More than 20 veteran actors returned to attend Doug’s funeral. 1 Huge funeral. – Days of our lives

Days of Our Lives is preparing to bid farewell to one of its most beloved residents, Doug Williams. The

upcoming episodes not only commemorate Doug’s layered life but also mark the significant reunion of

some of Salem’s most memorable characters.

Doug Williams, portrayed by the venerable Bill Hayes, leaves behind a legacy rich in love, drama, and resilience. His departure gathers a constellation of Salem stars, some returning from years past to pay their respects, leading to a profound climax of shared memories and new connections.

Amid the mourners are Marie Cheatham, who plays Marie Horton, the sole surviving member of the original cast, whose presence underscores the show’s deep historical roots. Gloria Loring reprises her role as Liz Chandler, bringing her own layered history to the town.

Martha Madison and Brandon Beemer return as Belle Brady Black and Shawn Brady, highlighting the long-standing legacy of the Brady family in Salem’s lore. Stephen Schnetzer returns as Steve Olson, alongside Sal Stowers and Lamon Archey as Lani and Eli Grant, whose recent storylines have captivated fans.

The younger generation is represented by Victoria Konefal and Bryan Dattilo as Ciara Brady and Lucas Horton, bridging the gap between the tumultuous past of the founding families and their current dynamics.

Present-day favorites Melissa Reeves and Matthew Ashford reappear as Jennifer Deveraux and Jack Deveraux, recounting their complex personal history in a moment of collective mourning. Their presence, along with other regular cast members, weaves a rich tapestry of storytelling to honor the depth of relationships formed over decades.

Regular cast members attending the memorial include Josh Taylor (Roman Brady), Suzanne Rogers (Maggie Horton Kiriakis), Deidre Hall (Dr. Marlena Evans), Stephen Nichols (Steve Johnson), Mary Beth Evans (Dr. Kayla Brady), James Reynolds (Abe Carver), and Jackée Harry (Mayor Paulina Price).

Perhaps the most heart-rending of the attendees is Susan Seaforth Hayes as Julie Williams, Doug’s widow. Her portrayal of grief and enduring love for Doug encapsulates the show’s ability to explore life’s complexities and losses. Julie’s presence at the funeral is not only a farewell to her onscreen husband but also a poignant reminder of the off-screen relationship she shared with Bill Hayes, adding emotional depth to the ceremony.

This memorial episode promises to be a pivotal event, ensuring that Doug Williams’s legacy continues to resonate in the lives of all who knew him.
