Days of Our Lives Gay Scenes: Lucas Struggles To Accept His Son Will’s Gay Relationship With Sonny.
On Days of Our Lives Facebook page, some fans of the American soap are furious about the gay storyline. One woman said she turns off the television set whenever Will and Sonny kiss. Another person said she doesn’t believe the gay storyline should be on television since Days of Our Lives is on during the afternoon. After I read the negative comments, I realize this gay storyline is important if one person can become more open minded about homosexuality after seeing Days of Our Lives this is progress.
I believe this gay romance between Sonny and Will is very progressive. I was concerned that Days of Our Lives producers would not allow the gay romance to have any passion. In this clip, Will’s father Lucas is struggling to accept his son’s homosexuality. Lucas argues with Sonny’s mother Adrienne about their boys dating. Lucas claims to be open minded but he is freaked out that Sonny and Will kiss passionately in public at the Horton Square.
Some fans believe the Days of Our Lives writers are throwing Lucas under the bus because he initially said he was accepting of Will’s homosexuality. Another important point to consider is, although Lucas did say he is okay with Will being gay now he has seen his son kiss another man. Lucas is finally realizing that Will is sexually attracted to other men and he wants to express his sexuality. Lucas is confused, upset, and hurt that Will is gay. I think Days of Our Lives needs some scenes with Lucas talking to Sonny’s father Justin since he is accepting of Will and Sonny’s gay relationship. I think Lucas needs to talk to another man about his feelings about Will’s homosexuality.
I believe this clip touches on the theme of masculinity. What does it mean to be a man? What is a real man? Some heterosexual men believe gay men relinquish our masculinity because we are gay. Lucas seems to think his son Will is less of a man because he is openly gay.
A few years ago, Lucas moved to Hong Kong, he might feel he is responsible for Will being gay because he lacked a male role model in his life. Lucas is not a homophobe, but he is clearly uncomfortable with his son being openly gay.
I also think Will is being a bit cruel to Lucas. It took Will a long time to accept his homosexuality so he should give his father some time to come to terms with him being gay.
I understand Will is heartbroken that Lucas does not accept him yet but his father needs time to adjust.
I think this clip is very realistic, it seems everyone in Salem accepts Will and Sonny’s homosexuality. However, we all know in the real world there is homophobia. Some people claim to be accepting of gay men on the surface. Meanwhile, when gay men express our homosexual desires then all hell breaks loose.
I hope Lucas eventually accepts Will’s homosexuality and they can go back to having a good father and son relationship.
New Clip Days Of Our Lives Gay Storyline: Sonny & Will Are A Romantic Couple Their First Date At The Coffee House!!!
The long year wait is finally for Days of Our Lives fans Sonny and Will to finally a romantic couple. Freddie Smith and Chandler Massey have excellent chemistry with each other. The kissing scenes today are less awkward than the previous episode. Freddie and Chandler are adorable they really capture the excitement of their characters Sonny and Will’s romance starting to bloom.
The final scene in the coffee house is hilarious when Lucas spots the guys kissing and he freaks out! It looks like Lucas might not be so comfortable with his son Will being gay. However, I think it is realistic of the Days of Our Lives writers to have Lucas feeling uncomfortable. It is hard for some fathers to accept that their son is a homosexual. Although Lucas has stated he is okay with Will being gay, now that he has seen Will kiss Sonny the realization is settling in. My only complaint is, the gay storyline on Days of Our Lives isn’t getting enough screentime. I hated that the kissing scenes between Freddie and Chandler were cut and spread out across the episode.
It is going to be interesting to see if Days of Our Lives will allow Will and Sonny to have a sex scene? After all, if the heterosexual characters on Days of Our Lives can have sex why can’t the gays? Also, I hope the Days of Our Lives writers allow Sonny and Will to have a serious romance. For instance, I hope the audience is going to be allowed to see Will and Sonny holding hands in public walking through the Horton Square.
Days Of Our Lives Gay Storyline: Sonny & Will Finally Have Their First Real Passionate Kiss!!!
Last month, Sonny kissed Will but Will was still terrified because he wasn’t sure if he had feelings for his best friend. On tomorrow’s episode, Days Of Our Lives fans are finally going to see the first real passionate kiss between Sonny and Will.
Some fans have wondered do Freddie Smith and Chandler Massey have the chemistry to prove to the audience their characters are in love?
In previous kissing scenes, some fans have complained that Chandler Massey is awkward regardless of whether he is kissing a woman or a man.
However, I think fans of Days of Our Lives have the answer Freddie Smith and Chandler Massey have incredible chemistry they play off of each other.
Technically, this is Sonny & Will’s second kiss but this time there is desire and passion behind this kiss. Freddie Smith and Chandler Massey are both straight in real life but their acting in this scene is superb. Both Smith and Massey have no hesitation and really nail this kissing scene. I also liked that the guys both closed their eyes and Massey’s grabs the back of Smith’s neck as they lean in to kiss. The kissing scene is hot!
New Days of Our Lives Gay Storyline Clip: Sonny & Brian Grow Closer & Will Is Jealous.
I love this episode of the gay storyline on Days of Our Lives because finally Sonny’s mother Adrienne and uncle Victor get to meet Brian.
It is so sweet Brian and Sonny giggling and talking to each other in the coffee house.
In another scene, Will admits to Abigail he gave Sonny mixed signals.
At the end of the episode, there is some angst because Adrienne tells Will at the Horton Square that Sonny and Brian are “hitting it off.”
However, I am disappointed that Sonny turned down Brian’s invitation for a date.
Brian was so sweet though he leaves the tickets on the table and he tells Sonny to just call Will. After Brian leaves the coffee house Sonny calls Will but he doesn’t
answer.
