I love Bill Hayes! I didn't know him back then because I never watched this show back in those days. I first started watching back in 2005. And I fell in love with the show ever since. I love his character Doug, he's one of my favorite characters in the show he was so nice,sweet, calm, and patient. I was so sad when Bill died I loved him and he will be missed. And he's so handsome 🥰
One of my favorite characters. Especially during the early years when he used to sing and had the Dug ‘s Place. He will be missed. Rest in peace Bill. My condolences to Susan and the family 🙏🏽🙏🏽.
I’ve been watching Days since it’s very first airing. Would watch with my mom, it was our special time. My mom passed when I was 18, but every time I watch it brings back those special memories! RIP “Doug” & my prayers are for “Julie” to be granted strength in this difficult time!
My Dad used to make fun of me watching a soap opera. Until he started working nights one summer. I was off from school, he watched over my shoulder, and became a Days fan. My fondest memory when watching it still. RIP Bill Hayes 🌻
I was watching when Doug came on the show and how the two of them hooked up-Wow never would have thought they would marry in real life! Guess it was meant to be❤️
I also hope Charles Dolan, Arnaldo Pomodoro, and Joe Negri all make it to 98 as well. Even if they all do not make it to 100, they will still live long enough to make it to a ripe old age.
I know we can't live forever but sure wish the great ones like Bill / Doug could... Been watching DOOL almost from it's debut - Bill away's made me smile, remember his singing & dancing at Doug's Place. A true actor, performer and gentleman. R.I.P. Bill and my heart goes out to Susan and his family..
A great loss to the entertainment industry and your fans I’ve watch Mr Hayes my whole life from day one when Days first aired sitting with my mom now 58 he was in my home every day, what an amazing and talented man he was part of my dearest memories and joys A life time of watching days you could tell he truly loved his coworkers as much as he surely loved his grieving family, I will truly miss his beautiful smile on days. RIP Mr Hayes 🇨🇦
I watched Bill since first episode. I watched him and Susan fall in love. What a sad loss but, he left a wonderful legacy. I Pray for Susan and their family to get through this hard time. Bill will always be loved. He brought so much to Days.
He was a great asset to the show. Could see the love in his character and sure it was also in true life. Condolences to his family and wife, Ms Susan Seaforth Hayes. God Bless his new singing Angel.
Rest in peace Bill, sending my condolences to Susan and the family. He will be missed.❤️Thank you for sharing your humor and entertainment you gave to all of us. XO
I haven't been watching Days, but I us to with my GRANNY!! I LOVE both of them and my Thoughts and Prayers for Susan is very heart felt! Love Always and I have to start watching it again so I can see him in his Glory!❤❤❤
Doug and Julie I have been watching DOOL since 1962 with my grandma. I am 66 years old and never miss an episode. Doug and Julie seeing you on the show always made me feel safe and made me believe in love. I will miss you Doug and Julie sending you my love prayers and hugs.
My mom and I used to watch the surgery day when it was on for 15 minutes. It’s the only soap I watch now RIP, Bill Hayes. Prayers for Susan you live a good and long life.
I was I was grow up on day of our lives I love the actor and the show and the joy of soap opera they great 😃👍 heart warming and a joy to us the greatest thing on bay time tv.❤😂 They are family to us to think to you all just keep it going for the fans we love it all.
My heart hurts for Susan 😢and their family. No words can take the pain away I think the best thing we can do is pray 🙏 for all including his DOOL family
I hope they give Susan long enough to grieve before they plan the death of Doug storyline, and I hope they include her in the planning. I lost my husband of over 50 years , suddenly, to covid in early 2020.(one of the first) The pain does not dissipate quickly. Not when you have a love like we, and I suspect , they had.. It is nice to hear the words of support from Castmates. I pray that Susan will have the love and support of family and friends in the weeks and months ahead.🙏🏻
I starting watching "Days" when I was in diapers. The last thing I did with my mother (after a long estrangement), on her death bed, we watch "Days" one last time together, I got Peacock JUST to watch the "Days" Christmas episodes, this loss hurts. My heart breaks for Susan (Julie) Seaforth-Hayes. RIP to a great actor, singer and a part of so many people's lives. Thank you Sir. Godspeed.
Bill Hayes I watched you on Days of our lives for a very long time you were a very good singer and I'm going to miss you a lot and God bless your family hope they get through all this miss you very much
he was legend and a star. he joins that small list of actors and actresses that were known and the first of many people when you mentioned a soap. my love and prayers go out to his beautiful wife and co-star on the show and in life, the rest of his family, friends, co-stars, fans of his and fans of dool's. R I P Bill Hayes(Doug)
I have watched days most of my life. Doug was one of my favorite characters. He was gentle and loving as Doug and in real life. He will be truly missed. My thoughts and prayers to his wonderful wife Susan and the rest of his family. Rest in Peace Bill Hayes.
