Days Of Our Lives
The Jen Lilley, Blake Berris, Casey Deidrick, Chandler Massey Interview – Days of Our Lives

34
Love it! Thank you. The four seem to make each other brilliant! Sad to see most of them leave DAYS soon.
Fun interview but two observations : First, maybe “Rafe 2” was fun for Galen Gering to play but it was AWFUL for the audience, one of the worst story Days has done..and they done a lot..lol, i stopped watching for a while because of this Rafe garbage..puke Secondly Chad should have been written as a Dark character, it would made the character more interesting, with more stories and far more fun to play for the actor imho. And just to say : i would be more interested by watching an Nick/Theresa pairing than seeing Nick stuck with bland and whiny… Read more »
Too bad you came back
Nope it’s not too bad for my own entertainment, and it is what matter to me, ha !
I know there are a lot of fans who will be delighted if Chandler can convince Corday to recast Will. But for me, Chandler will always be Will. I can’t imagine the same chemistry between Freddie and someone new. Plus it would be weird having two different WilSons on my blog. So for me, the end of Chandler is the end of WilSon and the end of Days. The only reason I watched was because I discovered Freddie and Chandler on a commercial, watched YT clips to catch up on the storyline and found they are amazing actors so I… Read more »
Estoy al 100% con usted ..para mi willson NO sera y igual ..y sera el fin de ellos dos ..no quiero otro will ..y tambien entiendo las razones de Chandler x mejorar.. espero un bonito fin ..unque como dije para mi sera el fin de WILLSON .
if Chandler must leave the show…the LAST thing I want is a recast. Will & Sonny are too special to us…and Chandler will only ever be Will. PLEASE someone convince Ken Corday NOT to recast Will. I can’t even imagine someone else standing in Chandler’s spot and having the chemistry he does with Freddie. NOPE can’t picture it. This interview just made me sad! I can’t make it to the fan event…and looks like my chances of ever meeting Chandler are now zero because he really is leaving. And Chandler thinks they will recast? POOEY. this sucks. 🙁 all good… Read more »
HE wants for them to recast..not sure the show will do it..at least for a long time..in part because of the die hard Wilson fanbase backlash..
Thanks for posting the interview and I’m so glad that Chandler continues to understand and acknowledge that Will, as a character will and should have more stories, after he, the actor moves on from DAYS.
I hope TPTB will stop trying to keep folks contented with saying that the role of Will won’t be recast. It won’t make the transition/change smooth for the show, the writers, Freddie (as Sonny) and the actor that will be chosen as the recast Will.
I agree with your comment completely.
I agree and i love Chandler Massey portrayal..just rewatched some fallout from the Gabby/Nick first wedding attempt and CM really standout to me..his acting was really real and rough..almost like he was not on a cheesy daytime soap but on prime time..realistic acting..I love lot’s of other actors of this soap (maybe even more than CM) but on this soap he was just the most natural..This proved to me he can really go better and bigger if he wants, he has the acting skills for it..So good move FOR him to move on and having a degree (smart move, will… Read more »
I did not mean ‘on this soap’ i meant on these fallout wedding scenes..my bad.
Rafe2 was a a rake and GG did a great job portraying him with what must have been an exhausting pace. I’m really curious about Nick’s look-a-like and what that all means. I love that Blake extended his contract because his character adds so much interest to the show. Him mixing it up more with Theresa would be a delightful treat for Days fans. Sorry to hear there won’t be more story of those two together. That said, I’m totally swept up in the Gabi/Nick relationship. The chemistry is there and I want to see them work it out. Hate… Read more »
I liked Blake bringing up that lose end with Chad/Nick. I’ve been wondering about that myself and was always hopeful they’d make good on it. Oh well!
Hope we get to see more of Nick soon. He’s kind of been backburned since May/June and I miss seeing him. I am disappointed to hear he and Jen have only had that one episode together so far. I thought it was the first scenes to something brewing but I guess not.
And by “lose”, I meant “loose”.
Fun interview!!! Thanks Michael!
As someone who has always found the chemistry between WilSon lacking, I’d love to see Will recasted with someone who fits better with Freddie Smith. I wish we could get Brant Daugherty (he auditioned for it previously) for the role because Brian and Sonny had smoking hot chemistry as did Chad and Sonny and Will and Chad. I will miss Chandler for his individual talent which sometimes could be amazing and I agree that Chad was severely marginalized (especially in the first half of 2012) which a shame.
Brant Daugherty is on a prime time show and i am not sure he would be interested by a daytime longterm gig when he can find work on prime time..come on.. If for a long period he doesn’t find work..maybe (just happened to Darin Brooks who after Days moved on prime time..then is now coming back on daytime land as Whyatt on B&B or Blake Berris actually) but otherwise i don’t think so..For most actors daytime is not the goal..those who stay are the minority..i am still amazed than folks like Alison Sweeney did not move to prime time..although she… Read more »
Exactly. I will never understand when I see fans wanting people like Chandler to stay on Days when soaps are NOT what most actors, especially young ones, aspire to in the entertainment business. I can understand wanting your faves to stick around but this is a business and every actor is going to do what is best for his/her career. And most don’t want to be a soap opera actor…that’s just how it is.
for us fans the reason we watch days is because of Wilson and only Wilson if chandler lives days of our lives they will loose ratings and fans big time do the right thing and stay on days chandler do the right thing chandler you can do both know if you live you be breaking your fans hearts
Love Jen as Theresa – she’s a breath of fresh air. I’ve always been a fan of Blake, terrific actor. I’ll miss Casey, Days missed the boat by not fully developing his character. I’ve enjoyed Chandler too but I give him two big thumbs up for putting his education first! These actors are a huge part of a group that should be the primary focus of Days. And it is very apparent that Days filming schedule is the culprit of another actor leaving with Eileen Davidson making similar comments. Days needs to rotate their stories so 1 set of actors… Read more »
BLAKE BERRIS IS HE BEST ACTOR ON THE SHOW!!!
