Spoiler Discussion - Days of Our Lives

[justinate]

Sonny and Chad have a minimal presence in Friday's episode. Basically, Sonny tells Victor about his new job and suspects that the Kiriakis-DiMera feud is about to reignite. Chad has come to the same conclusion so the boys team up to find Chad's brother and Sonny's cousin before things get ugly. They follow EJ and Brady to the forest and are surprised when the two men shake hands on a truce. The real danger is out on the pier, where Victor and Stefano are meeting with Stefano's gunman in hiding. Maggie sees the gunman about to shoot Victor and runs into the path of the bullet.

Here is a sneak peek with Sonny interrupting Maggie/Victor: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHzvld6wjZY

Thanks to justinate:

Tuesday Aug. 9th - Rafe fails to prevent Will and Gabi from having sex.
Wed, Aug. 10th - Will and Gabi feel lucky to have each other.

Stefano is a freakin idiot and should have just let it alone and took EJ at his word, instead of showing ass. And Victor should have listened to Brady and not got involved because he is the one who inadvertantly tipped off Stefano that it was Brady who punkassly attacked EJ.

[pru]

That is hilarious.

Color me shocked...SO NOT! That Rafe's advice to Will was for him and Gabi not to have sex. She is ONLY eighteen and GROWN in the eyes of the law. What an idiot. How he could actually believe that Will would take his advice is amusing to me.

As for them feeling lucky to have each other I don't have a problem with that. It's not like Will doesn't care for and about Gabi even though we know he is going to end up breaking her heart, it's just going to be so sad when it happens.

[cathy29]

Rafe is just being a big brother to Gabi his just trying to protect her.Maybe he feels they are going to fast or not ready.Seems like Rafe does like Will so it can't be that he doesn't like him for his sister.

Will/Gabi feel lucky to have each other.I like Gabi i can't complain about her she such a sweet person and she really loves Will.But i see her being heartbroken and shattered.Will he does care for her but not the way he really should.Love no i don't think he does.And it sucks that he sleeps her not because he truly wants to he does it because he thinks that's what straight guys do.

[justinate]

I still think they should show Will having SOME doubts. If he's perfectly happy with the sex then I won't know what to think.

I agree. That is why the August 10 spoiler have me somewhat confused because I get the impression that probably he won't show any doubts (unless the spoiler is misleading).

You're suppose to think he's happy with the sex. Just because we know the story ahead, doesn't mean that the character does yet. I haven't seen any proof that Will knows or has any inkling that he's gay.

[pru]

I completely agree, md.

I don't believe that Will has any inkling that he is gay either and so what if he enjoys sex with Gabi, like that means anything. Edwin enjoyed sex with Wiet but who did he end up with in the end? That's what I thought.

I'm just glad we getting more movement in the story.

Of course Rafe likes Will, he is married to Will's mother after all but the point is it's none of his business and why he was even told about this is a mystery to me as well. It would be different if Gabi were underage and he expressed concerns but she's eighteen and can do whatever the hell she wants.

He needs to recognize she is a grown person now and back off.

Like he didn't have sex when he was eighteen...please.

Count me among those that will not watch Will and Gabi making love!

Me too lol

I think I will pass all episodes next week.

[boyofgod]

I think the story of Will's straight side is gone too far. Will and Gabi's fans will get angry when they know Will is gay. I really scare that the producers will change their minds and make Will be straight forever.

[anthonyl]

My sense is that as far as Will is concerned he's straight, but will find himself attracted to Sonny as they spend more time together. Sometimes it works out that way. Will can be perfectly happy with Gabi and their relationship, but still realize that it's not what he really wants. Not everyone knows that they are gay growing up like Sonny did. People seem to want Will to be repulsed by Gabi, but it doesn't work like that in real life so I doubt it will here. Most soap gays had girlfriends and enjoyed sex with them, but turned out gay in the end. As far as the show, I don't think they've changed their minds at all. It's just not moving as fast as people would like. We're also still under Dena's writing, so she must've planned to have them sleep together and that wasn't a change under the new regime.

