Today was the first Kish episode of One Life to Live that I've been able to watch in real time for months. The guys didn't have many scenes today, just three total, but I enjoyed what little we got.
Their scenes started with Kyle bringing Fish something to eat at the police station, knowing that he was working a late shift. Another cop walked by at that moment and asked Fish if his boyfriend had brought him dinner.
I didn't think there was anything all that sarcastic about the question, but Fish responded by declaring that yes, he had a boyfriend, that the other cop had seen him come out on TV and knew that Fish was gay and if his co-worker didn't like it, that was just too bad.
As it turned out, the other cop had just been going to tell Fish that there was some soda in the break room if he wanted any with his dinner. This cracked Kyle up while leading to an adorably apologetic reaction from Fish himself.
The other cop, who according to his name tag is called Flynn, told Oliver that he knew he'd been getting a lot of flack, but that his fellow cops weren't all jerks. After Flynn went back to wherever they keep the day players, Fish apologized to Kyle for going off and Kyle told him it was okay and pointed out that Oliver had just called him his boyfriend.
Fish rather nervously asked if calling Kyle his boyfriend was okay (but seriously, what gay guy wouldn't want to be called that by Fish/Scott Evans?!), and Kyle assured him that he'd liked it. Oliver noted that it would help if they could have a date that wasn't interrupted by Fish having to run off to a crime scene, but Kyle was sure that they'd get there.
Fish then invited Kyle to Thanksgiving dinner and after his boyfriend accepted the invitation Fish thanked him for bringing him the food and they shared a really sweet kiss in the (otherwise empty) hallway of the police station.
That was it for today, but they were really cute scenes. It was nice to see that Oliver is continuing to stand up for himself, especially on the job, and it's nice to see the two of them so obviously happy together at last! This being a soap, there will of course be drama ahead, but I always love quiet moments like this, between dramatic upheavals, when we see how in love two people are. It's even better when it's a fantastically written gay couple with a ton of chemistry!
I hope we get to see the two of them enjoying Thanksgiving together.
By the way, I haven't yet had a chance to get caught up with the last few months of Nuke scenes, but since I don't watch the rest of As the World Turns any more, that shouldn't take me too long. I just need to find the time to sit down and do it.
