After the upcoming October 29th false start where Lucas walks in on his son, Will, and his boyfriend, Sonny in an intimate moment, and has a bit of a freak out of what he sees, the guys finally have their day! According to TV Guide, the long awaited Will and Sonny sex scene will happen on the November 14th airshow of Days of our Lives!
Chandler Massey (Will) and Freddie Smith (Sonny) shared their thoughts and views on the love scene, especially how long it took for this scene to occur, the importance of this step in cementing that this is a couple to root for, and if there was any nervousness during the filming. Here are a few excerpts from the guys conversation with TVG below! Then, check out the preview clip of Will and Sonny’s sex scene!
Freddie Smith commented on the time it has taken for Will and Sonny to get-together: “It’s allowed the audience to get to know our characters and to get to a place where they are really rooting for them to get together. I don’t expect anyone will think the sex scene is controversial. Hopefully, we’re past that. This isn’t a story about two gay guys. It’s about two human beings who truly love each other.”
Daytime Emmy winner, Chandler Massey stated: “It’s refreshing to have a couple in soaps who haven’t been thrown together too quickly. We took our time before getting to the sex and the characters and the show are better for it. But (laughs) I will also say that it’s about time!”
On the sex scene itself, Smith revealed: “Chandler and I were much more nervous about our first kissing scene. Our hearts were really pounding during that one but it worked out great because our characters’ hearts were pounding, too. Since then Will and Sonny have done enough flirting and kissing and cuddling that, as actors, we weren’t nervous about finally getting to the sex. The way we shot it is very real and passionate but tasteful. Chandler and I are comfortable with each other and it shows. We have good chemistry. We trust each other.”
Massey weighed in on where the couple will go from here: “Consummating the relationship will make them bond in a much more intimate way. I guess this finally makes them an official couple to the people of Salem and it will be no big deal. Everyone is going to recognize it and accept it. Yes, even Lucas!”
After the jump, check out a preview clip of Will and Sonny’s intimate encounter! Then let us know what you think of it!
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.

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.

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.

Mucho caliente!! Is this in Sami’s living room?
They should just head over to Dimera mansion.The Dimera sofa that EJ seems to like so much has seen quite a bit of hot action over the years.
haha! somewhere other than Sami’s house – geez, anyone could just drop in that place! How about a hotel 😀
It’s not in Sami’s house. It’s in either Will or Sonny’s apartment.
Saw that it was Sonny’s yesterday; glad about that 🙂 All those sets look exactly alike, Rafe’s, Sami’s, EJ’s and now Sonny’s!
This crap need to off the air this not cool showing to males kissing n sleeping together.take it off,take it off I have no problem with gays but this should not be shown on national TV.
Lenita, then don’t watch! Homophobes like you why we have these issues in society. I don’t think half the stuff shown on television should be shown, so two men making love for the first time is hardly a problem. Take your hate elsewhere.
Yeh
I happen to be a supporter of LGBTQ rights and my best friend is gay we watch this show and love it. you dont se him gay people complaining when straight couples kiss and have sex on tv. so don’t go making homophobic remarks like that 🙁
Lenita, clearly you DO have a problem with Gays…why else would you equate them with what you consider “crap”. If you don’t have a problem with them why would it bother you to see them on tv? It’s hard to believe in this day and age( 2014) narrow minded comments like this are still being said…it makes me really sad.
Boys will be boys.
wherethebearsare.tv!
Gorgeous scene……it’s a shame ATWT screwed up the most breathtaking union in Daytime history……Luke and Reid.How Van was cheated out of not one,but three Emmys is beyond me.
Luke & Reid? NO THANK YOU! Luke and Noah were the most beautiful same sex couple in daytime TV. Let’s hope DOOL doesn’t sabotage Will & Sonny’s relationship the way the producers and writers of ATWT did to Van & Jake’s characters.
Luke and Reid? In your dreams. Luke and Noah was the best gay couple on daytime tv. They were a gorgeous couple with amazing chemistry that routinely got screwed over by tptb at ATWT. I don’t watch DAYS but I’m happy to see Will and Sonny be able to have an intimate relationship like any straight couple.
LOL…..Jake Silbermann couldn’t act his way out of a wet paper bag with a double edged machete!
I agree. Noah and Luke were fantastic
I am over days. I just am not into this storyline and don’t see any chemistry between them.
