Scott Evans Dishes "Kish," Kiss
Scott Evans joined the cast of "One Life to Live" in late 2007 in the recurring role of sweet and sorta geeky police officer Oliver Fish, but over the last few months has seen himself placed on the front burner in a much-anticipated -- and buzzed about -- upcoming romance with the character of Kyle (Brett Claywell). Currently, Fish is totally in denial that he's gay, and to prove it is dating his roommate Layla Williamson. On Thursday, August 6th's "OLTL," Kyle and Fish (dubbed "Kish" by many) shared a long-awaited kiss. We talked with Scott Evans to get his thoughts on the kiss, Fish, and all things "OLTL."
How does it feel to be part of a story that's gotten so much attention from a lot of different outlets?
It feels incredible! It's something I certainly didn't see coming at all. I joined the cast in a smaller role and it's just been getting more airtime. I had no idea where my character was going -- and then when it happened, it was awesome. To be part of a story like this [Fish and Kyle's romance; Fish's coming out] is incredible.
So what's up with Fish? What's going through his head? He seems to be very blatantly denying that he's gay.
Right now, [he's in] an insane internal struggle -- which a lot of people go through, depending on where they come from and their backgrounds. He was raised in a really conservative background. So there's this huge struggle trying to figure out what to do -- if anything.

Yes! Spencer Truman is the obvious answer. I knew Lindsay is coming back and I have missed Spencer greatly. What a gorgeous, devious, mean, nasty, and mean spirited villain! That would be a great plot.
About Fish. Have any of you noticed that it is always the handsome, intelligent, talented, compassionate guys who reveal they are gay? What about Richard Chamberlain? We gals are cheated out of a lot of really great guys.
I read that Rex's father is Spencer Truman! It may make sense, Lindsay is back on and may be released for NOT murdering him.
Kyle and Fish are both great characthers. It takes all kinds and what is on the surface is not always what you see. Remember, this is a soap opera and it is reflecting what is going on in America. I bet that Kyle comes out a good guy in the long run.
I think teas secret should be that she had a child with todd years ago and gave HER away. the child should b almost grown up and blair should find her. gigi should cheat on rex with schuyler. matthew should have surgery i hope tou like my ideas...
Let's get another love interest for Oliver Fish. Kyle is way too much of a low life. Oliver who is genuinely good hearted should not have to scape the bottom of the barrel. And, don't let this storyline be a clone of ATWT.
What a great scene between Kyle and Oliver! Not only was the kiss emotionally intense, but the dialogue was full of such energy.
Can't wait to see how their relationship develops...it has the potential to be strong, sweet, sexy, and full of intense love.
I think the Kish story is gross and wish they weren't doing it.
OK, please....if you are going to have gay men kissing on the show, please don't french kiss. I thought when kyle kissed fish I was going to throw up. Eeewwww!!!
I love my M/M! Thanks OLTL for the great writing so far. These twoi mght end up being my favorite characters on daytime today.
Great Acting, Great Story, Great Timing and Great Show. You can't please all the people 100% of the time. There is a story for everyone in OLTL. Soap Opera's reflect real life. They help shape us with what is going on in the world and make us see what is different in life. Mr. Valentini keep up the good work and maybe bring back Marcie and Michael.
Kyle and Fish are AWESOME!
