Freddie Smith Back To DAYS

the only thing that I can see is maybe a little thicker eyebrows, but that guy looks enough like Freddie to be a stunt double.

I'm not trying to speak for Jason or anything, but I think his participation in this thread (and the way in which he is participating) basically confirms that it really is Freddie in that picture, making any speculation to the contrary pointless. I've never seen him purposely try to perpetuate unfounded rumors.

Freddie should consider a second career as a purse snatcher, since so many people would look at him in a police lineup and say it wasn't him. :blulaugh:

How long was he gone for?

I sure hope they don't try to bring Will back. Wouldn't Paige and Serena have to come back, or be alive, as well?

He left in March and came back for a few episodes in May, and those episodes aired in August and October.

I think it's great Freddie is back, but I doubt it is a contract return. I wonder if this is a Beth storyline. Seems like they are bringing back a lot of people for brief stints. You would think the 50th is next year lol.

Not if the person who died wasn't Will to begin with. I posted back then that revealing that Will hasn't really been Will since Guy Wilson took over the role would be a very simple way to not only fix the death issue but also redeem the character, since he only started getting destroyed after Chandler Massey left. The only real negative is that it means that Will and Sonny were never really married. But I think that's worth it to correct the "Will was willing to cheat on Sonny not once but twice" wrong that Tomlin and Whitesell inserted into their love story.

And if Aiden wasn't really Aiden at the time of his death...well, like I said before, precedent...

I think it would be a good ideal to make him reoccurring or on contract...I mean I this show shot itself in the foot with removing who they did and are...

We're bringing on characters that have to be related to existing characters. And then the Hernandez thing, is completely overcome.

Seems that Adrienne isn't leaving completely, I don't think Justin will either and it makes sense with Demos, Brady, & Philip on the show they would try to beef up the Kirikas family.

I read that VI had tweeted that it was stagehand lookalike of Sonny.
It was. But we have eyes. It's Freddie.

I'm known to talk in riddles on here though, so who knows? I have no official stance. Just enjoying all of the hoopla over the photo. It's quite interesting reading each person's point of view as to Freddie-gate.

I don't think you would have to go as far back as the recast. Just have the switch happen when he was in LA, fakeWill could have slept with the movie guy and it would also explain why he hardly ever responded when Sonny tried to call him.

True. The original reason for me going that far back was that, at that time, there was speculation that Chandler Massey had filmed some scenes, so my theory built on that, suggesting that, after Will's "death", they could have shown Chandler's Will, very much alive, as a teaser. Obviously, that didn't happen. But if it had, it would have essentially required the switch to have taken place between Chandler's exit and Guy's entrance.

Already posted on the social media thread, but I'll bring it over here....

Here is a clearer photo.
Vincent Irizarry both tweeted and facebooked this photo.

Vincent's text to accompany the photo:
Wonderful working again with this special lady after 30 yrs! #BethLujack #SalemRocks
Off topic: Every time I see that silver vase thing sitting in the corner, I keep thinking it's an urn. I know it's not, but with all this Dan talk...they would keep his urn in a freaking bar. LOL! :P

Here's my FB page post:

DAYTIME ROYALTY FIRST SITE TO COMMIT TO IT BEING FREDDIE SMITH IN THE PHOTO...OTHER SOAP PRESS HAVE HELD OFF ON OFFICIAL COMMENT SO FAR

Posted Image

As fans know, since this photo was first posted last night, Vincent Irizarry has since said (at least three times) that it's a Freddie Smith lookalike stagehand. Today, Daytime Royalty was the first soap press site to suggest that Irizarry may have been...fibbing, and that it is indeed Freddie Smith in the photo. So far, no other soap press sites have went on record. So, "Days" fans, do you think we'll be seeing Sonny Kiriakis wearing a blue shirt in scenes at Club TBD in July, or are you sticking with the lookalike stagehand theory? http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/single/?p=9497163&t=9271835
LOL I can't even believe this is being debated...it is Freddie Smith in the flesh LOL!

Eh...to be fair, this is a site where debates of the seemingly obvious are about as rare as deaths on Days of our Lives during Higley and Griffith's reign of terror Game of Thrones.

Then again, the same could be said for debates of the seemingly obvious on the Internet, period.

Thanks. He hasn't been gone very long then. Wonder why he chose to come back so soon? I thought he wanted to explore other things?
