Days of Our Lives honored Bill Hayes in his final appearance, six months after his death. Bill, known for his role as Doug Williams, had been with the show since 1970 and shared an iconic on-screen and real-life love story with Susan Seaforth Hayes, who played Julie.
Their partnership made them one of TV’s first “super-couples,” and they even appeared on the cover of Time Magazine.
Bill’s final scene with Susan aired on July 11, 2024, on Susan’s 81st birthday, where they shared an emotional moment reflecting on their love and adventures.
Susan wrote the final line, “Give me another kiss,” adding a personal touch to their heartfelt farewell. The episode served as a touching tribute to Bill’s legacy.
