Although Kyle Lewis will make an appearance later this week, Monday marked the final appearance on One Life to Live of Kyle (Brett Claywell) and Oliver Fish (Scott Evans).
It’s sad and makes me mad that the best-written gay couple ever to appear on a daytime soap in the US are being kicked to the curb. I will not be able to watch the show for awhile, if ever.
I’ve already been distancing myself from the show which is why you will find all of the Kish scenes from the past few weeks all here in one post rather than incrementally. In the episode that aired Monday, Oliver wins custody of Sierra Rose, the baby he fathered in a drunken one night stand.
“This baby will have everything she needs, especially love,” he tells the judge.
In the clips below, we see what went on leading up to the custody decision, how Oliver went from not wanting to be a father to being completely in love with his child. But, unless the show has a change of heart and can secure the services of the actors involved, we won’t get to see Oliver and Kyle as parents or see how Oliver’s parents would react to being grandparents, or see Oliver’s BFF’s Layla and Cristian be surrogate aunt and uncle.
No big exit for this new family, just last seen walking out of the courtroom into soap limbo.
They deserved better and the fans deserved better.
