It's Ok, 'Cause They're Not Gay.

Has anyone noticed how paralleled the relationships are in Days of our lives?

Every couple is compared to another. Particularly, all the "young ones."

Back in early 2000s, Phloe and Shelle were the two big young storylines.
Just going back a few years, Chick (Chelsea and Nick) was always compared to Stax (Stephanie and Max).
In the last couple of years, Phelanie (Philip and Melanie) was paralleled with Stathan (Stephanie and Nathan).
Last year, Chad and Abby's relationship was played out alongside Will and Gabby's . Both ended...the latter for obvious reasons.

Today, after the whole "gay relationship" has become less of a shocking, radical storyline, the writers are trying to bring back that parallelism. Now with a new gay twist!

Today's episode really played this. To demonstrate the scenes I will use letters (W: Will, G: Gabby, S: Sonny, and T: Tad)
Scene1: ST
Scene 2: WG
Scene 3: WT
Scene 4: SG

I feel like I'm in high school bio learning about DNA configurations!!!!! Tad talks to Sonny. Gabby talks to Will. And then they switch. Classic.

The lovely parallel between Tad/Audrey & Will/Sonny AND between Nick/Gabby & Will/Sonny is very obviously flushed out.

Meanwhile, Abigail, Cameron, and Chad are floating around preparing to be inevitably worked into this too.

It seemed that both "Wilson" and "Nabby" reached that point in their relationship at the same time: sex.
However, only one went trough with it. Any guesses as to which?

The straight couple! Obviously. There has to be one couple who just jumps right in and enjoys basking in the afterglow. And there has to be one that comes so close but some stupid thing gets in-between them and ruins everything.

Interestingly, Nabby has moved faster than the speed of light. Whereas Wilson has been developing for months and everyone is saying "SLOW DOWN!!!"

Coincidence? I think not. People find out about the straight couple and think, "eh." and then drop it. BUT the gay couple: everyone who could possibly be connected must be involved and give their input.

Boy and a girl: "oh, whatever. as long as you are happy."
Boy and a boy: "whoa! stop the presses! be careful! i think....."

Complete double standard. It's funny because Nick is the one with the questionable background (you know, prison). Oh, but let's go after the gay guy who owns a coffee shop!

This is probably how it is in the real world. So, Days gets the award for reflecting reality.

The fight between the guys was well-done in that it was a plausible argument and reflected a dispute that is real and could have happened between anyone. You don't have to be straight to fight about ex-boyfriends! or interfering fathers!

Luckily, the fight will end in a make-up...and possibly make-up sex. Very Days.

One more thing. Ken Corday was not very subtle when he released the spoiler that Gabby with have some big news that will affect Nick, Will, Sonny, Rafe, and Sami.

Hhhmmm. What could it be? Gabby is probably pregnant! She slept with Will for a reason. Now that will allow for some serious parallels!Can't wait for this storyline to unfold!

Until then, Days will keep it real, keeping it unequal.
