"Days Of Our Lives" fans learned yesterday that Will Horton is returning. However, Guy Wilson will not be the one reprising the role. His predecessor, Chandler Massey, was asked to come back instead. How does the actor feel about the "old Will" coming back? Are there any hard feelings?
Will Horton returning
"Entertainment Weekly" reported that the "old Will" is coming back to Salem. He will be seen again in September. Fans are curious how Guy Wilson feels about this since he was the one who replaced Massey on the NBC soap opera.
Guy Wilson's history on 'DOOL.'
After Massey had left "Days Of Our Lives," Guy Wilson was chosen to be the "new Will." He began playing a role in 2013, but only lasted two years on the soap opera. In his exit storyline, Ben Weston (Robert Scott Wilson) murdered Will. It was an emotional storyline that affected his husband, Sonny Kiriakis (Freddie Smith) as well as Paul Narita (Sean Christopher).
Actor responds to Chandler Massey's return
There doesn't seem to be any hard feelings over Chandler Massey coming back to "Days Of Our Lives." Even though Guy Wilson was the most recent actor to play Will, he seems happy for his predecessor. On Instagram, the actor expressed his joy that Sami Brady's (Alison Sweeney) son was being brought back.
He called Will one of the most important characters in the history of soap operas. He also expressed his happiness that Chandler Massey was asked to reprise the role. There does not seem to be any jealousy or bitterness over the casting decision.
How will writers explain Will's return to Salem?
In the soap opera world, characters don't always stay dead.
On "DOOL," Stefano DiMera (Joseph Mascolo) was resurrected several times. The character of Will Horton will be coming back around the same time as Sami Brady.
This is causing some "Days Of Our Lives" fans to wonder if Sami knew her son was alive all along. Since she has been in California and stole the DiMera fortune, it certainly gave her the resources to keep her son hidden.
The question is why would she do such a thing and why bring him back now? These are questions that fans are asking and hopefully, writers will come up with a brilliant storyline to explain it all.
What do you think of Guy Wilson's reaction to Chandler Massey returning to "Days Of Our Lives?" Are you happy with the casting decision? What do you think will happen with Will Horton and how will his return be explained?