[justinate]

I don't know, if Will is attracted to Gabi and enjoys sex with her, surely he's not gay? Bisexual at best (and I doubt the soaps are going there, it's always one or the other to the exclusion of all else). I also feel that there should be SOME indication that Will is not entirely satisfied, that something is lacking. I don't believe (and certainly don't want) him to be repulsed by the sex with Gabi, but some vague sense of dissatisfaction/discomfort/lacking something. If there really isn't anything, then I don't see Will coming out as gay anytime in the next two years. How can they have him bounce from happy sex with Gabi this month and next month go to doubting his sexuality? It's highly unrealistic.

I don't really agree. I mean, I doubt they'll actually go into this much detail about how it was for him, but I imagine him feeling like it wasn't quite as good as all the hype he's heard from other guys has lead him to believe, but it was definitely better than his own right hand. At this point, that's all Will has to compare it to, so he may not realize that there's something lacking until he DOES have something to compare it to.

Will and Gabi's fans already know which way the wind is blowing and that Will is going to be gay.

You mean kind of like how it was unrealistic that Edwin was having lots of sex with Wiet and enjoying it and then BOOM! He ended up with Lucas after they went out on a date together?

Count me in i don't want to see this .Them making love over and over.Because the only person that's going to be hurt is Gabi at the end of all this.I hope after that we see Will and Sonny getting closer

And i hope the writers haven't changed their mind .That they are keeping Will straight.

They did the same kind of thing with Luke and Noah. When Noah first came on ATWT, it was already known that he was going to be Luke's love interest, but they had him hook up with Maddie first. And Noah didn't seem to realize anything was "wrong" or "missing" until he started to feel attracted to Luke.

I'm not saying it's the best way to tell the story, and I do think it would have been better if they didn't have Will sleep with Gabi, but I agree with you that the fact that they're having Will sleep with Gabi doesn't mean that they've decided to back out of the story or that Will isn't really gay.

Exactly, peggin, and for others to even think that makes no sense to me.

The only other gay coupling I can think of that it wasn't a problem with was Max and Iago.

They were never involved with girls romantically, it was always guys.

People need to stop being impatient and let the story unfold.

And it's not like Sonny is somewhere pining over Will and wanting them to be together.

[jjose712]

Well, i think it's different, Noah end in bed with Maddie for a couple of factor, he was very disturbed by his father presence, and Maddie was sad for something aobut Casey. He wasn't exactly thrilled about the relationship but the constant presence of Col Mayer keep him saying how happy he was again and again. And he didn't have that much relationship with Luke at that time, maybe Luke felt love at first touch but he acted like if he dislike Noah from the very first time he saw him.
GTST on the other hand, well that storyline was pure nonsense from the begining, one week it was amazing, the next really awful, people complaint about Glee lack of consistence, but Glee storylines are really solid if you compare with GTST
I don't think nothing of that will happen on Days, i know people complain a lot about the storyline, but i don't think there's any difference of quality with ATWT or OLTL (during kish), both shows have entertaining moments and a lot of wtf moment too. Days slow pace is good to tell this kind of storyline, people complain that nothing happens, but it's not true, in fact Days is doing something that people always wanted for Noah on ATWT, they are integrating Sonny in Salem, and make him appear on different storylines.
I'm all for Will falling in first place, and that needs time, he needs to realize something is wrong in his relationship, he needs to start to have feeling for Sonny and that needs time, and it's better if Sonny has something to do in the meantime

[pru]

Uh! Speak the truth, jjose!

I absolutely LOVE that Sonny is slowed being featured in other storylines and that his existence isn't solely to be Will's love interest sometime in the future. Days is being really smart in doing this so that we're really invested when the story really starts to unfold and take steam.

So kudos to Days for being really brilliant in their storytelling this time.

If I'm remembering right. Lucas purchased Edwin in some sort of contest for a date...

But I don't think Will will go... hmm, that v-jay-jay wasn't all that good ... maybe I should try ass instead? I'm not sure that actually happens (outside of TV/movies).
