I think, like they he did with Rafe and Roman, Stefano had Will replaced with a double. He did it around the time Will was recast so it wasn't RealWill who cheated on Sonny and did all that crazy stuff when Guy was in the role. Lord knows why Stefano had Will replaced.

It would actually fit very well because Stefano also sent Chad back to destroy Sonny's business and that worked. I could see Stefano doing the kidnapping Will thing. It would explain Will's complete personality transplant after EJ died.

I gotta be honest, I'm not sure how I feel about the prospect of either Will (Chandler) or Sonny (Freddie) returning. The show screwed up so royally last year that I can't trust them.

Well,I'm over the moon over Freddie and the possibility of Chandler returning.I can't wait,but I doubt that it will be on a regular contract it may just be for a short stint.I wonder how Ken Corday will spin this since he said that who ever is dead will stay dead.So I assume that the DiMera's will be responsible for this Guy's Will was the evil twin and Chandlers Will was kidnapped?

Regardless if they're back, it's not going to be the same. They hurt a lot of fans so much and even though I won't be watching because Guy Wilson isn't coming back but I'm happy for you Chandler's fans.

Well,I liked Guy,and I do feel like he was giving the short end of the stick.I do believe that the Wilson fans were thrown under the bus,but the reason why they could be bringing back Sonny & Will,because of the public out cry?

I think the writers, etc are trying to keep their head above water and the fact is CM did bring in the awards and I think they liked being ahead of the game which they were at the beginning! If DOOL is going to survive they need to be front runner and change the way daytime tv is seen. The calibre of tv has increased by so much that people are demanding more and the soaps are now in the position that they will need to step up. i'm not sure how they would pay it if CM was to return and I do hope they give the credit due to GW (whether you liked him or not he was Will). An evil doppelganger would be hilarious but when Will went darkside he did it like Sammy and seemed to do more damage to himself than really do anything that diabolical.... I don't know if CM would come back but he wouldn't be the first who moved and then came back!

I read a rumor on another message board that Days had pressured Corday into bringing back Chandler as Will,possibly as a condition of Days renewal.Because there was a huge amount of backlash from Will's death was spilling over to NBC and Sony.

I could be reading too much into it, but I just noticed that Chandler has not posted on twitter since Jeff Ballard's tweet. He didn't even promote an episode of a Disney show he was recently on. Although it could be for other reasons, such as doing a social media break, I just thought the timing of it was an interesting coincidence.

now it's official Soap Opera Digest is confirming the news that Freddie Smith is returning to Days of our Lives as Sonny Kiriakis. Smith tells Digest, "I am beyond excited to be returning home to Salem. Sonny is back, and it's going to be amazing!" The actor will first air in July. As of now, there isn't any word on his story or how long he will be sticking around Salem. More news as it develops. link

I think it is highly unlikely that Chandler will return to Days. He's having no problem landing much better jobs. He currently has four movies coming out and just appeared in an episode of Bunk'd a few weeks ago. Why would he go crawling back to the crappy soap that fired him?

I'm 99% sure that Chandler is not returning to days, but 1% of me is still holding out hope. That 1% of me has been scrutinizing this picture that was recently posted on Chandlers instagram http://instagr.am/p/BD_-CKLzdyA trying to convince myself that the other person is Freddie Smith. Like, why was the person's face out of the frame, was it intentional to hide said person's identity because he can't be seen with Freddie or it would give something away? Also, the plaid is totally Sonny, and it also looks like there is a little bit of stubble that also fits him (which could also just be a shadow!). But, it looks like the person has a pierced ear, and there are fly aways that makes it look like the person has long hair, so most definitely not Freddie. Also, even if it were Freddie, that wouldn't necessarily mean anything, as they are allowed to be friends without being on Days together. Sorry, but this is what happens late at night when I can't sleep, so forgive me for being a nut job!

He has the lead role in the movie. From IMDB: Aquarians is a wintertime drama about a seminary student who returns to his hometown and is compelled to reconnect with his estranged brother.

Like I said, I was crazy and couldn't sleep and didn't really think it was Freddie Smith, but was really trying to find a reason to believe it was.

Hmm. If Freddie is only returning for a short time, why would he come back? My first thought would be a Paul exit story. In some ways that would fit, if the show doesn't really want to keep Paul. On the other hand, they haven't done much with him recently (I think) so why go to much effort for an exit story?
I'm not sure what Freddie is up to these days. Would he have any interest in returning to DOOL on a more permanent basis? I wonder...

Well DOOL is changing its shooting schedule so we don't really know what will happen once the scenes they have already shot have been broadcast. Soaps frequently hide information or misinform to keep things secret. It could be that Freddie will be back for another year or only for 5 eps but the show would never really tell us ahead of time. If Chandler was coming back to play Will, they would want to keep that completely out of the press otherwise the storyline would have no impact.

You know I was thinking the same thing.I wonder if Christopher is being let go?So they've asked Freddie to come back and help wrap up his storyline.Also it was announced last week that the POP Network has dropped Days from their lineup,and people are wondering how will this affect Days viewership.As far as Freddie goes I know he directed a short horror film last Halloween.Also him and his girlfriend have relocated from Los Angeles to Florida I think for some kind job opportunities,so if Freddie would agree to return to Days it would have to be on a recurring contract.

No it wouldn't. When Kassie DePaiva was on contract, she was living in New York and Melissa Reeves permanent address has been Tennessee for a few years now.

That's very true,and I've should been more clearer in what I was saying.I should have said IF Freddie wants to return full time,in the end the choice is up to him.

Christopher and Freddie were at Emmys last night,looks like Freddie noticeably lost weight, Freddie also hinted a lot of "love making" when he returns,though maybe he was just in a good mood and was joking
