Days Of Our Lives
DAYS Freddie Smith, Guy Wilson & Deidre Hall Chat On The Making Of Sonny and Will's Historic Wedding!

Today on Days of our Lives, history was made when Sonny and Will said their vows in front of their family and friends and became, “husbands for life”! Officiating the big day was Marlena who made their union legal.
And with that, the love story of Sonny and Will had come full circle. There were plenty of tears with speeches from Lucas, Justin, and Caroline, and the groom’s themselves, and moments that surely had DAYS fans in the mainstream, or those in the LGBT community, reaching for the hankies in an emotional episode for all-time.
On-Air On-Soaps spoke this afternoon to Freddie Smith (Sonny), Guy Wilson (Will) and Deidre Hall (Marlena) as around the country the first daytime male same-sex wedding in soaps was airing. We take a look at the making of WilSon’s big day, what went on behind the scenes during the taping, and what the actors thought of the special moments written throughout the ceremony and more! In a very special chat, here are Freddie, Guy, and Deidre!
Viewers have really been watching this journey through Sonny’s eyes for several years now, and this marriage has been a long time coming for his character!

FREDDIE: To think about the first episode where Sonny showed up and told his Uncle Vic he was gay, to getting married, these three years have been such a huge, huge journey and like, “Wow!” It is amazing to see how Sonny has grown as a character, and he loves Will with his all his heart.
On yesterday’s episode and throughout today’s wedding episode, there have been little nuggets in scenes and nuances. For example; an emotional Sami (Alison Sweeney) fixing Will’s tie and saying how much she loves him, the grooms mom’s each walking them down the aisle, etc. What did you think of all that was put into the wedding?
GUY: I think it was so well done, and even on the day we were shooting, I was so impressed with how much attention to detail was put into the entire production. And when I say that, I don’t just mean in terms of how everything looked, I mean with every moment and look had a story to it. Even the moment when Will was going to enter and walk down the aisle with his mother Sami, those moments were steeped in so much history within their relationship. It added so much power to those scenes as an actor. Everything felt so emotionally charged. I credit that to the writers and the producers and the director. No detail was left unattended.
I was not sure how DAYS was going to decide to pull off the wedding of Sonny and Will. Would it be traditional or non-traditional? They went with in the end a ceremony that in many respects was traditional in form as in any heterosexual wedding you might see on the show, sans a DAYSastrous outcome!
Courtesy/NBC
GUY: In so many respects it was traditional in terms of the scale and the set-up. I think that was a very shrew move. I think the whole point behind showing and growing the relationship is to show that there is nothing different. I have said it before and I will say it again, “love is love”. There is no need to alter society’s traditions to accommodate that.
FREDDIE: We work our butts off every single day from the cast to the crew. But you know when you have a special day that you put a little something extra on it in every respect. That is why we stayed an extra three hours on set shooting it, because it’s so important. Today is so important. It has that little extra cherry on top, and we all felt it and that is what I thought was so amazing. It wasn’t very hard to act that day. It was super emotional. I was super emotional and blown away and looking at Judi Evans (Adrienne). She really loves me as a person and as the character. It was a really great moment for me. I don’t want to put words in his mouth, but Guy loved it too. He and I were just looking at each other on the altar…
GUY: … And all we had to be was just present, every detail was there, and so much history. That is all we needed to get the emotions going.
DEIDRE: It was long day, because our director felt very strongly about it being a magical show. We moved walls in, we moved walls out, and we moved windows in. But I am assuming to the viewers it showed on camera the care we put into it. While the episode aired today, I heard everyone in the hallways at DAYS saying how fabulous it was. I unfortunately did not see it, as I was on set.
Do you realize the true enormity of this wedding? Never before on an American daytime drama has a gay male couple got hitched!
Courtesy/NBC
GUY: I do. I feel so much pride to be a part of it and for NBC and the DAYS writers to be courageous and unapologetic to show something that is long overdue to being shown.
Many have been concerned that the wedding happened to soon after Guy stepped into the role of Will Horton after the departure of Chandler Massey. What do you feel about that? Should it have happened further down the line when Guy was more firmly implanted into the show?
FREDDIE: I feel that having a new actor come into a role where the audience has watched someone else for four years, and to really kick start this, it was really smart if you think about it. To have the wedding this quickly has connected Guy and Freddie now.
GUY: This is officially our era now. I think Freddie articulated that really well. If they would have waited, I don’t think it would have served the relationship of Will and Sonny in accordance to how they want to live their lives and express their love for one another. I think this storyline should remain true to itself. In hindsight, I think it was a great idea to have jumped right into the wedding, and I know I had a lot of fun doing it.
DEIDRE: I know it was a concern, but I bow to greater minds. They had their finger on the pulse.
Deidre, how has it been though for you with the change from Chandler to Guy? You had created the special bond between the character of Marlena and Will with Chandler. She was crucial and a key anchor to the coming out storyline and Will’s journey. But now, Will is in a different place as a married man, as played by Guy.
Courtesy/NBC
DEIDRE: Chandler and I worked very hard. It was a serious, highly concerted effort to make these two characters so close. We worked intimately and deeply for months and months and months, so people could relate to the relationship between their own grandmother and grandson, and come to understand it. Guy and I did not have that history together on the show, and the character of Will is in a different place than he was when he was struggling to come out.
What did you think of the actual ceremony? The speeches … hankie-time?
FREDDIE: It’s a beautiful wedding and I cannot wait to see the speeches. Everyone was so touching! I purposely did not read the speeches, so I did not know what they were going to say until I heard them when we taped. I really wanted to hear and react to them for the first time then. There was this little moment with Adrienne and Sami, who go back and forth at the reception trying to outdo one another, and it’s hilarious.
I loved the touch that the two dads spoke at the ceremony … Lucas (Bryan Datillo) and Justin (Wally Kurth)!
Courtesy/NBC
GUY: They are very powerful speeches and from two characters that have been on the show for such a long time. I couldn’t be happier that the writers had them have a strong role in it.
