I'm not sure what to think of the SC spoilers, because they are worded differently and make it sound as if Sonny may be falsely accusing Will.
Other spoilers I've read make it sound much more like it's a legitimate secret and Sonny just happens to figure it out.

Yeah, it's a little weird. I'm not quite sure what to make of it. Based on how they've been "communicating" lately, I would guess that Will will say something strange and Sonny will read too much into it. On the other hand, we know very little about what happened when Will was in LA with Sami and Sonny had feared something at that time. Depending on what is said next week, it's entirely possible Sonny won't believe Will no matter what he says. Hmm.

Especially because in this case I'm not sure how there would be any evidence either way that Will did or did not cheat. Well, unless his mother could vouch for him or something, but I don't think that would hold any weight with Sonny either. All Sonny's going to have to go on is Will's word and sadly, a terrible precedent has been set for Will almost never being honest with Sonny anymore. What reason would Sonny have to believe him now? I can say one thing for sure. Without doubt, the writers have very purposefully ripped Will and Sonny's relationship completely apart before Freddie's departure. If they had decided resolutely that they would not recast Sonny, I think that was the best way to go. It allows Will more freedom. Unlike Hope where she was just in limbo with Bo for however long, Will can move on as soon as he's ready.

SPOILER:Interview with Ken Corday (Days Executive Producer)
Ken Corday:"The Show I Was Looking At Was No Longer 'Days of Our Lives' To Me"
The new issue of Soap Opera Digest features an interesting interview with Days Of Our Lives executive producer Ken Corday,who explains why the show made behind the scenes changes,and teased what's coming up.
When asked why Days switched head writers in February,Corday explains it was "because the show I was looking at was no longer recognizable as Days of our Lives to me."
"With all due respect to the writers who are no longer there,and who did win us an Emmy award,and GLAAD awards and many other kudos,there comes a time when they're just burned out,and they were not getting it done.It was time to make a switch.I felt like the car was headed for the edge of the cliff."
Head Writers Gary Tomlin and Christopher Whitesell were replaced by Dena Higley and Josh Griffith.
Corday says the mood on set was not positive.
"More than anything,the atmosphere of negativity and complacency at the studio was overwhelming," he admits."In light of the fact that we were coming up on our most important production year ever,I felt like I had to grab the reins and pull back and change horses."
Days of Our Lives is renewed by NBC through September 2016.A leaked December 2013 email from Sony Pictures Television's Jeff Frost made the show's future seem in question.
"The big obstacle has been Ted Harbert who really wants to move to low cost info/talk shows instead of DOOL after next season,"Frost wrote."Despite this (and Harbert's objection),NBC will agree to two more years of DOOL at $775K next season and $750K the following season,provided we go up from our current proposal of $4.25m to settle the Community issue to $4.50m.How do you feel about $4.50m?Given Harbert's strong push for alternative programming after the next season,I think we're better off locking in 2 years of DOOL now and paying the additional $250k."
Corday says Days will not make a habit of bringing characters back from the dead going forward.
(SPOLIER ALERT)
"There comes a point where,as will be the case with Thaao Penghlis' return (as a presumed-dead Andre),you have to bend the rules,"he reveals,when asked about the possible return of Matthew Ashford as Jack Deveraux."That's not to say Matt won't come back some day,but you have to watch it with the audience that they don't say,'Oh,our trust is ruined,Ken.You keep killing people and they keep returning.What are we supposed to believe?'So in this case,from September 1 on,when someone dies,they are dead."
Corday is looking forward to the show's 50th anniversary in November.
"I wanted to see Doug and Julie active.I wanted to see Victor,Maggie,Caroline and Stefano active again,running things,doing things,not just in the background,"he says.
"Storywise,it started with,what can we do that is a special event for the 50th?" Corday teases. "And I came up with the idea that it would be Salem's bicentennial celebration."
Corday believes the best is yet to come for Days.
"The show is going to be the best it's ever been and I defy anyone to prove me wrong."

I have a feeling that just what I was reading from Ken I bet Guy and Christopher are about to be downgraded to recurring contracts.

Okay, so. Here is where I think they're going.
Sonny is going to tell Will tomorrow that he rushed Will into marriage, and he wants to let Will go. At least for a while. (Realistically, with what Will accused Sonny of earlier this week, and his apparent ease of getting laid, I would think he'd be okay with that, but I digress...)
Will, being stubborn and not wanting Sonny to be right, refuses. He goes and screams at Paul for ever putting the idea in Sonny's head, thinking Paul was just trying to get Will to leave Sonny so Paul could have him.
They'll scream at each other, and there will be sexual tension because I thoroughly believe they are going to run Sonny out of town because Will and Paul hook up again down the road. Or something along those lines.
Will is still going to try and manipulate everything by placing Derrick around Paul all the time, in order to make Paul forget about Sonny. Because apparently, even after this latest confession, Will still thinks Sonny is weak-willed, thoughtless and not to be trusted.
I hate it. But I think that's where this is headed.