I much preferred the Luke/Reid storyline because it was more mature, compared to the first-love angst of Luke/Noah. Van Hansis was impeccable as Luke Snyder. I am cautiously optimistic about the Sonny/Will storyline, and I certainly hope the writers don’t mess it up!!
Likewise…. Noah and Luke… were ooh la la. everything about ATWT… my world turned with Oakdale…. Oye!
you know who was hot! ? ! ? Tom Wiggin…. Kirk Anderson.
Says you who obviously knows nothing! Jake is doing just fine thanks and getting rave reviews for his theater work. He and Van did fantastic work on ATWT. So hater keep hating. Reid is still fish food. LOL!!!
I think these two are adorable and I like their relationship. They are also watchable actors. Sorry, but gross. I really don’t want to see this. And before you P.C. folks jump all over me, I’m not a homophobe. I think their relationship is probably pretty realistic. I actually really enjoyed the “Kish” relationship on OLTL very much and they were one of my faves.
I guess I’m one of the few who don’t watch soaps for the bedroom scenes. I have an imagination and prefer the drama, mystery, action and intrigue aspect of daytime drama storytelling.
well, i’ve had to endure straight bedroom scenes on soaps for years, so suck it up.
maybe MbMom is into bears. lol.
lmao Justin! I agree!!!!
understood. I mean no disrespect. I feel the same about many hetero couplings. I can always FF and if it makes you and other soap fans tune in I say YEAH!
@Robert, bears? No thanks, I’m a Packers fan.;-)
I really meant no offense and I’m sorry if it came off that way. Watch whatever makes you happy and keeps soaps on the air. Will & Sonny are adorable together and as a parent I’m loving the storyline.
Exactly. I for one can’t wait. But hope there is more to this sex scene than the clip already showed. Really not much is even shown with this. What has been showing is so well done by Freddie Smith and Chandler Massey. What is being shown so far is so beautiful and sexy. Kudos to the show for promoting this. OLTL didn’t do a good job promoting Kish and just blamed them for bad ratings.
Boorrringggg
Guys, it sounds like the poster just means they hate lovemaking scenes in general, not just gay ones.
I wasn’t offended, I hear ya. Romance is pretty, we all know where it’s leading. Um, and after you’ve had kids…kinda a no-brainer.
Bears!!!!! Rule!
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! I’m so happy DAYS is taking the plunge and being brave enough to air a love scene like this for Will and Sonny. It takes me back to the days of ATWT’s Luke and Noah. I’m very excited about this! And I hope this is just the first in many to come! It’s beautiful to watch. In the order of Eileen Davidson – “I love looking at my monitor and seeing two boys kissing”!
This is going to be so ground-breaking for this show. GO DAYS OF OUR LIVES!!!!
I am going to hook onto Scott’s post because he is an ATWT fan and I like what he writes.
I never thought I’d become a DAYS fan but this is the storyline that has done it for me. The show usually is too strange for me. The plot points seem very real to me; the actors, authentic in the portrayal. And it just fits as a reflection of what goes on in our world today. Romance is so often lacking in daytime drama anymore. I am proud as a gay man to see this story, as I was “Kish” on OLTL and my beloved Luke and Noah on my missed ATWT (which by the way introduced us to a gay man named Hank in 1988!) And I loved the ALL MY CHILDREN arc about the school teacher Michael Delaney in the 1990s.
To the naysayers: I just say it is interesting the gay storylines are written with more geniuneness that some other love stories I see today, namely the quick-to-marry/quick-to-divorce crowd in Y&R’s Genoa City and that insanely stupid endless triangle and bedroom bouncing on B&B. Will and Sonny are much more mature than Steffy, Hope and Liam!
Now let’s hope for gay stories that are not always about coming out, and gay characters that just… well… are… working, living, loving, learning… part of the fabric of Salem and other soap towns.
After watching the Luke and Reid, and Luke and Noah disastrous endings on ATWT; and oher horrendous endings of gay/lesbian characters/SLs in American shows, I am not sure that DOOL will not follow prior soaps/shows in destroying its gay SL. Anyway, good luck to all following the Will and Sonny SL on DOOL. Hope you’re hopes are not crushed in the end like the ardent fans of LURE and NUKE were by TPTB of ATWT.
Well stated.
Thank you so much! A lot of people surprisingly hate what I say, so it’s nice to knowing that someone likes what I say, aha. I think DAYS is investing into something that is going to be well worth their while!
