I only watch for Ej , Sami and their children including Will & Arianna Grace !!
Should read Chandler Massey.
I started watching Days of our Lives because of the Will and Sonny love story in September 2012. Chanmdler Massey and Freddie Smith drew me in with this story and their incredible acting skills. They are the reason I became a regular viewer. With the departure of Chandler in August 2013 (with Will’s scenes airing through January 2, 2014), I plan to continue to support the WilSon story as Guy Wilson assumes the role of Will as he and Freddie embarks on this continued journey together for as long as the writers give them stories to tell. The other storylines for EJ and Sammy and JJ and Theresa are OK but I mainly focus on WilSon as the main draw.
