That little boring short shrimp Sonny aka the Mr. Rogers Neighborhood wannabe of Salem needs to STFU. I'd much rather Will learn how to scheme and connive than spend his time helping him serve coffee in that boring ass coffee shop.
Will is Lumi's kid, he shouldn't need Ej to learn how to scheme and connive since Ej usually fails at that every time, lol.
I get what you're saying, but based on the show itself, they aren't focusing on that aspect of Will's DNA/ family dynamic & history unless he's throwing Sami's "crimes" in her face. He's rarely around Kate, Lucas seemingly has been reformed (and has basically become a reaction & sounding board character), and though Sami has her moments, she's no longer the bad girl schemer of yesteryear. And whether EJ's plans are successful or not, he is still the show's resident "bad boy" who willingly goes outside the law when necessary.

but like Sami told Lucas when he returned in reference to Will, 'He's my kid, your kid, Kate's grandson, revenge is in his blood'.....seriously I have to think that these writers are a bit more imaginative than to just have EJ be this kid's mentor in the realm of scheming, lol.....Will is going to find that evidence this week, he has something big on EJ, who is a big suspect by this time in his father's death. Will just found a motive for EJ killing Stefano. He's going to turn this around and I for one am glad because it's so contrived to have Ej always blackmail Will......Will is going to hopefully come out on top with this and in the end, he's learned NOTHING from EJ.....

Yes, he has the DNA, but he's not cultivating it. That's my point. Previously he seemed to only tap into that DNA under emotional duress or strain. Him being around EJ allows him to cultivate it. As for what he uncovers and does with the evidence, has yet to be revealed. So, I'm not going to get all pissed or excited about what Will is going to do with the counterbalancing info on EJ. As a matter of fact, I'd be surprised if Will takes the info to the police. I think it'll play out more as Will continuing to work for EJ, but this time on a level playing field via the info he uncovers.

Love the EJILL spoiler! Everything about EJILL is the most exciting stuff on Days now. Looking forward to WilSon too, but don't like that Sonny is trying to tell Will to stay away from EJ :angry:

I wonder what Will will do when he finds out that EJ is not Stefano's son? Especially since Will knows that means that his BFF Chad would be the sole heir.
But would proof that EJ is not Stefano's son be enough to prevent him from getting the DiMera fortune? The most recent will that was exectuted gives everything to EJ I believe. The new will where EJ gets nothing was never filed.
Stefano's lawyer also knows that EJ is not Stefano's son.

EJ has given him an outlet and the inclination to scheme. And the deadkidsex and the blackmail were the best thing to ever happen to Will. If not for that, he'd still be sharing make up tips with Sami at Rafe's loft.

Lucas might be a schemer at heart, but how is Will supposed to learn from him when he hasn't used his talents in years? He even took it further and taught Will to despise Sami's scheming ways and he and Sami regularly cut him off from Kate. Will spent his toddlerhood with scheming parents and grandparents (including Victor, here), but his formative years were spent with a reformed Lucas, Sami and Kate when they were on their best behavior and positive influences like the other Bradys, Jennifer, and Caustin.

If we list all the crimes that EJ, Kate, Lucas and Sami have committed and the punishments they faced as a result, EJ is going to come out on top. Everyone's schemes usually fall apart, because the audience needs a payoff, but EJ's done more than anyone else with less consequences. That's part of the reason so many rl people are so pissed at him lol.

I'm really enjoying Andrew as well! Seriously WTF is wrong with this show? They cast awesome people for guest arcs, but they can rarely find decent contract cast members! ANNOYING!

If Sstefanos wil is challenge because either EJ killed him or isn't his son, then Kate should end up with her half, plus one half of Stehanos share with the other half of Steophanos going to Chad. I would love to see Kate with the upper hand. But the writers will probably be lame and give it all to Chad some way.

I definitely like the idea of Will always teetering between light and dark. The other alternative would be having him be like Saffron from Absolutely Fabulous and perpetually annoyed with Sami, but I really liked the EJill scenes where Will is just having fun getting away with stuff.

This makes him a different kind of bad boy, but it does provide potential for tension in a Wilson relationship since Sonny is such a boy scout (too bad he wouldn't be allowed to be a boy scout, he'd be perfect :censored: ).

In any case, the idea of Will being Salem's freelance schemer makes me happy, even though he wouldn't help Gabi break up Melanie and Chad for ethical reasons, but I like that he has standards too.

As for EJ and Will, as long as they are not too chummy and sort of hate each other but need each other - I'm fine with it. But I do think that Will has the potential to grow into a bigger and badder schemer than EJ, and EJ should watch himself because he might be creating a monster.

Cultivating entails learning what not to do in a given situation as well as the converse. So if Will learns from EJ's failures or mistakes that's all the better. I enjoy the show focusing on this side of Will's character. I enjoy his interaction with EJ. I don't expect EJ to ever be written as the Machiavellian ultimate winner because of his position on the show. You can't be that yet still be one of the main Leads (if not, THE Lead) on the show unless you have everyone & sundry whitewashing your crimes & behavior a la Y&R's Victor Newman. If given the choice, I'd choose a character deserved of his failure rather than illogically always the victor.

