Members dragonflies Posted January 15 Members Share Posted January 15 they are the first super couple, they even were so popular they were the FIRST (and I think ONLY) soap couple to make the cover of TIME MAGAZINE 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 15 Members Share Posted January 15 Like I said before, if you've got fans dressing up for your pretend wedding, like Jeff & Penny's fans did for them, then yours is a supercouple, lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted January 15 Members Share Posted January 15 (edited) Yes, you're correct, FIRST but also ONLY! And, that mag was the issue of Jan. 12, 1976. And, our Bill died on Jan. 12. And in that mag are 3 articles pertaining to soaps! One, about Doug & Julie on DAYS & love & suffering in the afternoon. Another, about each soap on the air, just maybe 2 sentences per show. And, the biggest article about daytime serials in general, and pretty good soap scholarship. I re-read it all over the weekend. Except for coverage in TV Guide this was the first recognition of daytime in mainstream media. It's all up on the web. Here's the link to one page https://content.time.com/time/subscriber/article/0,33009,913850-6,00.html Edited January 15 by Donna L.

Members Contessa Donatella Posted January 17 Members Share Posted January 17 Yeah, I believe there was some discussion on Jason's FB page that Bill had done more taping in December. So that fits. Personally I wish there were a way DAYS could get out of this 6-month tape trap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted January 17 Members Share Posted January 17 Love seeing so many past talents speak out on the passing of Bill Hayes. That's how it should be (if one chooses to speak out). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members janea4old Posted January 22 Members Share Posted January 22 deidrehall_official 2h When I say Bill & Susan Hayes, I think of the phrase with no separation between the words. If written, it would appear as Billandsusanhayes. I had the opportunity to see them up close and unguarded due to our professional and personal relationship. During any significant moment or event, it was each other’s eyes they sought out to share the experience. It could not be fully enjoyed until it was shared. Their deep and abiding faith made them pillars in their church community. Bill and Susan’s belief included action, not just providing emotional and substantive support. After 50 years of lending his voice to the Chancel Choir, he was honored by the church with the retirement of his choir robe and a permanent plaque that reads: “The Bill Hayes Chancel Choir Loft.” Whether sharing tales of their large family, their extensive travels, or plays made by their oft-disappointing Dodgers, they built on each other’s stories until a rich and entertaining visual was achieved. Many will speak of Bill’s unparalleled voice, not just the quality but the emotion contained within. When being greeted by Bill, you could hear the smile contained in your name. “Billy, Dee’s here.” “Deeeiiidddrrreeee!!” I’m not describing it well, but anyone who knows him will be grinning at the memory. Regardless of where our last conversation ended, Bill would pick up the next with: “Say, how did your monologue work?” “Did you try that curry restaurant?” And, always: “How’s your SISTER?!?” Many years ago, clearly having no idea personally, I asked Bill, “What makes a marriage work?” He gave it much thought before saying, “In all the years I have known Susan, she has never given me an insincere kiss.” It was not a casual response. I understood it to mean the constancy of sincere devotion. Upon reflection, it is the glue that held them together. It is the deep and demonstrable love and affection for each other and the life they had created. Yes, they taught us how to love, and it was truly a Master Class. Bill Hayes was the most loving and generous man I have ever known. Anyone lucky enough to have spent time with this gentle man, would surely agree they were “changed for good.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
