While fans can look forward to his return to “Days of our Lives” in June, along with a slew of others as the daytime drama series continues to celebrate its 60th anniversary season, actor Chandler Massey is set to continue making a few more appearances throughout the year as Will Horton, Soap Opera Network has confirmed.

The news was first teased in a recent interview with Soap Opera Digest, wherein actress Martha Madison discussed reconnecting with the family side of her character, Belle Black, as she and her co-stars took part in a 60th anniversary photo shoot.

Madison told the outlet, “He wasn’t part of our particular setup for the picture, but I worked with him a lot while he was here.” She added, “We were chatting and stuff behind the scenes. It was nice to have him back. He’s always so funny, and he’s a lot of fun to talk to.”

The photo shoot featuring Madison included Diedre Hall (Dr. Marlena Evans), Eric Martsolf (Brady Black), and returning fan favorites Alison Sweeney (Sami Brady) and Greg Vaughan (Eric Brady).

“It was done in the [show’s] studio, just down the hall from where we were shooting,” Madison revealed of the shoot. “We’re doing a lot around the anniversary on the show, and so everyone was kind of back for that. It’s always so fun when we do these big umbrella events, because everybody is there. I love that they really paired us all together in families, not just couples. It was really special to be in the Brady/Black family photo. We don’t get to do that very often.”

Massey’s initial return to “Days of our Lives” was first teased last fall when the series announced several fan favorites, including Matthew Ashford (Jack Deveraux), Christie Clark (Carrie Brady), Leann Hunley (Anna DiMera), Victoria Konefal (Ciara Weston), Thaao Penghlis (Tony DiMera), Melissa Reeves (Jennifer Horton) and Charles Shaughnessy (Shane Donovan), would be reprising their roles.

Filmed in October 2024, the actors are all set to appear in episodes airing in June, with Ashford and Reeves expected to return for another round later this year, as revealed by their onscreen son Casey Moss (JJ Deveraux) in an Instagram story he posted last month, who said in the caption, “couldn’t be more grateful to be part of such a legendary family. #thehortons Happy 60th Days family.”

I hope he's practicing his smirks. He cannot act.

Either that or his cries.

I ask y'all: did you ever catch Michael Zaslow smirking his way through scenes?  Or Larry Bryggman?  Or even Drake Hogestyn?

My advice to Chandler Massey remains the same: the only way to stop smirking through scenes is to stop judging them to begin with (and yes, you are judging them, or else you'd stay in the moment and not stifle laughs like you're in a [!@#$%^&*] SNL sketch).  You're not being asked to critique the material you're playing, only to play it.