As for outcome of Will gathering info against info, we both agree that he needs to level the playing field. At least for me, by him doing so, it'll add another interesting element to their relationship.

Pls excuse any and all errors. I'm typing this via iPod.

I don't mind Will being grey, charcoal or what not...and I problem with this EJill shit is that they aren't writing it in a way to give me a clue that maybe in the end Will is going to end up playing Ej and take him down. I get more of that now with the spoilers coming out for July already, something seems to be happening and maybe Will is going to get the upper hand here.

On EJ creating a monster - I hope he does. Lucas and Sami already mistakenly laid the groudwork with their years of questionable parenting. I love that Will finds the truth about EJ's paternity. Hopefully he'll hold onto it like a schemer instead of handing it over to Rafe or Roman.

EJ and Will have potential for a great frenemy relationship. It would be nice to get him a darker friend his own age, though. My preference would be Alexander Kiriakis. With that bloodline, he has to be a bit dangerous.

As far as Will finding information on EJ. I think he will hold onto it, just like EJ himself told him that he did back when he found out Will shot him. I think the learning has already begun. Hold on to the information until it suits your purpose or whatever the hell he said. I think Will IS learning from him and is going to turn it around. I like that idea that EJ is creating a monster. :D But at the same time, I don't want Will to go too dark. It could be a really good story if Sonny is the good guy to bring him out of that, if done right.

Even if Carrie and Rafe slept together,which we know they didn't,Sami had no problem sleeping with EJ,for me that made her lose any right in reguards to whatever Rafe does with his life,plus she's with Lucas now,why should she care.

Absolutely agree on bolded - although I think you mean "aren't" too chummy. =)

I have absolutely no problem with Will being a gray character. Yes, gray and conflicted is much more interesting than black and white. I just don't like seeing Will cave to EJ so much - I realize he is not going to be an expert yet, and be able to go toe to toe with EJ just yet. I am not blind to this. But I still don't like seeing him cower so much right now. I would like for that to change slowly, so this week's spoilers have me intrigued on that end.

I am not sure Frenemy is totally the word I would use to describe what I would like to see of the Ejill thing. Yes, to an extent people that work together and respect each other while also really hating each other - I guess that is what frenemies are. But, I dunno - I want something even darker and more twisted than that. =) Less fr, more enemy. Fenemies maybe. ;) In any event, that dynamic would not allow for Will to trust EJ with anything - as he shouldn't (which is what I have been going hoarse - or whatever the typing equivalent of that is - saying for weeks). Let on that he trusts EJ in order to move his own interests forward; trust EJ's ability to scheme and manipulate, maybe....but nothing else. JMO.

I am sure he will hold onto the information he uncovers against EJ. It would be good story-telling/continuity if Will recalls what EJ told him about being patient and holding on to something for the right moment. That EJ did that for so long...as much as I don't like him, that was a very nice villainy move. Have Lucas go to jail, split up Lumi, lull Will and his parents (well, father really) into a false sense of security that the lie was successful and - BAM, drop this doozy of a revelation when it is most beneficial! Good on EJ to have that patience and foresight. Will would be wise to do the same. I look forward to scenes were he might subtly hint that he knows more than he is letting on, taunt EJ a bit maybe (as much as he can, anyway, as a novice), start getting experience at what it is to play mind games, etc. That would be delicious.

As for his parentage, as a Lumi fan, I firmly believe this streak or propensity is in his DNA. He did shoot EJ after all, he did come up with some good lies when he ran away to Chicago. But no, it's true that his parents aren't "cultivating" this dark side - I can't imagine why they would want their son to get mixed up in anything approaching what they got mixed up in as teens. But my hope is, now that they know Will is still in EJ's pocket sort of, they join forces a bit. Maybe Sami and Lucas initially to make sure their son is keeping out of terrible, terrible trouble, and then at some point later on Will and Lumi working together. That would be a dream come true, really :cheer: We shall see. But I like the spoilers this week re: Will gaining some ground against EJ, maybe :)

That little boring short shrimp Sonny aka the Mr. Rogers Neighborhood wannabe of Salem needs to STFU. I'd much rather Will learn how to scheme and connive than spend his time helping him serve coffee in that boring ass coffee shop.
I don't hate Sonny...but THAT my friend was fucking HILARIOUS!

:applause:

Love the EJILL spoiler! Everything about EJILL is the most exciting stuff on Days now. Looking forward to WilSon too, but don't like that Sonny is trying to tell Will to stay away from EJ :angry:

I wonder what Will will do when he finds out that EJ is not Stefano's son? Especially since Will knows that means that his BFF Chad would be the sole heir.
But would proof that EJ is not Stefano's son be enough to prevent him from getting the DiMera fortune? The most recent will that was exectuted gives everything to EJ I believe. The new will where EJ gets nothing was never filed.
Stefano's lawyer also knows that EJ is not Stefano's son.

As long as the old will is valid ( and the new ones not valid) it doesn't matter if EJ is a Dimera or not. Thats the rules...
