Yesterday, Salem’s teen set took to the “lake” (i.e. sand poured in front of some fake bushes) for some 4th of July fun, and thousands of housewives around the country FELL OUT OF THEIR CHAIRS when young Will took off his shirt. Wait, WHAT? Will? Weird little Will? Sammy’s bug-eyed little boy? HAS A BODY? IS HOT? IS SUDDENLY THE HOTTEST BOY ON THE SHOW? How has he been hiding THAT? This is the thousandth recast of Will, of course, and for the longest time my gaydar has pinging like crazy over this kid, Chandler Massey. I was sort of hoping they had cast him for an upcoming “Will Comes Out” storyline. It would make so much sense for Will to be gay. If that’s the case, and he’s going to be Days first gay character, all I have to say is: HERE! HERE! Well done Days! I think you have found a worthy successor to the As The World Turns/Van Hansis mantle. COME OUT, WILL! WE LOVE YOU! I’ll start making your float for next year’s gay pride RIGHT NOW! (via Groopi)