What did you think of Caroline’s (Peggy McKay) speech? That will get the water works going, because viewers did not know if it was her Alzheimer’s disease and she was confused, or if she had a point to her story, and boy, did she have a point to it!
DEIDRE: It was so important, and what I remember at that time was that every person that got up to do their part just killed us all. We are a tough room. Peggy’s speech, “Oh my Gosh.” You had been set-up thinking Caroline was going to forget what she wanted to say, and true to form I did not read any other parts in the script except the ones I was in involved in (laughs), so I saw it play out when we taped it. Peggy got up to say her speech. I said to myself, “Don’t listen, you are going to cry.” And one after the other after the other, made me cry. Bryan Datillo’s (Lucas) speech was amazing.
Were there any behind-the-scenes moments were there was plenty of laughter through the emotions of the long tape day of the wedding? There had to be!
Courtesy/NBC
GUY: There were many. However, for our first dance as a newlywed couple, Freddie and I went to the middle of the floor and we realized neither one of us knew how to Waltz or dance! We weren’t sure who leads and who follows. So we tried to do it and it was just awkward. Meanwhile, the entire cast is circled around us and everyone on the show is now watching us like robots! Finally the director yells, “Cut!” Now the director, who has a background in dance, grabs me and says, ‘This is how you lead.” Then, he grabs Freddie and says, “This is how you lead, and every few beats you switch off and take turns leading each other.” So he had to lead us through it in front of the entire cast. That was this one wonderful moment of levity after we had shot so many emotional filled moments.
FREDDIE: It was super embarrassing! We just did not know how to do it and JJ (Casey Moss) is playing the guitar and we are fumbling around like a bunch of idiots. (Laughs)
So Freddie, what is everyone on your Twitter account saying about WilSon’s wedding?
FREDDIE: It’s incredible and it’s been blowing up! People have been saying, “It’s beautiful and it’s about time,” and every and anything you can imagine. This is one of the days that my friends want to watch, because they don’t necessarily watch the show on a regular basis. I thought that was really special that my best friends in the world want to watch the wedding as well, because they know how important it is.

The wedding of Sonny and Will is a groundbreaking moment in soaps and for DAYS. Deidre, you have been with the show much longer than Freddie and Guy and been part of a lot of historic firsts for soaps.
DEIDRE: I think DAYS is known for groundbreaking stories on television. I did the first crib death and the only one on TV, and that was extraordinary. The “possession” storyline was a first, and that is sort of what we do over here. We do it with people that can be trusted with the story. And I only mean by that that the possession story had to be about Marlena, because you had to know everybody was going to be safe at the end. If you had done that with a disposable character, or a grey character, or an evil character, you would have gone, “Well, they are all going to have to die, and it will all just be a bad dream.” Hence the gay wedding! I think people will forgive a lot if Marlena has got them by the arm. This is about human rights. Let’s get off of our judgment, and let’s talk about humanity. I think that perspective might help people see things more clearly.
The choice to have Marlena officiate the wedding was another move that seemed to be made for those viewers in the mainstream, who may be opposed to a same-sex union, to help them accept Sonny and Will’s nuptials. Thoughts?
FREDDIE: It is so smart, if you really think about it as a business. You have Marlena (Deidre Hall), who has millions and millions of fans, and someone like John Aniston (Victor) who also has millions of fans key to this. Yesterday, Victor told off that businessman telling him he was bigot and close-minded. They strategically placed it within the show without pointing any fingers. It was done so brilliantly and using those power actors to support it, just gives it that much more weight.
DEIDRE: I think she is a natural for it. She helped Will come out, and she loves Sonny, and she is like the power person in the room.
Courtesy/NBC
FREDDIE: They had to have the wedding go right. This will be an episode that will standalone. This episode means a lot to me and will be like one of the top ten episodes that DAYS had ever shot within its 12,000 plus episodes.
In closing, Freddie you have brought such a special quality that DAYS knew they had when they cast you in the role. You are so beloved for Sonny, and his strength at never denying who he is, who he loves, or what he wants. So there has to be a part of you that is so thrilled that you are the guy that got to bring this story home from beginning to end, and now on to the next phase.
FREDDIE: It goes back to, now that I have been in the business for awhile, when I think, “Why didn’t I get all those roles? What do they mean I wasn’t right for it?” I just had that quality that the writer who made this character up, just had. So I just did my thing, and they were like, “That’s Sonny!” I am just so happy that it got to be me, because I have been having a ball. This has been the best job in the world. It’s been an honor. I can’t wait to sit down and watch the wedding!
So, what did you think of Sonny and Will’s wedding? The sentiments here from Freddie, Guy and Deidre? What was your favorite moment from the episode? Comment below!
The June 22 episode of Days of Our Lives reminded us all of why Deidre Hall is iconic in the role of Dr. Marlena Evans. Here we are 50 years later, and Marlena is still the heroine of the long-running soap opera, and Deidre remains one of the most most recognizable names in the history of soaps.
To pay tribute, and to look back at the life and times of Marlena, the story starts with Marlena flipping through a photo album of her with John (the late Drake Hogestyn) over the years. As she misses him dearly, she gets a knock on the door and its none other than John’s son, Paul Narita (Christopher Sean).
With Andrew (Colton Little) in Salem working on a case, he sits down with Marlena, who says she can’t believe its been fifty years since she first arrived in Salem! Cue: Deidre’s first scenes on DAYS when she finds Mickey Horton (the late John Clarke) playing chess against himself inside the mental institution she worked.

THE FLASHBACKS OF MARLENA’S LIFE
From there, viewers definitely got the cliff notes version of the history of Marlena and entrenched within them, some of the biggest moments in Deidre’s enduring run.
Paul thinks he is looking at 70s, and early 80s Marlena while going through her scrapbook, but he is actually looking at her twin, Samantha (Andrea Hall). Cue: when Marlena confronted Samantha about impersonating her, and then later getting a call on her radio show from the Salem Strangler (Jack Coleman as Jake Kostichek) who killed Samantha thinking it was Marlena.