I don't think Will and Paul will hook up again. Paul has been taking too much responsibility for what happen with Will and when he finds out that Will cheated on Sonny with a man right before him he will be furious with Will. Will have been saying it a one time mistake but it's his second time cheating on his husband and Paul has always felt bad about his part in it but Will of course is the one with the problem. Will has been acting immature, selfish and needy he has been lying to Paul in most of the time he has known him in one way or another not telling Paul he was married with a daughter, not telling him about John, blackmailing his mother. i just don't know what Paul would find attractive about Will right now. It could still happen of course it would just be weird.

I agree about Paul's personality and it not making sense for him to find Will attractive right now, except that yesterday he said he "got" Will because of the feelings after coming out. (Which I found ridiculous, they are in completely different situations). Something has to happen to get Sonny out of town, though. Maybe after making all these promises and declarations today (which I do think he meant), Sonny screws up with Paul or Derrick and leaves out of guilt. The ridiculous thing about that theory is that Will hasn't actually tried to make amends for anything he's done. He hasn't done anything FOR Sonny. He's done everything for himself. He's just tried to manipulate things to hang on. Sonny always tends to end up feeling guilt enough for the both of them though, and I will cringe if that's why he leaves.

It just seems like if Will and Paul hooked up again it would hard to bring the characters back from that. Will is already worst this would really damage the character IMO. The writing on this show is horrible but i don't think they will go that far. Of course i could be wrong Sonny has become Will's doormat the writers have mess him up like they did Will. Thank god they were fired!

Sadly, this is just my opinion, but I think that because Will's a bigger "legacy character", than Sonny and certainly more than Paul, the writers and Executive Producers are under the impression that they can have his character behave in such a way, that somehow will be understood, rationalized and forgiven by the audience, because they've had a visual connection with that character for so on long. Will continues to lie, manipulate, disappoint, betray and hurt Sonny. Yet, the writers thought that it was interesting to have Sonny take on that blame. I think that when Sonny finally exits, the writers and the EP will need to rethink their stance on how the want the Sonny character to be portrayed, if that character is ever introduced again to the town of Salem.

I think that when Sonny finally exits, the writers and the EP will need to rethink their stance on how the want the Sonny character to be portrayed, if that character is ever introduced again to the town of Salem.I hope so. I don't know exactly what to credit for why I ended up feeling attached to Sonny... whether it was Freddie's portrayal, or just the general premise on which Sonny's character was founded (he's just flat-out one of the nicer people in Salem right now, period). I think a lot of it is Freddie, which is why the bolded above worries me, if he were to be recast with a different actor. I think that had someone not able to breathe a lot of humility and kindness into this character, it might've made for a much different Sonny. I know Freddie has won an Emmy, and I was ecstatic for him, but I don't particularly think he's the absolute best emotional actor on the show. However, with that said, I think he has a rare gift in that he can play "good" quite well. Especially on soaps, I think that can be really difficult to do in a believable and not completely irritating way, and he just has always seemed to do it almost without effort. Anyway, you definitely are not alone in this concept. I have been on several other boards/sites - especially after these last two ridiculous episodes - where discussion has come up about Sonny always being written in deference to Will. When you find yourself connected more to Sonny than Will, it feels insanely frustrating. Why is all the drama generated by Will? Why is all the focus on Will's feelings? Why is it Sonny that has to give in to make things work? Why does Will have more sounding boards than Sonny? Why do we always know what Will is thinking and planning, but have no insights into Sonny's inner thoughts? I loved the characterization they gave him when he first arrived, he was exceptionally likeable. But it became clear quite quickly, as soon as he became involved with Will's storyline, that Sonny was there to prop Will. In my personal opinion, though his role has grown a little, that hasn't gone away for Freddie's entire 4 year run, and yesterday especially was a prime (and infuriating) example of that. Sonny went from betrayed, hurt, emotionally exhausted and angry, to understanding and forgiving in the space of an hour. Sonny talked and talked about Will's wants and needs, what Sonny should and shouldn't have done to make sure Will's life was lived well. He didn't mention his own current wants and needs, what he needs to be happy or why he's been so devastated, except maybe that one sentence about wanting to sleep with Paul to hurt Will. But even that wasn't played to service Sonny or his conflict over whether he wanted Paul - it was played to get a reaction out of Will. I literally think they've just had Sonny in this subordinate role for so long they don't know how to write him out of it. In the end, it's just all about Will.

It's not a rumor, it's been confirmed. Jason47 has confirmed it, and Camila Banus herself did as well in some interviews, as well as on Twitter.
She said in an interview at some point that something happens that allows Gabi to get out of jail.
A Martinez has also been added to the cast (confirmed), and there has been much speculation that he's going to play Rafe and Gabi's father.

Ok what I'm about to say please keep in mind that this is pure speculation and is not been confirmed.But there is an interesting spoiler saying "someone gets a new look."Some are saying that this is a possible Sonny recast.Again this is pure speculation,and has not been confirmed by either Days or NBC.

First, that spoiler is from Dayscafe so it means absolutely nothing. She doesn't get any special spoilers, she just takes what EVERYONE already knows and rewords it to make it seem like she gets inside information. Second, saying someone gets a new look on a soap opera is like saying Tuesday is going to come after Monday next week. Really??!??!? No, Tuesday can't possibly come after Monday! We already know that Theo, Ciara and Claire (and maybe Chase) have been recast as teenagers, so, even if a new actor comes on as Sonny, it would just be pure coincidence.
