This past week on Days of our Lives, Will Horton’s story continued to provide the drama and the emotional heart of the NBC series, as Will (Chandler Massey) and Sonny (Freddie Smith) saved Gabi (Camila Banus) and Nick (Blake Berris) from Jensen (Derek Magyar)!  In the process, Will is shot!  Nick’s past is revealed, Gabi gives birth to her and Will’s child with an assist from Sonny, and oh my!  The stage is set for more drama in episodes coming right after the Memorial Day weekend!

And while there were plenty of occurrences in Salem and Smith Island last week, off-screen Chandler Massey recently landed another Daytime Emmy nomination in the Outstanding Younger Lead Actor category for this year’s 40th annual Daytime Emmy Awards to be handed out on Sunday Night, June 16th, and broadcast live on HLN. Will Chandler make it two in a row with another one of his astounding performances?

On-Air On-Soaps caught up with Chandler to get a preview of: what is to come this week and in the future for Will and Sonny, what he thought of the just aired exciting episodes, and what he thinks it will be like for Will to be a young father!  Plus, Chandler shares his thoughts on working with Blake Berris as his on-screen adversary, and we talk … Daytime Emmy time! 

Last week, DAYS was on fire!  What did you think about the big fight scene between Will and Jensen (Derek Magyar) that saved the day for Nick?

CHANDLER:  We filmed the scenes in episodes that aired last Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, all in one day.  We were out there from ten in the morning till six at night, doing these scenes with really no break.  So, we blocked the fight, we choreographed it, and we rehearsed it over and over again.  And then the time came for the take, and it was my job to throw the first punch.  And of course, my adrenaline was pumping so much that I hit him.  I hit Derek right in the face!  Not hard, but I hit him!  And then the fight got so real for me.  I went, “Oh no!  He is going to kick my ass now!”  I obviously apologized to Derek profusely after it, and he was O.K.   But it was crazy, and really fun to do.  99% of the time in soaps, you sit down, or are standing and having a conversation with somebody, and maybe at one point you walk around in a scene.  So this was great to be able to do.

Soaps are not action adventure in nature!

CHANDLER:  The story in soaps is told in dialog, so this was so cool, because you can tell story another way.  I did not have a single line in that whole episode!  So … I loved it! (Laughs)

So when you saw the scripts that detailed Will is shot, Gabi gives birth, and all the suspense around it, what did you think?

Courtesy/NBC

CHANDLER:  I had to laugh, because the circumstances had to be the craziest thing. Like Sonny delivers the baby in some warehouse somewhere?  Of course!  And a few other things I had a laugh at, like no cell service on the island!  But on the whole, I was very excited.  I knew it was going to be a big moment, and therefore people would tune-in and see something different.  I always appreciate something different.

Do you think now that Will saved Nick, there will be a definitive turn in the contentious relationship between the two of them?

CHANDLER:   It does in a way, or at least there is an understanding of Nick’s life from Will’s perspective.  Still I think without getting into too many details, just because you know the rationale for why somebody is doing something, even if it’s a terrible thing that happened to this person that made them this way, such as to Nick, he has got to take some responsibility for his own actions.  Just because of what he went through does not mean he can do whatever he wants to people.

What you are saying is very true in life!  So many people are abused sexually or emotionally, and just because of that it does not, or should not, give the license to hurt others who had nothing to do with the situation, or who then become innocent victims.

CHANDLER:   It’s terrible what happened to Nick.  That is something no one would wish on anybody, but in Will’s mind it does not give him a free pass.  I can say, Will does feel sorry for him, absolutely.  Will can understand the reason Nick starting developing the positions that he had when it came to homophobia.

What did you think about the scenes after Will is shot, where basically you are laying there in the hospital set and all the cast is acting around you?  (Laughs)

CHANDLER:  It was great!  I got to skip dry blocking, and come in the morning and lie in bed and go to sleep! (Laughs)   It was a nice break.  I was so exhausted from the previous day’s work that it was just nice to lay there and be unconscious for a while. I truly think it was some of my best work! (Laughs)

What did you think of your on-screen mom, Alison Sweeney’s (Sami) performance at Will’s bedside?

CHANDLER: Alison was fantastic in those scenes, of course as usual, and everybody involved in the story did a great job.

