Days of our Lives fans are preparing for a heartbreaking farewell to Bill Hayes's character Doug Williams on the popular NBC Peacock soap opera. As confirmed by Doug's onscreen wife, Susan Seaforth Hayes, who plays Julie Olson Williams, the couple shot scenes together weeks before Bill Hayes passed away on January 12, 2024, at the age of 98. These final episodes are expected to air around June 20th, 2024. 

The show paid a touching tribute to Bill Hayes in an episode aired on February 21st, 2024. Hayes's exit will be handled with sensitivity, with producers assuring Susan that she will continue working on the soap. In a poignant revelation, Susan shared that she was allowed to rewrite Bill's last scenes on DOOL. 

Stephen Schnetzer will reprise his role as Stephen Olson, Julie's brother, for the funeral episode, expected to air in December 2024. This marks a significant return for Schnetzer, who hasn't appeared on the show since 1979. As Days of our Lives bids adieu to Bill Hayes and lays Doug Williams to rest, viewers will need their tissues at the ready for these emotional episodes.