In the present, Belle (Martha Madison) has arrived at this time to meet up with Paul, unaware of this trip down memory lane. She wants to go over the findings in the chess board mystery Stefano willed to Marlena and John, in private with him, since Marlena previously said she wanted nothing to do with it.
Back to the history lesson, Marlena speaks highly of Don Craig and even though their marriage didn’t work out, she could find a path forward with the new love her life, Roman Brady. (Wayne Northrop however is never shown, possibly to keep the story focused on John as Roman for confusion sakes?)
Paul sees a photo of a young Carrie (Christie Clark) in the album and Marlena says she was such a godsend after losing her baby. In fact, Marlena says caring for Carrie prepared her for her having and raising her own twins, Eric and Sami. Cue: The twin visiting Marlena in the hospital.
JOHN AND MARLENA’S LOVE CONQUERED ALL
Then, in a way to get through and incorporate the wild storylines only Marlena could have been in, she tells Belle and Paul, she has been through so much in her life, how lucky she was to find John, and some of the most unbelievable experiences no one could imagine. Cue: Marlena possessed by the devil and levitating from the bed. Next, John confronting Marlena being the Salem Stalker, where she admits she killed Alice Horton, pretends she needs help, then pulls a gun on her beloved John!
The comment is made by Paul and Marlena, that she literally has been to hell and back and she could not have survived were it not for her beloved John. Cue the big emotional highpoint clips; The Pier Scene! Marlena steps out of the fog when John sees her from a distance. After believing she was dead for four years, here she was before him in one of the greatest reunions in a soap opera love story in history. What followed were other times of the life of times of Jarlena.

MARLENA’S ‘GIFT’ FROM STEFANO HAS A NEW CLUE
When Marlena makes a brief exit to the other room, Belle fills in Paul on the chess set Stefano left her mother and the photo of the Lire. Paul said he will investigate. Marlena comes back into the room and overhears, and says to promise her if things get dangerous he will back off, she does not want anyone hurt by Stefano’s games.
As the episode comes to a conclusion, it’s just Belle and Marlena going through the photo album giggling about 70s hairstyles and all the memories. Belle speaks on the impact Marlena has had in everyone’s lives, and that she is both the heart of their family and the heart of Salem.
An end card comes up acknowledging Deidre Hall’s 50th anniversary as Marlena, and we fade to black.
So, what did you think of Marlena’s walk down memory lane? Were you happy to see the flashback clips utilized throughout? Were you touched by the scenes and the performance of Deidre Hall? Let us know what you thought of Deidre’s 50th anniversary episode via the comment section below.
If you have ever tuned-in to the soap opera genre over the last 50 years, and witnessed some of the greatest romances, drama, classic and outlandish storylines of all-time, you would have seen Deidre Hall smack dab in the middle of it as longtime Salem heroine, Dr. Marlena Evans.
It was 50 years on this date, June 21, 1976 that Hall first appeared on DAYS on NBC which was its home for 57 years before it moved to its current streaming platform on Peacock in September of 2022.
In Hall’s first episode she was introduced as a psychiatrist treating Mickey Horton (John Clarke) at Bayview Sanitarium after he suffered a complete mental breakdown. Mickey learned that his brother Bill Horton (Edward Mallory) was the biological son of Mike Horton (Wesley Eure) with his wife Laura (Susan Flannery) and that he had been lied to for years and years. From that moment on, the rest is television and soap opera history. Days of Our Lives put Hall front and center.

There were so many heartbreaking and shocking story twists involving the beloved Marlena. One of the first was the historic crib death of baby DJ (Don Jr.) in 1980, Marlena’s infant son with Don Craig (Jed Allan). The story had never been told on daytime television and Hall’s performances received accolades from TV critics to fans when Deidre received thousands of letters from grieving mothers who had gone through the same thing in their own lives.
DAYS also brought Deidre’s twin sister, Andrea Hall Lovell to the show as her on-screen sister Samantha, who had a grudge and even locked Marlena up in a sanitarium and took her place! Fast-forward and in 1982, DAYS launched the Salem Strangler story where everyone believed Marlena was his next victim, only it turned out to be Samatha. Jake Kositchek (played by Jack Coleman) was revealed to be the actual serial killer.
Later, Deidre would assume the role of Marlena’s look-alike, Hattie Adams in 2004, once played by her sister, Andrea. Over the years, Hattie has come back to Salem and caused trouble giving Hall a chance to play a different type of character, then the always upstanding Marlena.

THE LOVES OF MARLENA
Deidre Hall struck gold with all her leading men: from the late Jed Allan, to Wayne Northrop as Roman Brady, and of course, her enduring love story with the late John Black played by the iconic Drake Hogestyn. In fact, Marlena’s 1986 wedding to John (who was believed to be Roman at the time) remains a favorite of fans to this day.
TOP MARLENA STORYLINES OF ALL-TIME
While the list is long, here are several that were some of the memorable during Deidre’s five decades in Salem!
The Possession (1994- 1995)
Considered one of the most ambiguous, outlandish and unforgettable story arcs in soap opera history, then Days of Our Lives head writer, James Reilly went there! Marlena was possessed by the devil! That included; the demonic eyes, hissing at father John (Black) the priest, morphing into creatures, and the classic levitating in her bed! It became a cultural phenomenon and cemented Deidre Hall’s status as a daytime television legend. Just ask Ryan Gosling!

The Affair with John Black (1993)
John and Marlena’s forbidden love could not be denied and they had passionate affair, while she was still married to the real Roman. Problem was her daughter, Sami (Alison Sweeney) caught her mother having sex with John on a desk that changed Sami forever.
The Salem Stalker Mystery (2003-2004)
In a shocker, Marlena was revealed to be a serial killer who bumped off several Salem favorites residents who were all alive on the island of Melaswen (spelled “New Salem” backward). Turns out, she was manipulated and gaslighted by Andre DiMera (Thaao Penghlis) to do the “killings” and had no memory of her actions.
