Will Horton Will Horton is a fictional character from the American soap opera Days of Our Lives, known for award-winning storylines including a highly-praised coming out story,[3][4][5] award-winning performances by actor Chandler Massey,[6][5][7] and as one half of US daytime drama's first male gay wedding and marriage.[8] The character first appeared on November 16, 1995, as a newborn child who is initially called Will Reed. His mother Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney) acts as if Austin Reed (Austin Peck) is the father so Austin might marry her, and when Sami later realizes that Will must actually be the son of Lucas Roberts (Bryan Dattilo), she tries to prevent others finding out.[9] Two years later the truth comes out, and Will, who is renamed Will Roberts,[10] has a "tumultuous upbringing" due to his parents' ever-changing love lives, and their machinations as they fight each other for custody. As a child, Will does everything he can to bring his parents together, so they can be a "real family"; whereas his grandma Kate Roberts (Lauren Koslow) schemes to keep his parents apart.[9] In 2007, Lucas, now in love with Sami and angry at Kate's interference, changes his and Will's surname to Horton (after Lucas's father).[10][11][12]