This is great, and smart to do it when ratings are down anyways, so there is no backlash. Actually, this may bring the ratings up! Lovin’ it!
It could go either way, but I think this day in age, it’ll bring them up!
Bye bye, Days of Our Lives, your “days” are numbered. Most women don’t want to watch this ish. 🙁
Then move it to Logo! It’ll run forever.
Then don’t watch nor make homophobic comments.
Well said, buddy!
Thanks Dmitri. I don’t stand for homophobic comments or hatred. It’s too disgusting in this world.
Gays have a right to love and feelings just like staights do. And, for the record, in the world of reality, it is the straights who have no problem commiting adultery, cheating right under their partners’ noses, changing partners like they change socks, and so on. No wonder the divorce rate among the straights is above the roof. So, if you are not interested don’t watch, but please don’t throw stones on anyone. Every person has a right to feel, love, and live the way he or she wishes to.
Kudos! I willingly share the same sentiments… finding love… be it.. “heterosexual or homosexual”…
it’s taking on so much extra energy that takes away from one’s own flight. Fly.. be yourself… it’s freeing and obvious to those around you that it’s all the same life.
I don’t have a problem with showing gays on “DAYS”. I do have a problem with making “DAYS” ALL ABOUT the gays. “Gays of our Lives”. Everybody is a cheerleader for the gays. They frolick in the town square. NOBODY has a problem with it, even though, as I remember this show, it has its roots in devout Catholicism. I loved the way God was revered and respected on this show. And yes, there were “sinners”, lots of them! But I don’t remember any other sins being “pimped” like this. “If you think there’s anything wrong with it, you’re just a bigot!” You cannot bully and insult people into ignoring what the Bible so clearly teaches.
The bible also says, and says it very clearly, in the 10 Commandments; thou shall not commit adultery and thou shall not covet thy neighbor’s wife. And yet, the major reason for the extremely high divorce rate in straight couples is cheating or adultery. May be straight people should first practice the teachings of the Bible before pointing fingers at gays or lesbians. All throughout history, gays and lesbians have never told straight people not be straight; but straight people have always made it a point to lecture gay people about how sinful their ways are. So it is usually the straight people who are bigots.
Why wouldn’t women want to watch this? I can’t see how two hot men getting hot isn’t sexy … don’t straight guys love watching women fooling around? how is this different???
I don’t know any straight guys who (admit to) like watching lesbians, but if they do I can only assume it’s because they like looking at naked women. (Most) women are different. We’re more interested in the relationship. We like the love stories. Bo&Hope, Patch&Kayla, Jack&jennifer, John&Marlena, DAYS has a long history of beautiful love stories, and no, I don’t think most women would rather watch two guys. Not the women I know, anyway.
I didn’t say women would rather watch two men than a man and a woman, I said I think that a lot of women like the version where no woman is involved as well.
Also, if it is all about the relationship I still don’t see a problem with that lovestory. It is as sweet as any other (and a lot more innocent than most gay or straight love stories on tv)
It Really saddens me that Days has chosen to go this route.
Amen sister!!
What a gross storyline. Showing 2 young men and sodomy. Jim Reilly must be looking upwards and smiling.
Days has more issues than this gay story. I applaud them for trying though.
And it saddens me to know how much of a judgmental person you are. I hope you don’t have to face having a gay child, they’d be lost with you.
Scott, as a straight, married, mom what intrigues me most about this storyline are the reactions of the parents & grandparents. I personally find Lucas’ reaction the most relateable. You want to be supportive, but the reality is hard to come to terms with. I think all the actors involved are doing a great job and totally support DOOL for this storyline. It seems to me very realistic by today’s standard. I’m not personally in this position, but find it very relatable. Also, DOOL needs to do something to shake things up. I hope this couple gets the support OLTL’s “Kish” didn’t get but truly deserved. I found that couple very “rootable” and they had great storyline potential, only to be written out when things were getting interesting.
Mbmomof3…
well said… I was happy to see… Lucas act out the way he did… it was a realistic portrayal that needs and should be shared… trust me… that gay person… like me… have lived through more trying times and feelings…
feelings that are quelled… and hidden… perhaps…hence.. the term closeted… and when one is strong enough to take that stand… and be counted… and declare we are all equal….
i just cherished the scenes with Lucas… Adrienne.. and Justin… without question the love for their child was evident… it was Lucas right to feel a shock to the system… that his child is not the “norm”… but… loving and being loved.. in the long run…
So it’s sad for DOOL to show two gays in love, but alright to show rape, murder and other bad things on the soap?
