Sami, you’re such a cunt! All the shit you pulled over the years and you’re having a problem with your son liking dick. And look at Lucas actually sounding like a level-headed cool guy. Usually he’s a giant dildo! Ok, you’re all reading this and you’re totally WTFing (or snoring).
Will Horton is the adorable blond guy on Days Of Our Lives, played by actor Chandler Massey. He’s been the focus of one of the better coming out stories on television. Sure, coming out is sort of a run-of-the-mill storyline for scripted entertainment in 2012. But this is soap opera. It’s still being watched by people who think they don’t know any gay people around them or in their families. So shit like this still matters. Plus, the kid’s cute.
Check out Will Horton coming out to his parents after the break. Also check out the British dude who plays EJ. Dude is SMOKIN’. See?

I think the writers have done a very good job. Gay man here and it’s a true reflection of society atm hey…Haven’t seen Day’s for years but totally know all the characters somehow still…lol…
This is a repeat of Luke from ATWT. Lily (his mother) thought Luke was confused and thought he was upset about Jade (his beard and cousin, yeah it’s weird it’s a soap opera). Luke’s father Holden was also the one okay with Luke’s homosexuality when he came out.
Holden was Luke’s stepfather. His real father, Damian, kidnapped him and tried to have him deprogrammed from being gay.
My mother is Sami? Same reaction. Except she didn’t run into a hot British guy when she left. And my dad was Lucas-ish. Except he said it’s a choice. Well done DOOL, well done.
I didn’t watch the whole thing, but from what I saw it was actually pretty good other than the kid smiling every so often seemed somewhat disingenuous.
Did anyone ever watch Bianca’s coming out on All My Children?
I’m so bias, however that was the best soap opera coming out.
Was it the first? I know it was the first gay kiss in daytime.
Now I remember why I haven’t watched soaps in nearly a decade. The same characters,the same story lines,what’s next a switched baby story line? An affair? An I stole all your money,now you’re broke story? This is like the 5th or 8th gay teen story line in the last few years. And Lucas telling his son to give Sammi a break,laughable,I know in soap opera world,everything is ok,no matter what you’ve done. Hopefully these last few soaps will be cancelled soon.
Soaps are an entertainment staple in this country. They are great ways to expose the average American to social issues and open their eyes to things beyond their daily life, especially women who are the emotional and moral compasses in many homes. I remember while growing up my mother watched As the World Turns when she got off work each day and she would mention things that were being written into the plot lines and we would have our dinner conversation touch on this. Might sound silly but they are one of the best vehicles to help LGBT issues make it to mainstream.
Ya know why dont you let people have their fantacies. You really shouldnt spew you opinios as if someone would really pay attention. Go back in your hole and shut the hell up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you’re kidding me right???? what a dumb ass. it’s people like you that justifies stories like this to help people come together and understand why the feel the way they do. elementary i know but well played “days”. hopefully people that have closed their minds can have a little encouragement to open back up to just caring about one another. so sad for you Briban48.
I’ve been following the show, mainly because of Will and right in the middle of the dialogue between Will and his father, the damn emergency broadcast test went off and I missed some of the conversation. I’m was shouting out loud. I hope the neighbors didn’t hear me…lol.
Difference though is that ATWT totally f*cked up the Luke and Noah story with horrible writing until the demise of the series not too long ago. I sure hope DOOL can keep up the comparatively good writing surrounding Will…
Will’s smiling (this sort of cough-laugh thing he does) does come across a bit odd, but for those of us following his character, Will has consistently done this nervous smile-choke-cough/laugh thing when he is nervous or choking back tears….
I’ve known ever since he was always mysteriously away at soccer camp! I was so proud of him when this happened. What you neglected to do, J. Harvey, is post pics of his “not” love interest, Sonny Kiriakis: http://www.afterelton.com/sites/www.afterelton.com/files/field/image/los29img11.jpg

cool scene, but the kid is actually the worst actor i’ve ever seen.
If you wanna get into it Holden pretty much raised Luke his whole life so he’s more of a father than Damian ever was. I miss ATWT 🙁