Next week, Will sees his baby girl for the first time!  How was that to play?

Photo Credit: Ryan Forbes

CHANDLER:  Yes!  They are two twin girls and their names are Sydney and Harper in real life.  I was very nervous at what to expect.  I had never really held an infant before. These girls are so beautiful and cute!  I got chills in the scene!

So meeting his baby daughter for the first time is going to be big moment for Will and the fans who love him?

CHANDLER:   I hope the fans will love the scenes.  It does kind of change everything.  I have even kind of approached playing Will differently because he is a dad now.  He is now not his first priority, anymore.  His daughter is, and will always be.  It filters everything that happens to him, and allows him to react differently than he would have before.

Now that the child is born, and due to the circumstances surrounding her birth, do you think everyone will work together now to raise the baby … Will and Sonny… Gabi and Will? 

CHANDLER:  That would be nice, but this is Days of our Lives and people in Salem rarely just work together.  When Will’s child is brought to him, not only does Will have a life changing moment, something changes in Nick, too.  He sees a visceral bond between a father and his child, and kind of brings to light for him what he was doing.   There is a sense of community and harmony, at least for a little awhile.  And let’s not forget, Will saved Nick’s ass, so he better be grateful. (Laughs)

Courtesy/NBC

Are Sonny and Will finally heading for a period of some happiness?

CHANDLER:  Yes, they are.  I have to give credit to the writers on this.  They really did an amazing job.  Will and Sonny are such a united front, and they love each other so much.  The writers did a good job of showing that through their behavior and actions. You can tell how much they love each other, and that they are in this together.

We had talked quite a while ago that at one point DAYS and NBC had put the brakes on developing the love story between Will and Sonny.  Finally everything moved forward.  Do you feel now, after all this time and all the stops and starts, that yours and Freddie’s on-screen relationship is working better now?

CHANDLER:   It really does work better now.  I feel like it’s great, just how Sonny and Will had to learn.  They started from being this awkward couple learning to love each other.  Freddie and I have kind of grown along the same vein, and are becoming more and more comfortable with each other.  I think our scenes only get better each time.

What are your hopes for Will in the future?  What would you like to have the opportunity to play?

CHANDLER:   I would like, and this might seem boring on a soap where all these crazy things keep happening, but I would like Will to fumble his way through and learn to be a dad.  And if that is all he has got going on his plate, then trust me, that should be enough. That is what I would like to do … have scenes with my on-screen daughter!

Courtesy/NBC

Blake Berris’ portrayal of Nick Fallon has been outstanding!  You and I have often talked about what a terrific job he has done with the part.  What is it like for you when you’re are working and performing in scenes with him?  Also, there was that issue of Blake getting pushback for playing a homophobe against Will!

CHANDLER:  Sometimes Blake and I laugh about that.  But you can tell when you are in a scene with him, he has this great combination.   He does his homework.  Blake will go read these scripts and he will make super interesting choices, but when he is on set and you are doing a scene with him, he has got that as his base, but he is so present and spontaneous that you know that he is listening to you.  You can see it in his eyes that he is actually invested in what is going on.  He has got a hell of a presence in a scene.  I think he has taken material in general and made Nick the most interesting character on the show.  I think Blake is the greatest gift to the younger generation of actors on DAYS that we have had in a long time.

Do you, at your young age, now feel like an “old pro” at DAYS?  Is it hard to make your performances fresh with the material given to you, every single episode that you are in?

Photo Credit: Kathy Hutchins

CHANDLER:  An old something! (Laughs) But that is actually a good question, because you do have to find a lot of the times a way to keep things fresh.  I will have déjà vu and I don’t know if that is in my head, or I am actually saying the things that I am saying for the first time.  In a new episode every day, you cannot always come up with something completely original.  I approach every scene as if it was the only scene I was going to do on Days of our Lives.  I come in and do the best that I can in that scene, and then do it in every other scene.  I think the best way to keep things interesting is to be open to the spontaneous action from your scene partner.  Little accidents, that happen that were not even scripted, become the greatest gifts you can get.

Do you feel like the daytime soap opera “poster boy” for the LGBT community? When you first came on the show, and through the coming out story, you were everywhere in print and online interviews, and features.

