Soap operas are built on super couples, and “Days of Our Lives” is no exception.
As the years roll on, a new generation of super couples has been born on the show.
Of course, there is one ground-breaking super couple that changed “Days of Our Lives” forever.
Will Horton and Sonny Kiriakis became the soap’s first-ever gay couple (viaChicago Tribune).
Will is the son of Sami Brady and Lucas Horton (viaSoaps in Depth).
The three have remained a solid co-parenting unit since that time.
A few years later, Massey opted to leave the soap.
The distance didn’t work for the couple and things began to fall apart.
When Will finally returned to Salem things with Sonny were already strained.
Will and Paul had an instant attraction to each other which led to Will cheating on Sonny.
Sonny eventually had enough of the rocky romance with Will and decided to move to Paris.
The ceremony ended abruptly and Sonny and Paul jetted off to see if they could find Will.
Upon finding Will alive (with Chandler Massey back in the role), Sonny and Paul split.
Sadly, Will remembered nothing about his life in Salem or his love for Sonny.
Instead, Will found himself falling for Paul.
Sonny eventually agreed to a divorce and Will and Paul were free to explore their relationship.
The two were married by Will’s grandmother, Dr. Marlena Evans, from their hospital room.
