Liveblogging "One Life to Live": Someone's gonna need a hug!

After today's show, which looks to be packed with gay drama, a certain cuddly stuffed bear cub may need a helluva big hug. Any takers?
Join us for the fun, and refresh for updates!
2:05PM EST: Dorian and DVTM are arguing over her "girl-on-girl nuptials" when Star and Langston come in and say "this wedding is NOT going to happen!
Nick and Amelia are having lunch and gloating over how clever they are to have pulled off "the plan" when Kyle comes in just in time to be told that he's part of "phase 2".
Oliver shows up at the police station, and McBain says "what are you doing here?" Oliver says "I know it's my day off, but ..", and McBain cuts him off, and says "that's not what I mean". Uh-Oh.
Matthew is off the plane (and looking like he has a brand new haircut. did they have a barber on the jet?). He's still furious with Bo and Nora for kidnapping him and taking him to England (and I don't blame him).
Kevin is there to greet them (and I instantly recognized actor Dan Gauthier, because I had a huge crush on him years ago. He played the Riker wannabe on ST:TNG, and he did a cable movie where he bared his buns. That's the kind of thing you don't forget.)
2:10PM EST: Kyle wants to know how he figures into "phase 2", and Amelia quickly excuse herself so Nick can "fill him in". Wait, that came out wrong. She tells Nick "i think if you speak from your heart, Kyle might say yes". Kyle turns to Nick and says "say yes to what?"
Star and Langston want an explanation about the wedding, and Dorian says "I didn't know how to tell you. How did I know you wouldn't shun me?" Both girls almost bust out laughing (as I almost did), and say "oh please, half of our friends are gay". They then threaten to tell the media about the lie.
2:25PM EST: Dorian confesses that she's doing it for the campaign, and Star and langston try to talk her out of it. Amelia comes in and says "if Dorian backs out now she'll look like a liar and a quitter, and Viki will win."
Oliver asks McBain if there's anything he can do to help with the investigation, and McBain says "you have to leave. You can't be on the premises".
Amelia tells Dorian about the mass gay wedding plan, as Nick does the same with Kyle. Kyle says "yeah, cause what gay wedding could possibly top Liza's". Nick tell him that they need couples willing to take the plunge, and says "so, wanna get hitched?" Oh, you sweet-talker, Nick.
McBain tells Kyle that he's been put on administrative leave, and Oliver says "is it because I'm gay?" Mcbain says no, it's because Elijah filed a complaint on behalf of Ross for "excessive force".
2:40PM EST: Okay, Amelia says "It's not a real wedding ... it sends a message of hope to our community". Um ... what? Dorian decides to go ahead with the mass wedding.
Nick tries to convince Kyle that this is the right thing to do. he says "we need committed couples for this. That's what we are, right?"
McBain tells Oliver that he needs to turn in his gun and badge, and wait to be called before Internal Affairs. He tells him "just keep your cool". uh-oh.
2:45PM EST: Kyle says "yes, we're a committed couple, but call me old-fashioned, but I need to know that the time is right before I get married". Nick says "is your real problem with this that the person you wish was proposing is Oliver?"
Oliver turns in his stuff, and his fellow cop tells him that everyone is pulling for him. As he leaves, he turns sadly and takes one last look around. Awww.
2:55PM EST: Star and Langston decide they want no part of the wedding, and DVTM agrees, saying "i'm not going to let you go through with this".
Kyle pretends that he's outraged that Nick would bring up Oliver's name. Nick says "I want you there beside me tomorrow". He gets down on one knee, and in front of everyone in the cafe, says "You're my guy. You are the smartest, sexiest, most fascinating man i've ever met, even if you are a bit old-fashioned. Kyle Lewis, will you make an honest man out of me? Will you ...".
Before he can finish, Kyle interrupts and says "Yes, Nicholas Chavez, I would be honored to marry you!" The whole cafe starts clapping ... except for Oliver, who entered just in time to hear Kyle say "yes".
Preview Time: Nick and Oliver have it out. PLEASE WON'T SOMEONE GIVE OLIVER A HUG NOW!You are here
