Days of Our Lives Clips: Will Horton Comes Out To Sonny, Lucas, & Sami.

Days of Our Lives is the last American soap to have a gay storyline on mainstream television. The character Will Horton’s coming out experience is well written but the pace is too slow.  Recently, Greg Meng the executive producer of Days of Our Lives stated that heterosexual women watch soaps for the romance.

I think some straight women would actually love to see Will and a relationship. The reticence of the Days of Our Lives producers is disappointing. How many times

can Will come out and tell everyone he’s gay? I believe Will deserves a love life just like the heterosexual characters. For instance, Chad and Melanie’s romance is so boring and they lack chemistry.

In this clip, Will’s mother Sami Brady walks out on her son when he tells her he is gay.

However, Will’s father Lucas is very compassionate, sensitive, and understanding. Lucas asks Will the right questions and I love the fact he questions Will about his friendship with Sonny.

In the second clip, you can see the intense chemistry Will and Sonny have with each other.  Will is in love with Sonny and vice versa. Sonny has more life experience than Will and he is afraid of being in love with his best friend.

I am surprised that Days of Our Lives writers haven’t given  Sonny more screen time he is a very  important part  of Will’s coming out story.
