Am gonna echo that sentiment. Wasn't watching back then, but loved Bill Hayes, still do. He is one classy guy. I have enjoyed every single second he has been on the screen.

Which means, Bill was on Days a year longer than we have been in this house!! I honestly don't remember his first scenes, but didn't he help Denise Alexander's character, Susan, at first?

Love him but the writers sure have ruined his wife Susan Seaforth Hayes (Julie).
