DAYS’s Bill Hayes (Doug) and Susan Seaforth Hayes (Julie) respond to your burning questions

You Asked, They Answered!

Q. I have heard it is hard to work with your spouse. Have you ever encountered problems working together? I’m sorry for asking a personal question, but I was curious.

Melissa B.

A. Susan Seaforth Hayes: Thank you for this personal question. I’ve never encountered difficulties working with my husband. I don’t encounter difficulties going to bed with him, making dinner for him, doing his laundry, cleaning the house or traveling.

Bill Hayes: That’s a good question. Susan and I met working on DAYS OF OUR LIVES. I started early in the year, and then in April, [then-Head Writer] Bill Bell put us in a scene together. It was one episode. Susan and I met in the studio, on the set. Bill Bell liked what he saw. He took us out of the storylines we were in and created a new storyline for us. We worked a lot together. I would rather have a scene with Susan than with anybody else. I have never experienced difficulty working with my wife. I know that happens to a lot of people, but not me.

Q. Susan, now that Valerie Grant is back, would you like to see Julie’s son, David, or David’s son, Scott, return?

A.Y.

A. Seaforth Hayes: Of course, I would like to see all of Julie’s male relatives return [laughs]. I would love to see Scotty again, and to also see who would be cast. I’d love to see Julie’s brother, Steve, return to the show. I’ve often felt that Julie has a closet full of interesting male relatives, so that’s something I would look forward to.

Hayes: Richard Guthrie [ex-David] was in and out for several years. He’s the one we worked with mostly.