It’s a double standard because it’s two men. I’m sure if it were two women, people would be more OK with it. Mark my words.
I agree 100% with Dmitri and Scott and shame on those who are outright homophobes. Like Dmitri said, its okay for soaps and shows to show straight characters or couples get naked, jump into a bed, rape, murder, indulge in incest, commit adultery, change partners like changing clothes, have multiple partners at a given time, kidnap, and do all sorts of dirty and evil things at the drop of a hat. But its a definite no, no for a gay couple to be in love and care for each other. The homophobes are ready to judge gays but think nothing about all the wrong done in this world by straights. If the straights were so pure, then it is amazing why the divorce rate in US alone is around 62%, and that is not a soap or show, its the reality of the present.
RLeternal and Scott are right. If it were lesbians, it would be considered “hot”. At least by men. However, lots of women also think gay guys are hot together. I think WilSon is one of the few good things on DOOL right now.
Sure is ironic how some fans think it is ok to rape and kill on soaps. Yet two people in love and wanting to make love is so disgusting. I am so glad this show isn’t caving to the now minority viewpoints of inequality. This show is being real all the way. Major props to the show and Freddie and Chandler. I think it is pretty split down the middle between straight females and gay men that find Will and Sonny hot together. I am one of those straight females that find them hot. And it seems the females are the more vocal ones about loving Will and Sonny. This love scene from the sounds of it was only previewed in the clip and there is more to come. And I agree Scott that if it were two females these same people wouldn’t even be batting an eyelash.
That’s my feeling as well. As a Christian, I loved DAYS because it was unabashedly “pro-God”. The characters prayed, went to church, they kept “Christ” in Christmas, weddings and funerals were always very religious. I know they had many characters who did “wrong” things. But they didn’t have everybody in town cheering them on and saying “you’re right and those who believe in the Bible are just hateful bigots!” Because that’s what’s happening in Salem today. NOT ONE character has spoken out with the Christian POV. I had hoped for Grandma Caroline, at LEAST, to say something. But no, they went and gave her Alzheimers, instead. It’s all so heavy-handed and it deeply offends me.
@maddiehays, you have a point about DOOL’s history of Catholicism and Christianity. I think it would be realistic and interesting to see how that POV would be portrayed. The negative and the positive and how a “concept” or ideology can become confusing when a friend or loved one is involved and the struggle to come to terms with the reality of it.
I do hope the show maintains balance and they don’t focus soley on one or two storylines.
Hi momof3. I just wanted to make a VERY big distinction. Days has always been big on Catholicism, that is true. But Catholics and Christians are two very different types. Catholicism is a man made doctrine with many things that are anti- Biblical (Mary worship, statue worship, celibate priests…etc). Christianity is a simple faith that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Saviour. Catholicism is the easy way out. It allows people to seem like they believe in God, but without having to accept Jesus, repent, etc. You can love someone while disagreeing with their lifestyle choices. Love does not mean accepting or allowing everything a loved one chooses. When your small child wants to put their hand on a scalding hot stove burner, do you sit back and say “Honey , I love you…and I know you want to do that, so I’m going to allow it. Because I love you.”. No…you yell “Don’t!!”. Or you yell NO! Or you holler STOP! Or you slap their hand. Whatever you have to do to stop them from harming themselves…you do it. That is love. How this relates to the DAYS storyline is…NO ONE is approaching it from God’s point of view. And of course, any character who speaks God’s truth would be written and viewed as a bigot, as intolerant, and would be accused of hate speech. So there will be no true representation from the characters who claim they believe in God on this show. Even though it is a distortion of Gods Word…I am okay with it. There is enough damaging media out there about what a Christian is without putting more out there!
Hi Jesse, I was raised a Catholic and continue to practice my faith. I assure you Catholics are Christian as we believe Jesus Christ is our Savior and the son of God.
