DAYS: Freddie Smith joins cast

[Vanguardian]

OK! I get it now! And it sounds good to me. I hope CHILL is what really happens as a result of this. TPTB are idiots if they don't run with it.

[Bright Eyes]

According to the latest issue of SOW, Freddie Smith first airs as Jackson 'Sonny' Kiriakis on June 23.

Thanks Toups

[AllMyDaysatGH]

Why is he acting like he doesn't know who Sonny's love interest will be? ;-). We all know it's Will. Maybe he doesn't know that we know...or, he's just afraid to (or can't) say.

Unless DAYS is taking a really slow approach with this and Freddie really doesn't know ;-O. They are taping Sept. episodes right now!

[JackPeyton]

He cant say.

Chandler still hasnt said it is Will, as far as i know.

[Vanguardian]

We all know it's Will? Or have they been playing games to make us think that? And Will's strange interactions with Gabi onscreen are a throw off. It's something to think about actually.

[Eric83]

Chandler Massey had an interview like a few months ago and seemed really excited about the gay storyline. Why would he care that much if it didn't have anything to do with him? Gabi is going to try and have sex with him next week and he is gonna say no, and he seemed relieved that he didn't have to go to the hotel room with Gabi on prom night.

[JackPeyton]

You are giving these writers far too much credit.

[wingwalker]

Yeah and Toups said it was Will, so I believe Toups.

First we had Chandler on Good Day LA be all awkward claim he doesn't know if Will will be gay and now Freddie's saying he doesn't know we his love interest will be. Um okay, Sonny shows up next week and they are taping Sept now, they both gotta know by now, even if they can't say. Plus, Errol tweeted a few nights ago about Sonny & Will having nice chemistry, they got to be sharing scenes. So we know they are not telling the whole truth. Why doesn't DAYS just come out (pun intended) with it already? Why be so coy?

[JackPeyton]

Well, Chandler knew going back to February.

I think they just dont say anything because any buzz is good. And because of the rewrites, taking it slow, etc..

[All My Shadows]

I don't blame them for taking it slow. One of the biggest problems with Nuke was that people were going into it with these gargantuan expectations and little to no patience at all.

[Vanguardian]

And see, it's that coyness that further raises my suspicion about all of this. They must know that the audience are in on the main details by now so the coyness at this point seems pointless. Part of me senses a "bait and switch" scenario possibly happening.

[Vanguardian]

I appreciate this storyline moving at a slow pace, but I hope it's not TOO SLOW! Slow pacing can also be a bad thing if it's not done properly.

[Soapsuds]

Then we got Lure. The better coupling.
