OLTL's Scott Evans Covers Instinct Magazine

ONE LIFE TO LIVE star Scott Evans (Fish) appears on the cover of the December 2009/January 2010 issue of Instinct Magazine.

The increasing visibility of Fish (as the character’s fictional friends tenderly call him) hasn’t only padded the wallet of the blond, Massachusetts-born actor but has stimulated the wider GLBT community as well. Unbeknownst to Scott at the beginning of the year, Officer Fish was to be the catalyst for an important story line in the daytime drama—a story line that would bring the show’s gay subplots to a boil. In early summer, and after some speculation, the fictional boy behind the badge came out of the closet—a Fish out of water, so to speak.

Highlighting the story’s impact, gay and straight viewers alike have responded in droves by writing to the daytime star. “I’ve gotten letters from people saying that my story line has helped them, that they are in the closet and don’t know what to do. It’s extremely sad,” he laments. “The writers have been doing such a fantastic job with making it so real that a lot of people can relate to it.”
