Will also has a close relationship with his Grandma Marlena (Deidre Hall), his "most-trusted confidante", who helps him through his struggles to come out. She tells Will he is "one of the bravest men I've ever known". Wilson said Will is "very passionate about everything he does". Will has a long-time best male friend in Tad "T" Stevens – played by Brendan Coughlin, who has played opposite Patton, Massey, and Wilson. With his best female-friend, Gabi Hernandez (Camila Banus), Will is the father of Arianna Horton (initially played by twins Harper and Sydnee Udell, and most recently by Sydney Brower). Arianna's birth was portrayed on the show, as was Will's and his mother's. Will is a great-grandson of the show's original couple, Tom and Alice Horton. |

Will begins a romantic pairing with Sonny Kiriakis in September 2012, and they marry in April 2014. Talking about Will and Sonny's relationship, Massey said Will "being insecure" creates drama, but Will and Sonny were "by far the most stable, most logical and loving" couple on the show. Wilson called the couple "great communicators", and "one thing that Will and Sonny have is a sense of humor"; and Massey felt "they complement each other. They cover each other’s flaws and mesh very well.” |

Beginning with the marital conflict storyline that kicked off in the fall of 2014, commentators thought Will was written as if he had had a sudden "full-on personality transplant"; and in January 2015, in the midst of Will and Sonny's relationship difficulties, Will breaks his marriage vows, and has sex with his interview subject, the star baseball player Paul Narita (Christopher Sean) – who turns out to be Sonny's ex, and the son of Will's step-grandpa, John Black (Drake Hogestyn). Sonny leaves Will in August 2015. Will endeavours to fix things with Sonny, and they are on the verge of re-uniting when Will is strangled and written out of the show. |

At Will's revival in 2017, Massey talked about how the character had changed, saying: "He has grown up to be very much like his mother Sami, which is fun to play. Will can be bitchy, like Sami", adding fun-to-play characteristics can be fun for the audience too, saying "audacity can be very entertaining"; and he later told Soap Opera Digest that Will has "all the impulsiveness and scheming tendencies of Sami". In another interview he said Will can be "very sneaky". Massey also enthused about the characteristics of Will that he loves playing, saying "I love how mad Will can get sometimes! And I love that Will can yell at people. And I love that he is fearlessly protective of Ari, his daughter. And he's not afraid to confront and embrace confrontation. In real life that's discouraged – yelling at people is largely discouraged – but on Days of Our Lives that's how people thrive! I like being able to explore Will's wide range of emotions, and really being able to go there in ways that you can't always in real life." |
27321982_1_7 | 27321982 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will%20Horton | Will Horton | Will Horton. Development
In the show, Will cheats death, but is left with total amnesia of his life before – and Massey discussed the challenges of playing a character who does not know his own past or family: "It was almost like starting with a blank canvas again. Amnesia’s often associated with some pretty drastic personality changes, so it was a chance to completely recreate Will’s personality in some sense… and yet I also tried to stay faithful to the kind of things that might be hardwired into his body.” In the storyline, amnesiac Will is shocked to learn that he cheated on his husband, and hates thinking he is the type of person who would do that. Wanting to understand, he seeks out Paul to find out how it happened and finds himself "super attracted" to the athletic young man. Amnesiac Will really likes that Paul accepts him as he is, without expectations of who he was before, and he spontaneously kisses Paul on two occasions. Will realizes he has "no business being married to anyone", and in March 2018 he divorces Sonny, whom he does not remember at all. Will and Paul become a couple, (named "Horita" by fans – a mash-up of their surnames, Horton and Narita). Will and Sonny reunite after Will regains his memories. |
27321982_1_8 | 27321982 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will%20Horton | Will Horton | Will Horton. Sexuality and coming out
When Dylan Patton played him, Will was characterized as straight. Will (aged 16–17) had a girlfriend in Mia McCormick (Taylor Spreitler), and Patton was unaware of any intention to make Will gay. At the start of Chandler Massey's era, Will was also characterized as straight. Massey told Afterbuzz TV "It wasn't till later" and "I guess something that I was doing made them think, 'this guy should be gay! And this will be great!'". Massey explained: "They sat me down and told me 'we have this great story for Will – he's going to be coming out – and we want to let you know that's the direction we're going in." After Massey learned of this in February 2011, uncertainty was cast over the storyline, as Days of Our Lives changed head writers and executive producers. Massey said that, while he was not told whether or not they would proceed, he played Will "with his sexuality in mind". |

