When I did watch Days it seemed like Will didn't seem to mind Nick playing Daddy then he has a problem with it. I am not buying Will wanting to a dad

Another great episode and the scenes with Will, Sonny--so happy those two are back together--and Nick were fantastic; I guess Blake Berris really is
doing his job because I loathe Nick more and more as the days go by. While Nick thinks he has the upper hand, I've got a feeling something fairly bad is gonna befall that homophobic murderer in the not-too-distant future once certain folks find out he's blackmailing Will. And if that character is around--or, for that matter, even alive--come this time next year, I'll be more than a little surprised.

I am not sure why the drama is HAPPENING before the birth of the kid OTHER than they intend to have Gabi eventually lose the child because otherwise, NICK's delusional and "I am the better guy" act so fresh from prison for Murder and kidnapping would have been toned down slightly so that there is more drama when the show begins.

And how on earth is Nick intending to show that Will is an unfit father by saying he commited attempted Murder?!

Hello, Nick!!! You just got out of prison for MURDER AND KIDNAPPING!!! It's not like the court system will take your word, a convicted criminal, OVER Will's a NOT CONVICTED or even charged with a crime CIVILIAN?!

Please, Will, just tell Sonny that you have to fix something, kiss him on the forehead, and go over to EJ. Kiss him on the lips and tell him about Nick. LET EJ and the DiMera's take care of this situation. Nick having any kind of hand, whether UPPER or otherwise, is dumb.

I was so ready to slap Nick through my computer screen. OH Lucus was right and knew it could be Nick...should had listened to your father.

I for once loved how Daniel stood up to Chloe! Is Kristin playing Brady and Stefano & John was good TV.

LOL @ Nick thinking he could possibly get one over on the Bradys/ Kiriakis's.

Does anyone else think Will has more manhood in his pinky finger than Nick? Nick was acting pretty flamboyant and bitchy, especially considering he was in a room with two gay guys.

Maybe Nick is in love with Will secretly and jealous of Sonny

Well, I definitely hope there is more to his prison story than the stabbing.

Precisely why this story has never worked for me since day one. Nick has NEVER sold "macho straight guy" effectively. To turn him into a homophobe is actually kind of laughable.

I would love for Sonny or Will to raise their eyebrow at him and be all like "Girl, please."

Precisely why this story has never worked for me since day one. Nick has NEVER sold "macho straight guy" effectively. To turn him into a homophobe is actually kind of laughable.

Considering that some homophobes turn out to be extremely self-loathing gay people themselves, I don't think it's that ridiculous. That said, I don't believe Nick is gay.

As much as I dislike Nick, he is really the only character making this story interesting for me right now. I generally like Will (and think CM does a nice job), but I hate Tomsell's characterization for him most of the time. He's extremely naive and allows Nick and others to walk all over him. I know I'm supposed to be rooting for Will, but his passivity is getting tiresome. The writers really need to give him a backbone again.

The last two posters have hit the nail on the head. Last summer we saw a scheming, smirking, somewhat obnoxious Will who even managed to get the best of the master, EJ Dimera, for a while. What happened to that Will Horton? This is supposed to be the Son of Sami.

If the writers brought back some of that persona (without the smirking obnoxiousness), it would make the story infinitely more exciting: two cousins scheming to get the best of each other, one cunning (Will) and one demented (Nick).

It would also do wonders for injecting a little bit of spark in the Will/Sonny relationship, showing Sonny, who supposedly is a little older and has a ton of experience, trying to keep Will from going over to the dark side completely.

I think the reason I like this story so much is that had Gabi and Will been left alone and followed through with their original plan, they could have negotiated an agreement peacefully, respectfully, and as friends.

But, if Will decided to be honest with Sonny about his involvement in EJ's shooting, why doesn't Sonny tell Will about Gabi's past bad acts? If Sonny actually wants to help Will and trip up Nick's plan, that would be the way to do it. Threatening Gabi would seem to be the only way, IMHO, to neutralize Nick.

I'm curious to see what the prison aspect of Nick's story will be and how that will play out with the ensuing custody battle. And, I wonder if Gabi will see that Nick is too unbalanced to be in a relationship, or will she just overlook a lot of the red flags even though she will soon have a child to raise?

Of course that's true; what I meant was that it's ridiculous that they are selling Nick as a STRAIGHT homophobe. If the impression is supposed to be that Nick is actually gay and self-loathing, Berris nails it. But that's clearly NOT what is happening. We are supposed to believe that Nick is a macho straight guy homophobe and that's... not terribly believable.

I believed it when it was T, though.

I tried and tried again to watch DAYS....worst written show on television...waste of the great actors.

Fire the writing team and start over like GH did.

