The same sex marriage aspect harming Kish should be addressed by the soap press when critiquing OLTL axing Kish. With a topic as splintering as same sex unions, it definitely hurt more that it helped Kish. Soaps are about escapism, not political debates. Even in someplace as stereotypically thought to be liberal like Manhattan, many people are not on board w/ same sex unions. And the ratings of a conservative news channel like Fox reflects that sentiment. Accrdg to TVGCanada’s newest report, it was Frank Valentini who axed Kish. So no one go blame Brian Frons or say some homophobic… Read more »
All this blaming the actors thing is nonsense. Scott Evans didn’t even have a contract so if they wanted to fire him for whatever reason, they could have done so without so much as a “See ya”. They replace actors and actresses all the time (even long-time actors and actresses who have contracts). If they were committed to these characters and their story, the producers would have simply recast or rewritten. I’m not buying this “actor parties too hard ” crap for one second. And if this is the reason he was fired, why fired both he AND Brett? Why… Read more »
Don’t kid yourself, Persa! I am a “stay-at-home straight women”; I am also what a lot of people would consider a “right wing, conservative voice”. That being said, hearing that KISH had been unceremoniously dumped was, for me, like a kick in the gut. I loved their story, and I was really looking forward to the (seemingly) upcoming custody battle story-line! I wanted to see KISH kick stupid GiGi’s Butt, in court, get their baby, and raise their little girl together! I wanted to see this couple go through all of the trials, tribulations, pride, and joy of parenthood together!… Read more »
TVGC already reported that it was Frank Valentini who axed Claywell and untalented Evans, and they axed Crystal Hunt prior to them. They were not axed bec of so called pressure by a so called right wing grp. Why is everything homophobic for fans of Kish or Nuke? There’s no conspiracy theory against Crystal Hunt. She was let go bec people disliked Stacy, her acting is awful and she didn’t translate to ratings. The same applied to Kish. Since valentini axed them, complain to him instead of blaming these anonymous right wing groups.
Explain “doesn’t resonate with mainstream viewers ? If it’s not about the “gay” what is it that doesn’t “resonate”? Is it both Scott and Brett who don’t “resonate”? Is it Kyle and Fish together or separately that doesn’t “resonate”? Did Kyle as a character “resonate” before the viewers realized he was gay? Did Fish? Scot Evans has never been on contract so did they just keep him around for almost 3 years because he’s pretty? Do tell. You’re ascribing things to me that aren’t about me. I’m an individual, not some sheep following along and I have a right to… Read more »
There’s no pt debating w/ you. As for who’s “complaining” about Kish, I’m a queer male viewer of soaps, I thought Claywell was a good actor and he was the only actor who carried Kish, but I thought Evans sucked at the role majority of the time. So to make a sweeping generalization that only homophobes with an agenda don’t like Kish is closeminded. People can or can’t like a same sex rel storyline based on other factors too, like performances (Claywell’s was good, Evans’s was awful) and writing (Carlivati clearly had many missteps). Majority of the Kish fans seem… Read more »
Persa .. if you watch the video, around 13 minutes in, Brett says something like they do a lot of scenes in 1 take. Doesn’t sound like partying is a huge problem if it’s 1 take.
I only watched OLTL because of Kish and when they are gone, I will be gone as well.
DO NOT stop this storyline. It has been one of the best depictions of just how gay people live in the non-accepting gay world. I lived in the closet for a long, long time — fifty years — going the marriage route for a number of years. It wasn’t until my husband’s death and subsequent psychiatric counseling for other issues that I finally came out. I have been out fourteen years. I never felt as much of whom I was and am until that day when I declared I can be my gay self. The story on One Life To… Read more »
