Members John Posted July 2, 2013 Members Share Posted July 2, 2013 From daysofourlives.about.com Here's the latest Days of Our Lives comings and goings casting news. Tyler Sellers begins a recurring role as Brent on July 2. The character is an old friend of Sonny's who comes to Salem for a visit. Fret not Wilson fans. The guy won't pose a romantic threat to Will/Sonny. However, he will have an affect on their relationship. Jen Lilley (ex-Maxie, General Hospital) makes her long awaited debut this week as a mysterious new girl in town named Theresa. Her first air date is July 3, and she shares scenes with Casey Moss (JJ). As previously reported, her character is slated to be a major bad girl. After a long absence, Brendon Coughlin returns as Will's pal T. He's back in time for Salem's July 4th celebration. Laura Kai Chen has begun a stint as special prosecutor Melinda Trask. She'll continue to appear on the show as Sami awaits her fate in the Bernardi murder investigation. Elizabeth Roberts is portraying Bernardi's widow Marge. Roberts may look familiar to soap fans. She played Sally Hightower on The Young and the Restless back in 2010. JJ's pals Cole and Bev are being played by Riley Bodenstsab and Allison Paige, respectively. This is Paige's second time on Days. Back in 2008, she recurred as Jill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted July 2, 2013 Members Share Posted July 2, 2013 Yay! T's back! Elizabeth Roberts has been fun as Bernardi's widow. I'm not a big fan of these names they are giving characters. Marge? And Theresa for Jenn Lilley? I don't see her as a Theresa at all. JMO, lol. It's a minor gripe. Looking forward to FINALLY seeing Jenn Lilley! Thanks for posting John!

Members dio Posted July 2, 2013 Members Share Posted July 2, 2013 why don't DAYS recast + flesh out T's character and put him with Sonny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hsfolk Posted July 2, 2013 Members Share Posted July 2, 2013 I wish T could stick around. I started really liking his character after he finally accepted Will and Sonny Tyler Sellers looks like he could've been a Will recast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted July 2, 2013 Author Members Share Posted July 2, 2013 Tylereyes bug me. Sorrry but they bug out too much. I think this guy may be the one to get Sonny to change Common grounds to a club which may also give Wilson angst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted July 2, 2013 Members Share Posted July 2, 2013 They need to do a Sonny and T Bro romance when Will leaves and then have T come out.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted July 2, 2013 Author Members Share Posted July 2, 2013 They may recast Will. Chandler could stay or even Wilson may leave together. Regardless Chandler will be on screen thru at least April 2014, He's not leaving next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dio Posted July 2, 2013 Members Share Posted July 2, 2013 knowing DAYS and how they have a tendency to bump actors who play side characters up to main character roles... that is likely what will happen. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted July 2, 2013 Members Share Posted July 2, 2013 I havent seen the episode yet but he could be a Will recast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dio Posted July 2, 2013 Members Share Posted July 2, 2013 this is also true. That's almost a year out, and anything could change... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted July 2, 2013 Author Members Share Posted July 2, 2013 If Chandler leaves, Days is not recasting Will. http://michaelfairmansoaps.com/days-of-our-lives/the-ken-corday-interview-days-of-our-lives/2013/07/02/ MICHAEL: Courtesy/HLN I know Chandler Massey is leaving in December at the end of his contract. Can you talk about what a huge contribution he has made to Days of our Lives as Will Horton? 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. Given that KC speaks of how well FS & CM are together, I wont be surprised if CM does leave that FS will exit with him as Sonny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted July 2, 2013 Members Share Posted July 2, 2013 It's a shame they won't recast the role. The role can easily be recasted. Chandler is replaceable...he is hot and all and just an ok actor. We havent heard anything about FS leaving though....so I dont see Sonny leaving the canvas.

Members John Posted July 2, 2013 Author Members Share Posted July 2, 2013 Maybe Days is thinking that since Wilson is a success due to FS & CM they dont want to chance it with a recast & maybe write them out instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members difficultdiva Posted July 2, 2013 Members Share Posted July 2, 2013 I'm sorry, but that is absolute BS. Especially if Smith doesn't want to leave. Ken's saying that now, but let's see in a year's time, when a casting is sent out that specifically describes Will's character to a T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jcar03 Posted July 2, 2013 Members Share Posted July 2, 2013 DAYS hasn't been recast many of these young roles over the past few years like Max, Chelsea, Melanie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
