Chandler Massey came to Suwanee last year on a memorable 'Days Of Our Lives' tour.
Excitement has been building for the Massey family of Peachtree Corners. Their 21-year-old son, Chandler Massey, a Norcross High School graduate who landed a role on a daytime television show two years ago, is heading to the big screen with the debut of his first film.

The large turnout last month in Suwanee has organizers considering an encore.
The recent turnout in Suwanee for the "Days Of Our Lives" cast appearance has tour organizers thinking of a return trip to the Atlanta area.

New Orleans, the stop following Suwanee, had about 1,000 fans come to see several cast members.

Fans from as far away as North Carolina, Tennessee and Alabama began lining up at Suwanee's City Hall in mid-afternoon March 21. Two lines -- one for book purchases, one strictly for …

Among those attending were Massey's parents, Lewis and Amy, his brother and sister, and his grandparents. The fervor was that …