The Pier Scene (1991)
This remains Michael Fairman TV’s all-time favorite Deidre Hall moment, which featured some of the best acting in the storied careers of both Hall and Drake Hogestyn.
In the story, a presumed-dead Marlena returns after four years. One foggy night on the pier, John is alone, and Marlena steps out of the fog to reveal herself, and is reunited with the love of her life. You can watch it any year, any decade, and in any moment, and it will have you reaching for the hankies again and again. (best music score fo a soap scene of all-time too!)

Kristen’s Secret Room Reveal (1997)
Marlena was caught in Kristen Blake’s (Eileen Davidson) elaborate web of lies, when she was held hostage in a secret wine cellar/room until John managed to track her down, leading to an iconic on-screen reunion. The classic catfight between Hall and Eileen Davidson was one for the ages.
It should be noted that Maison Blanche, Queen of the Night, Possession, Aremid and Lady in a Cage were all a part of classic DAYS storyline and all featured Hall at the epicenter of it from 1993-1996.
THE RECENT YEARS OF MARLENA
In recent years, DAYS brought back the possession 2.0 storyline under then head writer Ron Carlivati in 2021 where the devil leapt back in Marlena after taking advantage of a frail Doug Williams (the late Bill Hayes)
In 2025, viewers watched the end of the love story of John and Marlena, as John succumbed to injuries sustained in an explosion saving a vial of medication needed to bring Bo (Peter Reckell) back to life. Marlena has been a widow on-screen since June of 2025 as Hall as portrayed the good doctor struggling with her grief and to move on with her life since his death.
Photo: JPI
One story that never goes away is Stefano DiMera’s (the late Joe Mascolo) obsession with Marlena, his “Queen of the Night.” Even in death, Stefano is toying with her from the great beyond with the mysterious chess set and the missing “pawn,” that he had gifted John and Marlena in his will. The mystery is currently unfolding on all-new episodes of Days of Our Lives.
Tune-in to Days of our Lives on the Monday, June 22 episode as Marlena looks back at her 50 years in Salem.
Share your congratulations to Deidre Hall for this incredible 50-year milestone as Dr. Marlena Evans on Days of Our Lives in the comment section. Then let us know, what is your all-time favorite storyline or moment in the life of Marlena over the past 5 decades? And, just for kicks, and to celebrate this amazing milestone, here is Marlena levitating below circa Christmas Eve 1994.

Al Calderon Reflects on ‘Major Chapters’ Coming to an End on ‘Days of Our Lives’ and ‘Brilliant Minds’
It’s been a bittersweet time for Al Calderon. The talented actor/singer/songwriter has watched from his vantage point to roles he loved so much come to their conclusion for different reasons.
In a heartfelt message posted to his Instagram story on Saturday, Calderon took a moment to share how grateful he was for the opportunity to play Javi Hernandez on Days of Our Lives, and nurse Nico Silva this year on NBC’s second season of Brilliant Minds. Currently, Brilliant Minds has two more episodes that will air on June 24 and the series finale on July 1.
Calderon expressed, “As I sit here reflecting on this lovely Saturday afternoon over the last two years of my life, I have two major chapters closing that have been part of my life every day for the last two years. We have Brilliant Minds. Our last episodes are wrapping up, and then my last scenes aired yesterday as me as Javi on Days of Our Lives.

“I’m just unbelievably grateful for the chance and the opportunity to be a part of something so much larger than me,” continued Al. “I (will) love Days of Our Lives forever, my family. Thank you for supporting me and supporting my decision to take the leap of faith and believe in myself and, and tell other stories. You know, it’s never goodbye. It’s always ‘see you later’ to me and just leaving with love and leading with love.”
Al concluded with a special mention to some very important people, the fans: “Thank you to the fans and the support from everyone, the lovely messages. So this next chapter, hopefully it’s not a dragon, hopefully it’s a gold coin.”

Calderon’s journey on-screen on Days of Our Lives began in October of 2024 and concluded this month. In one of his last appearances Javi was asking a favor from Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) before bumping into his ex, Leo (Greg Rikaart). In story, Javi has a new romance with Gus (Michael Ocampo), while fighting his feelings for Leo. The role of Javi will be played starting on June 30 by Jacob Martinez who takes over the role.
NBC decided to cancel the Brilliant Minds, after it split up the airing of its second season which began in the fall of September of 2025 and the back-half started airing after a long break this past May. Calderon joined the medical drama staring Zachary Quinto for the new season, which sadly was its last.
So, will you miss Al on Days of Our Lives and Brilliant Minds as his time on-screen has come to an end? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.

The wedding episode of Will and Sonny was truly phenomenal. It was very emotional and I loved it. My favorite scene was Will and Sonny first dance as husbands. It was breathtaking .
I loved the whole thing and I love days!!!
THIS ISN’T THE FIRST MALE GAY WEDDING ON A DAYTIME SOAP, MICHAEL!!!!!! YOU SAID SO YOURSELF IN ANOTHER EARLIER ARTICLE ABOUT WILL AND SONNY’S WEDDING ON DAYS!!!!!! THE FIRST WEDDING WITH GAY MALES WAS THE MASS WEDDING CEREMONY ON OLTL BACK IN 2009!!!!!
Chris-
There were multiple same-sex couples in the OLTL mass wedding, and what I am saying here is it iis WilSon is the first male gay couple of major characters to have a their own wedding. To clarify, but it should be inferred.
Best,
Michael
You GO Michael.. I agree…
Thanks for your clarification, Michael! Sorry if I came across loud and angry by posting in all caps in my original comment post! I’m very proud and happy that DAYS decided to marry Will and Sonny!
The couples on One Live To Live were NEVER actually married. It was a protest wedding, an act of civil disobedience. It was not a wedding. No one who participated in that protest was actually legally wed. Also, none of the 3 gay characters Nick, Oliver or Kyle participated in the wedding so there were no gay male characters married during that action (even as a protest). The goal of the action was to TRY to make gay marriage legal but it never actually happened because Dorian was arrested. So to this day, Will and Sonny are STILL the only gay, US couple to be legally married on any daytime soap.