Hey MBMomofThree and Jesse, yeah, maybe you’re right, if they did have a Christian character expressing their reservations, they would just make them look bad and cartoony. But see, that’s why I’m disappointed with DAYS and the way they have rejected their Catholic/Christian roots in favor of political correctness. MBMomofThree, I have had a few gay friends, and I have seen nothing in their lives that makes me question the Bible. The males all died from AIDS, except for one who has “repented” of his promiscuous lifestyle and has now gone to the other extreme, celibacy! The only lesbian friend I have is SO messed up, I can’t even begin to tell you, and her kids are screwed up too. I assume your experience has been different. Whatever. I’d rather believe in what the Bible says than in some person’s opinion.

No words… will “change” your mind. You leave no room for ????
all I can think of… is lighting a candle… in your honor.
Thank you, Patrick. I will pray for you, as well. Did you know there are gay Christians who believe gay sex is wrong? Check out Christopher Yuan, among others.
Patrick: Well said. I am wondering those who condemn gays and their way of life; if they ever think of the millions and millions of straight people who commit adultery, cheat, murder, rape, kidnap, induge in incest, and many other colossal wrongs. They are ready to point fingers at people who prefer people of their own gender to love and cherish; and do no one harm. But, while doing that, they will not point a single of the tons of wrongs that straights indulge in day in and day out.
I saddens me to see America stumble right back into the middle ages … the bible may frown upon homoerotic encounters but then again, the catholic churc frowns upon any kind of sexual pleasure, may it be homosexual, heterosexual. I am sorry, but I can’t see anything immoral in the erotic pleasures our body is designed to give and receive…
Can’t you enjoy the somewhat guilty pleasure of a tastefully staged sex-scene (or rather making-out-scene)? If you don’t take pleasure in watching these kind of love scenes on TV you shouldn’t watch soaps at all …
This looks so hot!!! I can’t wait to watch this episode, I will definitely watch this one! Man those guys are so hot together! And seeing Will’s chest, wow! Beautiful. Glad Days finally got around to them having sex!
I agree!
From the Clip it looks like the NUKE vs. the KISH scene. what they show next will determine, we they be shown in Bed together? Will it be more the once? The Best part is they have had multiple kissing scenes. Also How will Sonny will feel when he finds out about Gabi?
Go, Guys, Go! 😀
Hot, hot, hot!!
What chemistry they have! Looking forward to this storyline playing out. Love Sonny and Will together!
Hmmm… Who’s doing who?
Looks like Will is doing Sonny from how things ended!
WilSon forever! What a beautiful scene!
Noah sucked.
Reid sucked.
Luke, Noah, and Reid were all nice and likeable characters; and the actors; VH, JS, and ESS did a fine job portraying the characters. The ones who really sucked were CG, JP, and TPTB that destroyed both NUKE and LURE SLs in the worst possible manner and in the end left almost every NUKE/LURE fan unhappy and cheated of their faithful following of the SLs. I loved all the three characters but did not all like the way they were written at the end of the show; especially the stupid writers reduced Noah to a no show in the last six months. And in the end they went one step further in their stupidity; killing off Reid and leaving Luke, perhaps the most loved character on the show, sad and alone. Luke, Noah, and Reid were the only characters with unhappy endings. Stupid JP even went on to say it was arbitrary and coincidental that all the 3 gay characters of the show ended the way they ended. I am wondering if they were drawing names from a hat to see who would get unhappy endings; that’s the only way JP’s remark would make any sense. Even if that was the case, it has to be the coincidence of the century that the 3 names picked randomly from the hat to have unhappy endings had to be the 3 gay characters of the show.
@RLeternal You are so correct. Everyone has their faves when it comes to pairing up couples but what Atwt did was unforgiveable. It was never a triangle as Noah was basically never on much of the last several months of the show. And the way his character was written was cruel and opaque. He deserved better as did the fans who had supported that show only to be treated so disrespectfully. I already see a lot of hate being thrown at Will and Sonny and I can only hope for their fans that Days doesn’t cower like OLTL did with Kish. We’ll see.
Boy you can say that again. That is why he wasn’t onscreen that much. He was easy to forget.
Natural Progression…. and, well done…
add in – Kristen/John/Marlena
Eric Brady….
Stefano….
Chloe…
Days can only get better….
isn’t it FUN to see much more of Kayla… she just lights up my tv… thank God… we have kayla w/Bo… and of course, mom caroline. to close out the chapter of Peter Reckell.
LOL… you have to laugh about Dr. Marlena…. losing it…. ie: in the park with her picnic basket… waiting for John….
she accused Kristen of “stealing” her keys and cell phone… the uptight couple…. are on target already…. John’s libido was triggered….
