This interview doesn’t give me hope that Paul will be for Sonny. They will probably hook him out with Will. Will always have to drive the story. I just hope we get good Sonny scenes. Can’t have high expectation for Sonny.

Guest

I think Paul is for Sonny. Will probably has another guy that he meets in CA and that is the secret he comes home keeping. I think mystery man shows up in Salem later on and blows Will’s secret. My speculation of course.

Guest

Samantha

And then Sonny sleeps with Paul.

Guest

Nicole Holbrook

i don’t want Paul with Sonny. I like Will and Sonny together.

I Think That Whatever Happens In The Next Few Months Will Be Different, Interesting, And Mysterious As Well As Unexpected, But I Still See Will And Sonny Becoming Closer As A Married Couple With More Things Going On In Their Life Together. I Do Hope That In April, The Writers Will Have Put Out An Episode Where Will And Sonny Celebrate Their First Anniversary As A Married Gay Couple
That Will Be Fun And Passionate And Romantic For Them And For The Fans.

Guest

LeeAnn

Freddie and Guy have said they filmed the one year wedding anniversary show 🙂

Guest

4ever DAYS

We now know Paul is for Sonny.

Guest

Samantha

Paul is Sonny’s selfish ex. I am sure about that.

Guest

LeeAnn

I was thinking the same thing. I don’t think either will actually cheat but the temptation due to Will , like Guy said doing a half assed thing and leaving Sonny to go to Hollywood, will cause a few fights. They did say in an earlier interview they do celebrate their one year anniversary so eventually all will be good again between them. A little jealousy for Will won’t be bad. he tends to forget that he almost lost Sonny due to his not so smart moves.

Guest

kay

Yes I think so too.

Guest

Here you are all wondering about Sonny, but is absolutely nobody worried about Freddie?!

Guest

LeeAnn

Of course we are worried about Freddie. Only time will tell what happens next but I am hoping all goes well for him.

Guest

Alex

What makes you so sure Paul is Sonny’s ex?

Guest

4ever DAYS

They kissed today.

Guest

And DAYS is making Sonny the cheater? Great. First Will becomes detestaable and now Sonny too. Good going NBC! You got it all wrong. From gold to trash.

Guest

Alex

Is a soap. That is what happens. I have to see it to believe that Sonny cheats. Days was never interested in Sonny as anymore than Will’s handler. I think that Days has been treating WilSon as second class. No couple their age would be settle with baby, marriage and happy baby clothes folding life. Babies are used for drama for hetero couples. Heck, look at JJ and Paige. Even teenage hetero couples get adult soapy story. So I really hope this coming story brings it for WilSon finally. If not, I can happily wash my hands of the show… Read more »

Guest

LeeAnn

I don’t think Sonny will cheat…maybe be flattered when/if someone flirts with him with Will being possibly being gone for so long and whatever trouble happens when he comes back but nahhhh Sonny won’t cheat, neither will Will…course just MY prediction.

Guest

4ever DAYS

Join us.

Guest

And I still don’t understand why you or anyone actually, never interviewed Freddie and Chandler together. I call foul.

Guest

Alex

You have to call foul on CM and his agent I guess. I’m pretty sure they were the reason FS and CM hardly did press together.

Guest

LeeAnn

rumor has it that Chandlers people didn’t want them to interview together. I don’t know if that is true but it’s what is rumored to be true.
You know how rumors are……

Guest

4ever DAYS

It seems you should be happy that Freddie and Guy do joint interviews and appearances instead of being angry that Chandler and Freddie didn’t do much off set. Maybe your anger is turning to sadness…a sadness at the realization that Chandler only played Will for a paycheck. HE AND/OR HIS HANDLERS (AGENTS OR WHAT HAVE YOU) FEARED THAT CHANDLER WOULD DEFINATELY BE VIEWED AS GAY AND NOT ABLE TO PLAY STRAIGHT ROLES IF HE WERE TO DO REGULAR PRESS WITH FREDDIE AND CONTINUE ON DAYS MUCH LONGER. And don’t be surprised to learn Chandler accepts an acting job really soon…a… Read more »

Days is not the only soap with gay characters. GH has with three gay characters, but you are right in the sense that their gay couple is not a more central focus. They could do better and feature them more, but they are there.

