Younger Actor - Chandler Massey

[@lukeevans5427]

This scene was flawless. Chandler Massy in this scene is everything I could ever want from a scene like this. His fear, his distress, his desperation is palpable. And it's something every gay person has had to deal with at some point in time. I remember that feeling like it was yesterday, and Chandler captured it with such raw, impeccable honesty that you'd think he knew what it was like. When he breaks down begging Marlena to just tell him what to do... those Emmy's were WELL deserved.

Chandler Massey’s performance was so real, showing the agony some young men feel when coming to grips with their true self. It was moving and very powerful and deservedly won the actor three consecutive Daytime Emmys. The fact that he’s back and the writers have allowed the character to grow, get married, have a child and become an well rounded adult (within the boundaries of Daytime drama, of course) says mountains for both the show and the actor. Deirdre Hall’s performances Marlena wasn’t too shabby either.

Days of Our Lives really handled Will's coming out amazingly

I love marlena and their relationship!

[@anthonybirkholz6104]

He is such a brilliant actor. I feel like he is living my life. The process of "coming out" is probably the a huge struggle. Especially at a young and vulnerable age. Chandler is an amazing actor. Especially since he is straight and plays the struggling guy coming to terms of his sexuality. This may be the best performance of the whole series.

AMAZING AWESOME TRUE LOVE DOOL

3:32 Great bit of acting there, and quite subtle. Marlena rubbing tears away from her eyes.

[@HSMfanatic17]

Are you sure she was just acting? That might have been a genuine moment of emotion from her because of the power of his performance and she's skilled enough to turn it into a subtle bit of acting.

I broke down so hard seeing Deidre Hall hold Chandler. It was truly a heartbreaking scene. So damn many kids are desperate to have that love!

I can't get over how beautiful his grandma is.

[@andreamaria85]

Can we bring these two back?

Marlena is a step above from Sami.

[@gbrown932]

As a gay man who was married to a woman early in life I feel his pain.

[@kallistiX1]

He's so broke up about being gay and Marlena is just like "Boy! Is that all?! I thought was the Devil or identical siblings or Stefano or your mother. You nearly gave me a heart attack!"