Loved that scene of Marlena in the park. DOOL is getting good!
MBmomof3
I Agree! thank you for saying DOOL is getting good… since Kristen started… the pacing… what with mystery with Jennifer… and sadly, Nicole’s misscarriage.. and I love her! doesn’t it seem like Jenn is back to her ole’ self? Finally! whe’re seeing glimpse’s of the Jenn of old, it’s like the sparkle is back in her eyes… and i couldn’t be happier… her daughter Abby needs a good back up.. these two can act.
Mom Caroline.. has me in tears… so familial… the bradys… and you have to wonder, what about Bo? Geez! whats to say… he’s a staple.. and he did it all… and we’re seeing more sensitivity in Bo’s demeanor.. how heartfelt is that.
if you watched DAYS back when kristen originally started. Eileen Davidson adds so much oomph and presence… can you see how EJ and Sammi are smiling. can’t wait to see kristen with daddy stefano. plus the big plus of seeing john and marlena front burner’ing… big time trio. it’s about time.
i’d like to see Kristen… mix it up with Justin…. wouldn’t it be a hoot to see Adrienne… pulling out all the stops… what do you think of that possibility? course i say this cause i love justin and adrienne.
ANYWAY… It’s about time… i felt this good about DAYS.
Cheers to Will and Sonny…. it’s simply about time. Thank you Days of our Lives and SONY… for being real.
They really are great together. Very playful and affectionate. CM and FS are doing terrific work. Kudos to both of them and to DOOL for not caving in to the backward, mean-spirited bigots. I’m looking forward to watching WilSon’s s/l continue.
Very nice. Well done. I think Will and Sonny are adorable, and they are an adorable couple. Kudos for Days (and of course Chandler and Freddie) for doing this. Actually, aside from the fact that I respect that Days is portraying a gay couple (finally and about time) – Will and Sonny are refreshing characters, and their relationship is refreshing. The rest of Days characters have been so ‘damaged’ sometimes it is hard to watch, and the storylines are the same recycled over and over again that it gets tiring and boring to watch, so Will and Sonny are a breath of fresh air.
Anyone who thinks Jake Silbermann is a good actor is the one who does not know anything. He was embarrassing to watch onscreen and I used to feel so sorry for Van Hansis having to carry every scene he was in with him. If he is getting rave reviews (which I find hard to believe, his fans were always delusional when it came to him) he must have been through a ton of acting classes.
I couldn’t agree more. But isn’t the point here ATWT being the ultimate with Van Hansis leading the way in a gay storyline, no matter who he was with? The storyline is dead and gone. There were no such human beings as Noah and Reid. Get on with it! Van has asked numerous times for fans to let it be! The actors are all over it! It’s my opinion that Van carried Jake but that ship has sailed too. I have seen some of Sonny & Will’s scenes and they are pastic and stiff and unrealistic even if they have let them lay down on a bed. For that, DOOL gets credit but there’s no heat between the two in those scenes. Van knew how to kiss and his co-actors couldn’t help but follow. But who NOW, two years later, gives a hoot about Noah and Reid? They never existed! As with Sonny & Will, it’s fiction! Don’t take it to heart! It only is what it is!
Are there gay racist? Yeah I’ve met a bunch, hypocrits the whole lot of ya.
Oh, yeah, there are a bunch here. They want to point out everything that gays do and don’t do; and then they want to label it as totally wrong. But, the hypocrites that they are, will not find anything disturbing or wrong about the tons of wrongs done in society by the straight people.
This is disgusting!! I’ll make sure to NOT watch Days this day!!
i agree with u deb this sick
Homophobe. It’s people like you that keep this country disgusting and gross.
Homophobe.
It doesn’t bother me any,I liked it.
Cut this mess out I will not watch this any more this is nasty
You’re nasty.
Sonny and Will are the best couple I have seen on daytime TV since Edge of NIght’s Adam and Nicole. Yes- I’m that old !! I hope Days keeps this up and congratualtions to Chandler and Freddie for such tremendous performances. They both -jointly deserve Emmys next year.
Sonny and Will on Days of Our Lives are the best couple I’ve seen since Adam and Nicole on Edge of Night. Having this gay couple on daytime TV is wonderful !!
I hope these guys are still together. I only watch days cos of them.
I Reaally loved it they belong togather we need more love scene and real shower scene
