What a joke! glaad has once again proven itself to be all about publicity instead of honoring the right people! OLTL just axed Kish and glaad gives the win to OLTL? If anyone should have won, it should have been GL thanks to Chappell’s acting and bec Chappell created Venice to reunite with Leccia and to give their Otalia fans what they want. glaad once again has proven what they’re about, not honoring the best in Daytime, but garnering publicity.

OLTL deserved to win the award and now the shows EP needs to rehire BOTH actor’s ASAP!

Frank gave Kish the axe!

OLTL deserved to win but I would have thought someone would have mentioned that they were fired and honored the actors. But I guess a press release was all that was needed… I’m quite disappointed and Brett’s tweet even mentions his confusion.

I think it is wonderful for Brett and Scott to have won this award – they deserved it. ABC, Frank Valentini and Brian Frons do not after they way they treated Brett and Scott during their firing. When Kish is gone from Llandview, so is this 30 year “mainstream” female fan.

VICTORY!!!!!!! It’s not over……

This is typical. ABC and GLAAD has had this kind of relationship since when Eden Riegel first started portraying Bianca on All My Children. Time and again, GLAAD ends up representing the entertainment industry to the community instead of the community to the entertainment industry. Anyone else remember GLAAD helping to explain away ABC’s sudden firing of Brooke Smith after a same sex relationship was started between two female characters? ABC knows how to play the game to get the awards and recognition because they know GLAAD is too scared to ruin their relationships with the networks to do anything that might have some teeth to it.

That award belongs to Brett and Scott and i’m sure Ron Carlivati knows his story never would have won if it had not been for the brilliant acting of these 2 talented young men who brought Kyle and Oliver to life in such a real and believable way……the chemistry between them was so amazing it made it impossible not to fall in love with them and the love between their characters came across so strongly that their gender was irrelevant……I adore them and
loved their beautiful romantic love story since it started and they will forever be my favourite couple….i will be forever grateful to Brettt and Scott for the joy they gave me in watching their wonderful performances and i will miss them terribly……ABC has made a monumental mistake in ending this story and letting these wonderfu actors go and in such a disrespectful way they deserved better and so did their loyal fans.,,..as a member of that mainstream audience ABC speaks of i am outraged to be blamed for the ending of this story and when kish leaves i will be leaving with them. and wont return until they do…
shame on you ABC………

I’m sorry but the story of Otalia was more compelling. Breese was good in the beginning till ABC writer Pratt assainated Reese’s character and also lied to Eden about giving her a s/l worth love story

I think Gladd should step in before the awards shows and try to help the writers and sponsers of TV shows understand and portray the LGBT community in a better light but they don’t
The fact is they gave the award to them because of the firing and the media surrounding it.
GLADD is a very disappointing award show for the fact is they reconize and honor more GAY characters then they ever do lesbians and if you look back on the awards that where between the Male verses Females the male GAY characters ALWAYS won and this ain’t the first couple to ever be fired because of the same-sex story line
In most EVERY show that has a lesbian character/couple they either have them go back to men or kill them off or just have them disappear from them show completely. There are Gay male couples on TV today but there is only 1 lesbian being portrayed on TV and that is Arizona from Grey’s Anatomy and her girlfriend is BI which means sooner or later they will have Callie go back to men.
Gladd is a disappointment all the way around on how they handle anything

I hope every time Frank Valentini and Ron Carlivati look at that GLAAD award that THEY won, I hope they both choke on it! The two people who WON this award (Scott Evans and Brett Claywell) are no longer part of the show. Ron did some great writing (at least in the beginning …….. as of late, it SUCKS)! But, I’m sure that is intentional.

I highly doubt any other two actors could have brought this storyline to life and done the job that Scott and Brett did with it. They were mezmerizing and “right on” in every single scene they did. What a shame that the show itself receives the GLAAD award and not the actors who bring the storylines to life.

The same will happen with the Emmys. Both Scott and Brett received pre-Emmy nods. However, because of everything that has happened and all the bad publicity for what was otherwise a WONDERFUL storyline with PHENOMINAL actors, these two young men will likely not even get a regular Emmy nod because people will want to avoid the whole situation like the plague. So, if they don’t get an Emmy nod (which both so rightfully deserve and should have), then they obviously can’t win an Emmy award (which they also rightfully deserve and SHOULD have).

These two young men have helped OLTL earn several awards with this storyline. For them to be treated like they have been is a true CRIME on humanity. Now I understand why it was Scott Evans who was given a “Humanitarian” award this past week. He and Brett are BOTH class acts and true gentlemen.

Maybe OLTL and ABC Daytime should receive a “HUMILITY” award for “Stupidest Decision Ever Made by an Executive Producer” of a daytime network soap.

So long OLTL and ABC Disney network! You will no longer be part of my viewing!

i agree that scott and brett should get the award not oltl the writting but brett ans scott were very good characters and i would like to see they both get nominated and win another emmy award again and bring brett claywell as (kyle leiws) and scott evans as (oliver fish) back on screen with their on going raising seirra rose again and we do need to bring them back to the show again and with their on going storyline.
