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!”
All My Children
Mark Consuelos Celebrates Kelly Ripa’s 56th Birthday on ‘Live,’ But Remember When Wendy Williams Outed the Couple as Married Before Anyone at ‘All My Children’ Knew?
On the Friday, October 2 episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, the morning talk show marked the 56th birthday of Kelly Ripa (ex-Hayley Vaughan Santos, All My Children).
During the opening segment, Mark Consuelos (ex-Mateo Santos, All My Children) humorously comparing his wife to both Gandhi and Groucho Marx, reflecting on both her comedic ability and peaceful ways.
Later, they went on to discuss the origins of her name and the most popular picks to name babies back in the year she was born, 1970. They were Kimberly, Lisa, and Jennifer for girls and Michael, David, and James for the boys.
WHAT’S IN A NAME?
Ripa recalled that she learned she was almost named Kim. However, their neighbors at the time had two daughters Kelly and Kim, which is what her parents wanted to call them, but they settled on Kelly and and her younger sister, Linda.
At the conclusion of the episode, Mark rolled out a huge cake for his wife. It was, “Happy birthday from all of us here at Live and at home.” Next, he cut the cake, and Ripa grabbed his face and gave him a “thank you” kiss.

KELLY AND MARK TRIED TO KEEP THEIR VEGAS WEDDING ON THE DOWN LOW
All of this brings back memories of how Kelly and Mark’s Las Vegas wedding ceremony went public in 1996 while the two were still on All My Children playing Mateo Santos and Hayley Vaughan. In essence, they were outed by then radio host Wendy Williams! They discussed it on the talk show back in 2024.
In fact, the duo hid their marriage from their All My Children castmates for months, until they found out Williams got wind of the nuptials and spread the intel on the airwaves.
The two recalled their secret wedding on a 2024 episode of Live! “We’d eloped. It’d been a few months at that point. We’d been married for three months, nobody at All My Children knew we were even dating, much less married to each other. We’re brushing our teeth and we’ve got Wendy Williams’ radio show on. We’re listening, and she’s like, ‘I’ve got celebrity dish!”
EYEWITNESS
Next Ripa continued, “The celebrities,’ I guess they had a broad use of the term back then, was the fact that ‘two soap stars from All My Children, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos eloped in Las Vegas.’ There was this eyewitness that worked in the Clark County courthouse that said we eloped, and the news broke, and we had to tell everybody we were married.”

TUNE-IN: ‘Beyond the Gates’ Banneker Homecoming Episodes, EP Sheila Ducksworth Speaks on Impact HBCUs Have in Real Life
As previously reported, kicking off today, is a two-part Beyond the Gates, when The Duprees gather to celebrate Banneker University’s homecoming weekend.
The producers and writers are taking an opportunity to spotlight the rich traditions of the long-held tradition of attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) through its fictional university.
The episodes are today on CBS and stream on Paramount+ on Friday, October 2 and next week on Monday, October 5, where in true Beyond the Gates fashion, there will be some surprising drama that ensues when someone shows up!

BANNEKER REFLECTS THE IMPORTANCE OF HBCUS
Sheila Duckworth, (executive producer, Beyond the Gates) spoke to Soaps.com to give some insight on the decision for the series to illustrate the ties that bind with HBCUs.
“It was important that we have this school as almost a character on our canvas, right from the beginning. Beyond even education, HBCUs have been pivotal when it comes to everything from economic progression and fostering a sense of community to the development of leadership skills,” explained Ducksworth. “From the beginning, we wanted to illustrate that what the Duprees are able to do in the world was a direct reflection of the impact HBCU’s have in real life.”
EVERYTHING HAS ITS PURPOSE
The EP talked about how purposeful the elements that integrate Banneker into the overall story of Beyond the Gates are including: the Dupree family door knocker that is a lion, the mascot for the fictional university, plus, the upcoming fight song that the cast will sing together on the Monday, October 5 episode, and the painting the hangs at Fairmont Crest.
That portrait of Vernon Dupree’s (Clifton Davis) father, George Cheeks Dupree, that hangs prominently at the country club, was named after CBS executive George Cheeks (now Chairman of TV and Media, Paramount), and as Ducksworth says of the legacy of Vernon’s father, “He was the architect of Fairmont Crest.”
So, are you looking forward to these episodes honoring HBCU traditions with the Dupree and the Richardson clans? What surprises do you think might be in store come next week? Let us know via the comment section below.
Days Of Our Lives
‘General Hospital’ Alum Tajh Bellow Fills In for ‘Days of our Lives’ Tyler Joseph Andrews in the Role of Theo Carver
After an earlier post on Thursday, October 1 about General Hospital alumni Tajh Bellow’s (ex-TJ Ashford) upcoming project from Issa Rae’s HOOPAE Digital, comes word that Bellow is temporarily stepping into the role of Days of our Lives Theo Carver to fill in for Tyler Joseph Andrews on the Peacock streaming soap opera.
According to TV Insider, Bellow will be making a one-day appearance next week on the October 6 episode of DAYS as Andrews was unable to make the tape date that was shot 10 months ago on a day last December. Andrews (pictured below) took over the role of Theo in September of 2025.
In Bellow’s upcoming episode as Theo, he will share scenes with Cherie Jimenez (Gabi Hernandez). A DAYS spokesperson tells the outlet that Bellow “stepped seamlessly into the role, and the cast and crew were grateful for his professionalism and commitment, albeit for only one episode.”

TAJH WILL BE SEEN IN MULTIPLE PROJECTS IN OCTOBER
As General Hospital fans know, Tajh played the role of TJ Ashford from 2018 to his last appearance in December of 2024. Along the way, he received two Daytime Emmy nominations for his performances as TJ, the last being in 2025 in the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Daytime Drama Series category.
In addition, bellow along with Y&R alum Loren Lott will be seen starting on October 14 in the new Love Island spoof series, The Compatibility Experiment. The show will drop exclusively on TikTok and the PineDrama platform.
The Compatibility Experiment gives a satirical look at reality dating shows, think Love Island! The story centers around Kelvin (Bellow) and Camila (Lott), whose relationship is put to the test when they join a reality show to try to win a the million dollar prize.
So, what do you think of Tajh stepping in for Tyler Joseph Andrews as Theo on DAYS? Perhaps, the soap opera liked his work that he might be considered for another role in the future bringing Bellow back to the soaps? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section 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.