CHANDLER:  I don’t know I consider myself the “poster boy”.  I think when the story first started to come out and I was doing a bunch of press, maybe I felt that way, and then Freddie was also brought on.  I think we are kind of like equals with it.  I do obviously support the cause, and help outside of the set in anyway that I can.

This year, you are once again nominated in the Outstanding Younger Actor in a Drama Series category for the 40th annual Daytime Emmys.  Deidre Hall (Marlena) was once again in your Emmy scenes.  Was Deidre being in them an important part of picking the episode, in any way?

Courtesy/NBC

CHANDLER: Truthfully, I ask my mom what her favorite scenes are, and then she tells me.  Last Emmys she said, “Pick this”, and it worked!  The most important thing I consider when choosing a scene for Emmy contention is the other person in the scene. Deidre challenged me in those scenes, and really brought me up and elevated my performance to her level.  That is one of the reasons, I love working with her.  I went with a scene with her last year, where I tell Marlena I walked in on Sami having sex with EJ (James Scott) and cheating on Rafe (Galen Gering).

In case anyone is still wondering, what episode did you submit, and why did you choose it?

CHANDLER:  I submitted the episode from February 2012 where Will has his first kiss with a guy, and his name was Neil (Jesse Kristofferson).  Will gets caught, and he is embarrassed and he runs to Marlena to talk to her about it and he ends up asking her if she thinks he might be gay? The reason I chose the episode was I felt like it painted a complete picture of what Will is going through, and as I said, mom picked it and she liked it.

Now looking back, do you think Will’s coming out story was truly the tip of the iceberg for the character?

CHANDLER:  I don’t know if I would say his coming out was the tip of the iceberg, but I do like that it opened doors for storylines that would have never opened up if Will hadn’t came out.  I am really enjoying what is going on now.  I feel the best material and scenes are ahead for the viewers.  We shoot three to four months ahead.  It kind of paved the way for me, for what it is all truly about … Will growing up and becoming a man.  If Will had never gone thought that process, I don’t think he would be ready to kind of deal with what is going on and what we are filming, which is him preparing himself to be a father and fatherhood.  Will has definitely benefitted from the experiences he had and the trouble that he had coming out, and it helped him grow up.  Hopefully, he will be a little bit wiser! (Laughs)

What did you think about being nominated against your co-star and on-screen love interest, Freddie Smith, in the same category for this year’s Daytime Emmy?

CHANDLER: I think it’s great, and I am happy for Freddie.  He deserved a nomination, absolutely. 

Did you judge this year on a Daytime Emmy blue-ribbon panel?  If so, what category, and what did you think of the caliber of work you saw?

CHANDLER:   I judged the ‘Supporting Actor’ category, and I was very impressed!  Now, I might be a little bias because I am on DAYS, but Jim Reynolds’ (Abe) reel was so heartbreaking, oh my gosh!  So I was very surprised he did not get in.  But basically, every one in the category put up astounding work and performances.  It could have gone any way, and I was definitely not bored watching the reels for one second.  It was a great experience.

I know you don’t tweet much on your Twitter account, but your fans must have been happy upon hearing the news of your Daytime Emmy nomination this year.

Courtesy/NBC

CHANDLER: I don’t tweet a lot, but I do read what I can what fans are tweeting to me. Everyone seems to be really happy that DAYS did so well.  We also got acting nominations for Peggy McKay (Caroline) and Arianne Zuker (Nicole)!  We also got 17 nominations in total, and a Best Show nomination, which is awesome!

So you have already won one Daytime Emmy, you may very well add a second one to your trophy case this year.  Has winning an Emmy in anyway changed anything? Made a difference for you?

CHANDLER:  It is an honor to be recognized by your peers, in that way.  So that is great.  I think the main difference is; once I received the first Emmy I knew that every scene I did from there on in my mind had to be Emmy caliber, because now I basically set a standard for myself.  So it has made me work harder.

In closing, what can you preview that is coming up for fans of Will’s story and journey?

Courtesy/NBC

CHANDLER: I would say the best stuff is going to air from July through August.  I am thoroughly enjoying myself in these scenes.  I can tell you that Gabi, Sonny and Will, almost find themselves in a very comical situation where they all have to work together to achieve what they want.  It makes for some really great, interesting, and funny scenes too, which I love, and in scarce supply on Days of our Lives and for Will’s life, seriously. (Laughs)

So DAYS fans, what do you think about Will becoming a dad? Are you looking forward to seeing Will meet his baby girl? What did you think of this past week’s episode involving, Gabi, Nick, Sonny and Will?  Are you rooting for Chandler to win another Daytime Emmy in a few weeks for his performance?  Let us know your thoughts!