Yes, those gay couples were actually married, and Kyle and Nick did participate in the mass same sex marriage, though they never went through getting marred!
No they weren’t because same sex marriage was unlawful in Pennsylvania that’s why Dorian staged that mass wedding protest. Dorian was arrested because she had no power or authority to marry those couples. So not a single day player couple was legally wed on that fateful day in Llanview.
Thank you for the interview Michael. What a awesome and entertaining event. I’m so pleased with DAYS..a million billion!
The entire wedding was beautifully done. This is one episode that I will remember for the rest of my life. Thank you Days for sticking to your guns and doing this very important episode. I was truly moved by this episode..
Mr. Fairman,
In the days leading up to and after Will and Sonny’s wedding I had thought it was wonderful. The bachelor party T (played by Brendan Coughlin) had put on was just about the funniest Days episode that I had ever seen. T was mortified that a female stripper was involved and Will and Sonny had taken it in stride and knew that T’s heart and intention was good and they played along with a sense of humor. I had watched Thursday’s episode of the WilSon wedding and I had thought it was absolutely wonderful. Ordinarily I would wait to watch Thursday’s episodes of Days and General Hospital for Saturday but this time I couldn’t wait to see it.
Bradley
isn’t it something…
isn’t T something…
I’m so glad… DOOL production Team… has brought T in to the forefront… he’s charismatic… charming… almost magnetizing… FUN… playful…
he envelopes his being/ persona just right
yikes… he’s Woof material
My favorite moment was no predictable interuptions that usually happen at a Days wedding…
I respectfully disagree with Freddie, thinking that having the wedding so soon after Chandlers departure will kickstart this partnership and connect Guy and Freddie. For me as a former fan of this couple it just solidifies my decision to stop watching. It was too soon, we watched Chandlers and Freddie’s journeys with these characters and then we were denied the conclusion of the journey when Chandler was let go early. It really didn’t feel like Sonny was marrying Will, but some stranger that doesn’t at all act like the character of Will that we watched grow and change over the last several years. Doesn’t help that Gutys scenes still appear robotic and forced.
I agree.Guy started taping in early September and the wedding scenes were taped in December i think because of DOOL’s taping schedule.So between September and December Freddie and Guy had 3 or so months to get connected.Also the show had Will and Sonny get engaged only a month or so after Guy took over and then only 2 months or so after the characters get married.I think all the actors including Guy did good work in the wedding scenes but to me there was something missing.
Agreed. The wedding would have had much more depth and resonance had Chandler Massey’s Will wed Sonny instead og Guy Wilson’s boring take on the character. Massey’s the Will that the audience went on this incredible journey with and to have nuWill be the one to marry Sonny diminished the experience. Were Massey still Will, DAYS could have used so many flashbacks and gone down the WilSon v.1.0 storyline memory lane. Instead we got a nuWill who’s just been onscreen for 3 months marrying Sonny. Plus, I don’t see or feel the organic and palpable chemistry and connection Massey had with Freddie Smith and especially Hall. It’s not hard to read between the lines to see that Hall misses Massey and that it should’ve been Massey’s Will that got to experience this historic event.
That’s what bugs me the most: had TIIC just allowed Chandler Massey to complete the last 3 months of his contract, then the audience would have been rewarded with a real WilSon wedding with the two actors who actually played out the couple’s romantic journey and not with a nuWill who’s essentially done nothing since he came on. It truly was too soon to have such an important event happen with WilSon’s storyline when Guy Wilson is still practically a stranger. It felt like an impostor was standing by Sonny and there was indeed something missing from the whole event as nicely done as it was.
Had this been done properly, DAYS should have let Massey finish his stint, gotten WilSon married with Massey still playing the role and then replace Massey with Guy Wilson as nuWill after the couple was away off canvas for a while. That’s the way to start the new chapter of WilSon with a nuWill. Guy Wilson’s statement that the wedding marked his and Freddie Smith’s “new era” is just stupid. Guy Wilson still has to prove he actually owns the role and because WilSon hasn’t had any real story and have just been reactive to the actions of those around them, he has yet to make a true impression that he IS Will. The wedding to Sonny does not accomplish that.
Guy Wilson’s Will marrying Sonny is the equivalent of the scenario where Hope and Bo decide to get remarried but on the day of the ceremony, Bo was being played by Robert Kelker-Kelly instead of Peter Reckell.
Absolutely amazing episode, so well written and played out.
I think they all did a exceptionally nice job. The wedding was very nice.
It was beautiful, wonderful, touching and memorable! All of those things made it a memorable day in television. Days was brave to do it but it needed to be done. There are so many people who frown on gay marriage but it’s a fact of life; why not show it not to be ashamed of but to embrace it for what it is and that it’s happening right here, right now!
I have to commend the actors on their performances; Peggy McKay was awesome and watching all of the Bradys and others at the wedding wondering if the story about the gay customers at the pub was her dementia; not realizing that they had a gay couple who were one of their first customers. I loved Sami’s tears and EJ handing her his handkerchief to wipe away those tears was so natural, so typical of a couple watching their son (and stepson to be) get married. Marlena’s officiating at the wedding was just the perfect touch! Freddie and Guy were so touching and sweet in their performances , they brought Sonny and Will to life for all of their fans. Great performances, great job writers on a memorable storyline that will go down in Days history as one of the best ever!!!!
Couldn’t agree more Betty, I can’t think of any episode of DAYS I’ve ever enjoyed more
The answers to the wedding happening so soon were quite revealing. Freddie said it was a smart move. That’s true. It was. Guy said “This is officially our era now.” What a complete douche. This guy’s ego is out of control. What makes it even worse is that he can’t act and has no chemistry with Freddie. It’s painful to watch him and the wedding was a joke.
We’ll see if this comment is posted or stays posted. If not, that might be why there are a whopping three positive comments. The rest are being censored.
