Appearance[]
Will Rollins was a young dark-haired man who was born in the town of Springwood, Illinois around the year 1985. In 1999, when he was only 14-years-old, he began dating a girl named Lori Campbell.
Story[]
Will Rollins dated Lori Campbell when the two of them were 14 years old. Although they were young, Lori insisted that their relationship "was real."
Crawling up the wall to second story window to Lori's room, Will thought that he saw Lori's father Dr. Campbell killing her mother.
Around this time, the town of Springwood, Ohio developed a plan in order to defeat Freddy Krueger. They erased all mention of him in the town and then quarantined all of the teenagers who had heard of him in Westin Hills Psychiatric Hospital. Will was committed to the hospital, although it's never made clear if this was because of a personal vendetta by Dr. Campbell or because of Freddy Krueger.
Will was unable to say goodbye to Lori before he was committed and she simply thought he moved away without seeing her.
