AfterElton Interview with Freddie Smith; No 'Wilson' in the immediate future

AfterElton.com interviewed Freddie Smith on the Days set last week and he revealed that Will and Sonny will not be paired up -- at least in the immediate future.

AfterElton: We've heard through you and some of the other press that the Sonny/Will coupling is probably not going to happen.

Freddie: I don't think so.

AfterElton: Do you think that's a good thing? That might've been a little too easy...

Freddie: If it does happen in the future -- which it could -- there's going to be so much more... I mean, imagine being friends with someone for years and you finally get together, it would be explosive, rather than just, 'Oh, you're coming out? Well I'm gay. I haven't seen other gay people in Salem, let's be together.' I think the writers are doing a great job. If Will and Sonny end up [together] in the future, great. Who knows.

AfterElton: It seems like Sonny has played a mentor role for Will in alot of ways. Is that going to continue in the future?

Freddie: Yeah. That's why I like how Will and Sonny built their friendship. Sonny does have a talk with him. He hasn't actually -- everyone kinda knows -- but he hasn't said it yet, so it's kind of... he's working on it. He's dealing with it.

A few other spoilerish tidbits:

"The bullying aspect [of the story] isn't going to go any further, but something else horrible happens that has nothing to do with gay bashing."

"There are alot more characters coming to Salem, so it's going to be interesting to see who Sonny ends up with. I open the script everyday and I'm like, 'Ohh, ohh, ohh.' I can't wait to get the scripts for next month."

"I don't know much about [the holiday episodes]. I was at volunteering at a soup kitchen during Christmas so I won't be in the Christmas episode. New Years Eve was a very good episode. I think everyone's going to enjoy it. They have Halloween coming up. Thanksgiving. They're coming up. Sonny's just kind of MIA."

Something horrible happens? Uh oh.

Sorry to hear that Sonny is MIA so often. I like him a lot. I think that new actor, Grant somebody, is going to factor into Sonny's story in a big way.

Thanks karebr.

He came on with so much potential and now he's MIA.

Thanks for posting the interview.

I'm glad that Sonny will be involved in more than just PSA for the gay community. He's an actor who I think can have a lot of range and depth, and can make the gay story line a big deal in subtle ways and not in your face or stereotyped.

I'd be good to see what the "younger" actors can bring to the set. We know that they're capable (Will, Chad, Sonny, etc.) I hope there's more angst ahead