In June 2011, actor Freddie Smith joined the show to play Sonny Kiriakis, an openly gay character. Will and Sonny quickly become friends, and initially, the two characters share a "bromance". Massey told Jacobs of We Love Soaps that Will has a close relationship with Sonny, and Will looks up to and respects Sonny because Sonny has encountered hate but remains confident and comfortable with who he is. Massey said Will admires these qualities in Sonny as "they are rare to see." |
27321982_1_10 | 27321982 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will%20Horton | Will Horton | Will Horton. Development
In November 2011, Days of Our Lives announced that Will would be coming out as gay. Both NBC (the show's broadcaster in the USA) and Sony Pictures Entertainment (its international distributor) approved of the storyline. Co-Executive Producer Greg Meng said "we are excited to have the encouragement and support from both NBC and Sony to tell the inspiring story of a young man learning who he is as he defines and creates his relationships with others." Massey told Entertainment Weekly that he was "thrilled" to play Will in an "empowering way that will show his struggle to accept who he is", and hoped the storyline would "inspire others to be true to themselves as well". Days showcased the storyline at the Outfest film festival, in March 2012, where Meng told reporters: "We wanted to do a gay storyline for several years. And we didn’t want to do just something splashy or just do a gay story to be telling a gay story. So we needed to find the right time, when it was organic, when it fit in. Will was the right age … and who better with his family history on the show, all the family connections! It just felt right." Meng said Will's story "goes on and on and on. So it’s not a splash!" He added: "We actually have used consultants on the show to help us with the storyline. We used a man who is a volunteer at the Gay and Lesbian Center. So we’ve actually had input from outside people to help us tell the story really accurately, and also so it would hopefully be helpful to somebody who might be watching, going through the same thing." |
27321982_1_11 | 27321982 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will%20Horton | Will Horton | Will Horton. Development
As the story began, TV Guide's Michael Logan noted Will "is gay and deeply, desperately in denial about it", and that the story would not take a "politically safe route". In the storyline, after Will meets Sonny, he starts rebuffing his then girlfriend Gabi Herdandez's attempts at intimacy; and when she ends her relationship with Will, he has an emotional breakdown and smashes up his aunt's kitchen (the place where Gabi breaks up with him). Massey explained that Will has had a lot to deal with throughout his life, and so Will "has put his sexuality on the back burner and hasn't really dealt with it." According to Massey, Will is "living with self-loathing and disgust over not being able to accept himself", and Will drinks alcohol to make himself feel "less awkward". In the storyline, this leads to Will, boozed-up, kissing one of Sonny's gay friends, a young man called Neil (Jesse Kristofferson) – a first for Will, and a first for Days of Our Lives. |
27321982_1_13 | 27321982 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will%20Horton | Will Horton | Will Horton. Development
In Massey's words, the storyline shows Will's journey from "a young, wet-behind-the-ears kid who felt he was different in some way" to a happily out gay man, who has found "an amazing guy to be with". On the way the storyline deals with the reactions of his friends and family, and how their reactions impact Will (both positively and negatively), and includes one of his best friends rejecting (and then accepting) him, and Will being outed by the media. |
27321982_1_14 | 27321982 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will%20Horton | Will Horton | Will Horton. Revival
In reaction to the killing of Will, "fans were outraged in a way rarely seen before in Days history, not comprehending the purpose of killing a legacy character ... who we watched grow from birth in real time onscreen", according to soap journalist Hope Campbell. On January 23, 2017, news broke that Days of Our Lives had a new headwriter in Ron Carlivati. Then on May 8 news broke of Chandler Massey's return as Will, and Carlivati engaged fans on Twitter with an exclaim of "Whaaaattt??? Will Horton is dead! Or is he! How can this be?! Tune in and find out!" Carlivati talked about his motivation to bring back Massey in an interview with Soap Opera Digest, saying "it seemed like the death of Will Horton was not a popular decision and was viewed as a mistake. I wanted to take a look at that and see if there was a way to repair some of that damage.” Executive producer Ken Corday said: "People hated the fact that we killed Will, but we did. Now we’re fixing it." Shortly before his first new episode in September 2017, Massey chatted about Will's revival with the New York Post, saying: "Soaps have their ways, you know? Will certainly wouldn’t be the first person to come back from the dead. They have a medically plausible explanation." Carlivati later revealed that bringing back Massey was one of the first ideas he pitched to Days, and credited creative consultant Ryan Quan with the idea of using Susan Banks (Eileen Davidson) as the "villain" of the story. |

Eventually his childish behavior subsides. But when a serial killer (the Salem Stalker) begins offing his relatives he gets afraid - and it doesn't help that both his parents are, for a time, suspects! Will (now Christopher Gerse) comes home from school one day with a black-eye, after he has gotten into a fight defending his parents honor. Will does everything he can to get his parents together, so that he can be like "other kids" with a father and mother who live together. Several times it seems that Will's dream is going to come true, but Sami, or his grandma Kate, usually manage to throw a spanner in the works. So when Lucas marries Sami's sister Carrie Brady, and Sami gets engaged to Austin, Will is happy, as he loves both his aunt and uncle, and his parents.

