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!

Eeee, I'm so glad this is finally kicking off. :D I've been keeping an eye on the show ever since AnthonyD mentioned it'll become a gay storyline. The fact there's finally enough reason to make a community is exciting!

I have a feeling it'll take awhile to learn about everyone, though.

Yeah, I'm sure there will be a learning curve. But I'm excited! I obviously still love Luke and Reid, but I enjoy having a summer project. Not that I want this to be an obession by any means. Just some fun boys to play with. :)

Oh, for sure. My standards right now are so low for this show. As long as they don't kill the gay characters, or put them into an abuse storyline, I'll be happy.


I guess after so much heartbreak I'm too wary to jump into a new obsession. They're going to have to convince me. :P

I honestly don't really want a new obsession. I'm hoping it will be like Kish, who I really enjoyed, but I wasn't crazy obsessed with like I was/am with Luke/Reid. I just want a fun couple to squee about, etc.

We really do have a low bar at this point. No death and/or emotional abuse, please! We really don't ask for much.