Don’t blame an actor because soap fans have an irrational obsession with the actors who play certain characters. Soaps are like plays, any actor or actress can play any role at any time. It’s not up to fans to decide who gets to have a freaking job. Guy is allowed to play the role of Will because he was hired to do so. It’s HIS job. Chandler had his shot and the actor BEFORE Chandler had his shot at playing Will. Why can’t soap fans be adult about things and stop holding onto the past with a vice grip. Will is a character, he’s not real, he is whatever the writers want him to be and however the actor portrays him. If you can’t deal with roles being recast, stop watching soaps but don’t blame the actors because you can’t move on or get over an actor leaving.
My opinion of Guy has nothing to do with Chandler or him leaving. It also doesn’t have anything to do with how he is portraying Will (which is really just a reflection of the writing). The issue is Guy is not a good actor. If was even decent, I’d be fine with him in the role. He was horribly miscast. In addition, his egotistical comments aren’t doing him any favors. Many others agree with me.
I totally agree.
Yup, that pretty much sums it up. Guy Wilson was not the greatest recast ever as Greg Meng had promised to DAYS viewers back in August after he fired Chandler Massey. He has no chemistry with Freddie Smith and now I can’t stand to watch Will’s scenes with Marlena, which is sad because the Will/Marlena interaction provided some of the outstanding moments for DAYS from 2011-2013. The love, joy and playfulness in the Will/Marlena relationship are now lost and gone.
You have some good points.I have nothing against Guy for taking the job of playing Will because he had nothing to do with Chandler leaving.One of my issues with Guy and this is not his fault but when he took over the role Will and Sonny were already together.So we didn’t get to see how Guy would play Will as an individual character and not just part of a couple.Plus Chandler had chemistry with a lot of other actors on the show besides Freddie.I know Chandler had longer to establish chemistry with the other actors and Guy had only about 3 months or so from when he started to when these scenes were taped.Plus i’m wondering how the other actors truly felt about Chandler leaving and Guy taking over the role.Their contracts may prohibit actors from criticizing the show.
Guy haters will hate anything he says or does. If Freddie would have said, “It’s our era now”, you would have agreed. Anything Guy Wilson says is automatically labeled as wrong and being arrogant.
I think they did a fantastic job and I like the new mature Will.
Not true. If Freddie has uttered those words, I also would have thought it was arrogant. However, Freddie has class and would never have said that in the first place.
I’m not saying Freddie wouldn’t have made the same comments that Guy did but maybe in a different way.For example Freddie might have said he and Chandler had their time together on the show but now it’s his and Guy’s turn.However the only person who knows what Guy meant by his comments is Guy himself
I don’t think he mean’t by saying… this is our era.. that he mean’t them.. personally
as he may have mean’t that homosexuals… are “free” to marry
that this, by being inclusive… that we… as gay men… are by right… including ourselves.. in this new era… that marriage between men and women and men is cumulative.. and… it’s a part of.. but nevertheless… OUR time
I doubt that that’s what Guy Wilson meant unless he inadvertently outed himself as a gay/bi man by saying, “This is officially our era now.” Wilson was alluding to his character because he believes that now that the characters are husbands, WilSon 2.0 is official and he is now the one true Will, not Chandler Massey. Wilson was not making a universal statement on behalf of LGBTQ individuals.
I thought it was nicely done. I knew Caroline’s speech had a point.
It was beautiful and romantic and phenomenal from beginning to end. Everyone did a great job. Freddie and Guy were perfect as Sonny and Will. Peggy and Wally and Bryan were fantastic. This wedding week is my favorite episodes of all. Love is love and this wedding proved that.
The wedding was one of the best I’ve ever seen on soaps, and it far and away surpassed Charles Pratt’s AMC wedding of Bianca and Reese, for the primary reason that the wedding here was actually about the couple, their highs and lows, their families, their friends, and their future. The Bianca and Reese wedding was more about Reese’s passionate kiss with her brother in law the night before, and her dream of marrying him, and Kendall overhearing that the engaged couple intended to stay in Pine Valley and her running off in a car, only to cause Greenlee’s motorcycle to swerve over a cliff. The couple, unfortunately, was secondary. I remember Mr. Pratt saying that a gay wedding, though historic, should have the same craziness and conflicts as any other wedding, except that (1) when ABC was heavily and proudly promoting it as history in the making, that fact should have taken precedence over crazy stunts and a woman torn between her fiancée and her brother in law, and (2) not every wedding has to have nutty dramatics. I really appreciated how the Wilson wedding’s main conflict was whether Marlena would receive her license in time, and not someone lurking in the shadows, coming back from the dead, playing a sex tape of one of the grooms, or going over a cliff. DOOL took it seriously and it worked perfectly.
I also have to say that while it was shot on the set of the Kiriakis mansion, and DOOL didn’t need to build another set and spend extra money that way, I thought it was perfect how many contract actors were in attendance. I didn’t see one extra, just the people who mattered. And I thought some money went into the dresses for the women because they looked beautiful and elegant. Too many times, a soap is chintzy on spending money for an event, but this was wonderful. I also contrast it with B&B, which spends money on trips to the Middle East, but rushes to put a Brooke and Ridge wedding ceremony together which is missing the children of the characters and looks cheap in comparison, and has no heart or soul. B&B goes for splash and the big shock, while DOOL tells a story right, with characters we recognize and love. And they respect Wilson and all that their wedding represents. Good job, DOOL!
The Wedding was very good. I was unhappy with Days that they had to leave it open to that they possibly really are not married… Ejay could be up to something and maybe he did not really get the marriage license. We never saw that… So it was a gay wedding, but most likely they are not legally married……
I think people should assume they are legally married until otherwise proven. If we find out the marriage is not legal, they can be married in a huge splashy ceremony with all their Horton, Kiriakis, Brady and Johnson family members in attendance during DAYS 50th anniversary!!!
Best hour of daytime I have ever seen. Period. End of. People who do not understand why they had to recast when they did or are still upset because some actor left or just want to whine to hear themselves whine are (A) ignorant and (B) just need to get over themselves.
