Days of Our Lives: Wally Kurth on exit of Freddie Smith & Chandler Massey: “These two wonderful actors … consistently gave their best”

Wally Kurth plays the father of Sonny Kiriakis (Freddie Smith) on Days of Our Lives.

He’s shared many scenes with Smith over the years and his character has been steadfastly supportive of his gay son and of his son’s relationship – and marriage – to Will Horton (Chandler Massey).

Days has inexplicably decided to write the gay super couple off the show despite their immense popularity and four Emmys between them.

Kurth took to Twitter over the weekend in public support of the two actors: “These two wonderful actors and terrific young men, consistently gave their best and it made @nbcdays the best it’s ever been. I will truly miss working with them. And I look forward to their return.”
