There's been some teasing for quite a while that something was going to eventually tear Will (Guy Wilson) and Sonny (Freddie Smith) apart on Days of Our Lives-and the thing that could rip the couple to shreds has certainly happened.

Many assumed that the arrival of Sonny's ex, Paul Narita (Christopher Sean) in Salem would bring Will's husband to revisit his past and wind up in bed with his former love-but in a surprising twist of event it was Will who had a steamy romp with the ball player in his hotel room. And for now, the secret is safe-but it won't be for long as the truth is sure to eventually come out and cause some major destruction in its wake.


Here are five theories for how the saga will continue from here:

1. Paul will learn who Will is and use it to split him and Sonny up

Eventually, Paul is going to figure out that Will is married, and when he realizes the man he hooked up with is the one his ex is married to, he could try to find some way to use it to his advantage. If he truly wants to free Sonny up, he needs to destroy the marriage. Therefore he could use the fact that he didn't know who Will was against the writer, tell Sonny what happened and break up the marriage-in the hopes that Sonny will appreciate his honesty.

2. Paul will learn who Will is and quickly make sure the truth never comes out

On the flip side however, Paul is still very much in love with Sonny, and likely doesn't want to hurt him. If he realizes he slept with Sonny's husband, he could quickly end all contact with Will so there's no risk of anything happening between them again.

3. Paul And Will will continue sleeping together without knowing who the other one is-and the truth will come out after Paul reveals to Sonny he has a new beau

The attraction between Will and Paul was undeniable, and Will still needs to continue meeting with the superstar in order to finish his article. Over time, the two could continue sleeping together-and an unsuspecting Paul could eventually tell Sonny he found a new beau in town-and reveal that his beau is a reporter named Will.

4. Derek the bell boy will expose everything to a tabloid

Derek the bell boy has very clearly made his interest in Paul known, but has found himself rejected. He also managed to see Will coming out of Paul's hotel room and putting his wedding ring back on, knowing that something happened between the two. He could find some way to get proof of the affair between the two and sell it to a tabloid. Not only would it benefit him by giving him money, but it would out the man who rejected him, destroy Will's professional scoop and credibility, and of course rip Will and Sonny apart as well.

5. Derek the bell boy will find a way to blackmail Paul

The bell boy does have an attraction to Paul-and could try to use what he's witnessed to his advantage. Paul could soon find himself in bed with another man if Derek blackmails him into sleeping with him as well, or risk his secret being leaked to the world.