Right on!
Sonny and Will are teaching acceptance, but some Sonny and Will fans refuse to accept Guy!
Guy is right…this is officially a new era for WilSon and officially his and Freddie’s time no need to name call. I loved the dance most of all, so it was neat to read about how neither one knew how to waltz properly. Most people don’t so in that respect the scene was so completely real. I loved how Guy looked at Freddie while they danced, I believed right at that moment they were in love. Good job done by all involved.
I thought it was great wedding and that it went off without a hitch.I’m sure now that they are married now there’ll be lots of drama for Will and Sonny.As for Guy i have accepted him as Will but i did wish Chandler was still playing Will because then the show could have used flashbacks of Will and Sonny’s relationship.Airing flashbacks could have been nice for new and old fans of the show.Also since Days tapes 4 or so months in advance these scenes were probably taped back in December and that’s when Chandler’s contract would have expired.Before Chandler was let go he probably knew the show was planning to have Will and Sonny get engaged and eventually marry.I can understand the show wanting fans getting used to Guy in the role before the wedding happened and that explains why they let Chandler go early.
Good point– many fans forget although shows are taped months ahead, the actual plotting of stories are done much earlier—- I’m positive the reason they let Chandler go was for the very reason you stated, they knew the wedding would be taping shortly after he left, and as angry as fans were they let him go early, they would have been even madder if they literally had Sonny marry the new guy a week or so after Chandler left.
I have been watching Days for only the last 3 months and regret not watching it before. I just love it , and I think the wedding was done very tastefully. It’s a fact of life and has to be faced. A message has to be sent to all the bigots that being gay is NOT a CHOICE. They are born that way , and we must accept and understand. The way Sonny & Will’s parents accepted it was just wonderful. I remember what a certain parent said to his gay son who had a hard time “coming out”…. ” I knew you were gay when you were 14, but I have loved you since the day you were born.”
How hard it must have been in the olden days when they had to hide in the closet.
“Thank You”, Verna
“…They are born that way”
Tears
I am a 51 year old gay man
i’ve always likened this “tolerance” as …. “why” would I put myself through ALL this… “everything”
it’s a heavy load that my heart flies
I’m celebrating
I was in a mess of tears while watching! I cried my eyes out during Caroline’s speech, she was amazing, then I cried and laughed during Justin and Lucas speeches, after I cried during WilSon’s vows. And I also cried during the first dance, and Kate and Will little scene, I laughed seeing Adrienne and Sami bitching (Judi Evans and Alison Sweeney make so many funny faces when they share a scene, I love them to bits). I enjoyed every moment of this wedding and cried again at the end, with WilSon finally alone and married. Word, I’m still in a confusional state, right now, so happy, so overhelmed by feelings, so proud of our guys, so grateful to the show, to Freddie Smith, Guy Wilson and before him to Chandler Massey for everything they have done to keep telling the awesome WilSon story so far.
I love it I watch and starting crying and when I saw a tear come down from kates face that was priceless sonny and will made it one of the greatest think I have every seen on tv.. love you all and god bless
This week’s episodes of DAYS have been nothing short of superb. I’m calling it, now.
The April 1st and April 3rd episodes are a shoo-in for the 2015 Daytime Emmys for Writing and Drama Series.
I watched the wedding episodes and was very impressed by the quality and care of the wedding. It was beautiful. I was also very impressed with the entire look of the show. Having just about reached my limit with Y&R, I’m looking for a change and could use some help. Can someone tell me who’s who in the zoo on DOOL?
For starters, because of your username, I should tell you that Kassie DePaiva (Blair, OLTL) has joined DAYS as Eve! Her first scenes will air around July. Eve is very important as part of the Brady family. Her sister is Theresa (the gal that bumped into the waiter at the wedding reception). Eve and Theresa are the granddaughters of Caroline Brady (she gave the opening speech at the wedding). Their first cousin is Sami (Will’s mother). Sami’s father is Roman Brady (Caroline’s son). Sami’s mother is Dr. Marlena Evans.
The Horton family is the premiere family of Salem. The Brady family soon followed. Will is part of both families. His father is Lucas Horton (divorced from Sami). The sister of Lucas is Jennifer (mother to Abby and JJ). The father of Abby and JJ is Jack (presumed dead). Jack’s sister is Adrienne ( Sonny’s mother). Adriennes’s husband and father of Sonny is Justin Kiriakis. The wedding was held at the home of Victor Kiriakis (Justin’s Uncle).
Special note: Eve is not a Brady by blood. She is a Brady step daughter. So, she and Theresa are half sisters.
I don’t want to confuse anyone, so that should be enough right now. If you need specific questions answered, I’ll try my best! Ask and bask…Days of our Lives!
I thought the wedding was great ! It was emotional and funny. I was expecting to see what was in J J and Abigale s gift. I will always love Days.
Not really liking the new Will…. he is def too pretty.. and everytime I see him kiss.. I am not believing the chemistry and the kiss…. I have tried to see it.. but just do not see this..
“…as around the country the first daytime male same-sex wedding in soaps was airing.”
I’m a couple eppis behind…
“as around the globe…”
tolerance is ebbing… by the wayside… and conviction… standing forthright… for you… IS
Celebrate that I am : with
tears
I commend NBC / Sony / Days of OUR Lives for furthering just cause
I am a Salemite… and couldn’t be happier
applause
This was far the best Soap Wedding I have ever watched on Days. I’ve been watching since
for the last years and I loved every single moment of this day. I have watched and re-watched this many times in the past few days. THANK YOU, DAYS FOR MAKING MY FAVE COUPLE MORE REAL TO ME. GREAT JOB TO, FREDDIE AND GUY!!!
No soap does a wedding like DAYS! The wedding of Will and Sonny was fantastic! We will soon be treated to the “wedding” of EJ and Sami! I’m sure that will be memorable for completely different reasons! The weddings of our lives!!!
