Quoting limited to 4 levels deepWhy does Ari "need" to stay with Will and Sonny?
We can go back and forth on this for months. There will still be people for and against WilSon and WilSon + Ari. WilSon is too happy... they are are a token couple... they are boring... they are the new Dannifer. Lots of thumbs down on many of the posts. And nothing is going to change the fact that Nick was murdered and Blake is gone.

This is not like how most of the people on this forum dislike Daniel and Dannifer. Sometimes it seems like some posters are purposely pushing buttons and upsetting fans of Will and WilSon and I for one don't like it. Same goes for the difference between Chandler and Guy.

I wish people would just agree to disagree on storylines and actors when there are obviously two different views rather than saying the same complaint over and over again like Daniel & Nicole's conversations.

Ever since we knew Will was going to confess, I've disliked coming here more and more everyday. Maybe I shouldn't feel offended, but I do.
I'm a huge WilSon cheerleader. I joined twitter so that I could send support to both Chandler & Guy once the switch was made. BUT I'm also a soap fan.

When it was announced that CB was going to be exiting, there was no doubt the soap would find a way to keep Ari with the guys and I hate the direction they chose to make this happen. Why couldn't Gabi relocate to the Chicago office to pursue her modeling career and they all share custody?

I'm one of those WilSon supporters (and I know others) who feels that the writing for them has been slanted so that they always come out on top, and in the process of doing that DAYS has managed to make them boring. I've seen others call for a 3rd party to shake things up for them, and I wouldn't be opposed to that. I've seen them called a "supercouple" (if that word still holds meaning in this age of soaps) and I disagree. Their biggest obstacle since they began dating has been Nick. Big Whoop! The pregnancy secret was a blip because they worked through that in a month of air time. They haven't had a 3rd party actually scheming and putting effort into sabotaging their relationship, whether it be just for the hell of it or because they wanted of them.

As a supporter of this couple, I'm offended because they aren't treated like other couples plot wise. I've seen the argument that DAYS needs to be careful with how they portray them so as not to further alienate viewers or give a negative impression of the LGBT community, but to be honest, the only people who'd form a negative opinion of any story they're in are those who are already opposed to them to begin with.
WilSon is not dull.
WilSon is a supercouple. They don't need to be split up 10 times to be a super couple.
They have angst and I like what's been shown.
They have had third parties try and break them up... the biggest one being Adrienne.
Triangles are overdone and they're boring.
They aren't treated equal, but I think it's with the love scenes.

Okay, I said something instead of just using the thumbs down button. Opposing view stated. ;)
No. WilSon is an extremely popular couple with a huge fanbase (and one that I also happen to like). That said, they are NOT a supercouple.

Supercouples are written with a very specific formula that WilSon does not have. If WilSon were a supercouple, they would have been wrenched apart about 4 times by now, they would not have been married yet (and maybe not even have slept together yet), and they'd be angsting after each other so hard that no one would be able to stand seeing them onscreen without yelling at the TV for them to kiss already, dammit. People would be writing/emailing/tweeting/hiring airplanes with banners begging TPTB for them to be together, and in the meantime, we would watch them day after day (and potentially year after year) in relationships of one kind or another with interlopers whose purpose would be to keep Sonny and Will apart. And mainly, the people keeping them apart would actually be each other for some noble and selfless reason.

Anyway, the moral of the story is that popular, even hugely popular, does not equal supercouple.

They're all dumb as dirt. Abigail, Will, Gabi, Sami, EJ, Kate all are stupid it hurts. And let's not forget the king of stupid.... Eric Brady and his co- monarch Brady Black. Maybe, I am being hard on Eric because Brady is brain dead.

