I would not be surprised if Will and Sonny fall into the "no longer needed" category now that the basic ‘coming out’ story line is almost complete. The general audience seemed thrilled with the emotional impact of Will’s life and how he handled it, and certainly some brilliant scenes with his grandmom, Marlena, so perhaps this was the real purpose for the story line to begin with, and not the fall-out from it. Now that Will finally accepts who he is, maybe the writers will no longer feel the need to bring the relationship to a full-blown, on-screen gay love story and that will be a way for them to cut Will and Sonny from the cast. I would hope not, but I can see it happening.
