I agree with the skepticism. Because these stories are a rarity in daytime, the standards are high and anything short of perfection is unacceptable to many. I am optimistic about this. I just remember Days when they had Harold and having to watch him in scenes with Jack who was pretending to be gay was beyond ridiculous. If they begin to write Wilson as horribly insulting as THAT debacle, they will lose me completely.

I remember Harold...lol

I'll be watching too but if it doesn't seem like its going anywhere...it's bye bye Days.

I'm mostly interested in those shiny trousers Smith is wearing. I can't tell if they're revealing anything or just oddly rumpled.

Hahaha..I hadnt even noticed that.

I doubt he is that big.

I noticed that right away, but was waiting for someone else's mind to go into the gutter first.

I noticed Carl's mind goes to the gutter a lot.

"Wilson" ? Hmmm, that's an interesting choice. Better than "Silly" I see people using.

Shockingly, so far I haven't seen any of that. I don't think they have a fanboard or anything. I seen a bunch of comments from Chill fans who are angry about Will & Sonny, and a bunch of people looking forward to the story but cautious about it, but no "hardcore" fans yet. I think a lot of people are skeptical to invest given how the other gay couples ended.

See I'm not too shocked that "Silly" have no impending fanbase at the moment. As you say, there are the Chill fans (like myself) who are going to have to warm up to just the idea of "Silly" first (and so far, we have not done so), then there are those skeptical about investing in them because of past gay stories. There are even some who just hate that they're making Will gay because they actually like him with Gabi. So there's a lot that may work against "Silly." They may get a fanbase, but I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they didn't because CHILL rules, even if they never happen!

Really, they can acknowledge the Chad/Will stuff on the way to whatever is going to happen with Will and tennis guy from 90210. My DAYS viewing has been spotty at best over the last few months, probably like 5 or 6 episodes a month, but I don't think it would be too ridiculous to establish that Will was attracted to Chad at some point.

If they go the "bisexuals don't exist" route, I'm gonna be pissed. Perfect opportunity to be truly groundbreaking -- not daytime's safe version of "groundbreaking."

Im going be optimistic

I agree. At the very least, I would have it be established that Will was attracted to Chad as well, because from looks WIll constantly gave Chad, he obviously was.

Yeah, I've thought before news of this story was leaked that if DAYS ever did CHILL, they should make Chad bisexual (or just not label him at all). I still think that now.

Chill is going to be Nuke 2.0 if it happens.

I have a feeling Chad will be Luke's Kevin to Will.

DAYS should do what Emmerdale did with Aaron and Adam - Aaron made a pass at Adam, Adam was shocked and didn't respond, but ultimately Adam wanted to help Aaron and they remained good friends.

I have a feeling Chad will be Luke's Kevin to Will.

Just as long as there's no TRAIN coming through Salem, then I don't care what else they do with the storyline. Keep trains away from daytime soaps with gay characters on them.

Or as long as there isn't some big gay wedding where Marlena pretends to be a lesbian to win an election, only for Will and Sonny to be fired months later and get the blame.

Man, we still have bitter feelings over how US based soaps write for fictional gay characters.

Yes we do. Any wonder soaps are dead. No one pays attention to what the audience wants.
