In case anyone in the LGBT forum is interested, there is a big step forward in the coming out story of Will (Marlena's grandson) on the Thursday, February 23 episode of the daytime soap opera, Days of our Lives on NBC.
Hosts/mods - Please let me know if this post would should be moved to the TV forum despite its LGBT focus.

(52,117 posts)even as it is going very slowly (that whole show goes very slowly). The guy who plays Will is very good and so are the actresses who play Marlena and Sami who have been interacting with him.

There is also a soap (GTST) from the Netherlands that has a great gay storyline and there are sites that post it with English subtitles.

(32,818 posts)It seemed to be pandering to some stereotypes, particularly "older man seduces twink" but they're doing a not bad job of it.

(52,117 posts)though, that said, it is a soap story old as soaps for a young person to be seduced by an older, more powerful person. Part of me wouldn't mind seeing an EJ / Will relationship as their chemistry is pretty good.
