    On Thursday July 11th, the final appearance of the late Bill Hayes (Doug) is streaming on Peacock on Days of our Lives, in scenes with his real-life wife, Susan Seaforth Hayes (Julie). As Doug and Julie, the longtime duo were daytime soap opera's first supercouple. Sadly, Bill passed away at the age of 98-years-old back in January of this year.
    Now, DAYS fans will see the last on-screen moments between Doug and Julie, which is part of television history. In a very candid, emotional and heartfelt interview, Susan opens up about taping those final scenes with Bill, how she changed the dialog to make it be what she felt it needed to convey, where the genesis of Doug's final line to Julie came from, and more.
    In addition, Susan shares for the first time the final moments of Bill's life, how she has continued to solider on to play Julie without Doug, working in current story with Billy Flynn (Chad DiMera) and much more.
    July 11th is also Susan's birthday, and we send our love and well-wishes to her. Let us know what you thought of our conversation by dropping a comment below.

    I will forever miss my dad who died in August of 2000 and my mom who passed in April of 2023. It doesn't hurt it just aches! Grieving changes over time and you just get through it with the help of those around you who can relate to a loved one dying!!!! Susan will heal and get better day after day it just takes time to heal her heart! Praying for all who have loved and lost !!!

      You're absolutely right. My mom died on February 13, 2007. About a month before we got a puppy. We named her daisy because it was her favorite flower. We lost daisy on February 13, 2021. It was a very rough day.

    Thank you, Michael, for this beautiful interview with Susan. When she broke down the details of her rewriting the last scene of her and Bill Hayes, I had to cry. It was so beautiful the way she described it and Bill's last moments on this Earth. Everything she said was so moving. And it even took me back to when I saw my mother die in hospice 12 years ago.
    Kudos for Susan to persevere through this -- as PT Barnum would say "The show must go on.". And it has for Susan.
    I am glad that Ken Corday gave her carte blanche to rewrite that scene and to make it their tribute to their long lasting love both on screen and off.
    My condolences and continued prayers to Susan, her family, and to the Days Of Our Lives family during this time.
    I know that Bill's funeral, which will be a huge part of the 15000th episode that will kick off the 60th anniversary year of the show, will be a VERY lasting tribute to Bill/Doug and what he meant to the show and us.
    Thanks again, Michael, for this beautiful interview.

    Ok... I am bawling 💔 My mother started watching this show from the very beginning.... if I remember correctly, she said it began as a 15 minute show... regardless, I actually remember watching this show with her and I am 65 years old! I remember when Doug began - as quite the scoundrel - and I remember loving him with Addie and crying when she died - but I also remember loving the original SuperCouple of Doug and Julie.... I loved when Hope was a little girl and Doug and Robert would sing to her.... and I remember - and loved - Doug's Place ❤ We were so blessed to have had this honest and truly amazing love story of Susan and Bill Hayes - and to have had Doug and Julie's great love story for all these many decades! Bill had a very blessed and long life and I will be forever grateful to my mother - who is no longer with me - for getting me hooked on this beloved Soap! As long as it is on - I will be a loyal viewer - but I deeply wish these writers would bring back the family that it was always based on: The Hortons! We need Abigail to be alive, we need Jack and Jennifer to return and run The Spectator, and we need Lucas to be a permanent fixture in Salem! I want to see the core characters being front and center again! I hope Susan/Julie and Suzanne/Maggie stay with us for years to come! May God continue to bless Susan with health and strength so she can make it thru this very very difficult time ❤ I am also thrilled that Bill's final airing was on her birthday and that the PTB allowed her to do their last scenes together in the way she wanted them to be - which makes them all the more special ❤ God Bless you Susan Seaforth Hayes ❤❤❤ and thank you, Michael, for a beautiful "moment" with this lovely lovely woman we all love so much 💔

      Actually, it started as a 30 minute show, not 15 minutes. So check your facts straight before you post them online. You might learn something.

Bill will be missed so much! Thank you, Michael, for this emotional but beautiful interview. And thank you Susan for sharing your love and life with Bill. In our hearts forever.

    Bill Hayes was the body and soul of Doug Williams. He and his wife Susan Seaforth-Hayes shared their final episode and final scene on Days of Our Lives for the last time as Doug and Julie Williams on Days. Rest in peace Billy. Doug's funeral will come soon and the return of Doug and Julie Williams's beloved daughter Hope Williams-Brady minus Bo Brady who's still in a coma and many more other members of the Horton family.