Carrie has an affair with Austin and they leave Salem (the show's fictional town) together, and Lucas moves back in with Will and Sami. Will is pleased to have his parents together once more, and to his delight, Lucas and Sami become engaged. They marry despite Kate's attempts to stop them, and Will is over-the-moon that his dream has finally come true. But his happiness does not last, as crime lord Stefano DiMera (Joseph Mascolo) tells Sami she has to divorce Lucas and marry Stefano's son EJ DiMera (James Scott) to end the longstanding Brady-DiMera feud. When she refuses, Sami's step-dad (Will's "grandpa John") is killed (or so they think). Sami gives birth to twins, and the girl (Allie) is Lucas's, but the boy (Johnny) is EJ's – and this is due to EJ having raped Sami on a night she made love to Lucas. Sami decides that the only way she can protect the lives of her family is to marry EJ, but Will is furious that his family is being torn apart by EJ. He is so upset that he does something very rash, that is only revealed years later. After Sami and EJ are married, Will is brought home to Lucas by a police office who finds him underage-drinking. Will doesn't want to be in Salem any more – and wants to go live with his Uncle Austin and Aunt Carrie in Switzerland. His dad agrees to this, and Will leaves America. Six weeks later, Sami phones Will to tell him that his dad has been arrested for the shooting of EJ DiMera. |

After his dad is released from prison, and his mom divorces EJ, Will (now Dylan Patton, and aged 16) returns to Salem in February 2009. Disappointed his parents are not back together, Will is stunned when his mom tells him she has adopted a new baby – Grace Brady. Sami is lying to Will, as in truth, she got pregnant by EJ, and after divorcing EJ, gave birth to a daughter – and the "adoption" is Sami's way to keep EJ from knowing. Will meets and befriends Mia McCormick (Taylor Spreitler), who like Will, is a new student at school. Mia encourages Will to accept Grace as his sister. Mia and Will start dating, but Will realizes she is keeping secrets. Eventually, it comes out that Mia herself had a baby in secret after getting pregnant by an ex-boyfriend, Chad Peterson-Woods (Casey Deidrick). She gave away her daughter to Nicole Walker (Arianne Zucker), the new wife of EJ DiMera: the plan being that Nicole, who had just miscarried EJ's child (and not told him), would pass the baby off as hers and EJ's. Will and Sami are distraught when Grace contracts meningitis and dies. Will is further hit when Sami tells Will that Grace was his biological (half) sister. Five months later, everyone is shocked to find out Nicole had surreptitiously swapped Mia's baby with Sami's baby (who she knew was EJ's child) just after their births, and has been bringing up Sami's daughter (named Sydney) from the start. Mia learns her daughter, Grace, is dead. And Sami is re-united with Sydney; and Will meets his new sister. |

Ben Weston (Robert Scott Wilson) asks Will to be his best man in his upcoming wedding to Will's cousin, Abigail Deveraux (Kate Mansi). Will calls on Abby at the apartment she shares with Ben, to give her wedding venue information that Sonny had put together when they were engaged. Abby has to go out, but the cable guy is due to come, and Will offers to wait in the apartment. While there, Will reminisces about his own wedding, and calls Sonny (who is in Paris, and a different time zone) and leaves him an emotional voice message, admitting his fault in their breakup, and expressing his unconditional love. Afterwards, Will notices a red necktie in Ben's trash can, which makes Will think of the recent unsolved murders of two local women who were strangled with red neckties (found with their bodies). Ben arrives just as Will is holding the tie and thinking about this. Ben acts alarmingly, and Will realizes Ben is the Necktie Killer. Will tries to leave, but Ben knocks him out. Just as Will is coming to, Ben strangles Will with the tie. Will is apparently killed on October 9, 2015. |

