my letter could turn out somewhat uncivil... I don't want to stoop that low... |

I have to wonder if Scott knew about this, or had some sort of inkling, beforehand. I know what he said on twitter, because I follow him, and it would be the ultimate douchebaggery if this whole freaking firing fiasco was, in fact, news to him (and Brett), but why would he be auditioning for roles/pilots in California if he didn't think something was coming down the pike regarding Fish & Kyle? And if you have been following him on twitter, his recent tweets have been somewhat cryptic (although again, I know he said it was about something else). I'm not doubting him, but I dunno...I'd almost be able to live with this crap more if it *was* his choice. Ugh. I'm still super pissed off and upset about this. The rage I felt 18 hours ago is still there. It's like people I've grown to truly care about and love have suddenly died, and I don't know how to feel - sad, angry, reeling at TPTB, just a whole mix of emotions that I haven't even begun to sort through. HOW DARE ABC/FRONS/TIIC COMPLY WITH BIGOTRY & CATER TO PEOPLE WHO PROBABLY AREN'T EVEN LOYAL FANS?! Ugh...so upset, I can't even. Edited by HiddenVixen22, Mar 11 2010, 09:29 AM.

Such a shame, maybe it would've been better if Kyle had turned out to be a Cramer after all!!! I'mm grateful that we had them and lost them, then not having them at all (a bit like that old saying, it's better to have loved and lost, then never to have loved at all) and i'm sure that in time that will of great comfort to me. however at the moment, i'm so angry and upset that i'm not finding any comfort from that, cause all i keep thinking is that there was so much story still to tell. I agree Anthony, i'm so unbelieveably pissed off that we're not going to get a proper send-off for our boys. Surely the TPTB could've informed Brett and Scott that they were going to be let go, and gave them a quick, happy ever after ending, with them deciding to move away and start afresh. instead of this FUCKING CRAP we're going to get!!! My heart goes out to Brett and Scott. They must be feeling terrible at the moment, i suspect thats why we've not heard from them. Especially, as we all know, Scott is usually Twitter-happy. My only comfort is knowing that they will be there for each other through this, they're not alone, and i'm sure they'll still be friends, and will always have that special bond they've talked about so often interviews. I also want to say at this time i'm also thinking about SC, CH and DD who are also out of jobs now. Edited by KIsh4ever, Mar 11 2010, 09:29 AM.

He might have had an "inkling"--no further camera calls or scripts. Extra time in between shooting for the show, longer than normal. But it looks like insofar as FV/RC or any of the TPTB pulling him into their office and giving him the official word before the article leaked, that didn't happen. :frustrated: And the way I read Brett's last FB update before he "Freebirded" last night, it did sound like he relocated to a different neighborhood in NY. Unless he moved into a different apartment... in L.A. Unlikely though, that he would've moved out of NY. THAT would've clued Scott that something was up. I've got no idea what's in their contracts for actors like BC or SC, but I'd have to imagine that there would have to be something in their about giving notice to the actors before terminating their employment. Right? Also, it does look like the entire cast is on lockdown for now, and keeping quiet with the facebooking and tweeting. Which is why I appreciated Brett's awesomeness with the coy "Freebirding" last night. Just... perfect. Didn't make me feel less sad, but sort of a FU!! to the clampdown out of the set. Yay Towleroad! Hoping for PHB 365Gay to pick it up. Would love it if it did end up on Huffington Post. Edited by WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot, Mar 11 2010, 09:31 AM.

Seriously. I can't put into coherent words how disappointed, sad, and angry I am right now. The TPTB are seriously idiots if they think the ratings are gonna go any up right now. It all depends on good storytelling. And blaming the tanking ratings on Kish is the biggest WTF ever. Who are they gonna use as their scapegoat when Kish are gone and OLTL is still dead last in the ratings, below a CANCELLED soap. Kyle and Fish were the best thing to happen to OLTL in a LONG while. I was already considering leaving when it was announced Scott Clifton had been fired, but I am DONE when Sky and Kish are gone. YT will be my pal for my TnT, Sole and Jess but other than that, OLTL can head straight for cancellation for all I care, because they obviously need to learn a thing or two about knowing TALENT and POTENTIAL when it's right in front of you. |

While the idea of Kish just sort of fading into the background (a la ATWT's John Dixon) and not getting a proper send-off is extremely annoying, at this point I don't think I'd want ABCD to change course and keep them on. I'd have no faith that they'd treat the characters with respect and at least this way they can't suffer character assasination. However, I think if anything I'm angrier at ABCD and their utter douchebaggery (though I'm amused that the utterly ham-fisted way they've handled it has blown up in their face). I feel awful for Brett being out of work, especially since pilot season is already in full-swing so there's not much opportunity there (unless a picked up pilot recasts an actor). And I'm totally disgusted at the fact Kish is being blamed for the ratings situation (which is total nonsense--once character or couple doesn't tank ratings). And it really seems as though OLTL has eaten its seed corn. Once all the departures are done, the show will have the following characters in the post-college to mid-30's bracket: Jess (who acts 12) Gigi and Rex (who act like they're a 50 year old married couple) Cris Layla (I wouldn't be surprised if either Tika leaves or the show writes out Layla) Brody (another one I'd put on axe watch) |

They were both taping last week, we know that. Must've been their final scenes, though they didn't know it at the time. |
