They were the first "super couple" of daytime drama. Millions watched as actors Susan Seaforth and Bill Hayes, playing Julie and Doug on Days of Our Lives, fell in love on camera and off-igniting the hottest love story on daytime television in the 1970s and early '80s. Now, this witty, entertaining autobiography tells their fascinating story-from television's Golden Age to hit Broadway shows and soap opera stardom. Like Sands through the Hourglass FROM OUR EDITORS The title derives, of course, from the introductory theme of the ever-resilient soap opera Days of Our Lives: "Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives." As this afternoon series celebrates its 40th anniversary, few episodes in its history will be remembered as joyously as the 1976 wedding of Julie and Doug, the characters played by real-life spouses Susan Seaforth and Bill Hayes. Their make-believe nuptials became such a major media event that Time devoted a cover story to this perfect pretend couple. This double biography recounts the love story behind the Hayes's televised romance and shares backstage anecdotes about all the days of their lives.
