So, if it is Chandler Massey (Will) (and please remember Jason only said "nominee") he could be another character, couldn't he?
I honestly cannot bear the idea that we watched Ben choke the life out of Will, his eyes still open, (Folks, you cannot keep your eyes open very long without blinking, if you are alive.) have a morgue, funeral, burial, etc. and then have him turn up alive.
In the past, those that turned up alive after being thought dead......no bodies, except for Steve, and with him, we saw that drug being put into his IV to make him appear dead, and also saw the coffin switch.
