*Major spoilers for DOOL October 9th-19th*

I'm so sad. There was so much potential for Will's character, and the WilSon storyline, that I kind of feel cheated out of the past few years. I understand that killing Will gave the 'shock' factor to the red necktie killer storyline, but I wish his death had been more meaningful - he died waiting for Abby's cable guy for god's sake!!!

Anyway, enough about how I feel about the storyline, and instead onto the one good thing to come from it - the cast have been absolutely outstanding these past episodes. Every single day I have been bowled over by the performances of Alison Sweeney, Freddie Smith, Bryan Dattilo, Camila Banus, and the whole ensemble! Emmys all round!!

I wanted to make this as a little tribute, not only to Will, but to the amazing actors at Days who have absolutely slayed this storyline with their portrayals of Will's grieving friends and family.

This video was an absolute pain to render - my Vegas kept crashing! I've never had this much trouble trying to render a vid before, so please tell me if you like it!

Song info is at the start of the video.
