That's how a lot of straight men kiss each other when they play gay characters. 

 

Guy Wilson tried much harder in kissing scenes and didn't spend all these moments looking like he wanted to vomit - why do I have a feeling those same fans are the ones who relentlessly trashed him and were thrilled when he was fired?

 

If you want your jerkoff fantasy, sometimes you have to have tradeoffs. In Massey's case, this is one of them.

I have no idea. 

 

There are actors, if they try and they want to, and if the project is important enough to them. On SNL, for example, Bill Hader kissed about 10 different men with the usual awkward closed mouth. When he was cast in an arthouse movie, where that would be jeered off the screen, suddenly he was kissing another man very tenderly and lovingly. 

 

Nobody at DAYS gives a damn, so this is what we get.

The only passionate gay love scene I can recall on DAYS was the very first time Paul and Will (Guy Wilson) hooked up. Paul was closeted and all horned up while  Will was finally putting his hands on a firm body that wasn’t made of silly putty. 

 

Knowing DAYS, they’ll rehire Guy Wilson as one of Justin and Adrienne’s other sons and Will and Will can do each other. Never Been Done Before!

Sad but true...

I'm very naive when it comes to all of this, but I never felt like there was anything wrong with straight men  finding other guys attractive to the point if they are acting , they would be able to pull off love scenes....same goes for women

First..I went back to look at kisses between Chandler and Christopher on Days and it's on the lips. It must be a Freddie Smith thing then.

 

And it looks like YouTube yanked the steamy Will and Paul romp scenes. Thus is the best that I could find after the editing they did.

Perhaps because of the situation at the time... Will was this inexperienced insecure newbie gay fresh from the closet looking for a guiding hand to show him the ropes, and Sonny had supposedly traveled the world and had previous experiences. When it was originally presented, Sonny was portrayed as being a few years older than Will. 

 

Will would've been better suited with a daddy type, like EJ

  Now THAT is the Never Been Done Before story DAYS could've explored. A bi love triangle with the bi guy (EJ) being fought over by mother and son.  Now that's some trashy soap craziness that Carlivati might've done had he been writer at the time.

Could be, but usually over time people become better actors, develop stronger chemistry with their scene partners. It seems to be going the opposite way for Chandler and Freddie.

 

A Sami/EJ/Will triangle would have been, not only groundbreaking but great to see, but I would rather have wanted to see it as a more serious, dramatic story rather than a campy, trashy one. All it would have taken was the right writer.

Oh, I would have been there just for Sami catching EJ and Will in bed together.  But, I probably would've wanted Will to shoot and possibly kill EJ over something or other, and have Sami take the rap for her son.

      I LOVED HER TOO! She was crazy but great on Desperate Housewives! And that "The Powers That Be" show in which she was John Forsythe's daughter as well! Many people she would've done a great Maris on Frasier too

      Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.

      She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.

      Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).

      That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.

      As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
