Looks like EJ is still desperate to hide ickysex and in doing so proving yet again how he doesn't give a shit about Sami or her family: He's sure no poster boy for GLAAD. Will Horton, the Days of our Lives teenager played by Chandler Massey, is gay and deeply, desperately in denial about it. And his coming-out story won't take the politically safe route. Days currently has another young gay character - Will's friend Sonny, played by former 90210 star Freddie Smith - who is out and proud and inspiringly comfortable in his own skin. But Will's saga will be packed with guilt, rage, violence, drinking and blackmail - and that's weeks before the kid even has his first gay kiss.
"Our writers certainly have balls," says the 21 year old Massey. "I was shocked to read some of the scripts. Other shows might be afraid to go this direction with a story that's this potentially sensitive, but I think what we're doing is so much richer and more dramatic because of it."
Massey adds that he "loves the way they're writing Sonny, so there's some real balance here. He's the polar opposite of my character - completely confident in his sexuality and totally together. But Will finds that threatening and it makes him loathe himself even more. He is really acting out."
Ya think? This month, Will goes ballistic and trashes his Aunt Maggie's kitchen after being dumped by his girlfriend, who can't understand why he doesn't want sex. He later gets drunk at a family Christmas gathering where he openly lashes out at his mom, Sami. Come January, the soap's archvillain, EJ, will try to use Will's secret to his advantage. "Will wants to leave Salem, so he tries to blackmail EJ into giving him money," says Massey. "But EJ turns the tables on Will and threatens to reveal he's gay. It turns into this master-slave relationship."
Will's only safe harbor is his grandmother Marlena. "They have an awesome relationship," Massey says. "She's pretty sure Will is gay and tries to be there for him. She's a smart lady, and a shrink, but even she can't get him to come out."daytimeroyaltyonline.com/topic/8611807/1/

Oh, I'm glad that EJ finds out that somone saw his one night smex with Sami. This is getting interesting. If he didn't love Nicole, he would just openly let her find out. Remember how cocky EJ was to tell Nicole he spent the night with Taylor and he wanted a divorce while Ejole were still married? Wow, have things changed.

Boy, this day just keeps getting better and better!
Aside from Ejole, I am REALLY looking forward to Will's upcoming storyline. I think this story is really going to showcase CM's talent as an actor. I always thought that Will was boring, but now I find myself watching almost every scene that he is in.

Oh, I'm glad that EJ finds out that somone saw his one night smex with Sami. Well, Sami finds out before too much longer, I think. They kind of have to have them realizing that their secret isn't safe--I think it's this Thursday that Sami starts asking if he's sure nobody saw them, then Will loses it before too much longer. I don't know if that's before or after he gets drunk and attacks Sami (sigh, only verbally) at Christmas, but if Will goes to blackmail EJ the question is, how is he prepared to fight back with the knowledge about Will being gay? How does he find out? Does he find out beforehand? Would be kind of funny if Sami told him all in a panic that Will knows and EJ goes digging for dirt on Will--again, that Eshami love really is for the ages, isn't it? And I really have to wonder what this master-slave comment means. I assume Will will be doing EJ's bidding (remember when EJ used to pay Shawn Duh $500 a pop to deliver random documents for him?) but I don't know why they don't just call it a draw. Also, I didn't post the picture, but the picture with the article has a caption that says that Sonny sees Will kissing a guy in late February during a drinking game. I wonder if that's the first Sonny knows about Will's orientation.

LOL @ EJ being the evil fall guy yet again. Add on top of having John be in jail for something that EJ set up, now tormenting SamWHORE's son.
Poor Will...

Here's the controversial thing about this story that really is controversial and not talked about... but 2 out of the 3 people I ever met who at one time were 'gay' was 'gay' for the attention. The one coming out that was legit was so obvious from the get go that it wasn't a shock, and he still owes me cute skirt that used to fit me. But two of the people I knew that went this route turned around and reverted making me assume that it was an attention seeking thing more than a coming out.
Now as an adult I've known plenty of gay and lesbian women and IDK on that. I'm talking teen and college.
Either way I'm excited with Will's storyline because it is controversial and not cookie cutter. Sami's never been much of a parent and her offspring would and should act out. Will's been her parent figure when he was six when it was his turn to be the child. Sami deserves to suffer for her parenting.

LOL, Pax. this quote cracked me up: "again, that Eshami love really is for the ages, isn't it?"
I mean, really, it's the worst love story to ever hit tv ever. Rape, manipulations, one-sided love, baby-napping, faking baby death, Rafe-napping and brainwashing, hiring madman to sexually assault the woman you once cared for, playing tug of war with children, deadbabysex, and now blackmailing and bullying Will. LMAO. God, I want a love like that.

I'm really looking forward to this SL with CM and him playing Will and him coming out as a gay man, but did we really need EJ blackmailing him about his sexuality? EJ already is up to his neck with deceit between setting up John and the smex, now he's going to blackmail Will? (OY when is he going to have time to run for Mayor?) I love EJ and I'm all for breaking all connections between him and Sami, just not sure how I feel about this blackmailing Will thing?!? Guess I'll just have to wait and see how it plays out!
Oh and ICAM with Ash...this story needs Lucas so bad!!! He needs to come home and be there for Will.

Well, should EJ hold Will's sexuality over his head? Of course not. But Will should have known better than to try to blackmail a Dimera? He knows first-hand what EJ is capable of. Trying to blackmail a Dimera is like trying to cut a steak with a butter knife. Valient effort but poor results.

Yes I completely agree with that...Will should have known better than to mess with the Dimeras, that NEVER ends well!!! EJ is who he is, so in all reality this doesn't shock me, just not completely at ease with the idea. He did tell Samsquatch today that he would do ANYTHING to protect Nicole from finding out and he is going to go the distance!!! Definitely going to be interesting to see what happens!

LOL!! That's true Liz!! If I didn't love CM's Will so much I would say that EJ should give him the money and help him leave town so he would never have to be near Samsquatch again!

If Nicole is pregnant when Will tries to blackmail him. Will is lucky he doesnt get a bullet to the head or a trip to the Dimera dungeon.
