So it seems that they have recasted Will because apparently "they needed to make a change with a storyline coming up". He will now be played by Chandler Massey. Too bad I thought Dylan Patton was good in the part.
Here’s the news link: soapoperadigest.com/news/breaking/
And here’s Chandler’s imdb page with a pic of him: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3285029/
This is ok with me. I think that Dylan was fine – very sweet and sensitive. But, if they’re going to give this character a meatier SL, I agree that perhaps it’s best to give it to an actor who has more of an edge.
I wish Dylan well in the future. He seems like a great person.
That’s sad. I liked him and thought he had a good connection with Sami. I wish him luck in the future.
I was just beginning to like the actor portraying Will, and now we’re going to have to adjust to another change. Good luck Dylan.
That is the most lame excuse for a re-cast that I have ever heard! I was beginning to like this new Will. How stupid!
I’m NOT saying this is fact just something I’ve read on a few sites where people were talking, speculating and talking rumors.
There’s rumors going around that they’re going with Will being gay. Dylan wasn’t comfortable in that type of roll so a recast was needed.
While I think that could be interesting, he certainly hasn’t shown any proclivity to "gayness." Heck, I’ve never even seen him in a pink shirt.
I’m sure he’s a great young man, but I can’t STAND his hair!!! I also have trouble seeing him emote in any way. If they replaced the old Arianna, I think this was a good move. Best of luck to the actor and welcome to new Will.
especially when he seems to be genuinely in puppy-love with Mia. I know there was a rumor way back when the first Will was here, before Dylan, but that never panned out either. Hope they’re not being pressured by some activist groupies to roll with a gay storyline, although it seems like just about every other soap has one right now.
Man, I was just getting used to this Will! Hopefully they won’t make the new one have too much of a different personality. I hate when they completely change the character.