Bill was a great actor.. he will be so missed.. watched the show like for- ever. Watched it with my Gran.. ever since I was young. - still do . Love the show... ❤ Sorry sorry for his loss . LOVE AND HUGS. MY prayers go out..
Thankyou Mr. Bill Hayes for being there for Me when I was a kid growing up watching you and Ms. Susan Seaforth Hayes as Doug and Julie on DAYS OF OUR LIVES, I can hear you singing now in my head The song ALWAYS 🎵 Rest In Heaven Now, I Love You and will Always remember You and especially when I play your music 🎶 🎵 ❤
Looking back,& watching this,how many people can say that ,or have said about them,that they passed away doing what they loved doing,in front of & with the people that meant the most to them,just like Dale Earnhardt,granted forty-nine is a huge span from ninety-eight,but they both passed doing what they loved to do. Condolences to Susan Seaforth-Hayes & the entire Days families.
I just found out that Bill "Doug Williams" Hayes passed on. My Condolences to Susan "Julie Williams" Seaforth-Hayes and the rest of his family, including the cast of Days. When I heard the news one of the things that crossed my mind was that he's on stage again with Robert "Robert LeClaire" Clary singing their hearts again, and in the Audience is Tom & Alice Horton. At the end of the set, Mrs. H invites them over for her Famous Donuts!
I am SO HEARTBROKEN💔💔💔💝💔! I have been watching Days for years! Doug (Bill) will TRULY BE MISSED! My deepest condolences and prayers are to Susan (Julie Williams), his children, family, friends , fans, and Days family! I was telling my children I loved the Christmas scene when Doug and Julie were reminiscing about the family. They both were crying, and so was I. He was such an ICON! My husband passed away, and I TRULY know how Susan is feeling! I love my Days family, and I love you, Susan (Julie). Thank you, Belinda, for the heartfelt words from current Days family and former Days family! So touching! Bill Hayes (Doug), you will be missed, but NEVER FORGOTTEN!
Bill and Susan both need to be in the wax museum they're both two beautiful beautiful beautiful excellent couple I will always love them they both are two outstanding excellent actors ,especially when he sang the look of love he sang that song to the right woman,Susan ❤ we love you all the viewers!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been watching Days since i was in junior high...my son worked his college classes around days....One of my favorite couples were Doug & Julie...i remember Doug with Addie who was Hope's mom....He was a wonderful man....my condolences to Susan and his family....May he RIP....
I don’t know why NBC decided to take that as a real live off the regular network will put it on Peacock now I can’t even watch it because I can’t afford to buy Peacock. I relied on over the air channels to watch days of our lives. I wish they would move it back to its proper place.
Bill Hayes shines with goodness, his eyes just twinkled. Just seemed like the nicest person. My prayers to Susan.
Prayers to his Wife, Susan 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I watch Bill for many years on TV. Long enough to compare his passing to passing of a family member. Rest well Mr Hayes😢
SUCH A GREAT PERSON. WE WILL MISS YOU SO MUCH😢

Susan. A.K.A. Julie Williams.❤️❤️
Such a WHOLESOME BEAUTIFUL HOLLYWOOD COUPLE!!!!!
He lived long enough to perform with Dick Van Dyke.
I also hope Charles Dolan, Arnaldo Pomodoro, and Joe Negri all make it to 98 as well. Even if they all do not make it to 100, they will still live long enough to make it to a ripe old age.
Yes, that was wonderful!
And dick van Dyke lived long enough to perform with bill
Ever Since I heard about His Passing all I Hear is Doug Singing
"Danny Boy"!
I Cried 😢 every time he would sing that song!
Thank you for the Flashback! I remember singing the Davy Crockett song with my Brother & Dad probably over 55 years ago!

I don’t know why NBC decided to take that as a real live off the regular network will put it on Peacock now I can’t even watch it because I can’t afford to buy Peacock. I relied on over the air channels to watch days of our lives. I wish they would move it back to its proper place.
I hate it that it went to Peacock
Me too but thank God we got peacock now
😢💔💔😢🕊🕊😇😇🙏🙏 4:35
May the soul of Bill Hayes...be rest in Peace and in Heaven.😇🌹🕊💐😢♥️ Amen.🙏 7:37
Too bad they took it off NBC after all those years. Then I couldn't watch it any more.
Besides Alice n Tom Julie n Doug is another couple on Days
Can we get Dr Rolf to ressurect him?
Kristin Alfonso as Hope Brady your spelling name wrong!!
You're spelling Kristian Alfonso wrong.
