It Is Official Sonny & Will Are The Worst & Most Boring Gay Male Couple On Television.

Usually, Days of Our Lives gay couple Sonny and Will are as exciting as burnt toast. Since the beginning of 2013, the homosexuality has been toned down in order to not upset the conservative homophobic viewers for Days of Our Lives. Sonny and Will do not have a passionate relationship their romance is very PG 13, very chaste, very dry, and very boring.

Today’s episode is interesting, only because the younger cast members were on. It was nice to see Sonny, Will, Tad, Chad, and Brian together. This is what is missing, the young characters having their own storyline together. The current baby storyline is extremely homophobic and offensive. On the American soaps, gay men have to have sex with women and get them pregnant. Gay men cannot have their own storylines, their own conflict their problems must involve a female.

Brant Daugherty is a very charismatic actor, although his character Brian is supposed to be the gay villain yet he is more exciting than Sonny and Will. It appears the writers of Days of Our Lives created the character Brian to bring angst to Sonny and Will but the writers didn’t anticipate that Brian would become very popular. The reason fans love Brian is because he isn’t as vanilla and dry as Sonny and Will. Unfortunately, this episode is probably the last time Brian is going to appear on the show and that’s a shame.

My main complaint with the gay storyline, is the fact the homosexuality is treated as an afterthought as just a sub plot.

The gay storyline wasn’t written for a gay male audience there are certain things that ring false and untrue to me. For instance, Sonny and Will are monogamous. I have a hard time believing two young gay men such as Sonny and Will are not exploring their sexuality. Gay male culture is all about sexual freedom, yes there are monogamous gay male couples. The truth is though, gay men have more access to sex than heterosexual men. Gay male culture is ignored by Days of Our Lives there is no discussion about condom use, or about safer sex.

Sonny and Will are not allowed to have sex with each other, so of course they can’t have sex with anyone else. People argue that that the Days of Our Lives writers are trying to illustrate a young gay male couple can have a romantic relationship. However, the truth is, Sonny and Will were created for a heterosexual female audience not a gay male audience.

The paucity of sex scenes, the inability for Sonny and Will to cheat on each other is not only unrealistic it also does not allow them to have character development.

It is pathetic in the year 2013, that there is this homophobic double standard that all the straight characters can have sex scenes but not the gays.

If NBC was really dedicated to the gay romance, they would have multiple gay characters on the show like other soaps. For instance, the British soap Hollyoaks has several gay characters all of them are interesting, exciting and also very flawed. The gays in Hollyoaks cause disruption, drama, and trouble.

I was hoping that Brian could have caused Sonny and Will a lot of chaos and havoc. NBC, wants their queers to be safe, and friendly and drama free.

In this episode, it is the conclusion of the sub plot that isn’t even a gay love triangle because NBC is too afraid to allow the gay characters to be extremely flawed people. Sonny and Brian never had sex together because NBC is too chaste with their gay characters. Since there is a paucity of gay characters on Days of Our Lives, Sonny and Will don’t interact with people around their age and they don’t have much to do.

Since Sonny and Will are not permitted to be complex like the heterosexual characters their relationship rings false. Sonny and Will are the most boring gay male couple I have ever seen on television. I’ve watched a bunch of gay male romances and I can honestly say Sonny and Will are one of the worst I’ve ever seen.

There are several problems I will identify about the difficulties I see with Sonny and Will. First, is the dialogue, the way how the NBC writers have written Sonny and Will they call each other “dude” and “man” gay men we don’t talk like that. Sonny and Will do not talk like a gay male couple they talk like a bunch of college frat guys.

It seems to me, the NBC writers are trying to make Sonny and Will as heterosexual as possible. Sonny and Will hardly kiss and when they do kiss I don’t believe they are in love. The actors Chandler Massey and Freddie Smith are solid actors they are capable of angst. However, in terms of the sexual aspect of Sonny and Will’s relationship the acting is very poor. The lack of intimacy between Sonny and Will makes it painfully obvious that NBC is not interested in treating the gay characters with respect.

