Members jo.frank88 Posted August 24, 2013 Members Share Posted August 24, 2013 Wow. This makes me really sad to see Chandler wrap up 3 months early.. I can understand from the producers of the show thought if they had decided to go ahead with the recast to go ahead and do it sooner rather than later, especially if it helps Chandler with new roles/college, etc..I REALLY hope the show gives the character of Will a break in between actors! Have Will leave to go visit Austin and Carrie in Switzerland for a couple months, then when he returns to Salem we have the recasted Will. This way Chandler and Freddie can still have a "goodbye" moment (as Will leaves to go visit Switzerland) and it gives us as the audience a couple months to mentally adjust from Chandler to the new Will. I'm thankful though that the character of Will will continue to drive story on the show. The character is SO needed on canvas, and I'm thankful that WilSon will continue.. as they should Chandler has been amazing!! But I am really glad that both Will and WilSon will remain. One question though. Does anyone know if they have already filmed the Christmas episode?! I REALLY want Chandler to appear in the Christmas episode. I know a week or so ago, Freddie posted that they had just gotten the script for the Christmas episode, and I think I've heard they get scripts about a week or so before filming it.. it's gonna be close. Does anyone know if it has been filmed yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dio Posted August 24, 2013 Members Share Posted August 24, 2013 they should have him confess to shooting EJ, and put that DAMN storyline/character-handicap to rest, already. Then when he comes out bam! nuWill. EDIT: would be really funny is DAYS broke Will/Sonny up anyway, even tho Will's staying on canvas... rotfl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted August 24, 2013 Members Share Posted August 24, 2013 I believe they filmed Xmas a week and half ago. So they MAY have filmed New Years already. Show is now dark til Sept 9th. That is the rumored first tape date for New Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JAS0N47 Posted August 24, 2013 Members Share Posted August 24, 2013 Yes, Christmas is done. They should be right around New Year's Eve/first week of January when they resume taping on September 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted August 25, 2013 Members Share Posted August 25, 2013 I'm going to miss Chandler Massey even though I did criticized his smirky acting. It didn't make him grow as a character. He was still so damn adorable to me though...lol...I hope they have hired someone who looks like Massey. Someone mentioned a former GH actor as Will...I would be LOL if he got hired and played a gay character considering how he was very difficult to get along with on the set.

Members John Posted August 25, 2013 Members Share Posted August 25, 2013 #Wilson fans Listening to Wilson forever podcast someone who went to Chandler's event today said that Chandler admitted the following: 1) Chandler did ask Days to let him out early from his contract 2) Days & him agreed that when a recast was found they would release Chandler 3) Chandler did admit he didnt expect to be released so soon as he didnt think they would find a recast so fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members difficultdiva Posted August 25, 2013 Members Share Posted August 25, 2013 Thanks for the info from the podcast. Chandler really shouldn't be that shocked DAYS found a recast so quickly, when he wanted out early from his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted August 25, 2013 Members Share Posted August 25, 2013 I get the feeling that Chandler thought the recast was going to take some time or not work by the way he was talking in previous interviews. Like when he said I can return yada yada yada....IMO I think he is making a mistake leaving but I think he doing this more to see what is out there besides going back to school.

Members BadAddiction Posted August 25, 2013 Members Share Posted August 25, 2013 Maybe he thought he wasn't easily replaceable. LOL! Besides, the boy had been phoning it in for a long while now. There was absolutely no energy, no palpable investment in his scenes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted August 25, 2013 Members Share Posted August 25, 2013 This!! I am sure he was shocked that he was let go this fast. I thought he was going back to school in January since his contracted ended in December. So I am assuming he is returning to college in a few weeks???

Members difficultdiva Posted August 25, 2013 Members Share Posted August 25, 2013 He shouldn't listen to his fans and when you work on a soap, or in any industry and announce that you're making plans to leave your job, you really shouldn't be surprised that your bosses find somebody else to replace your role. I swear, it's sad that some folks and evidently Chandler thought that DAYS would wait until he left, before they started to look for another actor. Waiting four whole months?! That's just absolutely ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