In 2017, it is revealed that Will (now Chandler Massey) did not die when he was strangled. When Will had entered Ben's apartment, he was being followed by Susan Banks (Eileen Davidson), who was planning to abduct Will in an act of revenge against Sami, whom she blamed for her son EJ's death. When Ben slipped out after strangling Will, Susan and her associate Dr Wilhelm Rolf (who had revived Sami's step-dad John back when he was thought to be dead) secretly entered, and Dr Rolf found Will to be unconscious but breathing. He then injected Will with something that would make him appear to be dead. After Lucas and Sami had viewed Will in the morgue, Dr Rolf (William Utay) revived Will. It turns out that Will's family unwittingly buried an empty coffin at his funeral, and Will, who had lost all his memories, was taken by Susan, who took care of him, but made him believe that he was her son EJ. |
27321982_3_8 | 27321982 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will%20Horton | Will Horton | Will Horton. 2009–2013
In the fall of 2017, Sonny and Paul are to marry, and Ben escapes from Bayview Sanatarium, and crashes their double wedding with Chad and Abigail to announce that Will is alive. This is met with a high degree of skepticism, but Sonny, who thinks Will died thinking Sonny didn't love him, really wants to know the truth, and says he can't marry Paul until he knows. Sami returns to Salem to find out the truth. When investigation reveals that the claim that Will is alive originates from Dr Rolf, this ignites hope that it is true. The investigation leads to an address in Memphis, where they find Susan. Will is working at a local bar, and Lucas is the first to see him, but he is inebriated, and thinks he is hallucinating and does not realize he has really seen Will. Paul then sees Will, but is afraid to tell people in case he loses Sonny. Eventually he confesses to Sonny, and Sonny and Sami find Will, and discover that he does not recognise them, and does not believe that they are his real family. But John persuades Susan's partner Roger (John Enos), whom Will trusts, to admit to Will what Susan has done. And Will, with some encouragement from Marlena, decides to return to Salem, to find out who he really is. |
27321982_4_0 | 27321982 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will%20Horton | Will Horton | Will Horton. Coming out story
Days of Our Lives "first gay kiss" was welcomed by critics. Soap journalist Michael Fairman called it "one of the best daytime television coming out kisses", and said the best part was "Sonny sees the whole thing!" Online blogger Perez Hilton described the scenes as "incredible" and "absolutely wonderful". Pascal Parvis of Têtu noted Will and Neil's kiss was "not a little" and said "what could be better" than the serial's first gay kiss lasting two episodes. Both The Huffington Post and Perez Hilton remarked favorably on Days showing a hot "steamy make-out" session as opposed to just a kiss, and Hilton praised the serial and NBC for not "bowing down to bigoted pressure". Sara Bibel of Xfinity said Will and Neil got the "full soap treatment" (as for heterosexual couples) claiming daytime soap operas in the past have panned the camera away during same-sex kisses. There were also jibes at Days of Our Lives belated featuring of man-to-man intimacy: Joachim Ohnona from Pure People pointed out it took more than ten thousand episodes for Days to air their first gay kiss; and Dan Avery of Queerty said the serial "made television history yesterday when it became the absolutely last show to show two men kissing", and "he’ll get some bed scenes by 2016". Entertainment Weekly's Lynette Rice commented "a first gay kiss is no longer much of a milestone on broadcast TV, but for Days of Our Lives it represents the latest effort to remain relevant", and Xfinity's Bibel noted it was remarkable for a show with a reputation for being "socially conservative". |
27321982_4_1 | 27321982 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will%20Horton | Will Horton | Will Horton. Reception and impact
Fairman called Will's coming out story "excellent", "powerful", "emotionally impactful", "relatable", and "believable", and credited Days of Our Lives for keeping it "edgy, dark, and very raw". He said the writers and actors did "a subtle, compelling and beautiful job relating the struggles of young man trying to face and accept who he is, and the ramifications he fears it will have for him with his family and society"; and he also praised the writing for "addressing what parents fear for their child when they come out", saying "a lot of important points were made throughout the dialog." Fairman gave his accolade of "power performances of the week" to Chandler Massey and Deidre Hall (playing Will's grandma Marlena, who helps Will come out), and gave Massey his "Best Overall Performance" of a daytime younger actor in 2012, and praised Massey's performance as "remarkable", "fabulous", and "beyond sensational". Jessica Radloff of Glamour Magazine, said: "In any other actors hands, the story would not carry the same weight. Massey brings a pureness to the role of Will that makes you love him. This is a brilliant young actor who will move you to tears based on a look alone." Massey submitted the episode where Will kisses Neil and talks to Marlena about it to the Daytime Emmys in 2013, and won. Anthony D. Langford of AfterElton.com noted the "terrific chemistry" of Massey and Hall; Rick Nelson of the Star Tribune found the storyline to be addictive viewing; and Hollywood reporter Greg Hernandez wrote "this storyline is a cause for celebration as is this writing and these performances. Bravo to all – and thank you." |