Second, The heterosexual characters such as Sami & EJ, Rafe & Kate, Gabi & Nick, Brady & Kristen have had multiple sex scenes in a bed. The straight sex scenes are very passionate, they get to roll around in bed together, and moan and make love. By contrast, Sonny and Will everything is alluded to, there was one brief scene this year in bed. The problem is, it wasn’t a sex scene it was an afterglow scene. Every time Sonny and Will want to be intimate they are always interrupted!

For instance, during the kissing scenes Chandler and Freddie smash their lips together the kissing is closed mouthed. Adult gay men don’t kiss like pre teens! There is no open mouth kissing between Sonny and Will. Chandler Massey seems extremely uncomfortable kissing Freddie Smith his face is wrinkled and he looks very cautious and hesitant. Chandler and Freddie don’t have chemistry together there is no spark between their characters Will and Sonny.

Meanwhile, when Brant Daugherty the guy who plays Brian when he kisses Freddie Smith their kissing scenes are very passionate and seem more realistic. The chemistry between Brant and Freddie seems more natural. Sonny and Brian have a lot of chemistry together but they aren’t endgame.

Third, The gay storyline is in desperate need of another gay couple in order to keep Sonny and Will interesting. Why don’t Sonny and Will interact more with young gay men around their age? Why has there never been a gay bar scene? Why doesn’t Salem have a gay bathhouse? The gay aspect of Sonny and Will’s lives are ignored.

Brian is exciting because he’s a confident, openly gay, and masculine man. In this episode, the writers are attempting to make Will and Sonny look like a strong loving couple while Brian is the evil interloper. However, Brian never really did anything wrong except fall for Sonny. Sonny admits to giving Brian mixed signals that he’s interested in pursuing a romantic relationship with him. Brian had a lot of potential to be a very interesting gay male character but NBC isn’t interested in that.

The problem with today’s scene is there wasn’t any build up to Sonny and Will telling Brian to back off. Brian never forced or pushed Sonny to make out with him a few months ago and almost sleep with him.

The interesting thing is, on the internet many people are vocal that the characters Brian and Sonny have more sexual chemistry than Sonny and Will. A lot of the comments about Sonny and Will are that they are a “cute” gay couple but they aren’t a passionate gay couple. Sonny and Will are adults, yet the writers have written these adult gay male characters as though they are some NBC after school special.

The NBC writers for Days of Our Lives seem determined to utilize the gay characters to “educate” the homophobes that gay people can have boring vanilla relationships too. On the Facebook page for Days of Our Lives, the homophobic people have complained about the gay storyline and yet I wonder what are these people upset about? Sonny and Will hardly kiss, they don’t have sex, they don’t do anything interesting at all!

The quandary is, Sonny and Will’s relationship comes across as a friendship not as an adult sexual relationship. Since Sonny and Will are not allowed to have passionate sex scenes like the heterosexual characters on Days of Our Lives the audience has to use our imagination.

On Days of Our Lives, Sonny and Will have only had one sex scene on November 14th 2012, and the kissing between Chandler Massey and Freddie Smith is awful and awkward.

I think I am going to tune out from watching Days of Our Lives now there is no reason for me to watch anymore. The good thing is, on You Tube there are numerous gay storylines from across the world I can watch.

NBC doesn’t have the courage, or the interest to treat their gay male characters with the same kind of respect as their heterosexual characters. Gay people don’t have sex on Days of Our Lives, gay people don’t have romance, and that’s just not good entertainment.

Days of Our Lives Hot Gay Kiss: Brian & Sonny Make Out In Coffee House While Will Watches In The Background.

