Part 47 and Part 48 : Rex proposes to Gigi; Stacy has second thoughts about having Fish’s baby; Kyle treats Jared at the hospital (Jared was attacked by a stranger at Buchanan Enterprises); Fish, called by John to the hospital to help investigate Jared’s attack, tells Kyle that he came out to his parents; Cris and Layla grow closer.

Also, a huge, MASSIVE spoiler regarding this storyline, and proof that OLTL is not only the "gayest" show on network TV but also possibly the most envelope-pushing show on network TV (daytime or primetime); read only if you want to be shocked and delighted.

Part 44 : Fish and Layla discuss whether he'll come out to his parents, but he might not have a choice when Cristian shows up with Fish's parents in tow.

By the way, both Brett Claywell (Kyle) and Nicholas Rodriguez (Nick) have hinted that some steamy stuff might be occuring soon on the show, with Rodriguez saying that OLTL will really be "pushing the envelope."

Again, no video clips today, as there was no Kyle and very little Fish, but here's the relevant info to keep you up to speed: by the end of the episode, the Llanview PD had been able to establish the exact location of the Russian Mobsters holding Starr and Hope hostage, and Fish is expected to play a part in the raid on the warehouse; meanwhile, Stacy took an inconclusive home pregnancy test to determine if Fish's swimmers finally got her pregnant when Rex & Gigi showed up, demanding that she go see the OBGYN; Gigi, suspicious that Stacy is faking the pregnancy, found the hpt box in the trash.

Today's episode had very little Fish in it and no Kyle, but here's the gist: Fish and John called an ambulance for Shaun, discovered Todd tied up in the closet, then when Sergei called Cole to demand a certain amount of cash and a jet to get them out of Llanview, Fish traced the call to a warehouse....

More importantly, advocate.com published a wonderful interview with Scott Evans and his mom, Lisa, where they discuss her upcoming role as Fish's conservative mother, and Scott's own journey out of the closet. It's actually a quite moving interview.

Part 33, Part 34 and Part 35 : Another eventful episode: Carlotta mistakenly assumes Cristian is gay; John and Fish rush to rescue Cole; Todd sends Shaun to protect Starr and Hope, but the Mayor and Sergei have other plans. (Sadly, not in these clips: That Bitch Téa Delgado ripping into Rachel on the witness stand and Nora slapping That Bitch Téa Delgado across the face in response.)
