One of them is going to cheat on the other within the next year of them being a married couple. I hope so. I want them to be treated like any other soap couple, and that means infidelity at least in the soap world. So if we want equality for the boys, then Brian ( dripping wet of course) is going to come back and see Sonny ( who suddenly splashes some coffee or whatever drink is at hand on himself, and has to be shirtless) and we have some Afternoon Delight going on ( because of some reason that Club is empty in the middle of the day, Brian grabs him and for some reason they fall, and well.... .ummm... you know the rest) and all of this is because Will is busy pursuing his writing career and putting Ari first, and couldn't meet Sonny that day at the Club, <small voice> at least that's how I picture it going .<end small voice> You made me want to youtube Brian and Sonny and, coincidentally, it was one year ago today, they had their makeout sessions at the coffee house (I miss that place) and Brian's apartment. Aaaahhh, hot times!

Unfortunately i think they will remain totally chaste (in a really soapy world both will cheat) and faithbull to their whole boring existence till a boring sunset ending. Frankly, they will get some barely obstacle like Brian (Brent wasn't even that). They are right now without any gay friend near them. There are very few gay characters in american soaps, and fans ususally so protective of them that end smothering the storyline, and the writers probably are not in the mood to make that fans angry when they made the conservative fans angry before including gay characters.
If the characters were introduced in a different situation (like what happens on GH right now) there are posibilities of being treated like any other character (but small posibilities), but when you start the gay storyline with a couple of True love, there's no way that'll happen. Hopefully i'll be wrong, because i find them boring enough right now, and it's a pity waste two handsome and talented actors

Sonny and Gabi fighting again next week. I think she starts falling for Nick again and that's how Kate and Sami get thrown under, because she's the one on Nick's good side while they have to deal with his 'wrath'. It was really telling on Friday when the flashback Gabi had was of her and Nick 'making love' on the couch. Why not the usual 'drowning man' flashbacks? Nick also looked very into AG. Is he going to kidnap the baby? Or are we in for another round of Nick's insta-family, with a side-order of Custody Battle with Will and Sonny?
How stupid is Gabi to fall for her would-be-rapist (if they do go there), and how stupid for Nick to fall for his would-be killer (if he isn't manipulating her). But I guess EJ and Sami have done it, so anyone can!
On another note, I look forward to the day when Will and Sonny can be a family without Gabi in the picture. I don't want them to ever make Gabi give up her parental rights, because then Will and Sonny will be viewed negatively for 'taking a child away from it's mother'. Rather send Gabi to prison.
Some have said how fake it is to watch Sonny and Gabi get along. Sonny does it for the sake of AG. He may even like her sometimes, but I feel like he will never ever trust her, and that's why they will never ever really be friends.
I do wish that they would have Will be the one to fight with Gabi sometimes. I've heard some describe Sonny as a control freak who won't let Gabi come between his perfect life with Will and AG. Sometimes Sonny comes off negatively because Gabi always gains sympathy as the baby's mother, and I wish Will would be there to back his man up and see his 'friend's' true colours.

Why are they getting married so quickly after just getting engaged? I mean, even Samantha and EJ haven't rushed back down the aisle for their second or is it third shot at marital boredom. Those two haven't made any sort of plans. Oh, I forgot. There's a rush to make sure that nobody ever causes WilSon to ever break up. Baby and marriage within three years. One of them is going to cheat on the other within the next year of them being a married couple. I wish I could agree, but I don't. Will and Sonny are in a sense, tokens as much as they are characters. They are about sending a message, not telling a story, the message being that gays are good people who just want to get married and have babies like everyone else. The show won't do anything to rock that boat. I'd love if they did and I hope I'm wrong, believe me. But I'd be shocked if they let either of them them have an affair ala EJ and Abby. DAYS is free to shock me though.

Glad Sonny and Gabi will be fighting again. I can't stand them as friends.

I saw a spoiler at Days's Cafe. Looks like we will be seeing Ben, who a casting call was done for back in the summer, and he's Jordan's brother.

I'm glad the actors are excited and their fans will be exited and the show is being progressive and all, but there was nothing in that article that tells me they will be *interesting*. They are still supporting players with no actual storyline. Much like their entire relationship, once they are married, they'll be that happy couple everybody wishes they could be. Zzzzzzz.....

I fear for Ari, I think Nick has plans on taking her for himself. To raise in his own twisted fantasy. Even though he has no claim to her at all. And if anything happens to Gabi, Will and Sonny won't let Nick within ten feet of Ari.

