Confirmed: Guy Wilson Leaving 'Days of our Lives'

Guy Wilson

Last month, we reported the unconfirmed rumor we were hearing from multiple sources that Guy Wilson was leaving Days of our Lives and the role of Will Horton. Serial Scoop can now confirm Wilson's departure, as well as the upcoming death of Will.

Even though viewers see Will die in the next month, it's hard to believe a legacy character--the firstborn of Sami Brady, no less--would be axed from a show looking to beef up its next generation. Perhaps Will could return from the dead someday. In the world of soap operas, anything is possible.

Wilson debuted on Days in January 2014, replacing three-time Emmy winner Chandler Massey in the role.

First Thoughts on Guy Wilson as the New Will Horton on DAYS OF OUR LIVES

Guy Wilson debuted as the new Will Horton on DAYS OF OUR LIVES on Wednesday, January 8, 2014. "You're not gonna believe this!" That was actor Guy Wilson's first line in his debut as the new Will Horton on DAYS OF OUR LIVES. Well, believe it! Over the years many relative unknown thespians, who later turned out to be excellent actors, even Emmy winners, made their daytime soap opera debuts and looked like stiffs. This is a different medium, with a lot of dialogue to memorize, where getting it right on the first take is desired. It's understandable if a new actor in a daytime drama takes not just one, but several episodes to settle in. It's happened time and again so I give them a pass. Luckily, Wilson doesn't need one. He performed like a seasoned pro on Day One.