Days of Our Lives executive producer Greg Meng talked about the reactions of viewers to a reporter at Outfest 2012: "The reaction has been tremendous. We’ve had some diverse reaction. We’ve had a few people in some different states who’ve been a little concerned that we’re telling this story. But to balance that the reaction has been enormous – in places we couldn’t even imagine." |

Chandler Massey spoke about the story's impact in a speech to the Human Rights Campaign Atlanta Gala of May 2018: "We received letters from young men and old men [from] all across the world that said they saw something of themselves in Will Horton. I received a letter from a mom in the Midwest, and she said that she had always known that her son was gay but they never talked about it, or they never even acknowledged it, and she said that seeing Will Horton come out of the closet gave them a roadmap to have that conversation for the very first time." |

Will Horton's romance with Sonny Kiriakis was generally well received by critics and the audience. TV Guide said that "while it took 45 years for the show to introduce its first openly gay character (Sonny) and another year and a half to have him find a male partner (Will), the wait was well worth it. This steamy, star-crossed saga has had drama to spare (Paranoia! Blackmail! Impossible parents!), but its real success lies in the fresh, easy charm of these two young men." TV Source Magazine named Will and Sonny Best Couple of 2012 in the Days of Our Lives series, saying "One of the most refreshing things about Will and Sonny’s relationship is it's portrayed just as any heterosexual couple would be. Watching them grow from friends to being in love was one of the highlights of the year for Days." Jeremy Helligar of The Advocate declared Will and Sonny "groundbreaking" because "their domestic stability (and sex life!) is so front-and-center on Days". He compared them favorably with 1992 series Melrose Place, whose gay character Matt Fielding "never got so much as on onscreen kiss", whereas Will and Sonny "are regularly shown in flagrante delicto and basking shirtless in post-coitus afterglow." "How far we've come", he exclaimed. |
27321982_4_6 | 27321982 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will%20Horton | Will Horton | Will Horton. Wedding
Greg Hernandez called the wedding "great, great stuff", and said he was "wiping away tears left and right". He confessed, "I used to get lost in fantasy as a teenager that I would marry a guy" and explained how his imagined festivities were very much like Will and Sonny's wedding. He was thrilled that "with gay marriage becoming legal in a growing number of states" his fantasy "can actually come true for young gay people dreaming about that today", and he said "that is why I will be forever grateful to this soap for giving us this episode, this wedding that was filled with love and supportive family and friends. It’s the way it should be and always should have been", and he "loved every minute of it". Michael Fairman declared it the "best wedding" of 2014, and praised it for being "beautifully acted", with "inspired writing" and "touching speeches", saying "every time we watch this we need hankies". |

When on June 26, 2015, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled to make same-sex marriage a right across all states of the US, soapcentral.com published an article celebrating the Supreme Court's ruling with a look back at the first same-sex marriages shown in USA soap operas: the first female-female marriage (Bianca and Reese on All My Children) and the first male-male marriage (Will and Sonny on Days of Our Lives), saying both were "incredibly special". Commenting on the importance of the couple at the time of Will's revival, Krystyn Burtt of SheKnows said, "The storyline began to play out in 2012, when few states had marriage equality. By the time the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that same-sex marriage was a right in all 50 states on June 26, 2015, Will and Sonny were already married. Days of Our Lives had shown fans how important all types of love stories were and how they deserved representation on daytime TV." |
27321982_4_8 | 27321982 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will%20Horton | Will Horton | Will Horton. Marital conflict and triangle
In Soap Opera Digests "Best and Worst" end-of-year reviews, Will and Sonny got "Worst Marital Conflict" in both 2014 and 2015. Digest criticized the writing, saying "it was not the write stuff". Greg Hernandez said it was as if Will had had a "sudden personality transplant" and "none of it feels true"; and Fairman said the character became "unrecognizable" in his actions. Soap Opera Digest complained that Will "inexplicably succumbed" to Paul's advances and that it added "insult to injury" when it was subsequently revealed that Will had a previous episode of infidelity when off the show. They remarked: "when Will and Sonny tied the knot, it was a groundbreaking moment based in love, which is why it is impossible to comprehend why the show spent the better half of the last two years trying so hard to unravel this historic union". But Cyd Zeigler of Outsports was complimentary, saying the gay love triangle showed the writers' interest in treating a gay couple just like any other, and Fairman said the triangle drove interest in the show, being the best story on at the time; and Hernandez found Will and Paul' "hot together", and their sex scene "memorable and steamy". |

