Days of our lives spoilers: NEW UPDATE! Susan Seaforth Hayes just shared shocking news with her fans
Days of Our Lives star Susan Seaforth Hayes has demonstrated remarkable strength since the passing of her husband, Bill Hayes. He played Doug Williams, Julie’s husband, and the two were lovingly married in real life.
Sadly, Bill passed away in January 2024 at age 98. The show has paid respects not only to him, but also to Doug in touching scenes. Now, Susan shared a visit she had to Bill’s resting place, paying her respects.
A Perfect Time
On Instagram, Hayes shared some pictures that included her at Bill’s grave, on a boat with a lovely sunset in the background, and with a young friend.
She lovingly wrote, “I advise anyone over 40 to cultivate young friends. Their support and companionship is quite different from your old friends and keeps you in the thick of life.
I am blessed with six grandsons – each one endowed with the genes of Bill Hayes, each one married to a top-tier lady.”
She continued with, “As fathers, husbands, creators, [and] citizens, they shine with love and purpose. Got to mingle with a crowd of them in Michigan this weekend.
Visited my husband’s last resting place, where I will join him one day. Shared laughs and kisses, cherry pie, and a sunset cruise on Lake Michigan where I, of all people, spied the famous wreck of The Metropolis. A private time, a poignant time, a perfect time.”
A Treasure Shared With Fans
Co-stars Cherie Jimenez (Gabi) and Kristian Alfonso (Hope) shared some heart emojis, as well as Martha Madison (Belle), who added, “Beautiful.”
Mary Beth Evans (Kayla) shared the simple, yet meaningful, “Love you.” The fans were moved by her words and photos, with one writing, “Susan. What a beautiful post. Thank you❤️ Your family is truly fortunate to have you. Beautiful tribute to your beloved Bill❤️.”
Illustrating how devoted soap fans can be, one follower wrote, “Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful treasure. I was such a fan of your beloved husband.
I was a toddler one days of our lives, began…I love watching the old scenes when you first appeared as Julie and I loved watching you and Doug grow as a couple. Much love to you, Mrs. Hayes.” And another chimed in with, “I just adore you both so much.”
