Move over Celeste! Bryan Dattilo (Lucas) is Salem’s newest resident fortune teller!
The actor tells Soap Hub that he had a vision that Chandler Massey would return to Days of our Lives (DOOL) as Will — even though the character had been killed off by Batty Ben back in 2015!

Dattilo shares that Massey didn’t think that his TV dad’s vision would come true.
“He’s like, ‘No way, man! It’ll never happen! It’ll never happen!'” The actor reminded his young co-star that many people who’ve left Salem “forever” have returned to DAYS.

“He doesn’t force anything, nothing’s driven down your throat. It’s great for me because sometimes I get ahead of myself, so Chandler keeps me grounded.”
