The story could have had Marlena and Kate urging Will to help Sonny out to be there for him and Will not taking their advice....him staying away.....avoiding Sonny at all costs...then Sonny wises up and moves.on..and there is still drama there for more story...nope we get sleep with someone 101...not soapy at all.....Its lazy predictable writing.

So basically, no soap opera should ever tell a "soapy" story again as its been done. No stories involving secrets being exposed, whos the daddy, murder mysteries, love traingles, etc, etc, etc... Those are all no longer soap opera stories as they have been told?

thats ONLY story for will/sonny, this provides stories for many more characters. why tell a story about a few when you can tell one about a lot?

I simply don't like it because, they wouldn't do the same with a straight character. Jack Peyton, you say they are treating him like any other character, and I disagree. They are taking the easy way out, to simply have him do anything out of him being gay.

They wouldn't have Melanie jumping in bed with Gabi, or Nicole jumping in bed with Sami, or Abe jumping in bed with Bo. There are soo many storylines they can do with a gay character that is just as soapy, but nope, let's just have a gay man get with a woman after coming out. Why didn't they just make him bisexual (which I'm sure will be coming down the line for him).

Here you have this gay character that has spent months dealing with his sexuality. And we have watched him come to terms with it, we have watched him have feelings for another guy, and we have watched EVERY person he has told be supportive and accepting. Not to mention we had an amazing reconciliation scene with his mother.

Now we revert back to week one, with the whole "mommy doesn't love me" excuse...when we have watched for weeks, her being there for him at every turn. And yes Daddy and Mommy issues are a staple in soaps, but linking it to his sexuality is just idiotic.

And again this week we had Will love Sami again .....and now he is going back to my mom didnt give me love all over again.....Im sure the whole Will sleeping with Gabi will bomb in the ratings just like it did on ATWT and OLTL. Some are saying Gabi will come out pregnant...ugh...if that happens I am done with Days.

No they wont do that, but maybe years from now they would do something like that. I know of situations like that happening, and its sad that tv just acts like it doesnt. Tho, some shows have tried with female/female, tho one is usually a lesbian.

I agree, watching Will's journey has been great and they have played almost every beat very well. I am not sure however why that means that he cant have sex with Gabi after being scared seeing what happens to Sonny. Will is out to a lot of people, but he isnt out like sonny. He isnt out to the world at this point, from what I can tell. I think that a lot of teenagers in wills situation, recently dealing with their sexuality, would be scared of what happens to Sonny. Gay men, teenagers and recently out incldued, so in fact end up in bed with women. It isnt some far reaching, never going to happen thing. I think the choice of making him go there with gabi is great on a soap opera storytelling level. It provides a lot of stuff and options for a lot of the canvas to play.I really hope Gabi is prego, or even fakes it.

I also dont see this at all going back to day 1 with sami not loving him. thats not what this is about, not at all. even if it is,

I don't understand why Will even needs a child. When he gets the kid back from Gabi, or whatever, he will just palm it off on Caroline or Kayla, and never mention the kid again. There's no real story in this other than a few months of screaming and crying.

ok.. let me rephrase...

i dont think the REAL reason has anything to do with Sami. I think it is very topical and easy for Will to blame her without dealing things and Marlena will see through this and call him out on his bullshit.

Girl, no.

I loved that story!

The story basically amounted to being gay means you're self-loathing and a serial killer (and didn't they have Nora worry about AIDS, even though no straight characters had discussed diseases or safe sex in years), or a complete dupe who is happy to have an affair with a married politician.

I think what is actually happening is the show is going to great pains to not show Will in any sort of gay context. Has he even shaken a guy's hand since he came out? Now he is sleeping with women? It's soapy? How convenient that the brand of soap DOOL is selling is all hetero soap. That's the problem.

They went to events, they held seminars, this was a triumph to help gay kids see a role model on TV, they felt honored to have a role in it blah blah blah....and sure enough they chicken out.

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
