Soffer joined the show in September 2004, signing on to play the downtrodden Will Munson. He became the fourth actor to play Will, but the first to take on the character as a young adult. When Soffer took over, he brought Will into a new stage of his life by dealing with his character's responsibility for Rose's death, and his reintroduction to life in Oakdale after being incarcerated in a mental hospital.
Landon pulled off a rare threepeat at the Daytime Emmys, winning the Outstanding Younger Actress trophies in 2006, 2007, and 2008. Soffer, though not an Emmy winner, received nominations in the Younger Actor category in each of the years that Landon won. The pair make their return to week of July 5.
A spokesperson for As the World Turns could not confirm Landon and Soffer's returns.
