http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/topic/8631467/1/ TCA Recap/NBC: Happy Brad Goreski, Chandler Massey's TV Parents and the A**hole on "Smash" While Days Of Our Lives star Chandler Massey wasn't present at the NBC party, his on-screen stepfather, Galen Gering, was and he couldn't be more happy with Will's coming out story and Massey’s work with it. The ever-sexy and charming Gering said, "I think it's great that the show is dealing obviously with an issue that people struggle with, coming out of the closet, dealing with your sexuality...[the story] not only entertains people but it also can help someone out who is struggling and going down that same road. So, it is entertainment and I think Chandler is doing a wonderful job." Gering also is hopeful the E! reality show Dirty Soap will get a second season and says the network should be making an announcement any day. Regular fans of Days will not be surprised when Alison Sweeney predicted Will's mother, Sami, will make it all about her and take the news poorly. "When they first approached the storyline and they told me about it I thought that I don't mind if [Sami is] wrong...she's flawed [and] that's why I have to say to myself 'I want my kid to have the easiest life possible. You fight hard to provide your child with every advantage and it's no question that it's a tough road to be gay and people do judge you for it and you wouldn't want your kid to have that and be judged that way. You want your kid to have everything...so I don't mind playing Sami's struggles. Sami is a narcissist, dare I say. When she finds out she'll think it's her fault." Sweeney agreed that it's helped that the story is not solely about Will's struggle coming out but the fact that he caught Sami sleeping with her ex-husband EJ (James Scott). “I like that that's what drove them apart...if it hadn't been for that maybe he would've told her right away. We'll never know. Maybe it would've been an easier road for him if she hadn't done that or he hadn't seen that...what if one moment in time were different?" http://www.afterelton.com/tv/2012/01/tca-recap-nbc-with-brad-joan-more So it looks like Sami might find out before Lucas gets back and it also looks like she's the one that reacts badly to the news. That makes me hopeful that Lucas's reaction to Will being gay will be different. |

I'm not so sure she finds out before he gets back, but Ali might know the direction her character is taking and already knows how Sami will react when she finds out. I am also hopeful because it appears like Lucas might not be the one that has issues with it. But you know, they can have both parents have problems with it too. I'm just hoping the story is told well. Will's story is one of the few that has potential because it involves so many things....Lucas' return being one of them and the fall out of the reveal that Will was EJ's shooter and not Lucas. |

I could see Lucas having a hard time with it too, blaming himself for leaving (which he shouldn't have left and the real Lucas would have never left!!) It sounds like the story will be great though! |

I can also see Lucas telling Will that he knew long before Will even did. It will be interesting to see which route the writers choose. |

Yes, this could go so many ways. They can both hate it, but Lucas would be the one to reason with Sami about what this would mean if they aren't more supportive. I would have preferred for both Lumi to be supportive and Rafe to not be so supportive given Will took his sister's virginity and ended up not wanting to be with her in the end. I guess we can still have a form of that, with Sami and Rafe being on the same, 'I don't accept Will' side while Lucas isn't. |

I'm hoping what Bryan said about Lucas being more composed has something to do with his reaction as well. Maybe he will surprise everyone and have a more open mind about it and like Norma said, he probably has known all along. That could help strengthen the father/son bond even more especially in light of the revelation that Lucas took the fall for Will for EJ's shooting. As for Rafe, I always assumed his reaction would be negative considering that Will dated Gabi. But since Will/Gabi was given the ax so soon and Gabi seems to have moved on entirely, I don't know what his reaction will be now nor do I really care. Something tells me he'll be too wrapped up in his attraction to Carrie to really be involved. |

Being concerned about your kid having a harder life because of the prejudice of others is not the same thing as rejecting him for who he is or not supporting him. I think that is a pretty natural and honest response from a parent. It's more the part about Sami making it all about her that I consider "negative", but it is her usual response to most things or at least initially. I'm sure she will come around in time but I don't think that is a surprising response from her to have when she first hears the news. I could see Lucas feeling the same way to a degree and it is essentially the same way Victor reacted to the news about Sonny. The difference is that I think Lucas will be able to recognize the other side of the news quicker and make it clear to Will that he is loved and accepted by his family and strong enough to face whatever challenges come his way. And that is in keeping with Lucas' character and the type of relationship he has always had with Will. And I agree that Lucas could already be expecting the announcement from Will. One other difference between Sami and Lucas that I think comes into play in this situation (assuming that both characters are written correctly) is that Sami has always reacted to things based on the ideal fantasy world she imagines in her head (such as her obsession with Marlena & Roman as the perfect couple and parents ignoring the reality that Marlena has been in love with John for decades and their numerous limitations as parents) and Lucas has always been more inclined to recognize people for who they truly are and love them anyway (the prime examples being Sami and Kate). |

Since this has some related info regarding Will's coming out story, I thought I'd post it in this thread. http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/topic/8631658/1/ As you know, Donovan has been keeping us up-to-date on all the homo happenings going on over at Days of our Lives. If you've missed out, let me give you a quick catch-up session. So far, the show has two gay characters. Sonny, played by Freddie Smith and Will played by Chandler Massey. Joining the cast for January 12's episode is Emmy-award winning, Jai Rodriguez. He will play the role of Matteo, an old friend of Sonny who together, present healthy gay role models for Will and help to make him comfortable in his own skin. In this episode, Will talks with Sonny's mom and dad, Justin & Adrienne, who say they love Sonny unconditionally and wouldn't change a thing about him, which affects Will. Will connects with Matteo over music, but catches himself and awkwardly leaves. Sonny tells Matteo that Will "just isn't there yet." Will's coming out process will take place in episodes airing in late Feb and March, and is a progression. Sonny acts more as a confidante and mentor to Will rather than a love interest for the time being, and is very supportive in both giving advice and also not pressuring him. http://www.homorazzi.com/article/jai-rodriguez-days-of-our-lives-january-12-episode-photo-matteo-will-sonny/ |

I really like the way they are telling his story ... making it not quite so abrupt, and having Sonny as a mentor rather than a sudden love interest. |

Sonny is a mentor for now but as soon as Will is comfortable in his own skin about being gay and coming out I see Sonny being Will's love interest in the near future he's not going to come onto to Will yet when Will is still trying to figure things out for himself but will try to make him feel comfortable with the fact that being gay is not a bad thing. So for now the show maybe taking their time with this before they go their with Will and Sonny and when Will is finally comfortable and is able to accept it and is ok with this and comfortable around guys and comfortable doing the things gay couples do then I see Sonny becoming Will's love interest in the future so their taking this slow but I still see them going there with Sonny being the long term serious relationship for Will. Sonny is waiting for Will to come around to be comfortable with the fact hes gay and when he does then I see Sonny and Will dating in the near future possible being the long term serious relationship and maybe more. Will likes Justin and Adrienne already and he wants his mom to be just like her to come to terms and accept the fact hes gay just like Adrienne does with Sonny.

I have a feeling I'm going to ship Sonny & Will. I adore Sonny, he's such a nice guy and the fact that they are not rushing with this pairing makes them all the more rootable IMO. Can't wait to watch this story play out! |

Sonny is one of those characters that you like as soon as you're introduced to him. I really enjoyed his most recent scenes with Will and can't wait to watch their relationship, no matter what it turns out to be, grow. Question though, if they do eventually get involved romantically, is their shipper name Wilson? |

Yes I think Wilson would be their shipper name. They're so cute! I also like that Sonny is Justin & Adrienne's son, and a Kiriakis. I like that history there to go along with Will being a Horton/Brady. So much potential for these two. I know I'll enjoy them no matter what. |
