doesn’t look like a Justin/Adrienne production. And that name doesn’t suit him. I can’t help but think of mafia types with that name.
for 19 years. When we were young I asked him what I’d call him when he got old and grey and was no longer a "Sonny." But now, it’s just as natural as any other name to me.
He looks pretty good to me. I take it that his comment about not having told Victor yet is that he’s gay. And it looks like Will’s "disinterest" in Gabby is the start of his homosexuality too. Although I don’t know if I’m going to able to buy that. Every gay person I know (admitedly, not a lot), even those who had married a heterosexual earlier in their life, knew from a very early age that there was something "different" in their lives and they were well aware of their sexuality by the time they reached their teens. We haven’t even seen an inkling of that in Will. Heck, look how into Mia he was. Bad writing, IMO…very bad.
mainly because he didn’t appear the least bit nervous or unsure of himself on his first air-date. I liked the camaraderie between him and Abbey, and he is very cute to boot. It would appear that his ‘coming out’ is relatively new to his parents as well, since it was made known that Justin and Adrienne have not told the rest of the family that their son is gay, which is understandable to me. I like my first impression of Sonny, and I think he will do well with this family and this story line.
As for Will not being believable, at first I thought the same thing. However, most young people have an extremely hard time admitting how they truly feel, but NOT knowing it. Just because Will has never given any indication whatsoever of his sexual preference does not mean that he doesn’t know now, nor that he has known for quite some time, that he is gay. Also, just because he had a meaningful relationship with Mia and now with Gabi also is not something to make me disbelieve that he is suddenly becoming aware of his choice. I know for a fact through a very dear friend of mine that young men and women are in denial themselves, and try to make their lives appear as normal as possible rather than concede to or admit to the fact that they are gay, so I can definitely understand now, more than at first, why I think this can be a beautifully written story for both of these actors, whether straight or gay, if it is written properly and acted out sincerely, showing the doubts, fears, anxieties and secret lives these two young men might have to face in the months ahead, and I for one am a little more anxious now to see this story line develop. Just, please, please, please, no raw or passionate sex scenes …. that I do not care to see.
of my Father-in-law. He’s now 80, but he was the baby of his family. Everyone calls him Babe, except me. He hates being called Babe, but the name has stuck and every now and then my mother-in-law calls him Babe and I see him cringe–kind of makes me laugh. I don’t think he started insisting on being called by his name, Clarence or Clancy, until he was about 65 so he is still Babe. That’s probably worse than being a "Sonny."
their kids Moonbeam and Starchild? I can see them rebelling against their folks and now being in the corporate world nowdays with those names…LOL!
I think he is a good cast for Adrienne and Justin’s son. I love the scenes with him and Abby. I think he was a natural for this character and I think he will do a good job. I am excited to see this new SL develop with him, plus his chemistry with Victor is going to be GREAT!
Agree…
I dated a guy in high school and when we broke up he was dating my best friend and fixed me up with his best friend. He’d always ask the question of our group "what would you do if your best friend told you they were gay?" All of the guys would be "I’d tell that queer to get away from me." Having had a brother who was gay I just said that he was still my friend and I’d now know more about him. It was a few years later that he came out to me and I understood him dating my best friend and fixing me up with his best friend was a way for them to go on dates and still be accepted.
In our family my brother’s sexual preferences were never discussed. He grew up in the 50’s and was 19 when I was born. From what I understand it was always obvious that he was gay but I never saw it. I just saw my brother but after he died I’d found some letters written by a guy in France. Then I talked to my parents and my mom blamed a friend of his, my dad just shook his head. They didn’t turn their backs on him and he lived at home until he died at 39 but it was a family secret. I knew or suspected but it wasn’t confirmed until after his death. Then after my parents died I was able to talk to aunts, uncles and cousins about it and they felt relieved that I finally knew and I learned a lot more about my brother from our talks. I respect my parents for not turning their backs on him as most did back then but wish they were more open about it. I guess it’s just the generation and even in the 70’s when he died it was still a forbidden topic in society. I should mention when I was younger my brother did have a girlfriend and was talking marriage but she died. He never had another girlfriend and I always thought it was because his heart was broken but I now realize she was his way of "fitting in".
