Freddie

 and his overenergetic butterface bride channel isn't even verified. They're both very dry and boring. I wonder how much the Smith's and prissy Alan Locher make on YT? I doubt it's a lot.

I've never seen Freddie's channel. Is it really just long videos of him and his wife talking (like the one someone just posted in this thread)? I can't imagine watching that.

I'd be perfectly fine with a Sonny recast. Freddie and Chandler haven't had chemistry in a while anyway.

Most of them are. They used to interview Days cast members too but they don't anymore. More recently, they've been doing vlogs about house hunting, going to Disney, etc.

That's when they lived in LA. They had Chandler on a lot and it got lots of viewers.

In one pulse pounding show. Alyssa went on and on. About having an upset tummy and taking TUMS. I kid you not.

Lol!  

I just find it funny he was fine to do a brief return not long ago.   I am not sure why anyone would turn down gig like Days when they don't appear to be working otherwise except for a podcast.  He may have money.  I could be wrong, but it's a little fake.  But I find their entire you tube persona with the two of them very fake, especially her on the few episodes I have seen.

They don't have that many subscribers or views so I think they make money, but not enough to survive or support themselves on that alone, but I have only seen a few videos.  Unless they have product endorsements they hawk too.  I don't follow them well enough to know.  Whatever best of luck to them!

[AlexElizabeth]

No offense to them but why would anyone care about what they're doing in their personal lives. LOL. I had to peek at their channel and their most recent videos only seem to get a couple thousand views each. I would imagine far fewer people than that actually make it through an entire video. Randomly making a 42-minute video about how he's never coming back to DAYS makes me think they're desperate for views.

I would think his views are directly correlated to when he talks about Days?  You would think he would want to be back on Days to help promote that channel unless he spends all day filming those videos, which given their length, it's possible.   I mean, this is the first time we have talked about Freddie in months so it worked I guess lol.  At least he could do a zoom interview with some of the Days cast or something. 

Honestly, I think they are trying to sell themselves as a brand and they aren't entertaining.

??? Is she incapable of supporting herself?

Freddie was all about retiring at 30. I think he may be slightly deluded ,very much of that cohort who think their mere existence is worthy of  support (including financial) from others and think they are way more interesting than they are.

[Soapsuds]

He was suppose to retire 3 years ago. He said he was going to sign for another which would've made 4 years too late. 

His wife is a realtor. Don't know if I'd buy a house from her.

So who would you cast as new Sonny??

[te.]

Eh, well, it's nice to have goals?

I guess in theory he could've invested his DAYS money wisely, or more realistically he's going to move on to another profession (a realtor like his wife?).

But I agree with @FrenchBug82re: killing off Sonny. He's a legacy character with ties to the canvas, so it's pointless to kill him off since it's just likely they'd revive him anyway. Just have him and Will break up off screen and eventually re-cast down the line if they need a spoiler in Will's relationships down the line.

[Chris B]

Honestly, they probably make decent money with their youtube so good for them! I didn't hate Freddie and I didn't mind when he gained weight, but he's no big loss if he doesn't want to return. I'd love if they bring Sonny back to recast with Zach Tinker who played Fenmore on Y&R. 

[te.]

I don't mind Freddie either, even if he became lazy but then again so did Chandler Massey and the writing itself.
