I'm sorry but I don't trust anything this show does anymore. I don't think they do anything for good reason as of late. Just look at how they got rid of Jack. Was that for good reason....so they could shove Dannifer down our throats? No. I don't automatically assume that this was done for the good of the story. ETA: and that on the heals of MA getting an Emmy nom. This show just makes horrible decisions. Edited by supercool74, Aug 29 2013, 06:22 AM.

But does that necessarily mean Chandler's not putting a spin on things himself? I mean, he's not going to admit he made a mistake in announcing his leaving in that way, if that's what happened. He's not exactly objective about it. |

Frankly, I don't think Will (whatever actor plays him) is a great favorite of TomSell. Will was absolutely the golden boy under MarDar (who didn't give a crap about Sonny) but under TomSell the baby plot for Wilson was just that - plot, and that plot was primarily designed to give Sami angst. The Wilson/Gabi baby stuff wasn't terrible by any means and got screen time, but Will lost a lot of the layers he had under MarDar. Their favorites are Dannifer and Sami. Even EJ has simply become an appendage of Sami, frankly. General Hospital was run into the ground because the producers put their favorites/mary sues central to to show regardless of legacy or fan opinion. Days is not as bad as GH got when it became the Sonny, Carly and Jason misogyny hour, but it's getting there. Days is becoming the Dannifer/Sami Bizarro World, where everyone in town worships Daniel and is completely certain of Sami's innocence. Honestly, I don't expect a great Wilson story with the new actor. I expect Will to continue to be a vehicle for Sami storylines. And whatever happened with Chandler's exit, it was handled in a way that hurt the feelings of cast and crew, pissed off a lot of fans of the show and brought bad publicity down on them. |

I agree. I still maintain after speaking with Chandler (unless he changed his stance after letting this all sink in) that he doesn't believe he was fired (as he was going to be leaving no matter what when his contract was over)...instead he seemed to just wished Days would have shown him the decency to give him at least a a little bit of notice to let him know his stint on Days was over. Instead they seemed to treat him like used trash. Sure Chandler is an actor but he came across very truthful and genuine with things he said and he repeated these sentiments on more than one occasion which shows consistency in how he was feeling.

Where is this spoiler that Sonny is hanging around Brent more I didn't see that spoiler. I really hope they go another route and not the triangle thing again. But I do hope they keep WilSon together and show them as a real couple. Edited by lachelle73, Aug 29 2013, 07:59 AM.

Here is a quote of Ken Corday Re: Chandler Massey " KEN: Chandler is a natural, first of all. He plays that character so well as a conflicted man having to go through all the things he went through with his family. And to his credit, he has had a wonderful, wonderful co-star in Freddie Smith, who plays Sonny. It was a perfect storm – a great story idea, a great actor who was able to do it. Chandler deserves all the kudos he has gotten, and it was a well-deserved Emmy this second time around. I wish he would stay. I keep telling him to change his mind, don’t go away. But there comes a time in every young actor’s life when they are pretty much at the top of their game, or getting there, and they to have to take time for themselves to figure out what’s next. I take my hat off to him. The door will always be open here to Chandler. We are not going to recast Will, but I wish him well in the big pond" This interview was shortly after the Emmys, and based on this interview, I don't think they were blidedsided. |

Any actor's contract can be terminated after each 13-week cycle. A few vets might have the 26-week cycle though. Edited by Jason47, Aug 29 2013, 10:16 AM.

So really none of them are safe at this point so if the New Will and Sonny don't work would the backburn them or try another recast or, I am concerned for Freddie/Sonny he is good and I hope they give him a good story. |

I'm beginning to think there is no Will recast. So many things have been coming to the surface that I'm going to have to see it to believe it.

You're talking like Ken has a say in who's hired and fired. |

Given that Chandler is on the cover of the Better Living book that is being pimped in a few weeks and he was scheduled to attend some signings, the suits at Days really did not spend much time thinking about the ramifications of letting him go four months early. |

To be honest, it's all confusing to me too. Chandler said at the Emmys that he would probably leave. No one was surprised and I doubt TPTB were either. Chandler has given several interviews since then saying he supports a recast and wants WilSon to continue. Thus encouraging his fans to be more accepting of a recast and to keep watching the show. This benefits Days. Apparently Chandler had asked to be let out of his contract early as well. So I guess coincidentally Days found a recast and Chandler was let go early? Chandler said he didn't expect Days to find a recast so soon, but according to Jason47, new hires can be found quickly? It's just weird. It's hard to decipher what's real in the media & the PR spin. Who knows what really went down. I'm starting to think that Chandler had a good idea or knew he'd be "let go" last week. It makes sense. Maybe in exchange for Chandler giving those interviews saying he supports a recast, Days let him go early and in a way that makes fans sympathetic for Chandler & to give him media buzz. Doesn't sound like he was that upset at the fan events as most people would be (even if he was taking the "high road") Plus he keeps saying that it worked out for the best. :shrug: Regardless, I'm surprised more WilSon fans aren't upset at his desire to ditch Days earlier than expected. Makes him look like he doesn't care about the show or WilSon and just wants to move on to new adventures. And Chandler did say the money is what he would miss the most, even if it was in a joking manner. I like Chandler and appreciate his time on Days, but this whole exit is strange. In some ways it just makes both Chandler and Days look bad :hmmph: ...but it generated media attention. Who knows. ETA: As far as Chandler going on about focusing on school, I'd have to see that to believe it. And I certainly don't blame Chandler for wanting to further his acting career and hope he lands something good. He's very talented. Edited by Ireland98, Aug 30 2013, 03:43 AM.

He didn't ask to be let out early. He was told that if they find a replacement they will let him go early. The fact is what they did was Petty, waiting until he was done taping for the day telling him it was his last day. The boy will have a bright future, I think he made a smart decision to leave the show, before it sinks. The way they are going I will not be suprise if NBC decide not to renew the show. |

I guarantee he does start this week but Im sure the show will keep the name under wraps like they did with Casey Moss. |
