June 23, 2011: When Will Met Sonny

[bigboobedcanuck.livejournal.com]

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.

[Poll #1755421]

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!

I have no idea why I'm excited about this storyline since I've never watched DOOL, but somehow I am.

So far I don't have much to say about them, I'm still very confused who is who on that show, but they're cute :P

I haven't watched this show in 20 years, so I don't know everyone, but I recognize a surprising number of Salem denizens! I'm a such a sucker for a good teen storyline, and hopefully this will turn out to be good, heh.

It had only been about 7 or 8 years since the last time I'd watched it, but yeah, I was really kind of pleasantly surprised by how I knew who almost all the characters were and how they're related to each other. There were some things I needed to look up, but it was surprisingly little. (One of my favorite facts that I discovered when reading up on the storylines: Sami's twins, Allie and Johnny, have two different fathers. Only on a soap opera!)