I’m so glad to hear that they will be appearing more onscreen. Ups and downs are fun to watch, but I truly hope that Will and Sonny are endgame in this scenario.

Guest

Alex

Will and Sonny are endgame. That has been obvious from the beginning. I hope they get shaking up big time though. Lets having cheating, misunderstanding and all kinds of soapy drama. I don’t watch soaps to see young couples fold baby clothes, talk about baby while dressing like Mr. Rogers and/or wearing the ugliest shirts I ever seen put on people. Lets do them justice Days and give FS and GW something interesting to work with and give us something interesting to watch.

Guest

4ever DAYS

They can be involved in a triangle.

Will can be torn between Sonny and an early released Gabi!

Will can be like that Dynasty dude (he was the Salem Strangler) that could not make up his mind!!!

Guest

Alex

I’m not sure if you are joking or not but um..no.
I’m only coming back to the show now. I left when this stupid show expected me to watch Gabi playing house with them. Will is gay. Why would he be into any woman. Did you miss the whole coming out story.

Guest

You truly are a sad person. The original Will & Sonny had charm, guts and beauty. All what the show and lame audience wants now is trash.

Guest

Sasha

What a disgusting heterosexist nonsense that you are propagating here. Will is gay and it’s just an expression of the aggressive heteronormativity ruling our society that someone would want to turn him (at least) “half straight” again.

Guest

LeeAnn

I don’t want cheating..flirting is ok but not cheating..but hey that is just me…lol

Guest

4ever DAYS

Had to reply here, LeeAnn (Rimes?)… I know she’s a DAYS fan.

I meant the writers brought Paul for Sonny. Yes, Paul’s surprised look could be that he had no idea Sonny lived in Salem or he may have been happy to not have to leave the hospital to see him.

Guest

4ever DAYS

Had to reply here. I was serious. I liked the coming out story, but realize some people can’t be classified as gay or straight. There a differing grays. In the beginning, Will was attracted to Mia and then Gabi. He had sex with Gabi and was not feeling it. That pushed him to confront his feelings for the same sex. The second time Will was with Gabi was what resulted in her pregnancy with Ari…He tried to use her as a way to fight against his perceived notion that he was gay. It just proved Gabi was not the girl… Read more »

*There are differing grays.

Guest

Alex

Will didn’t come out as Bi. His realization was not omg I like men too. He came out as gay. It would make zero sense to turn his character back. Yes the world has Bi and Pan sexual people in it but Will is neither. He is GAY. Whatever though. I don’t really want to have this discussion. I find it sad that there is always some that want to see whatever one or two gay characters we have to turn back to woman.

Guest

Liz

I agree with Alex that there is no question about this, but if you want evidence that the show”s writers are clear on this: Will and Gabi had a discussion about exactly this a day or two after they slept together the second time. Gabi asked if he was reconsidering his sexuality and Will replied that if she meant was he bisexual, that no, he wasn’t. He was gay. And when he talked to EJ after he was revealed to be the baby’s father, he said that it was right after being with Gabi that he felt quite sure of… Read more »

Guest

Alex

We could all have been wrong. Rafe is talking about Gabi to Marlena. This makes no sense unless they are bring that shit character back. Maybe Paul isn’t gay/bi and for her hence he will be in Will and Sonny’s sphere/”story”. Maybe Gabi lame release from jail is the unforeseen thing that brings Will back to Salem. Melanie is back and every hero needs their villain. WilSon won’t cheat each other just stupid misunderstanding and play second fiddle to Gabi’s story again. This would easily make me swear off this show for good.

Guest

Alex

Sorry for over reaction but I just don’t trust this show.

