Forbes March's new role on the show.

Oh that's right. I had forgotten about March.

Thanks for sharing, allatwitter.

I love how they manage to say that CE had problems playing a "gay role." Do they have spoilers that we don't know anything about?

ETA: I flove it when AE and The Advocate and sites like that ask questions like "Does it bother you to be gay and..." or "Do you realize that you're the only gay..." and the interviewee answers with something along the lines of "No, I never really thought about that" or "No, it doesn't really matter."

For example:

AE: Assuming it does become a romantic relationship, have you guys discussed how you're going to approach it? The reason I ask is because the fellows on a German soap opera we follow called Forbidden Love, they put all this time and effort into discussing their roles and how they're going to play each scene as a couple. How much have you and Brett talked about how you're going to approach the storyline?

Translation: So, yall gonna make it real sexy and make out and stuff? And like shove each other's tongues down the other's throat and stuff? Cuz that would be real hot, and that's what they do on Forbidden Love, the gay soap from Europe that we all love.

SE: It's all very new, this storyline. We're still learning about it. We've only been on set together a few times recently so we've only had a chance to talk about it in passing. I know next week, we are working together so we will be able to talk a lot more about it. I know he's open to talking about it and figuring it out. It's better to know what's going on than to go in there and be uncomfortable.

Translation: .......chill. the [!@#$%^&*]. out.

Why do they think the only soap where actors meet up to discuss their onscreen relationship is Forbidden Love? Talk about clunky interviews.

I wish they'd asked something like, "Assuming it does become a romantic relationship, have you guys discussed how you're going to approach it? The reason I ask is because the respected older actors on an American sitcom we follow called Happy Days, Marion Ross and Tom Bosley, put all this time and effort into discussing their roles and how they're going to play each scene as a couple. Did you hear about the time they got that one crucial, 'Sit on it!' past the censors?"

I just hope this s/l doesn't take the whole show hostage and that the influx of Kish fans who know nothing about the show other than that there's a gay s/l doesn't get out of control. OLTL's getting a handful of new cast members Terrell Tilford, Matt Walton, Kearra Giovanni, Amanda Setton, a recast of Ross Rayburne...so hopefully this Kish thing will be tempered by other things going on. Hopefully.

The only things that ever seem to hold OLTL hostage are the black holes known as Todd and John, and now Stacy. Those stories also never go anywhere, and are full of horrible or nonexistent acting.

Honestly I'd take John and especially Todd over Kyle and Fish any and every day of the week. I can even see liking Stacy if they ever get her away from Rex and Gigi. I don't mind this Fish/Kyle story, but I agree that it shouldn't overwhelm the show. Neither character is important enough and too often viewers act too touchy & crazed when it comes to gay plotlines on soaps.

Honestly I'd take John and especially Todd over Kyle and Fish any and every day of the week.

That's probably what we're going to be getting. Four or five days a week of Todd. I'd rather see this minor relationship between Fish and Kyle than another parade of women humiliating themselves for a sociopath who treats them like they charge by the hour, with brief interludes of Viki reminding us of what an awesome person Todd is, but I know that's not what OLTL is about now.

Did anyone else notice that Kyle dropped some ominous clues and foreshadowing hints about himself during his scenes with Gigi during Friday's episode? When she tried to flirt info. out of him, he told her that she didn't have anything he wanted...then later on when she accused him of being a player, he said that he didn't play women. This all intertwined with scenes of Fish getting ready for his date with Layla.

As long as Layla gets to walk in on Kyle after a night of lovemaking, sniff the air and snark, "Fish for dinner last night? "

There's a really interesting new interview with Scott Evans on Advocate: Fish Out of Water