Hilarious. Tis funny, that what I thought was strange about the way that Nick was acting when I watched it this morn. He seemed like he was ready to 'come out' to WilSon. And yeah, watching the flashback clips of Will with Ej, he seems to be a far more interesting character when he is playing off of EJ. In fact DAYS should turn Will into somewhat of a 'baddie' character, it would be a bit more interesting to watch him. Will seems almost saintly right now.

And not to burst the 'bubble' right now, but having Will actually want to have sex with Gabi would really light up the s/l right now, and throw Nick for a loop. I really hope that DAYS doesnt go the 'easy' route, and setup Will and Sonny as some 'perfect' people that ALWAYS do the perfect and right thing. Boring.

Kinda agree with some of you regarding the current writing for Will. While I was not at all a fan of the previous regime's version of the character(sorry, but I don't need or want a male carbon copy of scheming, self-absorbed Sami Brady, not to mention one whose barely out of high school and already blackmailing people), I do wish Will would excercise a little backbone with regards to this Nick situation.

As for Will wanting to have sex with Gabi, I gotta say that, as a gay guy who tries really hard not to get on the equality soapbox, I'd be highly pissed to watch possibly the most high-profile gay character to ever hit the genre become bi simply because it's the only way to make him or the storyline he's in interesting. The number of actual gay male characters on daytime can be counted on one hand--in fact, last time I checked it was Will, Sonny, Brian and the guy on GH--so to throw a wrench in that character's DNA by having him play both sides because, hypothetically, the writers can't come up with anything else for him to do would be pretty damn lazy. Hell, as much as I love and adore WilSon I'd rather see them throw Brian in the equation and have all three of them go at it with each other than have Gabi--or any female--in the mix.

There seems to be only one poster who is fixated on the idea of turning Will bisexual and is unable to provide a satisfactory explanation for why this would make the character or the show any more interesting. Why he can't see how annoying and possibly offensive this is to other viewers of the show boggles the mind.

It amounts to saying all gay men could have sex with a woman if they tried hard enough.

I wish he would stop.

I understand that Will and Sonny are icons of some sorts, but should they remain static in the way they are portrayed?

If the DAYS writers last year had Will bedding down Gabi, but not fantasizing about another man while engaging her, doesnt that mean that somewhere on the sexuality spectrum, he is not totally gay? Doesnt that mean that he has a craving for women somewhere in there? When I see Will, I see a bisexual man. After all, the guy is a father to a child. It is a matter of perspective to say he is gay, it is a matter of perspective to say he is bi.

Also, when I see the clips of 'bad' Will being like his Mother, that was a great way to write him. Very interesting, and over the top. Because,
I would hope the debate would never be -- that because Will is an icon, now he has to be a boring, do-gooder, who lives in puppy-dog world with his one-love Sonny.

And I think I am being a nice person, with nice intentions. Sadly there are those who want Sonny gone, and Will to be straight, and that would be wrong. It would not be honest. I am just trying to think like a writer, and look at all possibilities for a character who has become rather stagnant.

Conversely, everyone also knows that I think 'straight' Kevin Fisher should be portrayed as bi. Cause he sure is boring now. I think that Greg R would really like it, and would give some serious Emmy-winning performances. It would liven up his character, and get him off of the bag/stash/bankful of money treadmill he has been on the last 5 years.

The flaw in your argument is saying that because he slept with a woman he can't be totally gay (whatever that means).

In real life, there are many unhappily closeted men (some very well-known examples) who sleep with women AND father children. That doesn't make them bisexual; it makes them afraid to commit to what they really are.

Okay, I'm not one to throw my personal business out onto a public forum, but here it is and here's why I think this particular train of thought kinda fails. Without going into a ton of details, I dated a girl for a couple of years early on in college. Guess what? I was gay the whole time. I didn't do it because I was craving a woman. It wasn't because I was bisexual(I'd had at least an inkling that I was gay since I was 14 years old and other things occurred to confirm that notion before I even started dating this person). Everyone has different circumstances in their lives and sometimes we as people do things that aren't right for us as individuals in order to live up to other's expectations or conform to other's perceptions of how they see us. That's just my experience but I personally don't see Will having sex with a woman as having anything to do with him being bi, wanting a woman, etc. Again, that's just my take on the situation.

Thanks for sharing, both of you, especially Chris from GA.

I think I understand better.

I will say one thing about gay men. They surely do understand and appreciate the time and effort it takes to work out, eat right, and look good. I think that if women were far more interested in the sexual experience they could have with their well-fit husbands; rather than some 'notion' about getting ahead in life, or 'doing the right thing' all the time, then their husbands would be happier in the sack. Oh well.
