Days of Our Lives” spoilers reveal that Chandler Massey is officially returning as Will Horton. The news was announced on Monday, and many fans are thrilled about having the actor back in Salem. Of course, the character of Will was killed off back in 2015, so it should be interesting to see how the soap brings him back to life.

According to Blasting News, “Days of Our Lives” fans will be seeing Chandler Massey reprise his role as Will Horton in September. The actor is already on set filming, and will begin airing this fall. As many viewers know, Massey, who won three Daytime Emmys for this work as Will, left the soap back in 2013. The role was then recast with actor Guy Wilson, who played Will Horton until the day he was killed by The Necktie Killer, Ben Weston.
