Ever since it was announced that Days of our Lives is bringing back some classic characters for a limited series on Peacock, people have been asking me if Will and Sonny will return.  I’m pleased to tell you that Chandler Massey has signed on to reprise the role of Will on Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem.  That’s the good news.  Fans will be sad to hear that Emmy winner Freddie Smith will not be back as Sonny.  However, different actors take over roles on soaps all the time.  Sonny will be back, but he’ll be played by the hunky Zachary Atticus Tinker, formerly Fen on The Young and the Restless.  Smith congratulated his replacement on Instagram by saying, “I want to give a shout out to Zach Tinker.  Congratulations, man.  I know you are taking over the role of Sonny Kiriakis.  You are going to have an absolute blast.  He’s an awesome character and it’s such an important storyline.  I know you’re going to crush it so have fun and I can’t wait to check it out on Peacock.”
