Gay Storyline on Days of our Lives

In case anyone in the LGBT forum is interested, there is a big step forward in the coming out story of Will (Marlena's grandson) on the Thursday, February 23 episode of the daytime soap opera, Days of our Lives on NBC.

Hosts/mods - Please let me know if this post would should be moved to the TV forum despite its LGBT focus.

even as it is going very slowly (that whole show goes very slowly). The guy who plays Will is very good and so are the actresses who play Marlena and Sami who have been interacting with him.

I had my partner come in and watch a scene with Will and Sonny and then Will and Marlena to see what a terrific actor this kid (Chandler Massey) is. There are sites on YouTube that just show the gay storyline if you don't have the time or inclination to watch the whole soap.

There is also a soap (GTST) from the Netherlands that has a great gay storyline and there are sites that post it with English subtitles.

It seemed to be pandering to some stereotypes, particularly "older man seduces twink" but they're doing a not bad job of it.

though, that said, it is a soap story old as soaps for a young person to be seduced by an older, more powerful person. Part of me wouldn't mind seeing an EJ / Will relationship as their chemistry is pretty good.

It doesn't need to be moved to the TV group at all!
