Kish last airdate to be April 12th- Fish finds out he is the daddy and then what?

As every one in soapland knows Kyle (Brett Claywell) and Fish (Scott Evans) are set to exit One Life to Live on-air in mid-April. But, TV Guide Magazine reports today, as we all have known, that for our favorite gay couple Kish, there’s still some plot before we have to say our sad goodbyes on April 12th, their last airdate, which has been confirmed by ABC. Kyle will be back on air solo for one episode on April 16th.
As previously announced on March 29, Fish will find out he’s the father of baby Sierra Rose. Scott Evans (Fish) tells TV Guide the fans are upset over the police officer’s inability (thus far) to deal with the elephant in the room, that he could be the baby daddy of Sierra Rose. “There are a lot of angry fans saying, ‘Why doesn’t Fish just man up and be responsible?‘ But they’re missing the bigger picture. This is a scary thing Fish isn’t ready for. He’s just out of the closet. He’s just started a new relationship. People take nine months to prepare to welcome a child into their lives. Fish isn’t mentally prepared to take this next step forward. He’s from this conservative upbringing and there’s a part of him that thinks a kid should have a father and a mother. I don’t necessarily agree with that. As long as you have parents who love you, it doesn’t matter what sex they are.”But, for Fish, well… he can’t just lose all the things he was taught his whole life in just a matter of a few months. I wish everybody would give Fish a break here. He still has unresolved hang-ups about his family—especially his father—and that takes time to get over. A lot of the gay fans don’t see it that way, but if gays want acceptance, we also have to accept gay people who think differently from the rest of us—and then try to change their minds!”

REPORT: Nicholas Chavez Not Returning to General Hospital
For those who were holding out hope that Daytime Emmy winner and fan favorite, Nicholas Chavez would be returning to General Hospital after filming his leading role in Ryan Murphy’s Monsters anthology, it looks like those hopes have been dashed.
According to a report from TV Line, although unconfirmed from General Hospital or a representative for Chavez, the actor will not reprise his role as Spencer Cassadine on the long-running ABC soap opera and continue the love story of Sprina opposite Tabyana Ali (Trina, GH).
Chavez was cast as Lyle Menendez over the the summer of 2023 for the second season of Murphy’s limited Monsters series on Netflix. In the upcoming season, the series will focus on the the case of Lyle and Erik Menendez, the two well-to-do Beverly Hills brothers accused of murdering their parents in 1989.

After word from Chavez casting was revealed, GH fans were concerned over the fate of the Sprina story, a spokesperson for GH shared, “We support Nicholas’ endeavors and look forward to having him return to General Hospital once this project is wrapped.”
In story, the series “killed off” Spencer when he went overboard with Esme to the steely waters below after being injected with a drug, thanks to Esme and falling into the Seine River in France. However, his body was never recovered, and believed to have drowned or washed away. Thus, leaving an opening for Spencer to return in the form of Chavez or be recast down the line.

TV Line shared that ‘multiple sources’ are confirming that Chavez is not returning to the ABC soap opera, which is what many had suspected might be the case once he left for this major starring role in a Ryan Murphy project. Chavez has been relatively quiet on social media for months.

The Michael Fairman Channel spoke with Nicholas Chavez for a virtual interview when he first joined the show in 2021, and spoke to him right after when he won the Daytime Emmy in 2022 – you can see those below.
No word yet on when Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menéndez Story will debut on Netflix, but it is assumed later this year.

Speaking with PEOPLE, Wagner expressed, what we all know who watch the soaps, that no one is never, ever really gone for good. Jack expressed, “You never really die on a soap, right? How they unfold those two characters (Peter and Amanda), it’d be fantastic how they sort of tell that story.”
Wagner added, “That was a great finale to be included in, especially with Heather. If I’m asked to come back, I’d absolutely entertain that.”

