Chandler Talks About Kissing Another Guy on TV

Okay Days of Our Livesfans, tomorrow is the day: Our Will Horton is going to kiss another guy!

We know that Will has been struggling for some time with his sexuality and has not admitted that he is gay to anyone – even himself.

But these things have a way of bubbling over – especially when there is alcohol involved.

Chandler Massey, the Emmy nominated actor who does a stellar job in the role of Will, gave the scoop to Greg In Hollywood about what to expect tomorrow.

after drinking some beers and spending the evening with a group of gay guys he meets through his gay friend Sonny (Freddie Smith), Will finds himself attracted to a guy who’s been flirting with him and decides to make a move after getting a little drunk on beer during several games of beer pong.

‘Will is definitely the aggressor,’ Chandler says. ‘I want to be clear: it’s not just Will getting drunk and making out with a guy. He’s been wanting to show that part of himself for a long time. Most of the time he is sober and is restraining himself. It’s like a perfect storm. Going out with Sonny and Sonny’s gay friends, Will feels comfortable. Then the beer pong and he lets go for a second.”

And it is not just an innocent little peck on the lips either.

‘It’s definitely passionate,’ Chandler adds. ‘It’s like a makeout session. It spans two scenes in [Thursday's] episode and keeps going into Friday’s. I wanted to sell it 100 percent and make it convincing.’

So who is the recipient of Will’s affection?

His name is Neil and he’s played by actor Jesse Kristofferson who has a handful of prime-time guest spots to his credit and whose father is singer-actor Kris Kristofferson.

‘We are friends so it wasn’t awkward,’ Chandler says of the kiss. ‘We just said, ‘Let’s do this.”

But don’t expect Will to be marching in any gay pride parades anytime soon.

‘It’s one step forward and two steps back,’ says Chandler. ‘He retreats. But this does mark a turning point because the kiss is witnessed by Sonny. So this is the point of no return.’

While Chandler has had several kissing scenes with Gabi (Camila Banus) on the show, it’s his first same-sex liplock.

‘I’m excited formit and a little nervous about how people will react,’ the actor says. ‘It’s going to be probably more than what people expect. I think it’s overdue
