After reading so many spoilers about Will being gay and not being gay, I think in the end he will not be gay. But, with Tad (T) growing more and more homophobic and having more run ins with Sonny and Will, I think he will turn out to be the gay character. I think TPTB have felt the pulse of their viewers and may have seen that most of us like Will and Gabi together and some viewers have issues with a gay storyline, especially if it includes Will. I think TPTB will see that if T is the one who is gay, more people may accept the storyline because they will be able to see how tough it is for even T to accept who he is. The struggle with that realization would have much more of an impact on the viewers than suddenly making Will gay at the same time he’s developing this wonderful relationship with Gabi.
I would much rather see T turn out to be gay than Will. They have now invested a lot of time in Will/Gabi’s relationship… for what? I feel like if they were going to have Will be gay, they would have made a big show of him avoiding sleeping with Gabi. The fact that he already has makes me think the writers have reconsidered this storyline.
It would be more true to life that a young gay man might have struggled internally with what he feels and is angry about it. The hate that T is expressing would be a reflection of the struggle. The best scene would be when Sonny realizes what is going on, he and T would have a heart-to-heart and T would accept emotional support (not a love-relationship) from Sonny. The fans would be happy and the story much more interesting than "Will-is-clumsy-with-girls-so-he-must-be-gay" stupid story line.
and hope that in the end this is the way the writers and the story goes. If TPTB have any sense, this is what will happen. I don’t have a problem with a gay storyline, as a matter of fact, if this is the route they choose, I think it will be excellent and very powerful for all viewers. Changing Will, who’s been in a long term relationship with Gabi, to a gay character won’t settle well with some viewers. T is a minor character that we’ve only seen in a friendly situation with Kinsey, although she did allude to something more having happened between them and she didn’t sound like she was impressed. With all of the anger that T has towards Sonny, I can see it as T’s way of struggling with his own sexuality. It is so much more believable to the viewers if T turns out to be the other gay character. Also, his way over the top reaction about the picture of him and Sonny seems like a major clue to me.
is that he’s feeling something for Sonny and is very jealous of Sonny’s friendships with the other males? It’s that love/hate thing going on!
Many, many gays try for a long time to lead a straight life. I have a friend who was married for 19 years and had two kids before he finally threw in the towel and told his wife he was gay, and he was well aware of it since he was quite young. The funny thing is that he now has a life partner yet he and his ex-wife are still very good friends.
I think it makes a lot of sense to make T gay. His complete homophobia could certainly be a tell-tale sign that he’s struggling with himself and his own sexuality. I hope the writers decide to go that way.
Aren’t the two gay characters supposed to become a couple eventually? Seeing Tad and Sonny ever become a couple is just wrong. Sonny might be able to forgive him eventually, but love him, I don’t think so, at least I hope not. If nothing else, it sends a bad message about abusive relationships. (Just because he finally accepts he’s gay does not mean his abusive behavior will end.)
Also, I thought Sonny was supposed to pair up with a more primary character. If he does pair up with Tad, then what’s the point of doing it in the first place, it’s just a sideshow.
I’m not really crazy about the idea changing Will back to being straight, they’ve built him up as someone just about ready to come out and now they’re scrapping all that. I don’t think that sends a good message, either. That’s not pro-gay, that’s having seen a family destroyed by man who was finally honest with himself after years of marriage and children.
If they’re going to wimp out at this point, I’d rather see them just shelf Sonny all together.
"changing Will back to being straight"? They have never even hinted at Will being gay. That has only been speculation from rumors read elsewhere. And it seems pretty much the concensus of the fans that we don’t want to see Will as gay. You seem to be the exception.
I didn’t care if Will was gay or not but his character is portrayed very gay. When the actors changed after a few weeks I thought, wow they are going to have a gay character on Days… I hadn’t even heard the speculation at that point.
Will has been portrayed more gay than Sonny is. Some fans may not be ready for a gay character, but clearly that’s what he was intended to be.
even though he’s not the choice for the fans. I’m reading that although he does love Gabi in his own way, he will pull further and further away when it comes to desiring her sexually, so I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. When it was decided that the mate for Sonny would be Will, even Corday admitted that it would be Sonny and a "well-known" character; even Chandler Massey said it would be Will, but the latest spoilers (spoilers not rumors) are still saying that Will will be pulling away from Gabi in the "lovers" department. So, my question would be why do this if they intend to keep them together. Maybe they’ll go the route of Will having mixed feelings about his own emotions. He’s always saying to Gabi, "I would never want to hurt you." What if he is suddenly having emotions within hisself that he clearly doesn’t understand, but realizes that he does not love Gabi in the same way that Gabi loves him, but more platonic. I’m still rooting for it NOT to be Will, though, because of the character’s history, but I’m still not certain that it’s NOT Will.
I agree about Will being portrayed as very gay. The more I see him on screen, the more he does seem gay, from his mannerisms to his acting. I think they should have him as a gay guy. I think he’s perfect to play it.
unsure of himself (coming from Sami as his mother – that is a stretch), but I’ve never seen anything (granted I’ve given up the show for the last four months), but think I’ve watched Will enough over the years as to never seen one indication that he is or was.
I wasn’t going on the old Will(s), I’m talking about the current actor, who seems to have quite a different portrayal of him.
All I can say is, if you’re a woman reading this and you meet a guy like (today’s) Will, make sure he’s really, honestly straight before you take the relationship very far…
"I’m not really crazy about the idea changing Will back to being straight, they’ve built him up as someone just about ready to come out and now they’re scrapping all that."
I don’t know where you got this idea, because Will has NEVER show signs of coming out!!! He had a relationship with Mia and then Gabby. Didn’t see anything to indicate he was gay. I don’t care about having a gay character on the show, just not Will. There is too much history with Will and I just don’t buy it.
If they are making Will gay, then I think it was wrong for Will and Gabi to become intimate. It is not fair to Gabi to begins this relationship that will go nowhere.