Former Days writer Kola Boof, tweeted "I think the killing of Will Horton is one of the biggest dumbest mistakes in Days history. On many levels." Soap Opera Digest condemned the killing, saying it was "sick and violent", and "it got people talking all right, but not in a good way," and whilst realizing the show needed to boost ratings, "killing off a legacy character like Will was not at all the way to do it." They said "Will holds a special place in the hearts of Days viewers", because they watched him "grow up on-screen after his birth in 1995", and "his sensitive coming out tale in 2012" added to his "cherished status". TV Guide Magazine's Michael Logan tweeted "Killing Will is a dumb-ass move. He's not just a legacy character & LGBT icon, this crazy hot mess was storytelling gold. Insane." Logan expanded in his end-of-year review, saying it was "dead wrong" and "idiotic" and "the murder of Days of Our Lives’ landmark gay character Will Horton via brutal strangulation meant the loss of an insanely fascinating fire-starter who had kept the show spinning for years," adding "many are calling the move homophobic." |

Michael Fairman labelled the killing as "The Worst Decision" in soaps in 2015, saying "to kill the legacy character of Will Horton by having him brutally murdered ... sent a message to the LGBT community, and the viewers, that caused a major negative backlash." Fairman gave the runner-up for "Worst Decision 2015" to Days not having Will's husband upfront at his funeral, "Will’s husband Sonny was relegated to the second row ... Not cool!" Tony S., a columnist at soapcentral.com, said the family photograph of Will, Sonny and Arianna blowing off Will's grave "came across as a promise from someone in charge to homophobic fans ... as, Congrats, you won't have to worry about their kind anymore.'" |

James Lott Jr of AfterBuzz TV said Will's murder was a "jump the shark moment", and "I just couldn't believe it!" He said Will was "a character that has been on since pre-birth", and is "related to almost everyone on the show", and "I mean this is really ridiculous to me: to kill Will Horton!" Lott described his experience watching it happen and thinking "you're ruining the show right now – this is the biggest mistake you could have made," and "as the life was coming out of him, the life was coming out of me at the same time, as a long-time viewer." Lott's Afterbuzz TV colleague Tony Moore called Will's death "gruesome" and "hard to watch", and bemoaned "the whole gay storyline is just going to be done away with." He criticized the writing, in that Will didn't run, cry for help, or fight back. Tony S did too, writing "Will was just as fit as any other Salem heartthrob, but was so discombobulated by a toss to the fridge that he couldn't fight back. Alllll riiiggghhhttt", and "he had a child and husband to live for – to fight for – yet the writers seemed like he couldn't die fast enough." Several commentators criticized the lack of repercussions in the story. Laurisa, a columnist at soapcentral.com, wrote "the people of Salem were no more invested in solving this crime than they were before Will's death." Michael Logan wrote "Will’s death was pretty much forgotten by the people of Salem within days, even by his own mother," and Soap Opera Digest said "the end game" was "nil", and "people were giddily partying to honor Salem's birthday party mere weeks after his graphic murder!" |

Mark J Freeman of Afterbuzz TV talked in strongly critical terms about pandering to viewers who dislike seeing gay characters on TV: "instead of just saying a majority of middle america doesn't like the gay storyline: let's kill them' ... how about being the change?"

Fans expressed outrage via social media and letters to Soap Opera Digest. Social media fan reactions were published in Hollywood Life, and 2paragraphs.com, with one fan saying: "Will Horton was a beacon in the face of bullying and persecution. Today, you expect LGBTQ youth to watch his life strangled away". Soap Opera Digest printed a letter saying: "In my 30-plus years as a Days viewer, I have never been more disgusted by a storyline than the violent strangulation death of a gay legacy character ... As the mother of a young son who was struggling with his sexuality, we were able to watch Will come out, fall in love, and get married ... Now I regret ever encouraging him to watch." |

In another published tweet a fan thanked Alison Sweeney (who plays Will's mother, Sami Brady) for "voicing our disgust" to the killing of Will. Sweeney told Soap Opera Digest: "I was angry. I felt betrayed and hurt", and "this particular story point is something that I just don't agree with and I didn't from the moment they told me. And I don't understand why they did it." Sweeney said: "it breaks my heart that there is no Will anymore." |

Will's revival was welcomed by critics and fans. Kristyn Burtt of SheKnows wrote: "The return of Chandler Massey to Days of Our Lives this fall has been a huge watershed moment for NBC. The character of Will Horton and his love story with Sonny Kiriakis, played by Freddie Smith, was a groundbreaking one on television. It really is a romance for the ages." Hope Campbell of Soap Hub said the killing of Will "ushered in a downward spiral for the soap just before its 50th anniversary that never stopped – until now. Welcome back, Will, and welcome back, Sami;" and soap journalist Janet Di Lauro named the resurrection of Will as the first of five ways Ron Carlivati had "revitalized" Days and made it "better than ever". |