Last week Thursday, I did not have the opportunity to watch the NBC broadcast for Days of Our Lives. I heard rumours that there was a hot gay kiss so I had to watch the episode on You Tube.  A lot of people have commented on the internet that Chandler Massey the actor who plays Will Horton seems uncomfortable kissing his co star Freddie Smith in the gay love scenes. Bloggers have noticed when Will and Sonny kiss their mouths are closed. However, on Thursday’s episode a guest star Brant Daugherty his character Brian is the villain in the gay storyline. Last year, Brian let Sonny know he was interested in dating him. However, Sonny brushed Brian off and rejected him so Brian backed off. Meanwhile, last month in an explosive scene it was revealed during Gabi Hernandez and Nick Fallon’s wedding that Will Horton is the father of Gabi’s baby. The reason this is explosive is, Will is gay yet he is confused about his sexuality. Now, Brian is back in Salem he visits Sonny Kiriakis the other gay character at his coffeehouse and he makes a move. Since Sonny is upset that Will lied to him about getting his ex girlfriend Gabi Hernandez pregnant he passionately kisses Brian. The kiss between Brian and Sonny is rare on mainstream television to see two men make out with such desire is not common on network TV.

In Friday’s episode, Brian and Sonny continue to make out but Sonny’s boyfriend Will Horton creeps up to the coffee house peeking through the window blinds he sees the guys kissing passionately. Of course, Will is crushed and extremely upset. Brian and Sonny decide to take their make out session to Brian’s apartment and drink wine. Brian attempts to seduce Sonny on his bed by kissing him and having sex with him. Sonny tells Brian he can’t just have sex to him because he wants more than just a one night stand. Brian plays it cool, but he goes to the Brady pub where Will is finishing is university homework and implies that he had sex with Sonny.

I am surprised, the Days of our Lives producers allowed Brian and Sonny to make out on a bed. It is still rare on television to see two men kissing on a bed with desire and lust. A couple of years ago, on the soap As The World Turns, the gay characters Luke and Noah were prohibited from having a love scene on a bed together. Luke and Noah also did not have a sex scene. The gay storyline for Days of Our Lives isn’t perfect, but it indeed very progressive. The show’s writers and producers seem to be not allowing the negative feedback on Facebook, and other sites stop them from allowing the gay characters to have sex lives. For a long time on television, gay characters were asexual and just second class characters in the background.

I still believe that the love scene on the bed between Brian and Sonny was too short but I loved the fact Brian tried to unlock Sonny’s belt. I thought the scene was well done. There is still a bit of difference though between how the straight characters on Days of Our Lives express their sexuality and how the gay characters are allowed to be sexual. For instance, Will and Sonny have had only one proper love scene last year in November but there was no actual sex scene. The audience saw the foreplay which involved kissing, and then the after glow. The audience is left with our imagination to wonder how good the sex was. I understand Daytime television has limits on how far the sex scenes can go. Days of Our Lives is definitely moving in the right direction in allowing the gay characters to have sex lives just like the heterosexual characters.

Days of our Lives gay storyline: Will & Sonny Have An Argument Because Lucas Is Upset His Son Is In A Gay Relationship.

Today on  Days of our Lives, Will’s father Lucas attempts to break up his gay son Will’s relationship with his boyfriend Sonny. The writers have done a good job of exploring the struggle Lucas is having accepting the fact his adult son is a homosexual. Lucas tolerates the fact Will is gay, but he doesn’t accept his son’s homosexuality. Lucas is determined to break up Will and Sonny because be thinks if their relationship is over his son will no longer be sexually attracted to other men.

Unfortunately, Lucas succeeds in creating conflict for Sonny and Will by creating doubt in his son’s mind that Sonny is some kind of sexual predator.

I commend the Days of our Lives writers for having the courage to write a realistic gay romance and discuss the topic of  gay sex. Often on television shows, gay characters are with disrespect they are cartoon stereotypes such as the flaming queen, or they are  asexual, or they might kiss once or twice but they aren’t allowed to have passion as the straight characters.