He’s a winner no matter what. A great person and a gifted actor i enjoy watching. I believe the storyline with the baby will work out like i predicted: the 4 will become good friends and will work together raising the baby but then something will happen…maybe Will spending too much time with Gabi and the baby that makes both Nick and Sonny jealous and then their friendships will fall apart but a crisis concerning baby Adrianna will bring them together once again…maybe! Thanks Micheal for another great interview!

P.S. Chandler and Freddie should have a tie emmy win!

boringggggggggggggg let’s hope they can find something better than your idea of a ‘new’ storyline..

Maybe boring to you but sometimes the story needs to take a brief sabbatical from all the high drama for some normalicy moments instead of everyday fighting and arguing that can be a bit too much at times then some drama can return. Maybe Will could realize he’s bisexual and attracted to both Sonny and Gabi that could add further conflict in the foursomes relationship.

Will deserves better than MOUTHY, clueless and hypocritical Gabby ! Bisexual or not ! Already the poor guy is tied up with her (sadly) with a baby..I already feel sorry for Nick (Chelsea where are you ??!) i don’t want Will to be the next victim..no thanks ! A bisexual story for Wilson with another girl (you know someone with personality and at least a bit of charisma) however why not..will be always better than him playing house for months in a ‘happily ever after’ boring bubble with awful Gabby, insta-reformed Nick (although i like the actor and the character..the insta redemption is kind of ridiculous but oh well nothing new in a soap) and sometimes too nicey nicey Sonny..

I get what you mean…Gabi acts like shes in a different world sometimes…i wish the writers would give her a little more backbone…

for those who like…. and/or LOVE Jenn Lilly – ex/Maxie, GH…. and Chrishell Stause – ex/Amanda, AMC.

These two… should really mix it up for the summer and then some… I love these two nuDOOL actors….

I’m hoping either of these lovely gals… hone in on Lucas and Rafe… and/or Brady.

I like Jenn ex-Maxie, GH and i look forward to seeing her on Days.

One is for Rafe i think..Jen Lilley (too young for Rafe or Lucas) i don’t know what she is for..time will tell
Autumn should come for Lucas; he really need a life, the bitter Lucas always sniffing around everybody’s business is getting old pretty quickly.

I love to see will and sonny and the baby as a famley and get marryed

LOVE this guy!!! he can do no wrong in my book.
Sonny & Will are my favorite couple on Days!!! Hope he wins another
Emmy 🙂

Great interview. I love that you said Will is the emotional heartbeat of DAYS…I think that’s an excellent way of putting it. Good luck to Chandler, who is the winner in my books!

chandler is such a terrific actor. i hope he wins another emmy. days of our lives is on fire right now. im so happy days got renewed for one more year. please recast bo on days. peter reckell is not coming back.

Absolutely I am rooting for Chandler to win the Emmy for his performance. he is such a talented actor.

Chandler is such a talented and gifted actor and he really seems to put his heart and soul into his performance. I love the Will and Sonny storyline and how the writers continue to develop the love story between these two. It is so important to see the love and commitment between these two characters and show how important they are to each other, and now bringing the baby into their lives will add another layer to this love story. I look forward to seeing these two become a super-couple and hopefully a family with the addition of Will’ s daughter. Good luck to Chandler in June at the EMMY Awards and to the Days of our Lives family.

Michael you should have asked when Gaby’s bad deeds will be discovered ? Everyone got exposed expect her..

didn’t it seem like she was trying to make amends with Sonny… just before she had the baby?

Who cares ?! Certainly not me ! Why this character benefits from some high preservation, she should suffer big revelation of her nasty misdeeds, as well as some big humiliation and some hatred from some folks (you know like Maggie, Daniel aka Melanie’s family at least..or some folks like JJ and Abby..she is not the most culprit but she is not innocent in Jack and Madison’s demises)..Other characters even when they don’t get the big punishment (aka death or jail..that it never happens actually or only if the actor is fired, want to quit, some maternity break situation) always get some sort of comeuppance, just watch Kristen this week but no Gabby is a ‘poor innocent victim’ who needs to be protected..bull and puke !