Jeremy Helligar of Queerty commented favorably on the show's portrayal of its gay characters, saying: "Days is making us [gays] look better than we ever have in daytime. We no longer exist just to be sassy and sexless or tortured and tormented", instead Days gay character stories "could play out with straight characters. And when it comes to romance, they get to do a lot more than hug" ... "Real-life gays don’t get this much action on Grindr, Scruff, and Saturday night combined. Days lets [gays] do all the things its straight characters do, including come back from the dead, make out and make love in the afternoon. In some ways, it’s more progressive than Will & Grace." |

The story event of Will regaining his life's memories and his love for Sonny attracted particular praise. Soapcentral.com said "the WilSon magic was back. And it was just lovely. I was so happy for Will as he remembered his life and all that's good about it". Fairman felt Massey's performance "was everything anyone could have hoped it would be and more", and thought viewers may have "witnessed quite possibly Emmy number four heading Massey’s way", and he reported that "many took to social media to say how moved to tears they were by Chandler’s work". |

The Bower of Taste (1828–1830) was a periodical edited by Katherine Augusta Ware in Boston, Massachusetts, in the 19th century. Contributors included Albert Pike, Thomas Edwards and Margaret Snow." The bi-weekly magazine ceased in May 1830. |
27322080_1_0 | 27322080 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bower%20of%20Taste | Bower of Taste | Bower of Taste. History
The magazine evolved from a previous publication, the Spectator and Ladies' Album published in Boston by Ingraham & Hewes. The publishers "announced on December 29, 1827, that their paper would appear the following week in a new form under the management of Mrs. Katherine Ware, and be called in the future the Bower of Taste." "The Bower printed theatrical notes, and its idea of 'Belles-lettres literature' was the usual Gothic, Oriental, or sentimental tale, and imitation of an 18th-century essay, and a tinkling or sonorous reminiscence of [Thomas] Moore or Byron." |
27322080_1_1 | 27322080 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bower%20of%20Taste | Bower of Taste | Bower of Taste. History
Weekly (then bi-weekly after 1828) issues of The Bower included, for instance:
"Tales: 'The Mysterious Bridal; 'The Magician's Visiter.'"
"Essays copied from British magazines, such as 'The Character of Byron,' by Walter Scott."
"Polite essays and sketches in the manner of Addison and Irving: 'On Genius;' 'The Reminscences of a Dandyzette.'"
"Anecdotes garnered from the British press."
"Literary notes. Marriages and Deaths."
"Light editorials: Thanks given that present modes have little tendency to disguise the human form; like artists, people of taste wish to preserve the outline of nature as distinctly as possible 'with due reference to delicacy.'"
"Poetry: translation of 'L'Imitation,' from a Paris paper, 'Le Diable Boiteux.' 'Cupid and Venus.' 'To Sarah on a Faded Rose in a Volume of Anacreon.'" |

Representative was a review of an 1828 production of King Lear at Boston's newly established Tremont Theatre, starring Junius Brutus Booth. "This gentleman is a true disciple of nature's school in every part he assumes. In those scenes where the noble energies of the mind seemed struggling with infirmities of age, he was inimitable. ... We regret that Mrs. Parker should have been appointed to sustain the part of Goneril. She is a pretty woman, but wholly unequal to that task." Some issues featured word games, such as the logogriph published February 9, 1828. Will Shortz explains: "in a logogriph, clues were given for a keyword, from which various letters were selected to make new, shorter words that answered other clues." |

Ware commissioned engraved illustrations for some issues. "We have at considerable additional expense, presented in our last volume, four plates, all expressly designed and executed for our paper, and the encouragement offered by the public, the same number will be furnished for the ensuing year." "Typical of the plates in this magazine are the 'Insane Hospital' drawn by Mrs. Margaret Snow and "The Pirates" drawn by Thomas Edwards. Lithographs by Mrs. Snow were praised in The Bower of Taste for the 'peculiar softness in her style, a smoothness in the gradations of light and shadow, that give her prints the appearance of finished engravings.'" |
27322080_1_4 | 27322080 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bower%20of%20Taste | Bower of Taste | Bower of Taste. History
Some literary historians have seen The Bower of Taste as lacking in innovation, and editorially conservative. For example: "Mrs. Ware ... offered Boston readers a chaste retreat from a vulgar world. Correct stories, character sketches, literary notices, conservative comment on fashion, some paragraphs about the Boston state, and a poetical section called 'The Recess of the Muses' made up the contents. ... The little periodical was, apparently, too delicately sensitive for a work-a-day world and soon left the field to more robust adventurers." |

