Days Of Our Lives Clip: Will Freaks Out After Sonny Kisses Him, They Have An Argument & Sonny Ends Up Talking To Brian.
Sonny and Will friendship finally escalated to the next level after Sonny kisses him. Will freaks out, and the two men have an argument.
The acting in this scene is excellent, Freddie Smith he makes the audience believe that his character Sonny is deeply in love with Will. I appreciated the sensitivity and the facial expressions of both actors during the brief kiss. It is important for viewers to look at Freddie’s eyes during this scene because prior to the kiss the audience can see his eyes are full of passion and desire. By contrast, Chandler Massey’s character Will illustrates with his face he is confused about his feelings. Will is conflicted, he is obviously attracted to Sonny but he isn’t comfortable being gay.
After Will lashes out at Sonny, obviously he is hurt because he got rejected by Will. For almost a year, Sonny has tried to be supportive of Will, listening to all his problems. After the disaster in Salem, I think Sonny couldn’t hide his feelings anymore and he kissed Will. In a previous episode, Will was confronted by the homophobe Tad so he wasn’t in a good place emotionally.
However, Will lashing out at Sonny is cruel and unfair. I can see Sonny’s perspective that Will has lead him on for months! For many months fans of the show have noticed Will flirting with Sonny by rubbing his leg, holding him in a deep embrace, telling him how special and wonderful he is. Will has presented Sonny with mixed signals and so Sonny thought that Will has the same feelings.
Another point to consider though is, I can also see Will’s perspective he didn’t specifically tell Sonny he is sexually attracted to him or he wanted to be kissed. One of the flaws with the writing on Days of Our Lives is, the writers haven’t illustrated to the audience that Will is in love with Sonny. This gay romance is too one sided, it is told mostly from Will’s point of view and the audience hasn’t seen Sonny’s perspective.
According to Freddie Smith’s recent media interviews, he indicates that Sonny’s point of view is going to be explored more in the next few months. I hope this is true, because the writing needs to improve.
Some fans are upset because in Wednesday’s episode, Will is going to have sex with Gabi his female friend. A few months ago on Days Of Our Lives Will came out of the closet declaring he is gay. Some fans argue that the writers and producers of Days are homophobic.
I am hopeful that Brant Daugherty’s character Brian stays on the show for a while. In the final scene in the coffee house, Brian is clearly attracted to Sonny and he seems very bold and confident. Brian senses Sonny is upset and he wants to talk to him.
I think Brian is a more suitable love interest for Sonny than Will because he is openly gay and proud. Brian also seems more mature than Will and he seems to be very careful in showing Sonny that he’s attracted to him. For the next few episodes, Brian is going to act like a confidant to Sonny he is going to listen to his problems as he whines about Will. However, in the July 2nd 2012 episode Brian warned Sonny that Will is a closet case and he’s wasting his time with him.
I thought it was wonderful when Will walks into the coffee house and he sees Brian removing the creme from Sonny’s nose and face. Will is clearly jealous but I think he needs to be because he’s taken Sonny for granted for far too long.
TV Guide Interview: Good News Actress Nadja Bjorlin Returns To Days Of Our Lives In January 2013!!
Will it be the revenge of the hooker? Fan fave and raving beauty Nadia Bjorlin is heading back to NBC’s Days of Our Lives as Chloe Lane just a year after being let go as part of a major cast purge. The actress will report for work in late September but is not expected to hit the air until…wait for it…January 4, 2013. Yep, Days is shooting that far ahead these days. But Bjorlin is worth the wait, baby! TV Guide Magazinehad an exclusive chat with the star about her rocky road atDays, Chloe’s shady past as the town prostie and how the character plans to reclaim her dignity.
TV Guide Magazine: Your return to Days has been rumored for months! Last February, it was reported in a magazine that talks between you and the show had hit a “stalemate.” Then in April, we read your return was “imminent.” What was all that hoo-hah about?
Bjorlin: [Laughs] I find out a lot about myself through reading magazines. Most of the time I’m, like, “Uh…really?” There was a little bit of talk throughout the year. “Would you ever be interested in returning?” That sort of thing. But never anything concrete. I never put much thought into it so nothing was ever “imminent” and there was certainly no “stalemate.” Now the timing is right. It’s been a year since we’ve seen Chloe. [Laughs] Hopefully, the audience has forgotten what she was up to.
TV Guide Magazine: You mean her tragic and bizarre turn to the world’s oldest profession? Yeesh! She’s had the craziest trajectory from Ghoul Girl…
Bjorlin: …to Call Girl! [Laughs] Chloe is so near and dear to my heart and even I would have written her off after that storyline. She was spiraling out of control and the fans had stopped being able to recognize the character. I couldn’t recognize her, either! A lot of what made Chloe so lovable — her integrity, her fun, her wit — was gone and I don’t blame anyone for dropping her from the show. There wasn’t a whole lot left for her to do but, at the same time, I never felt like her story was done. There was no huge, climactic ending for her. She just went off to be with her child and sing in a nightclub in Chicago…which is, like, 45 minutes from Salem.
TV Guide Magazine: What happens when Chloe returns?
Bjorlin: I have heard she’s going to come back as her old self again, the Chloe with good self-esteem, a stronger and more confident Chloe who can really stand up for herself and not be bullied. Toward the end there, she was being bullied by everyone in Salem! No more. She’s coming back a lot more mature and who knows? [Laughs] Maybe she’ll get some revenge! There are so many possibilities for the character and they’ve only told me a little bit right now because they don’t trust me with the information. It’s been very hush-hush. [A Days rep adds that Chloe’s return will be heavily centered around her son, Parker.]
TV Guide Magazine: At least there was one good thing about your termination last year — it became part of your E! reality show Dirty Soap and made for some damn fine TV. But I gotta ask. When they showed you leaving Days at the end of your last day, we saw you carrying a bouquet of flowers and taking this long, poignant, gorgeously lit solo walk out of the studio. That was all bulls–t, right?
Bjorlin: No, it wasn’t! It really happened. OK, maybe they did make it look more dramatic than it was. It was sad, just say it! It was pathetic and sad and there I was leaving the studio all by myself. They made it seem like no one even bothered to walk me to my car and say goodbye. Showbiz can be cruel. [Laughs]
TV Guide Magazine: Your mom, Fary, was the surprise breakout star of that show. Were you ever humiliated, especially when she urged you to dump your live-in boyfriend [former Days star Brandon Beemer] and then tried to match you up with that creepy guy on that ambush lunch date?
Bjorlin: I was, like, “God, mom. Really? Lord!” Now you see what I grew up with. There is a reason I turned out to be an actress. Most actors don’t grow up with sweet, vanilla parents. All my friends think she’s hilarious. Yeah, she’s hilarious all right…unless she’s your mom! [Laughs] I love her dearly but she can be embarrassing and horrifying.
TV Guide Magazine: You, Crystal Chappell and Louise Sorel were among those sacrificed for the great Days reset that brought back Deidre Hall, Drake Hogestyn and the rest. Did you watch any of it? If so, how did you feel when the reset didn’t do what it was supposed to do? Vindicated?
Bjorlin: I did watch a little bit, but not religiously. Hey, it’s always a gamble in this business. We all want our last four soaps to remain on the air so you gotta try things. [Laughs] But, hell-ooo, they were missing Chloe so what were they expecting? Without Chloe, you could have put De Niro onDays and nothing would happen! Let’s get real here!
