Spoiler Alert: What happens when Will’s mom, Sami, finds out he’s gay on “Days of Our Lives”

Will Horton, played so superbly by Chandler Massey, has a most wonderful confidant in his grandmother Marlena who has helped her grandson come to terms with being gay.

But his relationship with his mother, the self-absorbed Sami, is not as close or as trusting.

Sami will find out about her son’s sexuality soon and the actress who plays her, Allison Sweeney, talked to MichaelFairmanSoaps about how it all goes down.

Here is an excerpt (and for heaven’s sake stop reading NOW if you don’t want to know!):

Says Sweeney: “Sami does not say anything, and she runs away.  What I love about Sami is that she loves her son so much, but she always seems to say the wrong thing.  She always puts her foot in her mouth, and if it’s possible to mess up a situation, Sami knows how to make that happen.  I think this is one of those times.”

“She knows how important it is, and it is so fun for me, because I love working with Chandler so much and we have such a fun dynamic.   It was such an open and vulnerable moment when Will tells Sami, and Sami goes, “I got to go,” and fled the scene.”

“I think she goes through those Sami things, that are probably very common, in other ways too.  But for Sami it’s very normal.  She thinks it all because of her, and what did she do? Chandler described all of Sami’s flaws when he described how his character is affected by her past,  and she is not wrong to wonder how she played a role in this.   She has to work through all those feelings and talk to all the people in Salem about it.  She ultimately makes it about her.”

“I think in her heart and because she has Lucas, (who is her hero) she will come crawling back to him about how can she make this right with Will.  And of course, that is a whole other beat of the story. There is a fun Sami and Kate scene, too where they are at odds about work, once again, but it’s so great.  There is this awesome moment where Kate looks at Sami and says, “Now, seriously.  Forget about that.  We are going to talk about making things OK for Will.”  And the two of them set aside their cat claws and take care of Will and have that conversation in a very similar Kate and Sami way.  They connected on that, and then at the very end, it’s like, “I am still going to torment you.” So, it was like, “Game on!” Lauren Koslow (Kate) and I love that opportunity to play that.”