Although The Bower ceased in May 1830, it was "continued" by another periodical with a new title and editor. "The Amateur is the successor of the Bower of Taste. Mr. [Frederic S.] Hill, the present editor, will, undoubtedly, make the publication what he proposes -- 'a magazine of amusement.'" |

The applicants were religious or meditation associations belonging to the Osho movement. As part of their public relations work, State agencies characterised these associations as a "sect", "youth sect", "youth religion" and "psycho-sect". The government issued several warnings about the sect using adjectives like "destructive" and "pseudo-religious" to describe them, and the accusation was raised that their members are manipulated. The applicants claimed the Government's informational campaign was an unjustified interference under Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights (freedom to exercise religion).
The Federal Constitutional Court, after more than 11 years of consideration, decided that the use of the expressions "destructive", and "pseudo-religious" on the associations, and the allegation that they "manipulated their members", did not satisfy the requirements of constitutional law. However, it found that the Government was authorised to characterise the applicant associations’ movement as a "sect", "youth religion", "youth sect" and "psycho-sect" and was allowed to provide the public with adequate information about it. |

Concerning allegations of violating Article 9 (freedom of thought, conscience and religion), the Court held that "the Government's statements as delimited by the Federal Constitutional Court, at least at the time they were made, did not entail overstepping the bounds of what a democratic State may regard as the public interest." |

Encore fellowships are temporary work placement programs designed to help former private sector mid-life careerists transition into encore career work in the social sector. Similar to how a person might apply for an internship with a business prior to applying for a full-time position, this temporary fellowship allows a person to experience non-profit work first-hand without the long-term commitment of a full-time encore career. |

In recent years, there has been a distinct and growing trend among late-career or retired private-sector employees toward encore careers, or careers in the second half of life in social purpose or non-profit organizations. However, despite the growing popularity of the program, many who would otherwise be either interested in encore careers—either as an encore careerist or as an organization seeking to hire an encore careerist—are unable or unwilling to take part in the movement, often lacking experience, information, or communication between the corporate and the social sectors. |

In 2009, a pilot program centered around using temporary fellowships as a means to reduce the difficulties inherent in transitioning between mid-life and encore careers emerged. The Silicon Valley Encore Fellows Program experimented with ten encore fellows, each of whom having formerly worked in high-level positions in various corporate departments, working for six to 12 months in community non-profit organizations. The fellows worked either part- or full-time for a stipend. Based on these results of this pilot program, Encore.org has decided to continue their program in 2010. |

In 1920, because New Summerfield had become a "boom town," the community established a new four-room brick school building at the present-day location of the school. This school served approximately fifty students. As the town slowly grows, the school does also. In the beginning of January 2000, the high school students moved into their new building, which is located just south of the other campus buildings. The Class of 2000 bought an inlay for the middle of the commons area in the new high school building. |

According to the Arizona state Constitution, the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) has the full power to, "prescribe just and reasonable classifications to be used and just and reasonable rates and charges to be made and collected, by public service corporations within the state for service rendered therein, and make reasonable rules, regulations, and orders, by which such corporations shall be governed in the transaction of business within the state…" In a controversial move, the ACC adopted a new policy known as the Renewable Energy Standard and Tariff (REST). REST required public utilities in Arizona to run a certain amount of their power from renewable energy sources. The move brought into question whether the ACC had constitutional authority to impose such a requirement on utilities. The Goldwater Institute filed suit arguing that the ACC had expanded its powers beyond its constitutional jurisdiction. According to the director of the Goldwater Institute Scharf-Norton Center For Constitutional Litigation, Clint Bolick, "The rules are an unconstitutional power grab by an agency that is rapidly becoming Arizona's fourth branch of government." The Arizona Public Service (APS) utility estimated that for the fiscal year of 2008, the cost of the new renewable energy standards would cost $48.2 million. By 2012, the APS estimated the costs would reach $347 million. But Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard, issued an opinion saying that they were within their constitutional jurisdiction to set a renewable energy standard. |

In June 2008, the Goldwater Institute filed a request to the Arizona Supreme Court to strike down the regulations imposed by the ACC. In November 2008, the Goldwater Institute re-filed in two lower courts where the Maricopa County Superior Court finally accepted Goldwater's request to hear the case. Oral arguments began in June 2009. On September 2, 2009, a Maricopa County Superior Court Judge ruled in favor of the Arizona Corporation Commission. Two months later, the Goldwater Institute filed an appeal. Reflecting on Goldwater's attempts to overturn the ACC's renewable energy standards, Tim Hogan of the Arizona Center for Law in Public Interest, said, "I don't see how investing in renewable energy can be a bad thing for our state." Currently, the appeal is still pending. |
