Will has always been a loser. The only difference is Chandler Massey had a dumb grin and a generic Ken Doll face. He also seemed to resent being paired with Sonny and tanked almost all their scenes.

I'm not sure if the Kristen stuff is the best example, as gay sex isn't the same as a rape (which was also done in a tawdry, shock value way).

I wouldn't want to see gay characters whoring it up at random just for a feint at equality. The show can't write this well with straight characters (look at what JJ/Eve could be and what they are), so they can't with gay characters either.

I don't get why some feel that IF Sonny sleeps with Paul he is still committed to his marriage but Will needs to win him back. HOWEVER IF Will sleeps with Paul then Will is not committed to the marriage & Sonny needs to divorce Will immediately. Seems like a huge double standard to me. I just don't get that logic. Any thoughts?Wilson fans i don't get why some feel that IF Sonny sleeps with Paul he is still committed to his marriage but Will needs to win him back.

because Will has already 'checked out' so to speak and consistently been shown as not being as invested in 'Wilson' as Sonny, and sleeping w/ another guy would be 'confirmation' for most peeps. While Sonny has consistently been shown as 'fighting' for Will, and sleeping w/ another guy could be seen as Sonny blowing of steam/being fed up w/ Will BS.

but most of all, peeps just aren't here for Guy Wilson's Will. LOL

Guy and Freddie seemed very comfortable when Guy first started but the very little chemistry they had has vanished. And I DO think they had a little bit in the very beginning.

As far as Chandler, it DOES matter if he checked out. BYE. But seriously, he and Freddie didn't have this amazing chemistry. I didn't see it that way. They had a natural ease between them and there was SOME heat but it felt more like they were best friends who fucked. IMO.

I don't think Guy Wilson is as awful as everyone makes him out to be. He's not great but it bothers me that because he's average looking that many just have a problem with that. Not everyone is going to be a six pack model or even out and out 'hot'. Soaps used to cast people like Wilson. And to be honest, they haven't given him a lot to work with.

    • And while I'm doing catch-up, it's good to see you did as well. And YES. This is how May Sweeps SHOULD be. A story climaxing. Another A story being built up as we did with the aftermath of the first A story climaxing. B plots being built up...actually moving and being interested in most of them...if not all. hehe. New story being started. And even the C plots are moving, too. 
    • It definitely did. Nothing major, but I clocked the minor changes too. Passions did something similar with its theme in the later years and people thought I was crazy, but the nuances are there if you're paying attention. 
    • What? A nice little mini-marathon of catching up before work.    YES, PLEASE. 
    • I guess they copied literally everything from that C&R scene, the dialogue etc 
    • And even then...you have to wait a couple of weeks to be sure he's actually dead.

    • Apparently. lol.  Well you know I don't mind standing also with the cheese so  
    • I have nothing to add. Everything you said is on point, and I don't know whether to laugh hysterically at it or throw things at the television. I do know it's terrible soap opera.  
    • Characterization: - I realized I have PTSD from Ted #1’s constant swaying. The moment I saw NuTed, I actually caught myself thinking, “Why isn’t he rocking?” - Leslie makes very little sense from a storytelling perspective unless she’s completely psychotic. What was she hoping to achieve with all her dramatic reveals and aliases? Also… who wouldn’t put two and two together after Laura’s accident? - Anita and Dani come across as mean-spirited, and honestly, the Duprees should just be portrayed as full-on villains. Been saying this since day one—remember when Dani punched Haley and the whole Dupree clan just walked away from her with that “shame on you” look? Wrong on so many levels. Glad others are finally seeing it too. - Mona is sanctimonious and I can’t stand her. She’s the worst kind of person: lower-to-middle class but constantly making excuses for the rich. - Call me crazy, but I’m actually enjoying Ashley and Derek’s storyline. I’ll take this neurotic OCD queen over the sanctimonious, multi-talented nurse any day. Plus, soap couples are usually so plastic. They deal with insane drama but never go to the bathroom, never plan a weekend away. Look at Kat and Tomas—every scene is just them planning lunch or dinner…! - Btw by now André seems bored af by Ashley.   WTF Moments: - No young woman would be even remotely interested in going to a casino (looking at Eva). And it’s wild how the show is treating gambling like it’s some kind of therapeutic hobby—like retail therapy or something. - What are they doing with Smitty’s eyebrows… and more importantly, why?   Parallels with Other Soaps: - I like Nicole, but she reinforces my belief that soaps should never include psychiatrists. If they’re portrayed accurately, they ruin the fun by rationalizing everyone’s childish and selfish behavior. If they’re portrayed inaccurately (hi Taylor from B&B), it’s equally bad. - Anita’s story is giving major SSM vibes from 2017‘s Y&R, when Victor got Nikki to start playing the piano again.  - Karla played a model on B&B too…

        Direction & Continuity: - Pascarelli is hands down the worst director this show has. - Wednesday’s episode started with a nighttime establishing shot of Orphey Gene’s… but all the scenes that followed were clearly set in daytime—until halfway through the episode, when it suddenly switched back to night. - The picture on the piano at the Duprees’ house shows two little girls and two little boys. Who are the boys? One could be Martin (or Tyrell?), but who’s the other kid? (And speaking of pictures… no one under 50 is walking around with a printed photo in their pocket. But I digress.) - I love catching the time on the phones when they pop up onscreen. Friday’s episode was supposedly set before lunch, but Vernon’s phone said 3:15 in one scene and 3:50 in the next. A few scenes later, Kat is playing Leslie’s audio for Jacob and her phone shows 10:40. Cool.