Great interview! Will becoming a dad is literally the cutest thing ever – I am so waiting to see the scenes where Will meets Arianna for the first time, I hope Sonny is with her. Without a word of lie I can say that the past week is one of the best weeks ever in the history of Days of our Lives. All the actors are doing amazing job!

Yes, I am rooting for Chandler – he truly deserves that Emmy!

Great interview Michael… thank you!!! Chandler… seems to be a great guy in addition to being a very talented young actor! I am a bit behind on DOOL and have not seen all of the scenes discussed but will look forward to them.

Great interview. I’m loving the story and acting. Can’t wait to see more!

Great interview. Chandler seems like a nice dude and he’s an outstanding actor. Love his storyline and can’t wait for more! WilSon is the new supercouple! They remind me of Lumi!

Wilson history has NOTHING to do with Lumi ! Seriously do you know this show..

Yes I do. It never said the history reminds me of them, but their chemistry is the same to me. There was no reason to be rude.

felicito a chandler y freddy me gustaria que ambos ganaran por el excelente trabajo que estan haciendo , felicidades a ambos

Chandler is great, but this storyline is absurd, even for soaps. Days never explored why Will slept with Gabi. He certainly wasn’t interested in sex with her while they were dating. To me, doing deeper into Will’s motivations would have been the interesting part, but as it is it’s just another disconnected development designed to fuel storylines that make no sense.

WILL IS GAY. GET OVER IT PEOPLE. THIS IS GAY STORYLINE.

yep ! If only Gabby could disappear..what a dull character and now Will is stuck with her via a baby..sigh.

It’s exactly the same thing that happened with Bianca on AMC – tease the audience with a a gay relationship and the chance to watch a non-conventional lifestyle and then tie the gay character down by giving them a child. They have no intention of exploring Will’s ‘inner life’, they just want to make him the father of that damn baby (another plot device) and have him function solely as that in future storylines. Everything is going to relate now to Will’s daughter and not to Will himself. How DARE Days do this. AMC betrayed Bianca and the gay audience having her impregnanted by a rapist and her lover sent back to Poland and now.. now… DAYS has started on the path to make Wil a heteronormative character again and take away any semblance of homosexuality in his personality as we understand it.

Interesting point… It will certainly be interesting to see what the writers will come up with moving forward on this storyline. Given how well publicised and well handled the ‘gay’ storyline was seen to be, it would be a pretty strange decision to go with a more familiar and conventional storyline about adjusting to fatherhood… But stranger things have happened in Salem!

is will going to sing to sonny and ask sonny to marry him in front of his famley

I donlt think having Sonny and WIll marry will be adversely heteronormative, but welcomingly so. We are in a fight to have marriage equality in all 50 states. There is no issue to be made with the domestication of Will–THAT IS, UNLESS they make Will bisexual, which I cannot believe would happen but who knows? Such a move would seriously discredit the storyline and the show. Even though sexual fluidity exists, we do not need it in the daytime context while the fight for equal marriage is still being fought.

Days of our Lives Star, Greg Vaughan, Gives Health Update and Thanks Everyone for Their Support

Greg Vaughan (Eric, Days of our Lives, ex-Lucky, GH, and ex-Diego, Y&R) provided an update on his health on Sunday, March 17th. Vaughan had previously shared that he had become ill during a trip with his sons to Colorado, and had developed altitude sickness when he was having trouble breathing accompanied by terrible headaches and landed in the urgent care.

Now on St. Patrick’s Day, Greg took to his Instagram and shared how he is feeling now, and to thank everyone for their love and support.  As it turned out, Vaughan was diagnosed with high altitude pulmonary edema, commonly known as HAPE. However, he is on the mend slowly and surely.

In his new video post, the DAYS favorite started by expressing, “I just felt such an appreciation and gratitude for everything. . reaching out. Your prayers have been felt. It’s been a struggle, but I’m over the top. And, taking this moment just to say I didn’t realize the things that I was going through. My (original) post was simply just to educate, put some information out there and some things that I was feeling, just share that information and the struggle that I was going through, which I didn’t quite understand. And it wasn’t because I’m stubborn or just because I’m a father, a man, and didn’t want to go to a doctor. It is just something I thought was so minor that I could overcome it, just by taking care of myself.”

