I think he will look good with Mia but I do think they did this with the thought in mind to pair him up with Gabi. To me, it seems like they shifted from Will and Mia being the money couple.

I'm telling you that pic makes it look like perfect casting look-wise. Hopefully, he's talented.
I think he looks a little old to be playing Ali Sweeney's son.
Eh. I've come to the conclusion that whoever they get will look too old because Bryan and Ali are both short and still look quite young. They had Will very young so I have no problem with it. They can't keep casting actors like Gerse and Patton if they want to make Will into the character they clearly want him to be.

Having said that, he looks the part and I imagine he's no older then 17. I would be shocked if he is and at least he looks like he will be animated and have screen presence.

Yeah, this guy definitely doesn't seem lifeless. He's not the best actor (based on those YouTube clips) but there's definitely life in his eyes.

Uhhhhh... I hope Alison Sweeney is sitting down or the kid is standing on something because that picture makes this kid look WAY too tall to be the son of Bryan Dattilo, something that was messed up when Chris Gerse was in the role too.

I haven't been that excited about Dylan Patton lately, but I can't say his acting bothered me terribly much and I think he just had a pretty huge reservoir of goodwill with me because Chris Gerse annoyed me so much. Mostly I just thought the writing for the character of Will needed work so unless DP refused to agree to cut his hair when the show wanted him to and that's why he got a pink slip I really can't get that jazzed about this firing. I mean I'd love to think they are changing the writing for Will to make him more of a hellion, but I just don't buy it given the way things are timed with them letting him go around Patton's one-year-anniversary with the show.

And PR, for the love of God, please stop with this talk about Will/Mia or Will/Gabi and "money couple"! LOL. These are freaking teens. There's no "endgame" yet!!! (I hope)

Well, Patton looked better in his previous work then we got on Days so maybe Massey not appearing as good in the clips is a good thing. Maybe we will get the opposite, which is a much better result although that won't happen without better writing for Will. At the very least he may bring a different approach and keep things interesting.

Oh, and that short film was awful IMO. I'm not sure if any actor could've made that script work LOL.

LOL sorry. Just thinking of it from the execs perspective because that is how they deal with things.

It's funny you mention the height because Dylan was tall too. As I said, I didn't mind him but he looked awkward in scenes where he was hugging someone like Mia, Sami, baby Grace, etc because he was taller in them but also quite gaunt so it just looked very awkward (hate to keep re-using that term but that's all I got).

I think we all should start a campaign to get Weiss back on the show as Will LOL. He seems like the perfect choice. I will give this guy a chance though. Marnie Saitta has been had more hits then misses so I tend to think she must have accomplished some improvement here.

JMO, but Dylan Patton played Will like the boy was high 9/10 of the time. He always looked "huh? what? oh, yeah."

On the age issue (that he might look too old to be AS's son), I don't really see a problem, since after all she was a teen mother. It's like the one accurate age depiction on the entire show, lol. Will 'should' be 14. Do we know how old Massey is? (Sorry if it's posted earlier - I only checked quickly.)

You know...I hate to speculate on this kind of thing but I do think he and Taylor looked that way for most of the summer and still do at times. As I said, I felt the different in them was related to who they were interacting with and them being isolated but I will admit they did both look out of it and still do at times.

I disagree. If they were high they would have had some more energy to them. But they were/are both just DOA! LOL

Thanks! Yeah, I just checked there quickly too. No Wikipedia page yet either lol, though I'm sure that will change soon.
