Yep! I'm inclined to think that you may be right with this. And I think the "outs" actually started from the get-go. For instance, Will seemingly having uneasy feelings about Gabi but never displaying any obvious affection towards members of the same sex. Also, intertwining the gay story with Will catching his mother and EJ having sex. Will arriving home from the pub, he takes a look at a picture of himself with Sami, then walks over to the mirror and spits, and now him getting drunk in order to kiss boys. It really does seem like they're being cautious and don't know what to do. |

I don't know about that. IIRC the community praised OLTL to high heaven and the show won awards, but when the show blamed the gay characters for the decline in its ratings and announced not only would it end the storyline, but would also send the characters off canvas, outside of an official letter to the TPTB requesting a reconsideration, nothing else really happened (again, as I recall). And I think the explicit and official blaming of gay characters is far worse than deciding not to follow through with making a character gay, at least IMO. Maybe if it was a high profile show there'd be a big stink, but a low rated soap? Hmmm Edited by badaddiction, Feb 16 2012, 04:51 PM.

I agree with this too! High praise, which OLTL's KISH definitely got, wasn't enough to save them. The show dumped this already established gay couple anyway. I'm still annoyed by it to this very day because KISH were just about to embark on the next phase of their relationship: Gay parenting. |

Also, rather than having EJ blackmail Will with the fact that he knows he's gay (as we were originally led to believe would happen), the writers made up fake history so EJ could blackmail him with the fact that he knows he shot him four years ago. It's so obvious what the writers are doing. They're trying to have their cake and eat it too with this story. They're afraid of backlash so they're pussyfooting around the real issue so they can change their minds at the last minute if they so desire. "I guess it's time for Will to kiss a guy, but first let's have him get drunk so we can blame it on the alcohol just incase we decide to make him straight again. We need EJ to blackmail Will with something, but rather than blackmailing him over his sexuality, let's make up history so we don't have to acknowledge that Will is gay." It's stuff like that over and over and over. Eventually though, they're going to have to shit or get off the pot because you can't tell a coming out story without acknowledging the fact that the character at the center of it is gay. They can't keep straddling the fence. |

I'm not so sure about that. Like cyndabell posted, OLTL was brazen enough to come right out and blame their low ratings on the gay characters and it didn't spark a national outrage. People were upset about it, but it certainly didn't stop the show from purging the gays. Ken Corday is a conservative man. The fact that he gave the go-ahead to even test this story was nothing short of a miracle. If he thinks for one second that Will being gay is causing the ratings to drop or turning off his long-time viewers, he'll tell the writers to reverse it in a heartbeat. That's why they've given themselves so many outs (Will getting drunk before kissing a guy, "coming out" but not really, etc.). This story has been in the works since last Spring and there's yet to be a single line of dialogue confirming that Will is actually gay. There's a reason for that. |

