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.
