Talk:Sonny Kiriakis

Is NOT the first openly gay character!
Although there are multiple sources that say Sonny is Days' first openly gay character, this is not correct.

Experienced soap opera journalist Janet Di Lauro points this out in an article on Freddie in ThoughtCo.

Harold Wentworth is an openly gay character on Days that preceded Sonny, appearing from 2001 to 2003. See also this article on the character and interview with the actor Ryan Scott, who played Harold,, which can be read via google here. This article asserts that Harold was Days' first openly gay character in its intro, and confirms it with a quote from then headwriter Peter Brash. — Aliveness Cascade (talk) 21:50, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
