Susan and Bill Hayes Return to "Days of Our Lives"

There has been a lot of hoopla — understandably! — about the September 26 relaunch of NBC's "Days of Our Lives" and the return of supercouple Drake Hogestyn and Deidre Hall.

But, truth be told, we're just as excited that Bill Hayes and Susan Seaforth Hayes — the true First Couple of Salem — are also headed back to the show.

Watch for them September 23 through 28 when their characters, Doug and Julie Williams, appear for the dedication celebration of the new Horton Town Square.






These two beloved legends — married in real life since 1974 — made the cover of Time magazine in 1976 when they, and "Days", were the hottest things going.

(Mr. Hayes was hot even before that as a singer — in 1955 he had the No. 1 single in America with 'The Ballad of Davy Crockett'.)

Now, with the demise of "All My Children" Doug and Julie are the longest-running couple in soaps.
