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
I'm not sure I appreciate the inferred bash at VI. There's no DR vs VI thing going on and no need to start one.

And there's no need to keep treating it like it might not be Freddie. It's Freddie.

How long was he gone for?

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

Jason are there other returns
Si.
Good, because these aren't doing it for me, they all left recently. I was hoping for returns of characters we haven't seen in years.

That's why I think it's a short return.

I have to say, I think this was in really poor taste Jason. I have to call it like I see it.

Edited to add: You didn't want to call out Vincent for lying, but you are ok with giving the impression that DR called him out as a liar. Not cool.

I think the best way to revive Will would be that Andre stole his body and injected him with the drug Kristen gave to EJ because he thought Will could clear Chad's name. Maybe the drug didn't work at first and he stayed in a coma for a long time. But again, Sonny is back, Will we don't know.

I read that VI had tweeted that it was stagehand lookalike of Sonny.
He did tweet that.
Stagehand? That has the exact same hair, build and features as Sonny? And is dressed like him? Sure, OK.
I didn't say he was telling the truth, I just said that's what he tweeted.
Oh I know. I was just commenting on the tweet in general and how unbelievable it is. I love Vincent I but I don't believe him in this case.

It's odd that they would bring Sonny back, just as Judi and Wally's contracts are taken away. When the two were given contracts, I thought it was a clear sign that Sonny was going to be recast because Freddie didn't want to return. Now it seems like he has returned, and his on-screen parents' airtime is going to be decreased. Then again, the two were given contracts and seen less than they were when they were on recurring status, so who knows what goes into the thinking over in Burbank.
Maybe one of his parents gets sick in the CDC storyline? :shrug: I hope they wouldn't kill off Justin or Adrienne, but who knows? Or they could just have them become sick for a short period and have a short-run return for FS.

I'd like to see him back longer term though.

If FS just came back yesterday, I'm pretty sure they're already done taping the CDC story. The CDC stuff sounds like May Sweeps, and they're already taping July/August.

I absolutely love FS and would be thrilled to see him back, long or short term.

Now...if Will somehow resurrected from the dead in Chandler or more sensible form, I would just be tickled pink. At least some kind of ghost form where they can actually say goodbye to one another. I would even take that just for the sake of closure.

So happy to have FS back. It will be nice for Ari to not only have Gabi but Sonny back as well.

I'm still hoping that Carrie, Austin and their child come for a visit. :)

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.
YES. This is exactly what should happen. The real Will was kidnapped and held captive in LA and someone (the DiMeras) replaced him with a clone and set him to Salem. The clone is the one who cheated and died.

It certainly wouldn't be the first Sami didn't notice someone she loved was replaced with a clone. And Sonny was barely around him so.

This is the best way to bring Will back to life, because it would undo all the crap but it wouldn't undo the wedding/marriage.

Let Will stay dead. Glad Sonny is back! Whether short or long term, I hope that they'll use him wisely.

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
It's quite possible. I'm surprised the grieving Salemites haven't been passing his urn around from house to house, family to family, so they all can spend time with him. :blulaugh:

Sorry you feel that way. I meant no disrespect to Lysie or the site. I was crediting the first site to commit to it being Freddie. This site happened to be the first one.

You can do that without adding defamatory comments trying to start a war between us and an actor. We said it's Freddie. It is. That's all you need for your "press release."

That's not Freddie Smith. It's the stagehand named Fred Smithie!

Freddie did say he was open to coming back for some more stints. I'm guessing this is short-term but who knows.

I do not need Will to come back alive, at least not until a few years down the road. It does such a disservice to the story that has transpired IMO.

You made a point earlier of saying that you didn't want to call out Vincent as a liar. So It seems to me that you let DR do that for you.