They are still supporting players with no actual storyline. Much like their entire relationship, once they are married, they'll be that happy couple everybody wishes they could be. Zzzzzzz..... I agree. There are several problems, the first of all is that Will and Sonny are very bland, they are members of very troublesome families but they are the typical good gay soap boy, even when Will was with EJ his delictive record didn't seem edgy at all. Even their fanfiction is pretty vanilla. In a soap if the gay couple is formed to last there's a big big problem with future storylines, because people use to be very protective of that couple and had bad reactions to any character who comes in the middle. You need characters a lot more interesting that Will and Sonny to make a monogamous couple something worth to watch. That kind of storyline can work (with good writers) in a prime time show, specially if the focus is not the couple's relationship. Will and Sonny are very young to marry, they are very young to give them problems that are normal in couples that are together for a long time, the only way to keep them interesting it's give them something interesting to do, but they probably only will be recurring characters in other's storylines. And frankly, the way they treated Brian makes me thing that they are not going to be treated like the rest of couples on this show. They lost a good opportunity with that storyline because at least they could get an open posibility of them not being "destined" to be together. That is maybe romantic, but extremely boring for a soap

gidi, you repeat the same, but it's simply not true. You won't watch the show if they cheat, but most people who watch a soap know that cheating (like blackmailing and kidnapping) are a fundamental part of the genre. A soap is not like a prime time show. If they keep faithful (in all senses not only the sexual one) they will become Nuke 2.0. People seem to forget that Nuke were very interesting (far more interesting that Wilson never was) but they became dull and boring when all the interlopers were nothing more that bland obstacles. Curiously they could be interesting again if the show wasn't cancelled when the show introduced Reid. They only needed more time (better writers) and flesh up Noah, and they would get a fantastic love triangle. Unfortunately that never happened.
It's not like people want to see Sonny and Will cheat on each other, it's that if they don't have some obstacles in their way, they will vanish into the only recurring role in other's storylines (if they are lucky) or into obscurity and not airtime (if they are not)

Why would FS and GW tease upcoming story lines, when the one under discussion has yet to happen? The engagement and marriage is a big deal at the moment and I would think that they would focus on it and not bring up any other story line to pull focus away. What if there is an interloper down the road? Would fans want to hear that this much-lauded marriage is destined for disaster when they haven't even watched it air? Just because they don't go further than what was asked doesn't mean that they will be sitting and doing nothing after this.
I'm not going to tell people what to think, but I'm going to remain optimistic. The show had to do a marriage story line now because of the threat of cancellation (that was recently avoided). If they hadn't got round to it, I would have been disappointed. And yes, they could have ended the show with them getting married, but maybe the show wants to explore a gay marriage on TV? Like showing it being successful or experiencing the same challenges as straight marriages. They could also explore a custody case, adoption, surrogacy etc in the evolution of these characters, things that viewers have never personally seen gay couples go through. And who says Wilson won't be involved in a custody battle, egg-swap, or a switched at birth story in the future, like many on the show before them? Just because they get married doesn't mean they can't still lie cheat and steal like the rest.
TPTB had to be mindful of the fact that Freddie's contract expires next April, who knows what their plan is? The story lines are mapped out 6 months or more in advance. As a fan, I would like Will and Sonny to be treated like any other soap couple, but I do think that the show feels some social responsibility to depict gay characters in a positive way. I think the message they are sending is an important one, and I admire the show and the network's continued support of this couple, and the fact that they are the first daytime drama to reach such a milestone for a same-sex male pairing.

Since there are no spoilers about either Will or Sonny cheating I don't know why this is even being discussed. Right now it is not an issue.

I thinks it's because some people are saying that they're happy no cheating is happening , so others respond that they think it would be more interesting/soapy if there were a real triangle.

In either case, this doesn't belong in spoiler discussion. This conversation is off in speculation and "what if" territory now. It's not like people want to see Sonny and Will cheat on each other, it's that if they don't have some obstacles in their way, they will vanish into the only recurring role in other's storylines (if they are lucky) or into obscurity and not airtime (if they are not) I think you should avoid describing what "people want to see." Please make sure you are only speaking for yourself.

Sonny has the potential to become a darker character. If I was writing for the show, I'd try to make Wilson interesting by having Sonny discover his inner Kiriakis. Perhaps with all the danger always swirling around Will and Ari he could become a little heavy handed in the way he tries to protect them.

I think everybody here is mature enough to know that when somebody says people is not refering to everybody (wich is obvious because some people in this same forum has the opposite opinion)

THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS FOR WILSON FANS...
For fans who follow cast tweets, it's been known for awhile that Sonny and Will will be getting married in the near future (several pictures of Guy Wilson and Freddie Smith wearing wedding rings on the set have been posted accidentally over the past few months and then removed when "Days" realized the rings were seen in the photos). Fans of Will and Sonny are wondering when the "Wilson" wedding is set to take place. You may now begin the countdown...I won't narrow it down too much, but expect the big day to happen on air sometime between the next 4 to 8 weeks!!

So, I have to ask. It looks like the Wilson Wedding will be airing just outside of the May Sweeps period (if they go closer to the 8-week mark). Is that because the show is afraid of advertiser backlash or trying to minimise it? Or am I reading too much into it?
