Brief Character History
Will Reed was born on November 16, 1995 as William Reed, named after Austin's sister Billie. Until 1997, Austin Reed was presumed to be his father, but in 1997, Sami learned that Lucas was the boys father. For a lot of years, Will was a quiet, eager to please little boy, but in the summer of 2002, he became a very obnoxious child, often talking back to his parents, calling them by their first names, and because he was starting to play rougher with other children, ended up hurting his cousin Abby more than once.
Will has since become a very unhappy little boy. Both his parents are suspects in the Salem Stalker murder case, and even though his mother denies it, Will believes his father may be drinking again. After catching his parents in a few compromising positions, Will has begun to hope that maybe the two will get together, and he will be like 'the other kids', with a father and mother who live together.