I HOPE HE IS ON MORE BEFORE LEAVING FOR ANOTHER MOVIE.
I SOOOO hope… he’s happy on that set.
IF THE WRITING CONTINUES TO BE AS GOOD AS IT’S BEEN.
we can hope … that the producers’ etc…. give him plenty of outs to exercise his acting muscles… and he always comes home to Salem.
even Chandler Massey stated…. Blake Berris is the most interesting character in Salem.
couldn’t agree more.
He really needs to stick to one story because this is driving me crazy and I really hope that he will decide to stay on if not full time but as recurring until he gets done with school and If he does decide to leave I seriously hope that Corday reconsiders about not recasting Will because personally I don’t really pay attention to how characters are being portrayed by the actor. So with that said I am more attached to the character and not the actor but I will miss him and if Corday was planning on recasting Will. I… Read more »
#1. Jenn Lilly is the spitting image… of vixen on top creme de la creme…. Donna Mills.
I love it…. I intimated as much…. when she first started….
she was vamping Daniel…. when he came to Jenn’ office.
she purred hot kitten…. “what can I do for you”
check out that HOT picture of her on TOP.
HOT – Blake.
HOT – Jenn.
HOT – Chandler.
HOT – Casey.
where do we go from here….
I love my DAYS.
so interesting
applaud the casting director and production
it’s a real treat to enjoy the younger set of talent.
the veteran cast… must relish their – DAYS – find. it’s marvelous to watch their budding character development and the actor’ treat us .. the fans… to pure delight.
OK… I love this cast.
hey, and I mean this about JJ as well.
“… Maybe I am shooting two or three scenes a day where I can discover and explore,” you’ve got to give it to Chandler Massey. You prevailed… you deserve the accolades… you emmy winner 4 years worth of material… so many people benefited the experience…. the gay community…. PFLAG….parents and friends of lesbian and Gay. I will always know… DAYS delivered heartfelt material and found an audience. riveting stuff. Thank you. I think DAYS down the road may recast… and i’m more than OK with that…. I like that NBC – Sony – DAYS… went with showcasing…. Justin – Adrienne… Read more »
I don’t know why… it was said… that the show… may not pit… together….
Theresa and Nick.
what a cat dance…. what a show. two actors who act with their minds first… and the physical is cake and frosting…..
tantalizing prospect
DAYS! puhlease don’t go over the top with the ‘special’ Daniel…… and cat on a hot tin roof Jeanne Theresa Donovan…. she’s too legit … to waste, and alter her take… thus far. She’s GOOD.
I think it’s OK for Will… to want Sonny to still live his life and enjoy what he can. even tho… I love that Sonny emphatically states and comes across as accepting his life with Will…. baggage and all. If they play it out as Will… hesitating and “unsure” of … it’s part Sammi… and Will’s not insecure… just mindful. He needs to know… certain… that LOVE is him. He and Sonny are LOVE. loving… and embracing their being. you can accept that he wouldn’t necessarily believe this… being Sammi’s offspring. I don’t think it’s in Wills behavior to be… Read more »
Nick…. Blake Berris.
i’ve missed you…. don’t you dare go any where….
I hope this… as your acting is key and element to DAYS being.
his range of emotion is beautiful to watch.
i loved his scene with Maggie… as she stops him at the door…. and she motheringly… wants him to open up about Gabbi and Arianna Grace.
Nick…. “It’s Gone”
he chides her…”it’s none of your business….” that he only had that one session with a “therapist”.
hence… more to come about Nick and Blake.
I don’t like gay storylines so I fast forward through them so it wouldnt matter to me if RuPaul was the next actor to play Will. I do wish Chandler and Casey all the best. Casey could have been such a breakout star but sadly it never materialized. Jen is doing awesome as Rowdy Theresa..I can’t wait until the show delves into why she is the way she is. I hope there is no prostitution like momma Kim. And Blake is always amazing. I hope they can get him back to the awkward fun loving geek he first was instead… Read more »
what about a nick and thersea pairing nick aught to give up on gabi and move on with thersea she seems fearless unlike gabi
Puzzled that you all balk at Will/Chandler’s jealousy: recall Cheddie’s remark that Sammi loves so many men to the exclusion of her own son Will: then again, recall that Chan describes himself as jealous to the core, nothing wrong with that, it makes for absolute possessiveness and devotion, over the top. Despite looks, talent, intelligence and angst-causing humility, Chaeddie is insecure…nothing wrong with that, it makes for a beautiful guy…give him a break and not expect him to be as perfect as he needs to be to be at peace. Admire and appreciate him for the love he shares with… Read more »