Days Of Our Lives: Will Is Jealous Of Sonny & Brian’s Friendship.
Is Sonny insane? Why would Sonny turn down Brian’s invitation to go on a date just because he’s waiting for Will. I know Will and Sonny are going to eventually end up as a couple. However, it is disappointing to see Sonny reject Brian’s advances. Will Horton is a closet case he’s self absorbed brat he’s immature, has a bad attitude, and he is extremely selfish. Will also takes Sonny for granted he hasn’t demonstrated that he loves him. Meanwhile, Brian is out and proud to be gay he’s the perfect guy for Sonny.
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!
MSN Interview: Days of Our Lives Stud Freddie Smith Talks About His Character Sonny’s Gay Bullying & Romance Storyline.
Bing: More about “Days of Our Lives” | Freddie Smith
MSN TV: After all this time, Sonny suddenly planted a kiss on Will: What was he thinking?
Freddie Smith: In the past he’s respected Will’s boundaries and the process of Will’s coming out. He didn’t want to pressure him. He wanted Will to feel comfortable with who he is before he makes any decisions. He was also torn between, “This is my best friend. If I tell him I love him or that I have a crush on him, is he not going to be friends with me anymore?” It’s that whole cat and mouse thing. When he found out Will might be dead or something bad might have happened and then he saw Will okay, as a friend and a crush, he was like, “Oh my god I’ve got a kiss you. I love you.”From what fans saw in the post-Olympics teaser, Sonny didn’t get the response he was hoping to get!He didn’t, no. Will was like, “Yo, dude, what are you doing?” All Sonny’s feelings came out at once and caught Will off guard. It wasn’t a romantic, “Oh we like each other.” It was more like: Boom! I’m kissing you, whether you like it or not. It will be interesting to see how that plays out.Do you think these two belong together?I think so. They have a lot in common and can both bring something great to the relationship. If they come together, I think they can become a great power couple.
The kiss was also, oddly, spurred on by T.’s return and the way he laid right into Will, attacking him for being gay. What can you tell us about the bullying storyline that kicked off today?
T. comes back into town more angry than before. What’s immature is he blames Sonny for changing Will, because he finds out Will came out of the closet, so he’s just on a mission. He takes Salem by storm. He makes a grand entrance, I’ll tell you that, and it becomes very intense between the two of them. But it doesn’t just end with a confrontation. It shows the aftermath. It shows how T. deals with it, how friends and family deal with it, how Sonny deals with it. It’s very three-dimensional.
Sonny has always been so confidant in who he is and more or less kept his cool with T., in the past. How will T.’s anger and negativity affect him this time?
Sonny thought this was all over. He was there for Will. He went through the process of coming out and went through bullying before. He’s like, “I’m comfortable with who I am. My family and friends love me. I don’t have to deal with this anymore.” So when it does happen, he’s taken back. It’s like, “When is this going to end?” It’s emotional. He has a great scene with his dad about this whole thing. He’s like, “Why is someone hating on me just because I’m gay?” I can’t get into the way he deals with it, but he does deal with it. It’s a process.
Sonny is such a strong guy. When push comes to shove and T. gets physical this week, it’s hard to imagine him not standing up for himself.
If someone pushes you, you can’t just deck him in the face. You can’t always solve your problems with violence. Sonny takes the high road. He wants to talk about it, where T.’s like, “I don’t want to talk about it.” It’s an interesting dynamic and shows how Sonny has grown into himself. The bullying storyline is great. It tells a great story, but also wraps up in the perfect amount of time. It’s not drawn out, at all.
While dealing with this bully, Sonny is also dealing with his feelings for Will and some romantic tension with Brian (Brant Daugherty). Should fans be preparing for a Will/Sonny/Brian love triangle?
This thing is more of a five or six-sided shape than a triangle! It just stems off. It’s just a mess.
Will’s ex Gabi is part of that mess after the exes sleep together! In the wake of the Melanie drama, has Gabi learned her lesson? Or is she going to start playing her games with the boys?
Ugh, I don’t know what I can touch on with Gabi’s storyline, so I don’t even want to go there! She’s her crazy self, and a lot of people are involved. This is one of the central storylines coming up. It’s not just a cutaway to me and Will or me and Brian. Everyone’s involved.
So you won’t be sequestered in “the gay storyline”?
That’s what’s important and that’s what took awhile, too. I started off as the first gay character and that’s what people were talking about. Now, people just call me “Sonny.” They understand that him being gay is just a small part of who he is. Romance is involved, but it’s also shows you who Sonny is, aside from his gay romance. He has a lot to deal with. He’s got his work, his friends, his family, his problems.
Some fans were worried Salem’s two gay boys would just fall right into happily ever after, but it sounds like they’re instead being thrown into some classic soaptastic drama.
Exactly. I give the studio, the producers and the writers so much props, because they’re not tiptoeing around the gay romance. That was important to me. I was like, “Give us a three-dimensional gay storyline.” So many people are on board. My phone goes off constantly. I get endless tweets and I wish I could answer and say, “This is happening,” but I can’t. That’s the surprise of watching, but I think everyone’s going to enjoy what’s going on with Sonny’s character. You’re going to see different shades of Sonny. The audience knows Sonny’s perfect self: he’s Mr. Mature and Mr. Positive. But he’s going to make some mistakes and you’re going to see how he learns from them and grows as a character and a person. I’m so excited. I’ve been working nonstop and I can’t wait for people to tune in, because I have so many fans. I thank them all, and they’re finally going to get what they want – more Sonny.
“Days of Our Lives” airs weekdays on NBC.
