So, when Stefano pressed Sami to divorce Lucas (Bryan Dattilo) and marry EJ in exchange for ending the Brady/DiMera feud, Will flipped. He shot E.J. on his wedding day to Sami, a crime Lucas took the blame for.
2. Girl Happy
Before realizing he was gay, Will dated a couple of girls in high school. Mia McCormick was his first crush, but she was still pining over her ex, Chad. Gabi Hernandez (Camila Banus) was Will’s second love. The twosome consummated their relationship shortly after graduating.
3. At A Crossroads
Gabi stunned Will when she broke up with him, citing his lack of affection. Will erupted, but then found himself drawn to Sonny and his gay friends.
One night, he got drunk and kissed a guy named Neil. In time, and with Marlena’s (Deidre Hall) encouragement, Will came out to his parents and the rest of his family and friends.
4. Sonny Days
When Sonny surprised Will with a kiss, he rebuffed him. Sonny lashed out and accused Will of not being completely out of the closet. A confused Will found comfort in Gabi’s arms and the pair had sex.
Afterward, Will realized he was avoiding his true feelings and told Sonny he was ready for a relationship.
5. Not-So-Surprise Pregnancy
As fate would have it, Gabi ended up pregnant from her one-night stand with Will. The pair, however, agreed to let Nick take responsibility as the baby daddy.
Eventually, the truth came out and Will was named Arianna’s father. Mother and child moved in with Will and Sonny, who served as a bonus dad to the baby girl.
