DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Sonny and Will Say Their Final Goodbyes and Leave Salem
Not a happy day for fans of Days of our Lives’ WilSon. Although it has been known now for over seven months that Daytime Emmy-winners, Chandler Massey (Will) and Freddie Smith (Sonny) were let-go from the long-running NBC soap opera, it still was hard to watch them have their final scenes on Tuesday’s episode.
As was in the dialogue, the writers and the show left the door open for a Sonny and Will return down the line when Sonny uttered: “Goodbye Salem, for now.” And, as is with most DAYS characters, they seem to somehow return at one time or another. But still, it looks like the soap has made the decision to rest the characters.
Before their final exit, Sonny and Will had a visit with Sami (Alison Sweeney) to tell her they are moving to Arizona. Sami is up to her eyeballs in trouble with the custody hearing for Allie’s baby versus Nicole (Arianne Zucker). Will tells his mother he wants her blessing before they go, and that he already received a blessing from Marlena (Deidre Hall).
An emotional Sami tells Will how sorry she is for all the things she has done, and the mistakes she had made when she was younger and along the way that impacted him. In tears, Will says he is going to miss her, and the two of then share a hug,
After Sami leaves to head to the custody hearing, Will and Sonny look at Allie’s baby and the two talk about how things worked out for the best; even though Allie did not ultimately let them adopt her child. The two realize they are about to give their daughter, Ari, a new life and Will thinks another baby and a dog might be in their future, too!

Later, it’s time for one last look at Horton Town Square, and Sonny and Will remember their love from the beginning in a short flashback with a few moments of how they came together.
Will says it’s a tradition for when a Horton leaves Salem to visit the dedication to Tom and Alice in the ‘Square’. Finally, it’s time for Sonny and Will to say goodbye to Salem for now as they walk out together..
So, what did you think of the final episode of Chandler and Freddie’s? Did you want more time spent on WilSon’s history in the flashback montage? Are you sad to see them go? Comment below.

Yes, a proper montage with all the scripted flashbacks. I have a feeling some were cut. How unfortunate. But what was included was still touching. Drew tears for this fan.
Hopefully they will be back by the Hellidays, just like Rafe, Gabi, and most probably Ciara & Hope.
It’s Feb2021 and Sonny and Will are still gone.
Sad to see them go.
No offense, but, it was time. The moment Will got his memories back was the moment I was ready for him and Sonny to exit stage left. The character of Will worked so much better without his familiar memories, and Chandler Massey worked so much better with Christopher Sean (ex-Paul). I would welcome Massey and only Massey back anytime!
Very sad to see them leave the show
I can’t believe they let them go unbelievable.Love Will and Sonny on the show.
BIGGEST MISTAKE. Their ratings still suck as of February 2021. And the fan backlash has failed to get Ken Corday and Ron Corivati to budge. The longer Chandler Massey and Freddie Smith are gone the increased chance they’ll move on and won’t be able or want to return to Days of Our Lives.
Ron Carlivati is Gay himself. I don’t think he had any choice. NBC was being hard nosed. Which means that budget was not the reason. Storyline was.
I lined it. But AM STUPID FURIOUS that we got no explanation why those idiots fired them. I have not watched since. I hope they come back full time soon. But will not hold my breath.
