Will this news allow DAYS the time it needs to reunite Sonny and Paul (Christopher Sean)?

DAYS Executive Producer Ken Corday tells Soap Opera Digest, "Sonny returns to Salem to help his family though tough times, and his relationship with Paul grows. It's also great to have Freddie back. It's wonderful for the show. Paul will be coming more to the foreground with Sonny back in town."

Gay love returns to Salem!
