In sad news, veteran actor Bill Hayes, known for his role as Doug Williams on the popular soap opera 'Days of Our Lives,' passed away on Friday at the remarkable age of 98. With a career that spanned over seven decades, Hayes left an indelible mark on the television industry.
Hayes joined the cast of 'Days of Our Lives' in 1970, just five years after the show's debut. Little did he know at the time that his life would change forever on the set of the fictional town of Salem. It was here that he met his future wife, actress Susan Seaforth, who played the character of Julie Williams. Their on-screen romance soon blossomed into a real-life love story, and the couple tied the knot in 1974. Just two years later, their characters followed suit and were married on the show.