If you think Will is not stupid argue your point. Why get worked up about what other people think about your ship. People are motivated for all sorts of reasons when they slam a character, you just accept it, disagree with it or don't read about it.
Will is not dumb. He's passionate, wants to protect people, wants to make up for not paying for his past crime of a shooting. I love how he said yesterday that he's tired of being treated like poor little weak Will. I felt like the writers were talking to the audience who call him that.
Iheartwilson, I really wanted to go back to your original post, but now I can't seem to find it....at any rate, I get what you mean about the negative stuff in regards to not only WilSon, but (for me anyways)GW specifically.

I really don't like to read that Will is stupid, WilSon is boring because they are not cheating on each other, Sonny sucks because he loves only Will and not Brent/Brian/randomBartender and he's too perfect because he chose Will and the Baby over meaningless sex and climbing Kilomunjaro! (sp?)

The personal stuff is what gets me the most, GW -not even 'Will' - but 'Guy is ugly' whatever! People will always have their opinions and I have mine, beauty is in the eye of the beholder anyways. ;)

I think by now, most people who have read my posts have figured out that I'm a shipper of WilSon, so most things for me are positive when it comes to the couple and their sl and when I watch a show it will always be for what Will and Sonny are doing and most of my posts are based on them. If you don't like WilSon or one of the characters/actors in their coupledom, then there is probably no point in reading my posts.

The point I'm getting at is that I have by now, figured out the haters/people who always say the same thing about GuyW/Will/WiSon/Sonny/Freddie and when I see their avatars, I simply skip over their posts without reading what they have said, that is the best I can do as I don't want to stop hanging out here. Of course, I miss some discussion but it is worth it to me.

And yes, to those who would say so, I do admit that I'm very touchy and thinned skin. :)

Great post. I love WilSon & Freddie & Guy as well.

Who makes the choice of who goes on these promotion tours? And why we never see Freddie and Guy going to these fan events?

I'm not sure how it's slipping past people that posting that you don't like to read opinions that you don't share isn't going over well. This board is for discussing the show, its actors, and its characters. We're not a shipper board, so most opinions will vary. Guy, Freddie, Will, and Sonny are not being treated any differently on this board than any other actor or character. There are opinions that I don't agree with that I see repeatedly, too. Sometimes I take time to debate, sometimes I don't. It's nothing personal. Post or don't post, but these conversations aren't the slightest bit productive, and they're only pissing people off. So stop.

I'm not sure about this one, but in general the people organizing the events choose. The show actually has no connection to it. These particular events never seem to book the younger actors anymore.

But does the show have a say whether their actors participate or not? merci beaucoup lysie!

Y'all. Jordan's secret is November sweeps. Right?
I mean...

If that's gonna be the focal point of the next November Sweeps.... that's just f*n AWFUL.

AND pathetic!
I really hope that Jordan's past isn't the big story for November sweeps. If that's the case then that sweeps month is already doomed. I have a bad feeling that she and Ben are going to be big frontburner characters in the months ahead. I've tried to like her but the character is so incredibly boring. She has no spark, no personality. I like Rafe when he has interacted with other characters but when he's with Jordan I'm starting to reach for the fastforward button. I was excited when CS started because I had read good things here about the actress, but even if the reveal about Jordan's past had happened this May sweeps I'm way past caring. They've done nothing to make me care and root for the character.

Classic Soap Fan

I don't think a lot of the younger viewers quite understand the concept of "supercouple" in relation to soap opera couples. It seems as if soaps have been so determined to jettison the whole supercouple concept that it's now just a generic term for a soap couple that you happen to really, really, really like. A true supercouple has to adhere to a very strong guideline of INTENSE fan devotion (and corresponding front burner status) while haven't nothing but one obstacle after another thrown in their way to keep them apart (i.e. misunderstandings, sacrificing their own happiness for the other, a scheming/crazy ex, a suddenly pregnancy with the wrong person, a sudden marriage to the wrong person, etc.). In truth, a TRUE supercouple typically spends more time apart and longing to be together (either openly or secretly) than they do together. Bless Will & Sonny's little hearts, but I have never once seen longing from them. lol And their road to romance & domestic bliss has been a fucking cakewalk in the park, imo.