Guest

4ever DAYS

No, Paul came to Salem for Sonny. It’s turning into a Will, Sonny and Paul triangle unless there’s a fourth person which would be someone Will is seeing in L.A…A quadrangle.

Guest

LeeAnn

I don’t think Paul knew Sonny was in Salem. He came for Daniel to do his surgery. You can tell he was very surprised when he saw Sonny in the hallway at the hospital.

Guest

Patrick

at least all the wondering, questioning… what’s going to happen is about relationships

I can’t keep up at GH right now… i’m letting it play out

it crossed my mind as well… could Gabs be coming back? it would be serious retread… and geez! even Gabs could spark with Paul…..

that to me is the big question… who’s with who….

Pauls a keeper… if all this is generating in just a few days of his premiere

Guest

Patrick

the first thing that comes to mind:

a young couple on the cusp of life

and yes…. albeit… a triumph….. Gabi and Arianna Grace

and YES, YES, YES….. one of… if not the most beautiful love stories…. reminiscent of the super couple charged DAYS of ole’

that’s a big thing… and it just so happens along with… keeping DAYS in the know… and sharing a whole segment of our every day lives that has blossomed… be it on screen and reality, ongoing steps up the ladder to equate sharing life with

happy that Will and Sonny continue to be

Guest

Patrick

I’m still torn about Paul

should he be with : Sonny, Will, Theresa, Jordan, Abs, Anne

LOL

every one shares his spark

DAYS Alison Sweeney Previews the New EJami

June 6, 2021

Coming up on Days of our Lives, Dan Feurerriegel take over the role of EJ DiMera on-screen, and the character is making quite the timely, or untimely return to Salem now that Sami (Alison Sweeney) has been hitting the sheets with her ex-husband, Lucas (Bryan Dattilo).

Feurerriegel is stepping into the coveted role of EJ made soap-famous by James Scott, who left the series back in 2014 and never returned.

Now the question is can Sweeney and Feurerriegel strike soap gold with their re-imagined duo known as “EJami”?

In the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest on newsstands now, Alison Sweeney opened up about the casting, working with Dan, and the future of EJami sharing: “To be honest, I was nervous when I heard they were recasting EJ. That’s a big role to fill, I mean, James Scott was definitely a fan favorite and EJ is such a memorable role in the story and certainly in Sami’s life.”

Sweeney said of sharing scenes with Feurerriegel, “Dan has been fantastic. I’ve really enjoyed working with him. He clearly understood the importance of the task ahead.”

As for what fans of EJami may be in for, Sweeney noted: ” I hope those ‘EJami’ fans see the couple they were so connected to, but of course, in a new, different way.”

So will you be giving the new EJami a chance? Looking forward to Dan’s debut, or are you Team Lumi all the way? Share your thoughts via the comment section below. But first check out this week’s promo for DAYS.

DAYS Billy Flynn Opens Up To Maurice Benard About His Battle with Addiction on All-New ‘State of Mind’

May 30, 2021

In a terrific episode of Maurice Benard’s (Sonny Corinthos, General Hospital) State of Mind You Tube series, the actor welcomes another one of the best actors on daytime, Days of our Lives star Billy Flynn (Chad DiMera, Days of our Lives).

What made this so compelling was Billy Flynn’s ability to talk openly, frankly, and with great understanding about his battles with addiction which he notes have been alcohol, drugs, and the cycles he has found himself in within his life and how he was able to break free of them, and the work he continues to do to keep him from falling back into them.

Flynn shares how much of his adult life was greatly impacted by his childhood, and explained to Benard, how he acted out when he was younger. He also shares how his addiction caused issues for awhile with his job at Days of our Lives.

This episode is a powerful one to watch for anyone struggling with issues of addiction, dependency, suicide, having problems at work, and trying to not self-destruct, which so many of us do, once we seemingly get what we what or while we are trying to obtain it.

Bravo to Billy and Maurice for bringing this forward and to the audience.

Watch Billy’a visit on State of Mind below, followed by a bonus segment where Flynn asks Benard some ‘hard-hitting’ questions.
