Chandler Massey and Freddie Smith to exit ‘Days of Our Lives’

Freddie Smith (Sonny Kiriakis) revealed the disappointing news to fans and followers via a vlog post that both he and Chandler Massey (Will Horton) have been released from their contracts from Days of Our Lives on NBC. They were a part of the same-sex super couple that was affectionately known as “Wilson.”

They will be filming their final scenes together this week, and their final airdate together is slated for mid-September.

Massey holds three Emmy Awards (for Outstanding Younger Actor in a Drama Series) to his credit, and Smith is the recipient of one Emmy Award in the same category as Massey.

“Wish it wasn’t coming to an end, but I will be forever grateful to everyone who went on this journey with us,” Massey told his fans and followers via a tweet.

“I will miss Salem so much,” Smith exclaimed via a social media post. He went on to thank everybody for “all the incredible love and support” over the years. “I really feel we told a love story that will live on forever,” he remarked.
