Will and Sonny have a moment in the coffee house that raises eyebrows on “Days of Our Lives”

Will is back after being away from the show for about a week.

He had missed the opening of Sonny’s new coffee house which was odd and tells his pal that his car battery had died.

I think it was probably a matter of Chandler Massey being on vacation.

Anyway, Sonny gives Will a ‘free coffee for life’ card but teasingly pulls it away from him.

This leads to a playful little moment that includes a moment where the two young gay men, just friends up to now, lock eyes. It signals an attraction that would be awfully cool to see explored!

Will’s dad, Lucas, walks in just as the moment was happening (of course, everyone is always walking in on everyone at just the right/wrong moment on DOOL in order to move things along very quickly).

Lucas says to Will when they sit down: ‘If someone else saw what I saw, they might get the wrong idea. I just need you to know there are people out there who might jump to the wrong conclusions. I know you’re straight, there’s just something about the way Sonny was looking at you.’

Sonny laughs and tells his dad: ‘I think you’re over-reacting. Sonny’s not an ax murderer dad, he’s just gay and he’s a great guy.’

Lucas says: ‘I have no problem with Sonny or anyone else who’s gay. I’m just saying if you choose to make it public, you’re going to run the risk of being treated like a second-class citizen by a lot of people. … It’s 2012, we probably shouldn’t be having this conversation anyway, it’s just I care about you and I don’t want to see you get hurt.’

Of course, Will’s other grandmother – the evil Kate who is Lucas’s mom – overhears the entire conversation – of course.

After Lucas leaves, she joins her grandson and says: ‘He was talking about Sonny, right? The fact is he could have easily been talking about you. Am I wrong here? And that’s what made you uncomfortable. Will, don’t worry. Your secret is safe with me.’

Somehow, I doubt that!
