Meet the other gay actor playing a new gay character on "One Life to Live"

I think OLTL is doing a great job so far with the Fish/Kyle story; I know there were rumors that TPTB were going to bring back a legacy character as gay to immediately throw a wrench in Fish & Kyle's budding romance, but I'm actually relieved that this is just a short term distraction. Let's see Kish realize their love and passion for each other, settle down a bit, THEN throw a third wheel at them.

...to actually be interesting?

I'm loving that they are getting gay actors to play these roles.

I`ve watched all the clips on Youtube so far and I`m hooked. And this new guy is also quite adorable.

Just a few words about Nick: He's a terrific singer-actor who made his Broadway debut in the title role of ''Tarzan.'' He's played Lun Tha opposite Lou Diamond Phillips in ''The King and I'' and he co-starred with Adam Lambert in ''Ten Commandments: The Musical,'' subbing many times for its star, Val Kilmer. Most recently, Nick was a knockout singing ''Just in Time'' at ''The Leading Men IV'' benefit for Broadway Cares, and from July 1-19, he's appearing in the Off-Broadway musical ''The Toxic Avenger.''

I've been watching OLTL for the past two weeks and nothing I see suggests Kyle and Fish are gay or have a past relationship. Fish went on a date with his female roommate and Kyle just had a passing scene in the park and at the gym with Fish. None of these scenes screems gay to me.

If I didn't know there was a gay storyline I would just see them as two characters who see each other in passing. None of their lines suggest a romantic past relationship and when Fish told Kyle in the gym that he went out with whats-her-name, Kyle more or less patted him on the back in that straight guy way saying "yeah she's beautiful".

This does not sound gay to me. Even when I was growing up and "in the closet" I never commented on any girl's appearance to another guy. I never even noticed girls let alone pretened to be attracted to them.

So far with what I have seen of OLTL there is no gay story or subtext for that matter.

 

Live Long and Prosper

I stopped watching OLTL, but I've catching up because of Fish and Kyle. People were talking about something going on between them even before the show made it official that it was a "gay" storyline.  I definitely see subtext there. Kyle commented on Layla's looks in a taunting manner. Fish's reaction is not one of being told your date is hot. The two have constantly referenced a past relationship  and Fish's "don't call me that" when Kyle called him Oliver showed they had a more intimate relationship. Layla even commented in the park that something was going on between them.
