Belated Fish Day: Baby Mamas and Psychos (Same Difference?)

There were a few Fish scenes on yesterday's One Life to Live, ones that didn't involve Kyle or Nick but rather Stacy (the woman who is secretly carrying his child) and the nefarious Mitch Lawrence.

Fish showed up at the hospital for his shift guarding Mitch's door and wasn't happy that the cop he was relieving had left his post to walk Mayor Lord (who'd just been ordered by Mitch to fire the Police Commissioner and replace him with a candidate of Lawrence's choice, or he'll go after her family) to the elevator.

While the door was unguarded, Stacy had snuck in to meet Rex's father for the purpose of her own crazy scheming and he'd promised her that he'd make sure his son ended up with her if she gave him her unborn child in return, a child he could then take back to his flock and mould in his own image.

Mitch seems to know everything that everyone is up to in Llanview, even when it's a big secret, so I was surprised that he didn't know that Stacy wasn't actually pregnant with his grandchild.

At any rate, Fish came in to make sure Mitch was still present and accounted for and quickly ushered Stacy out of the room. Fish advised Stacy to keep herself and her baby far away from Mitch Lawrence and mentioned that he felt a connection of sorts to the baby, since if things had been different, it could have been his child. Needless to say, Stacy made a hasty exit at that point.

Fish went back in to Mitch's room, where the psychotic and truly creepy (which is a credit to Roscoe Born since most daytime villains seem to be more of a joke than truly scary) preacher was waxing ecstatic about how he'd never truly die because his blood was flowing in this unborn child and how he's sorry that Fish, as a homosexual, will never know that joy.

I guess the joke is on you, Mitch!

I wonder what the reveal about the paternity of the child will do to Kyle and Fish? I'm hoping that Mitch will have Stacy killed right after the baby is born and Kish will then raise the baby as their own! Now that would be groundbreaking.
