:: sigh ::

...and so it begins.

I never thought anything could make me cling to Rex & Gigi, or Todd & Blair part 56.

I have a feeling Kyle & Fish are gonna make me hastily appreciate every other couple I previously disliked.

Great points! It is a serious risk, but...

LMAO. It will be very interesting to see if this goes anywhere. It is a sign of how much mistrust shows have sown that -- I think -- not a single person has high expectations for this.

That's exactly my worry. I don't need another mass of rampid internet fans who watch those clips over You Tube writing and telling people what an amazing show it is and on and on, but wouldn't be able to tell you to shakes of what else is going on. but I'm not surprised it took them this long, and I'm not looking forward to what comes next.

I'll withold judgement until it airs, but if I smell bullshit I'm complainin.

I don't think it's all that unbelievable that Fish, after fixating on Layla and sleeping with Stacy, would be gay...well more like bisexual. Obviously from the look on Fish's face upon running into Kyle for the first time, his fling with Kyle is something he'd like to put behind him, or in a better word, is ashamed of. How hard is that to believe? Such a thing occurs everyday, especially where I live. So I wouldn't say it's exactly out of the blue, it's the timing that worries me and the fact that we have two actors who are on recurring featured in this story.

For any gay couple to work in Daytime, it has to involve at least one male character that is liked by the majority of the audience. Fish and Kyle are barely relevant and though both actors might turn out to make this work, right now it just seems like a ploy to play at the homosexual demographic rather than a thoughtful and thought-out storyline.

And Nelson mentioned in his latest column that C.J. is being recast and he's wondering if it's the gay character "Griffith" there's apparently a breakdown/audition script for. So are we looking at a rainbow triangle here?

Rex and Gigi have soiled the frontburner for what seems like years. Their relationship now consists of how many different ways he can tell her she's a slut. Todd has violated Blair in too many ways to count, he's the biggest sociopath in daytime, and both of the actors seem to hate the pairing (although KDP is more charitable than TSJ).

Unless Fish and Kyle take up airtime 5 days a week, go around raping people, and have a half-dozen characters devoted to propping them, I'm probably never going to see them in the same realm as Rex or Todd or Gigi.

I think we're all giving them much more prominence than the show ever will.

It's exactly why I can't get on the "hey, as long it's getting people to watch" train. Yeah, they're watching, but they're watching on YouTube. I'm guessing there are gonna be four groups of people who are interested/supportive of this story: A, the people who are regular (or semi-regular) OLTL viewers who are jumping for joy and ready to see them do the story; B, the people who are regular (or semi-regular) OLTL viewers who are apprehensive about how it's going to go; C, the people who are NOT regular (or semi-regular) OLTL viewers who will watch clips and/or an episode or two to see the story; and D, the people who are NOT regular ( or semi-regular) OLTL viewers who aren't gonna go out of the way to watch clips or episodes, but will read a spoiler or recap here or there to stay in the know.

And there, limping along way behind the others, is the group of people who are NOT regular (or semi-regular) OLTL viewers who will tune in to the show for this story and in the process become fans of the whole show.

Not to mention Fish has spent most of his time fawning over his obvious crush, John McBain... Seriously, I looked at that as an indicator.

As late as my early 20's, I was very much in the "Fish" circumstance. So just because Fish slept with a woman once, and chased Layla around in a chaste manner, to me does not define him as straight.... It definitely didn't define me as such, and I'm sure it's a more common circumstance than we realize.

Yup!

Especially because Fish's portrayer depicts his background as 'conservative'. If you're not expecting acceptance in your life, then you're more likely not to self-accept...at least if you're not a rebel. So I find this completely and totally plausible. In this case, it's not like some other soap-gays...this man HAS had sex with dudes (it's being called "experimentation"). It's just that he has not chosen to accept the label of "gay" or even "bisexual". Yet.

    • To me, that made no difference. The point stands whether Eva wants to be a Dupree or not. Anita was 110% on top of things. Also it's a logical inference that Eva might be interested in having a place in her supposedly real family. Frankly though I wonder if Eva knows how to feel ... yet. She could really be confused.
    • Does Jack ever dress in drag during that early '00s period where he was trying to get Jennifer back...or does he just fake being gay around then?

