Members Vanguardian Posted March 12, 2010 Members Share Posted March 12, 2010 The one soap that I thought could be counted on not to submit to the haters, and now they're going to do the same thing that chicken-sh!t Y&R has done! Nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted March 12, 2010 Members Share Posted March 12, 2010 GLADD speaking out won't do a damn thing. Its all lip service from them. Pointless organization IMO. I almost feel they do more of a disservice to the community than a service, ESPECIALLY where daytime soaps are concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted March 12, 2010 Members Share Posted March 12, 2010 this is surprising. i liked them....Fish more than Kyle, though...Kyle was a little whiney for me...this is odd...they must have serious budget curs because they have now cut Schuyler, Shane, Oliver, AND Fish!...

Members Cheap21 Posted March 12, 2010 Members Share Posted March 12, 2010 WTF is going on at OLTL? Everyone's being dropped and fired left and right. Must be nervewracking showing up to work not knowing if you are going to read your character being killed off or written out in the script Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted March 12, 2010 Members Share Posted March 12, 2010 GLAAD's response is so fill-in-the-blank/formulaic. That's now the "speaking out" I want in response to something like this. Talk about the couple, for crissakes, and leave out all of those generic phrases that can be used to describe most every other gay couple on TV. And if Tika requested recurring, it's only because they've given her no reason to want to stay on contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted March 12, 2010 Members Share Posted March 12, 2010 Seriously. I'm beginning to feel a bit manipulated commenting on every new piece of information that's come out the past few days. I feel like we should all just sit back and wait a minute because there is more to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 12, 2010 Members Share Posted March 12, 2010 I can believe this was by her request. She is rarely used, she has been taking time off to film movies, and seeing Princess Jessica swoop into her story must have been an eye-opener. Remember all the debate over which black girl would be allowed to stay? I guess we got our answer...none... We're commenting on it because there isn't a lot on the show to talk about. You could always join our thrilling "Gigi deserves the baby"/"Gigi wanted to kill the baby" discussion in the show thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members catsmeouch Posted March 12, 2010 Members Share Posted March 12, 2010 Honestly, as a gay man, the firing of Kish doesn't bother me. Maybe it's because Fish is so unappealing as a character that I found them hard to root for. Brett Claywell's dismissal sucks because he's great. Too bad they couldn't make the Fish/Kyle/Nick triangle work. It didn't help that neither characters were related to the Lords, Cramers, or Buchanans. If OLTL ever tries a gay couple again, they should use members of core families, not peripheral characters like Kish who can easily be written out.

Members Ann_SS Posted March 12, 2010 Members Share Posted March 12, 2010 So true. LOL! Tika is no fool. She lost Brody to Jessica and it is only a matter of time before she loses Chris. The actor who plays Brody is likely next to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 12, 2010 Members Share Posted March 12, 2010 What good does being related to a Lord, Cramer, or Buchanan do? They refuse to bring in any male members of these families. To do so means they might be a threat to Rex, Todd, or John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
