Daytime Soap Clip: Oliver puts his feelings for Kyle on the line as gay storyline grows on “One Life to Live”

Poor Oliver Fish.

He’s made so much hard-earned progress in recent weeks from coming out to himself, then his roommates then his parents. Oliver (played so well by Scott Evans) realizes that Kyle is the love of his life after pushing him away for so long. On Friday’s One Life to Live, he tells Kyle exactly how he feels.

But Kyle (Brett Claywell) seems to have already moved on. He tells Fish: “I’m finally in a good place. I’m back in med school, I’m gonna be a doctor! And I’ve got a good guy (Nick) and he’s out and proud of it. He’s an activist and we’re in the thick of it and it’s exciting and we’re good together. I’m sorry Oliver, it’s just not gonna work between us.”

Oliver responds: “So he’s it? He’s the one?”

Kyle: “Could be. He’s good for me.”

Oliver: “Why don’t I believe you?”

Before Nick (Nicholas Rodriguez) shows up to interrupt this break-up talk Oliver and Kyle never had the chance to have, he’s seen at the home of Vicky Buchanan (I don’t know her current last name) who is played by five-time Emmy winner Erika Slezak. He is interviewing she and her husband (played by Brian Kerwin) about their LGBT policies since Vicky is running for mayor of Lanview.

Also there is David Vickers (Tuc Watkins) who is campaign manager for Dorian Lord (Robin Strasser), Vicky’s opponent.

Vicky has a lesbian assistant campaign manager and gay speechwriter and has offered same-sex benefits at her newspaper. Dorian, David says, also employs gay people. Who? “Andre. You’d love him. No one does hair like Andre. Hair. Make-up. And a bit of personal shopping.”

Tuc Watkins is a hoot! He does these line readings so expertly. Later, he tells Dorian that she needs “a gay man in a big job.”

Dorian suggests that he be that gay man.

If David were to be gay, that means Tuc would be playing gay both in daytime and prime-time since he plays one-half of Wisteria Lane’s gay couple on Desperate Houswives!

But word has it that it’s gonna be Dorian who pretends to be gay.

Stay tuned!
