You know, I've always felt sorry for Gerse. I never thought he was bad (hell, Will was pretty much just an accessory for Lucas & Sami during his entire run), but he had to entire those awkward teen years under the scrutiny of psycho Days fans who had nothing better to do than slam a kid for being a kid in his awkward years. Patton, however, was only cast because he was pretty and TPTB obviously thought he'd made their tween demo wet their panties.
I'd like to know what went down here. At least it wasn't a Passions actor coming on board. ;)

Well, at least those wretched PSNS "actors" are full grown adults. :tounge:

and to the person who said that Will's character is way to bland to be Lucus and Sami's kid.... so true... but then again, he was raised by Carrie and her equally boring hubby Austin.
No he wasn't. He only lived with Austin and Carrie for about a year, when he was already in his early teens.

The new actor looks older than Dylan Patton. It's going to make the Will/Mia scenes even more awkward.
Unless Will and Mia are no longer the "money couple." I believe things are going to be changed and Mia will end up with Chad while Will ends up with Gabi.

I thought Dylan was unbearable to watch on screen. I hope this kid is better.

Very interesting being involved in a new story...wonder what is coming up???
I'd love it if he went psycho and killed Mia. :)
It would be the perfect crime cuz no one would notice she was missing :lol:

DAYS Recasts Will

Sami and Lucas' son is about to look a whole lot different. Dylan Michael Patton is out and Chandler Massey has been hired to replace him as Will. "They just felt they needed to make a change with the story coming up," says an insider. Patton had just joined the soap last February and will last air in mid-January 2010. Massey will take over later that month.

I started thinking of Dairy Queen's dipped cones after Matt made his post.

I never really had a problem with this actor. He never blew me away, but he was all right.
But if they are planning on giving him a big storyline, I would welcome a more charismatic actor and writing.

The one who REALLY bothers me is Mia. I think that triangle with Chad has a LOT of potential, and could have been the next great teen storyline. But that actress is painful to watch on screen. Please let a Mia recast be next!

I think the primary problem with the Mia character is that she's just so pitiful. Even when she tries to be strong, she just comes across as pitiful. It's like a bundle of dynamite, the fuse is lit, and instead of going off with the bang you'd expect, you get a flag that pops up that reads "Bang". Just pitiful.

I thought Dylan was ok but lacked the presence and charisma required of a romantic lead. If they're serious about a Chad/Mia/Will triangle, the new guy needs to have a more forceful personality.

I hope this kid has some more life to him ... and I really hope that Mia isn't going to be around much longer.
