will_sonny | June 23, 2011: When Will Met Sonny

All right, let's get this party started! If you're like us, despite being screwed over by pretty much every gay soap storyline in the past, you're still unable to resist a shiny new couple. Hope springs eternal that this gay soap couple will not end tragically. Come on, universe! You owe us one!

Before we dive into the episode, a poll.

All right, ready, set, discuss!

The awesome

amelialourdes has set up a high quality YouTube channel for Will and Sonny! The HD takes time to process, so we'll likely use Anthony Langford's clips at first, and then edit watch posts with the widescreen clips when they're uploaded.

I'm really excited that both Will and Sonny are legacy characters with strong family ties to Salem. This bodes well, I think! Trying to keep expectations low, but this was an excellent start, IMO. I haven't watched Days since the late '80s/early '90s, and I have to say Justin and Adrienne are looking fantastic! Nice to see them again. I've always enjoyed them both on other soaps over the years.

So what do you think of Will and Sonny? Are you drinking the Kool-Aid like we are? So tasty!
