Get ready for an emotional week on “Days of our Lives” when Salem learns that one of their own has passed on, and with it, viewers will see the cast of the daytime drama series celebrate the life of the late Bill Hayes and his iconic character, Doug Williams.
Everything kicks off on Thursday, November 28 when Jack (Matthew Ashford) and Jennifer (Melissa Reeves) return to town to join the family for Thanksgiving festivities. Sadly, their return is filled with sadness when Jennifer is forced to break the news to Hope (Kristian Alfonso) that her father has died. In a phone call, she informs Hope that he was unresponsive when Jack tried to wake him up.