Congratulations Days! Relevant. Ground-breaking. WilSon (for me) is the best gay SL ever on a US soap (with GL’s Otalia being second and ATWT’s Nuke being third).
I thought guy and Freddie did a good job loved the weeding
After the Luke-Noah and Luke-Reid SLs ending disaster on ATWT, and Brian and Justin SL ending debacle on QAF; I had given up hope that there would ever be a HEA to a male-male pairing in American soaps and shows. I started watching Wilson regularly only since the beginning of 2014. And, I am extremely happy that at least one male-male couple got their HEA on American Daytime/Nighttime Drama. Now, I want to watch the entire Will and Sonny SL from the beginning; where can I find this absolutely beautiful and wonderful love story right from the start? Congratulations! to DOOL for this brave and courageous ground-breaking move. And, the actors, especially GW, FS, AS, DH, the adorable great-grandma Caroline were simply brilliant. The whole wedding was the best ever seen in soaps or shows.
i thought that the wedding was well done. however, that doesn’t change the fact that Wilson is now a boring dull couple. I have been giving the nuWill a chance, but there is just nothing there. his acting is flat and he just hasn’t made me believe i should care about him. i mostly watch on youtube and the number of hits they get on youtube is relatively low. if DOOL is really committed to this couple/storyline, they had better start figuring things out. public interest is pretty much fading.
I’m constantly amused at ppl who seem to have a problem with fans not liking Guy Wilson. I too don’t think Guy is a good actor, nothing to do with Chandler being let go etc. I didn’t have a problem with the recast announcement at all. What I do have a problem with is the choice of GW. he lacks chemistry with Freddie deidre and Allison. We were invested in Wilson just as everyone else was. We starred the journey with Chanfler is it unreasonable that we rdisappointed he didn’t get to finish it. I have an issue with Guy as an actor not a person as I don’t know him personally. But im not going to feel guilty because I don’t happen to think he’s a good actor. Everyone that says we r hating on Guy it’s just ridiculous. I don’t haste him just his acting there’s a difference.
There is no logical reason why I should feel so invested in Will’s Story, when I know full well that it’s just a TV show, just fiction, where the actors themselves don’t even truly think or feel the same as the characters they portray on the show. Yet Will’s Story has captivated me.
Perhaps I was particularly susceptible, never having previously watched a soap opera before I stumbled upon this a couple years ago. The writers and actors did a masterful job in telling the story slowly, allowing us to get to know the ideal boy-next-door, and then walking us step by step through his process. What made it so lifelike was showing how this was hardly his only problem, not even usually his biggest problem, but how it dovetailed into all of the other craziness thrown at his life from other directions. Yet, like people in real life, this issue at the core of his being subtly affected how he dealt with the world around him, even when he didn’t want it to.
Every scene between Marlena and Will (Deidre and Chandler) was like a golden nugget of time. I credit the writers for giving the grandmothers in the audience a guidebook of exactly the right words to say in situations like these with their own grandchildren. The same can be said for the private conversations between Sonny and Will. People always look back on previous conversations with regrets of, “I should have said…” It was so gratifying to hear dialogs played out with the perfect words that ordinary people never think of in the moment. The world would be a better place if everyone had a Marlena and a Sonny in their lives.
I also appreciated the point-blank, brutally honest reaction of Will’s best friend Tad. What he said might have been particularly ugly, but it helped to make the story realistic. Of course, Tad’s eventual road to acceptance was also very nice to see.
It’s because this storyline was so captivating that I really began to look forward to those occasional days off when I would be at home on a weekday, so I could tune in to watch the show’s broadcasts “live” from 1:00pm to 2:00pm. Sure, it’s convenient to watch the episodes a few days later online at 360p, but the free over-the-air HDTV broadcasts at 1080i are so much better looking that I don’t even mind watching either commercials or story-lines I didn’t care about.
This is why I felt so cheated out of a sense of closure to this storyline when the show unceremoniously fired Chandler Massey, and the timing in which they did it. I could understand if the actor had been hit by a bus and the show had no choice to replace him unexpectedly. But to deny the audience closure over an inter-personal ego-driven tiff, most likely based upon a simple misunderstanding, feels like an undeserved personal slap in the face. It is also incomprehensible how supposedly sophisticated business people, who came up with this great storyline in the first place, could also behave in a manner which appears childish beyond belief.
My problem with the wedding was that something in the back of my mind kept telling me that Sonny was marrying the wrong person. If they had simply allowed Freddie to marry Chandler, go off on a honeymoon for a few weeks, and then come back with a different actor playing Will, I probably would have been fine with that.
It seems very unlikely that any actor could possibly win three Emmy awards three years in a row for playing the same character, but since Chandler is indeed nominated again, if he wins, it would be poetic justice (even though unfair to other deserving actors also nominated).
As much as I intellectually want to like the new Will, I just simply don’t feel it. Unfortunately, I now have a disincentive to keep watching the show, because even when there is a good scene with the new Will, it stings, leaving me thinking, “I wish Chandler were playing this scene, because I can imagine how he would do it so much better.” So, now I’m skipping episodes. Maybe I will come back to it later. If I had even a small glimmer of hope that the show might somehow come to its senses and ask Chandler to come back (or that he’d even be willing to do so if offered), I’d probably keep watching regularly just to maintain the continuity. It just feels so unnecessarily disappointing – a pathetic stifling of something so bright and so promising, for no good reason. Perhaps it’s time to find a new distraction.
The story is about Will and Sonny whom eventually married. Will and Sonny were married. It is not and never was about Chandler and Freddie. Chandler and Freddie never wanted to marry each other. Chandler and Freddie-no. Will and Sonny-yes. GET OVER IT!
Good point. There are much better things in life to which to devote energy than a silly TV show. If the show’s manufacturers don’t care much about it, why should I? Time to move on to things in this world which actually matter. Satisfied? Is that “over it” enough for you? Apparently, some people have appointed themselves the Feeling Police, with the power to dictate to other people how they are allowed to react to what they see and hear.
