There was always this vibe that Michael Socha was just randomly put on OUaT, because ABC did not want to loose him to another network. The fact that OUaTiW was a ratings failure should have been enough of a sign, that Will would never be intergraded well into the cast. It did not help that Eddy and Adam tried to hype the character. Plus, I am also going to put some blame on the fandom, for have unattainable expectations.
