New Will (Read 293 times)

[Kpatch]

Not sure if he can still be referred to as new, but what do you all think of him now that he's had some time to get into the role?

[rockfordfosgate]

I like him and most of the time I don't have a problem thinking of him as Will. But there are times I sit there watching and wish I could see Chandler Massey's version of Will and how he'd handle certain scenes. The proposal and the wedding I wish could have been Chandler's version.

I am fine with the new Will. Chandler's frequent smirking drove me nuts. I find the character boring much of the time regardless of which actor is playing the role.

I am enjoying the new Will much more than the last. IMO, the acting is far better. However, Sonny still remains the only reason that I'm at all invested in the couple. I hope Sonny will be given preference in any WilSon storylines going forward. I've had my fill of William occupying the spotlight.

I totally agree that I'm ready for the focus of the couple to shift to Sonny. In fact, I'd love to see a bigger focus on the Kiriakis family in general, as opposed to the Hortons and Bradys. I'm hoping that might happen with some of the many cast exits we have coming up.

I personally liked Chandler and his sense of humor. This one is okay.

I really don't care for this Will. I thought Chandler was a much better actor and I guess I'm the only one who never noticed the smirks.

I find the current Will's acting very hollow and stiff. Maybe that's the new acting style because it's been used by oldBen, Jordan, Rafe, John, and Lucas.

I like Sonny a lot and feel like he's ready to burst forth with talent, if only they would feed him the meat, instead of just the side dishes.

I'm not liking him all that much. I haven't been able to watch all that much but I am just not that impressed.

I don't care for him. He seems emotionless. I don't see the chemistry between this Will & Sonny the way I did Chandler's Will. I would have LOVED to have seen how Chandler's Will would have reacted to some of this stuff. Towards the end, I did see where Chandler was smirking more and more and it seemed to be at the most inappropriate times. Almost like he was starting to try to hard to prove himself towards the end.

I'm ready for Sonny to be the focus at some point tho too. This has been the "all about Will" story for long enough now.

[fluffysmom]

I'd like to see more of Sonny and less of Will.

I don't really like him as much as I liked Chandler's Will. I am not sure if it's the writing or the way he is. I just can't get invested in him (he's sort of boring to me).

[fluffysmom]

I've found Will boring for a long time. He was interesting when he was struggling with his sexuality.

[wendylou]

Okay, I've finally figured out what bothers me about "New" Will because it was really evident to me today. When I watch him it's like I can see him acting. I know soap actors aren't always known as the best but I think some of them are really good. I thought Chandler was really good and today, I felt Sonny's sadness a lot more than Will's and Will is supposed to be her best friend, baby daddy, etc.

He doesn't have a big range of facial expressions, does he?

[wendylou]

It's like he's thinking, "Okay, tilt your head and make a sad face now." Maybe he just hasn't had a lot of life experiences to draw from.

[rockfordfosgate]

Yeah there is a definite stiffness there in his reactions and facial expressions.

wendylou, that "tilt your head and make a sad face now" has me rolling over here.
