There has been a lot of buzz this week about plans for the character of Will Horton to come out as gay on NBC’s Days of Our Lives.
Emmy nominee Chandler Massey, who plays the teenager, gave his first extensive interview on the storyline to Greg In Hollywood on Tuesday night and promises that after a slow build since last summer, things will be moving along soon.
“Over the next few months, you’re going to see a whole new side of Will,” said the 21-year-old actor. “From beginning of December through January, there will be no lack of storyline there.”
Will is currently dating high school sweetheart Gabi Hernandez (Camila Banus) but is disinterested in having sex with her since their first time.
Last week, Will had a heart-to-heart with grandmother Marlena (soap legend Deidre Hall) and shared that he was “confused” about the relationship but did not elaborate.
“Will does really care about Gabi and loves her, just not in the ‘I want to have sex’ kind of way,” explained Chandler. “There is definitely love there but you can’t change who you are.”
The characters of Sonny and Will have developed a friendship and are currently in business together running a website. Chandler would not say if the two have a romantic future together.
Since the character of Will was born on the soap in 1995, he is technically the first gay character in the long 46-year history of Days of Our Lives. But this distinction may have been blurred a bit with the introduction this summer of Sonny Kiriakis (played by Freddie Smith) who arrived in Salem already open about his sexuality while Will remained closeted.