For instance, on the television show Glee the gay relationship is extremely chaste and not sexual.  The soap opera genre is all about love, sex, and relationships. Heterosexual characters on television are allowed to have love scenes, kiss passionately and declare their love for each other. On Days of our Lives a young gay male couple is given the same freedom to be passionate, to be sexual just like the heterosexuals.

Gay sex is still an incendiary topic, on the Days or our Lives Facebook page some heterosexual viewers are infuriated and upset about the gay storyline. In this storyline, the topic of Sonny’s sexual history is important because there is a mystery about Sonny. For a long times fans of the gay storyline have complained that Sonny does not have the character development necessary for the public to root for him.

Since August, Sonny’s personality is starting to emerge he is a nice sweet guy but he also has a temper. My interpretation of Friday’s episode is Sonny was hurt and upset that Will believed Lucas lies.

Since Will is immature and easily manipulated he believes Lucas when he tells him that Sonny is only using Will for sex. Will is eighteen and he’s never had sex with another man before. Lucas plants a seed into Will’s mind that Sonny is sleeping with tons of guys in Salem and that he is not interested in a romantic relationship with Will. Will runs over to Sonny’s apartment trying to prove his father wrong by attempting to have sex with Sonny. However, since Sonny already had an argument with Lucas earlier in the week he knows that Will’s father has gotten to him. Will demands to know about Sonny’s sexual history.

I think in this episode it illustrates the age difference between Sonny and Will. Sonny is twenty one years old, he owns his own business, and he’s mature. Will is still a teenager and he doesn’t think before he acts. Sonny lectures Will about being respectful to him and he’s angry and infuriated that he believes Lucas lies. In fact, Sonny tells Will their relationship “is a mistake.” Will is heartbroken, but I think Sonny did the right thing. Will needs to realize that his actions have consequences.

New Gay Days Of Our Lives Storyline: Will & Sonny Kiss In Public But Lucas Is Disappointed His Son Is Openly Gay.

Freddie Smith and Chandler Massey have incredible chemistry they seem so comfortable with each other.

I just checked Days of Our Lives Facebook page and the homophobic comments I have read are disturbing but not surprising. Some people are really upset that Will and Sonny are kissing frequently on their television screen. I believe this gay romance is so important because daytime television needs more diversity.

The kissing scenes are improving but I kind of wish there were deeper kisses and not just quick kisses. I think it is realistic that Will Horton’s father is upset that his son is kissing another man in a public space. Lucas is still adjusting to the fact his son is a homosexual. I appreciate that Days of our Lives is exploring an underlining theme about masculinity. I notice that the only male in Salem who is 100% supportive of Will and Sonny dating is Sonny’s father Justin. Rafe, Lucas, Brady, Bo, Roman, are the male role models in Will’s life aren’t exactly thrilled he is gay. Maybe, the male father figures in Will’s life aren’t comfortable or know how to talk to him? I notice the female family members his mother Sami, his grandmother Marlena, and his other grandmother Kate are very supportive of him being gay.

Perhaps, Lucas feels that he failed Will since he moved away to Hong Kong and wasn’t around for two years during his adolescence? I think Lucas is going to hopefully accept Will and Sonny’s romance.

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.

Bad News Soap Fans: Spoilers Indicate Next Week On Days Of Our Lives Gay Character Will Horton Has Sex With A Woman & Sonny Gets Gay Bashed!!!

According to the spoilers next week, for the NBC soap Days of Our Lives the gay character Will Horton played by Chandler Massey is going  to have grief sex with his ex girlfriend Gabi Hernandez! Gabi and Will broke up last year because she suspected he is gay. So now Gabi and Will are going to have sex? It doesn’t make any sense! The logical conclusion is, Days of Our Lives is trying to appease multiple audiences and NBC is afraid of upsetting their sponsors.

It is strange to see this kind of homophobia by NBC because I am a Canadian. On Canadian television gay and lesbian characters have thrived since the 1980s.

Canadian television is a million miles ahead of American television in relation to the topic of homosexuality.