SOW: Will's First (Guy) Kiss This week, Will stumbles into his first gay kiss. After Sonny listens to Will vent about family woes, he tries to brighten his pal's day. "Sonny and his friends are partying and he invites Will," previews Freddie Smith. "Will has been so uptight lately, so this is a chance for him to loosen up and have some fun." Chandler Massey adds, "Since Sonny has come back to Salem, he and Will have grown close as friends. In fact, Sonny has become his best friend." Will accompanies Sonny to a club at the town square, where Sonny's pals have already assembled. Several of them are engaged in a drinking game and they invite Sonny and Will to join them. "Sonny doesn't accept the offer," notes Smith. But Will is eager to join the fun. "Sonny actually tries to talk Will out of it," Smith says. "He tells Will, 'You're not old enough to be drinking.' Will's attitude is, 'No, you wanted me to have fun, so that's what I'm going to do, have fun.'" Sonny turns his attention to other friends, while Will gets carried away kicking back shots. "After living with self-loathing and self-disgust, and not being able to accept something about himself, compounded with all the stuff that is going on in his life, Will is tightly wound," voices Massey. "He gets a few drinks in him because it makes him feel less awkward in the situation." Later, Will meets a handsome friend of Sonny's named Neil and strikes up a conversation with him. "Will has had too much to drink," notes Massey, "and he's starting to feel very relaxed." Sonny touches base with Will and immediately senses there is a problem. "Sonny is being like the older brother for a minute," explains Smith. "He advises Will to calm down with the drinking, but Will is letting loose for the first time in a long while. He kind of goes crazy and gets real wasted." Will insists that he'll be fine and encourages Sonny to talk with his other friends. Later, Will makes an aggressive move and kisses Neil. "It's like there is a break in the dam, and Will grabs this guy and pulls him in for a kiss. He allows himself to do something that he would not normally do in a sober situation, " details Massey. "Before Will realizes what he's doing, he sees Sonny. It's one of those moments when Will wishes he could turn invisible." Will then runs away, "Sonny has been there before, he knows what it feels like," says Smith. "So he just wants to have Will's back. Sonny doesn't want to press too much, because he knows how it is. It just takes time. When Will is ready, he'll talk about it." Later, Will shows up at Marlena's, still in turmoil about the kiss. "At this point, Will knows what he's feeling, but he doesn't want to accept it," says Massey. "He's looking for his grandmother to tell him that he's okay." SOW: The Truth Comes Out About Sami And EJ Will meets with Sonny at the Brady Pub and confides that he walked in on his mom having ex with her ex-hubby. Uh-oh: Rafe is there and overhears. He beelines for the loft, where he confronts his wife. "Rafe doesn't understand how she could be unfaithful, especially with EJ, of all people, no matter what the circumstances," says Galen Gering. "This is a guy who has spent years trying to destroy their lives, and now he has ultimately succeeded." Rafe accuses Sami of being hypocritical, because she made such a big deal about his kiss with Carrie. Sami insists that she still loves Rafe and wants to save their marriage. "Rafe has been blindsided," notes Gering. "He has several different emotions going on. He's angry, distraught and upset." Meanwhile, EJ arranges a romantic picnic for Nicole in front of the DiMera mansion fireplace. The meal culminates with EJ presenting Nicole with a ring and suggesting that they give their marriage a completely fresh start. "EJ arranges everything so perfectly that Nicole just eats it up," notes Arianne Zucker. The romantic mood is ruined by a loud knock at the front door. Rafe pushes his way in, closely followed by Sami. Rafe throws a punch at EJ. "Nicole definitely comes to EJ's side," shares Zucker. "Obviously, something has happened, because Rafe is usually very calm and collected." Rafe blasts EJ for sleeping with Sami, which cuts Nicole to the core. "EJ was finally trying to do right by Nicole," points out Zucker. "He withheld the truth because he was afraid of losing Nicole. But I think if he trusted Nicole enough to tell her, they may have been able to work it out." Instead, Nicole is so angered by EJ's behavior that she tosses back his ring and leaves. |

I understand the concern that Corday might reverse course, but Will being the aggressor in the kiss would seem to make that a little more difficult. It doesn't sound like the other guy swoops in for a quick peck and Will doesn't push him away, which would be more weak. I'm definitely interested in seeing how it plays out.
This better not fucking suck, is all I'm sayin'. |

SAMI loves Rafe now that he knows she's a cheating hypocritical whore???? LMFAO!!! I am glad he calls her a hypocrite. Hope he leaves and starts flaunting his feelings for Carrie now. Sami is such an utter LOSER. She always has, always will be. I hope Rafe fucks the shit out of Carrie, TAPES it, then mails it to Sami so she can watch :) And then knocks her sister up! ;) |

This, plus WilSon looks like a must see. Next week will be so good. Only if the show had more of these dramatic moments more often and not like 10 times in a year. |

There's good news for the writers: If they went balls to the wall and made Will come out, if fans reacted negatively to the story, they could always blame the spectacle on a chip in his penis. |

I am doing the happy dance, it's time for Sami to pay the piper, she guilts the hades Rafe for kissing Carrie but she is the one that had sex with EJ, poor Nicole she is blind sided by this, but she should have known that there was more to EJ hiring Will then what he said. |
