The "Days of our Lives" cast members scheduled to appear at Suwanee's City Hall tonight have added a couple of other stops to their itinerary. Crystal Chappell, Eric Martsolf, James Reynolds, Nadia Bjorlin, Chandler Massey and Galen Gering also will attend a luncheon hosted by the Peachtree Village International Film Festival at Studioplex Studios and will visit the Atlanta Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Massey, a metro Atlanta native, will also spend some time with his relatives while he is here. The son of former Georgia Secretary of State Lewis Massey, he said he hasn't been back to see the folks in a while. "This will be a great opportunity," he said. His character, Will Horton, will see some opportunities of his own this year, the younger Massey said. "I know a lot of plot lines are kind of crazy -- amnesia, evil twins, being possessed," he said, ticking off a list of soap opera chestnuts. "What's happening to Will this summer, a lot of kids his age are going through." (Well, that narrows it down.) If you want to try coaxing a few more details out of the cast, they'll be at City Hall, 330 Town Center Ave., Suwanee, at 6 p.m. The appearance is free and open to the public. For more information see www.gwinnettpl.org or call 770-978-5154.
Speaking of "Days" cast members
Actor Clayton Landey played a character known as "evil Gregory" on "Days of Our Lives" in the early 1990s. More recently he's been seen on the Lifetime show "Drop Dead Diva," and you can look for him in the "Footloose" remake that was filmed here. Right now he's appearing in "The Little Foxes" at Theatre in the Square in Marietta, which got an A from AJC reviewer Wendell Brock (he doesn't just sprinkle A grades around like confetti, you know.) It's there through April 10. See www.theatreinthesquare.com.