I remember watching Degrassi Junior High in the 1980s and Caitlin thought she was a lesbian and had a crush on her teacher  Miss Avery.

One of Caitlin’s friends, Kathleen accuses Caitlin of being a lesbian because she was jealous of her.

Even Suzy, Caitlin’s best friend asked her if she was a lesbian.

At the end of the episode, Caitlin realized she isn’t lesbian and Miss Avery is not gay.

In the mid 1980s, lesbianism discussed in an honest and truthful manner on mainstream Canadian television!

Degrassi Junior High dealt with a serious topic of a young girl questioning her sexuality in a mature and honest manner.

Sometimes, I forget that America is not as progressive as Canada in relation to LGBT issues.

Another point to consider is, on Days of Our Lives, Freddie Smith his character Sonny who is Will`s love interest gets gay bashed by this homophobic jerk Tad.

So why couldn’t Days of Our Lives allow Sonny and Brian to have killer hot sex? Wouldn’t it be amazing if Sonny and Brian got to roll around in a bed naked all sweaty, panting, and making out? Well,  since Days of Our Lives is an American soap it will be a cold day in hell before the audience gets to see an authentic gay male sex scene!

A lot of people online are very upset because for the past year Days of Our Lives promised the soap fans that Will and Sonny will have a gay romance.

Since Will just came out this year, his character has grown more confident in accepting his homosexuality. So why would Days make Will have sex with a woman?

Days of Our Lives is destroying Will and making him bisexual instead of gay.

Meanwhile, Will`s love interest Sonny is basically asexual.  Sonny is supposed to be gay yet he has never kissed another guy until next week or had sex.

The hypocrisy of daytime television in America is abhorrent. The heterosexual characters can have sex scenes rolling around in bed together but Sonny, Will, and Brian can’t have a love scene in a bed!

The spoilers indicate next week Monday, Sonny kisses Will but he is rejected. Will tells Sonny he only sees him as a friend and not as a potential boyfriend.  Of course, Sonny is hurt and he accuses Will of being a closet case and not proud to be gay. Will runs off to his grandmother Marlena the town shrink to figure out his feelings. Marlena tries to get Will to see he is sexually attracted to Sonny and give love a chance.

Meanwhile, on the next episode next week Tuesday, Sonny runs into Brian an attractive openly gay man played by Brant Daugherty. Brian warned Sonny in July that Will Horton has a lot of baggage and he is wasting his time with him.  Will sees Brian and Sonny and he freaks out and runs away.

Will runs off and he somehow ends up in Gabi`s bed and they have sex. The only reason I can think of Will and Gabi having sex is she is going to get pregnant.  The beautiful Camila Banus is the scheming Gabi Hernandez. Gabi`s last storyline she attempted to smash Chad and Melanie`s relationship by hiring a stalker to chase her around Salem. However, the stalker Andrew turned out to be psycho and he kidnapped Melanie. Chad finds out next week that Andrew and Gabi worked together and he kicks her out of his apartment.

The anger many soap fans have is, Days of Our Lives is promoting homophobia. Gay men we are sexually attracted to other men not women! Will having sex with Gabi promotes a homophobic message that all a gay man needs is a hot woman to turn him straight.

Also, Sonny getting gay bashed is a recycled storyline from One Life To Live two years ago! In the year 2009, the character Nick got gay bashed and he used the bashing incident to come between the gay couple Kyle and Oliver. Kyle and Oliver are the only gay male couple on American daytime television to have a gay sex scene! In fact, on One Life To Live Kyle and Oliver had multiple kissing scenes and they even talked about safer sex and using condoms.

Days of Our Lives is upsetting a lot of soap fans it is the year 2012 it is time for NBC  to treat gay men with dignity and respect. I am cognizant that Days of Our Lives core audience is heterosexual women. However, since Days decided to have a couple gay men on the show of course the audience demands the gay male characters be treated just like the straight characters. If Melanie and Chad can have sex then so can Will, Sonny, and Brian!
