DAYS's Future For Will Uncertain

Young actor Christopher Gerse (Will Roberts) was to have made his final on-screen appearance on Days of our Lives, but due to some last minute changes the actor may very well be sticking around. The news was revealed by the actor in several posts made on his official web site.Gerse joined the cast of Days of our Lives in October 2003. According to a setside source, the casting department had been actively seeking out a new actor to play the role of Will. When Will returns from camp, which will presumably be sometime later this year, the role will have been "aged" to accommodate future storyline."Chris was a pleasure to work with over the past few years, and the cast and crew will miss him," a show spokesperson said in a statement. "We all wish him well.""I have been so lucky to have played the role of Will in 78 episodes," Gerse said in a post on his web site. "During my work on DAYS I got to learn from so many great people, talented actors, directors and crew. I am so grateful to Mr. Ken Corday and Mrs. Fran Bascom for casting me as Will Roberts, plus to Alison Sweeney [Sami], and Bryan Dattilo [Lucas] for being the greatest TV mom and dad."Gerse's final airdate was to have been June 21st, but there is word that the actor may appear in at least one more episode. Gerse will tape an episode on July 28th that will air sometime in August. The actor is then scheduled to go on a summer break, but it is unclear if the actor will be returning to the role or of the additional episode has been crafted to give the young actor a proper send-off. There is no word on when the newly-aged Will will make his first appearance nor have any names of possible candidates for the role been released.