    • Concluding 1976... Raymond Schafer arrives in Springfield and begins an extensive probe into Malcolm’s death, puzzling Ed, who wonders why most of Schafer’s question sessions keep turning back to Rita’s involvement with Malcolm. Ed assures the man that Rita’s only connection with Malcolm was as his nurse; he is unaware that Schafer knows a great deal more about Rita than he does. Just to protect Rita, Ed has Mike check on Schafer’s credentials, and learns that he’s a  well-respected criminal attorney. The waitress at the restaurant where Malcolm suffered his stroke tells Schafer that the woman who was with him reacted very professionally to the sudden emergency, as if she were a nurse. Realizing that her little sister has fallen hard for Tim, Rita warns him that she’s very vulnerable and innocent, but Tim tells Rita her advice isn’t necessary. But Tim then receives a plum job offer to be chief neurological resident at a prestigious Philadelphia hospital and can’t pass up the opportunity. Evie is crushed by the news and spends the next several days at home crying. Joe Werner, fully recovered, has accepted a post as a medical aide in a destitute village in India and leaves alone, with Sarah to follow him later. Justin asks Sarah to consider a partnership with him in private practice, but she explains that she thrives on the hospital atmosphere. When a call comes from India that Joe has had another massive attack, Sarah leaves on the next available flight and arrives only moments before he dies. The painful news is relayed back to Cedars at once. Sara returns from India a heartbroken woman, but the day-to-day involvement of raising T.J. and of her career seem to be her salvation. Justin shows a surprisingly compassionate and understanding side to Sara, but, ironically, Justin’s ex-wife, Jackie, arrives in Springfield with her diabetic father, who is suffering from a heart attack. In the process of consulting with Justin on her father’s condition, Jackie comes face to face with Sara for the first time since their college days. Evie’s heartbreak at Tim’s departure turns to fury and hatred when she inadvertently discovers a letter which Tim wrote to Rita just after he left. In it he concedes that Rita was right about Evie’s vulnerability where he was concerned but reminds Rita that he badly hurt her in the same way she feared Evie would suffer. Evie is now sure that Rita somehow forced Tim to leave town and is livid at the idea that Tim was Rita’s lover. She insists she’s cutting off her relationship with Rita and will pay her back for any help she’s received in the past. Ben and Hope’s wedding plans are off, as Ben, while still insisting he’s innocent, won’t explain why the robbery evidence points to him. Hope feels his unwillingness to tell her the truth makes marriage to him impossible, but confides to Ann that she is miserable without him. Ben has echoed these sentiments to Mike but won’t confide in him, either as Hope’s father or as an attorney.   Holly is trying very hard to build a life without Ed, but since she sees him virtually every day at work,she’s unable to put him out of her mind. She accepts a date with a member of the hospital administration staff but is unable to avoid making comparisons between Ed and this young man and winds up alone, sadly holding Ed’s picture and recalling how much she loves him. Believing that the hospital board’s conclusions on Grainger’s death have settled the question once and for all, Rita has regained her self-confidence, and her romance with Ed is growing daily. They admit their love for each other, and Ed confides that he intentionally  held back with Rita for fear of making another mistake. Rita then tells Ed she has never married because for her marriage must be forever. Rita’s mother realizes that Rita is truly in love when she confides in her that she doesn’t understand why she’s been so lucky in having him love her and how she wants to be the very best person she can be for him. Ed proposes marriage to Rita and gives her time to think about it before answering. Rita painfully realizes that her past could, if it rose again against her, make a life with Ed a lost dream. But Raymond Shaefer has been quietly but efficiently carrying on his investigation and has learned that Grainger argued with Rita at her apartment. He presents the evidence he’s compiled to District Attorney Eric Van Gelder, who decides the case warrants further investigation. Rita goes to Ed’s office to tell him she loves him but can’t marry him, that she doesn’t deserve him and “can’t do it to him.” As she turns from a confused Ed to leave, she finds the district attorney and a police officer outside Ed’s door, waiting to arrest her. Ed, insisting that a serious mistake has been made, calls Mike to help her as Rita, shocked and humiliated, is taken under arrest through the hallways of the hospital in which she works. Mike manages Rita’s release on bail only after she has had to submit to the degrading booking procedure. Mike sees her alone at her apartment, explaining he can help her only if she tells him the whole truth. Rita equivocates until Mike mentions Texas, indicating to Rita that he knows at least some of the story. Van Gelder has, in fact, let Mike see the bulk of evidence in the case against Rita, to convince him her arrest wasn’t a capricious whim. Rita explains to Mike that Malcolm believed she intentionally vilified him to his father, to do him out of his rightful inheritance, and then wanted his father dead to collect her money. Mike expresses his appreciation of Rita’s honesty, promising to help her. But Rita’s tormented dreams confirm that she hasn’t yet told all the truth, and after Peggy visits, expressing firm support, Rita tells Roger she has to reveal his part in the story. Roger painfully tells Rita about his being Christina’s father to show her that if Ed knew, it would end Rita’s chances with him forever. Rita, who was ready to tell Ed the whole story, now realizes how risky that would be. Adding to Rita’s pain is her forced leave of absence from the hospital until she’s cleared and the embarrassment of seeing her name in the headlines.

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
    • I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story. @alwaysAMC Thanks to slick jones' cast list I was able to see that Nikki Rene played Tina. Not much on her, as you mentioned. Tap and a few Broadway listings (it doesn't help that a younger actress with a similar name is in a lot of roles).

    • Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...
    • And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow
