Bill Hayes’ Final Appearance On DAYS

The airdate coincides with the 81st birthday of Hayes’ widow and onscreen wife Susan Seaforth Hayes (Julie Williams).

A spokesperson for DAYS previously shared with Soap Opera Digest that the NBC sudser intended to honor the actor and his beloved character in epic fashion. They relayed, “Doug William’s funeral is giving us the opportunity to welcome some important and fan-favorite, legacy characters back to Salem, including Gloria Loring, Stephen Schnetzer, and more. The episodes taping this week include Doug’s funeral and the historic 15,000th episode. They will not air until December 2024.”