The original Melrose Place aired for seven seasons from 1992 to 1999. The story featured the residents of an apartment complex, whose lives were intertwined. Eventually Wagner and Heather Locklear dated fro 2007-2011.
As previously reported, the new Melrose Place share that some of original neighbors and friends reunite after a death. The loglines add, “The pressure cooker of a reunion soon uncovers old traumas, rekindles old romances, reignites old resentments, and reveals new secrets… throwing our characters into chaotic drama that’s reminiscent of the past, but with a much more modern perspective.”
So, would you like to see Jack Wagner return as Dr. Peter Burns on Melrose Place, or Frisco Jones on GH, or both? Comment below.

Accrdg to TVGC, OLTL offered Evans a contract but Evans declined. Thus, he didn’t want to be tied down to the show should there be other offers. Not wanting to sign on w/ OLTL is all the more reason why he shouldn’t complain of OLTL’s axing him or using these so called “tactics” since he didn’t take their offer anyway. It must have gotten difficult for OLTL to work around his schedule since he’s not signed w/ OLTL. So that gave OLTL even more reasons to axe him. This kish drama is going to reach its boiling pt at the rally.
LOL… Is it ironic that you think I am KISH fan? Just read all recent soap dramas and news. Of course, your lovely comment stands out .
I am an daytime soap fan but am amazing what you are doing. That is all. Do what you do as I say.. 🙂
keep going as you want…
Good job.. Bottomchef…!!
You’re welcome!
Scott Evans has never been offered a contract with OLTL. He even teasingly remarked in an open interview once that his mother would likely have a contract with the show before he would. Nelson Branco consistently makes up garbage and it is quite well known that you can’t believe anything he puts in print. TV Guide would be smart to get rid of such a rumor and “gossip” monger and find a REAL journalist that will stick to the facts. Even posters from Canada can’t stand NB and say not to believe anything he prints. He is well known for putting out false statements in his columns, so why should anyone in the US believe him, when people in his own country don’t? I, personally, prefer to take it straight from the “horse’s mouth” (i.e. in this case, Scott Evans personally).
Really? That’s interesting Jeri. Evans should categorically state that he was not offered one by OLTL to clarify this issue.
As straight married women, I wonder why you, BOTTOMCHEF, have so much time to find all the information about or against KISH and also to post your comments or opinions everytime new topic in here.
Strange?
Work for ABC?
Hater for KISH? …
Very interesting!!
Keep doing what you are doing, BOTTOMCHEF….
LOL Susan from Arizona!
No I don’t work for ABC, but this other Kish fan thought I was Frons’s brother! LOL I guess the kish fans are into conspiracy theories. I’m an avid soap fan like many ppl on the soap websites, although many kish fans seem to be fans only of kish, and are unfamiliar w/ the nature of soaps or w/ storylines other than kish. So their perspectives might be limited only to kish. I don’t hate kish. I wrote on here that I liked Claywell’s acting in Kish since he carried the pairing bec Evans was complete crap as Fish. But the 2 of them have been too talkative to the media regarding their oustings, yet you don’t hear a thing from Duplaix or Clifton, while Hunt had 1 statement in a column. Evans has been on twitter, youtube and out talking about the kish axing. Claywell’s been on zap2it, daytime confidential, movieline. And prior to that, Evans was in instinct and out, while both were interviewed here and on welovesoaps. I think it’s getting too publicity hungry for both of them.
BTW, Evans and Claywell are acting like Keith Coulouris. He was on ATWT and when he was written out, all he did was write unflattering things to his fans abt ATWT, CBS and TPTB on his website’s message board. Has he ever been cast in a soap opera since? Evans and Claywell should learn from the classy Eden Reigel. Evans should not have tweeted abt OLTL’s “tactic” and Claywell should not have mentioned that he felt like OLTL kinda threw him under the bus. I don’t think that’d ingratiate them to ABC, other networks or other acting gigs. They should have taken the high road like Eden Reigel did w/ AMC. They let Reigel excellently act out Bianca’s coming out storyline w/ Susan Lucci, but AMC also let her act crap on AMC. Chuck Pratt actually had an interview where he blamed Rianca for not working bec Reigel left AMC. When asked abt that, Reigel had nothing but kind words for AMC. Reigel has been a true trooper. Now she’s on Y&R, the number 1 soap, while AMC claims it wanted Reigel so now they’re looking to recast.