The Daytime Emmy winner then revealed his actual diagnosis, “So, basically my situation was high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE). With some good friends, doctors that had reached out to me, it kind of gave me some understanding on the aftermath, which was very, very beneficial.”

“But I’ve been resting, taking care of myself even though I live in a hamster wheel,” said the dad of three teenaged boys. “I gotta get up and, you know, do my normal domesticated stuff, eventually. I’m tired of laying down in this bed, but, I am feeling much better.”

Talking on his confusion of trying to understand what could have been ailing him, Vaughan expressed, “I couldn’t quite figure it out, even though I was emphasizing and professing to my children going on our spring break getaway about hydration. I professed it. But, even though I was acting on it, it had a greater effect on me, and for which I did not even think, because my head was such in pain, and I was in a very bad state of mind – not being able to be out there with my kids on the mountain, enjoying their time, as well. I thought I was doing the right thing. Unfortunately, my lungs were full of fluids and my head was in severe pain and even migraine pills didn’t even help. So, I just want anybody that goes into the Colorado Mountains to know, it is no joke. It is this very serious thing which I guess is why they call it the Mile High City.”

Greg had a mountain of ‘thank you’s’ to give for the outreach he received from his original post, “For everybody internationally, wherever you are, I love you and I appreciate you and just the time and the thoughts that you’ve shared with me,” said Vaughan. “I didn’t realize that it would make such an impression on so many people around the world. I feel tremendously loved and I can’t say it enough. I’m good. And I appreciate you.”

Photo: GVaughanIG

The actor concluded his video with, “To all the family and friends that have reached out to me, man, it means the world. So take care of yourself, enjoy your spring break with your families. It’s Saint Patty’s Day, obviously. I wish I could be out there.” Vaughan added, “I feel loved and touched and I can’t emphasize that enough. I’ll take better care of myself, promise you will do the same.” Before he signed off, Greg shared, “Just know, that I’m alive and well and breathing, and I’m sore. So, be well, take care. I mean it. Thank you, tremendously.”

Glad to know that Greg has been on the mend, and shared his appreciation for everyone that reached out to him during this trying time? Comment below.

Days of our Lives Star Greg Vaughan Shares Sudden Health Scare: “I Truly Feel Like I Work & Live in a Soap Opera!”

What started out as an adventure with his sons, quickly turned into a nightmare for Days of our Lives Daytime Emmy winner, Greg Vaughan (Eric Brady).

In a series of Instagram posts, Vaughan shared the sudden health crisis he found himself in.  The images show Greg with an oxygen tank to help him breathe.

The actor began to fill people, sharing, “I’ve said more than a few times, I truly feel like I work & live in a Soap Opera! 🤪 this trip was nothing short of another great Vaughan adventure!”

He went on to say that on a father and son Colorado spring break trip, he began to feel shortness of breath, feeling tired and with a headache and after two days of hoping he would feel better, Vaughan finally went to an Urgent Care to get checked out.

Photo: GVaughanIG

“I finally surrendered & went to urgent care and to my shock I learned that I was experiencing severe altitude sickness.” Vaughan admitted. “My Blood Oxygen was at 54% & my lungs were full of fluids! Blood oxygen, also known as oxygen saturation, represents the percentage of hemoglobin in your red blood cells that is carrying oxygen. Most people have an oxygen level of 95-100%….”

Providing more detail to his health scare, Greg shared, “Well, 4hrs later, a couple of bags of IV & oxygen tank strapped to my face, I was told that I needed to immediately get off the mountain! However I couldn’t, we still had another day to go & wanting the boys to enjoy their last day on the hill tops! I opted to go home with an oxygen tank, a good laugh for everyone, and I know will follow, but my boys looked after their old man & fortunately they had friends on this trip!”

Photo: JPI

The experience of altitude sickness in the Colorado Rockies gave Vaughan a bit of a new perspective, “In all seriousness, no matter your age, and all the times I’ve ⛷️ & 🏂 in my lifetime, Colorado Rockies is no joke! As they say, ‘ take a breathe and smell the roses!’ That is truly something we need to remember & appreciate! #recover”

Share your well-wishes to Greg as he continues to be on the mend via the comment section below.
