Days Of Our Lives Spoilers: Bill Hayes Loves Playing Devil Doug

Days of Our Lives spoilers reveal Doug Williams continuing to waste away in Bayview as The Devil in Marlena makes everyone believe that Doug is crazy — and actor Bill Hayes couldn’t be happier about getting the opportunity to do this story.

Days Of Our Lives Spoilers – Devil Doug Was Inspired

DOOL fans were shocked when they learned that Marlena would be possessed again and Satan would enter her via Doug Williams. While Doug wasn’t in Salem the last time Marlena had her bout with satanic possession, it’s been great to see him so involved this time as Doug and Julie barely get any story time and haven’t had much to do since Julie had her heart attack more than two years ago.

Even Hayes was surprised when he was asked if he wanted to do such a big story, but there was no way he could ever say no, according to a recent interview with Soap Hub.

“Our producer, Albert Alarr, called me and told me they would like to do the storyline and would I be amenable to and happy to be a part of it. I said, ‘Absolutely. I immediately said yes,'” Hayes told Soap Hub. “I thought it would be an interesting and challenging story. I love the fact that they started it by making it appear that Doug had lost his marbles…or, at least, going into some kind of dementia. The poor guy. Nobody will listen to him now.”

DOOL Spoilers – The Time Of Billy Hayes’ Life

Needless to say, Hayes has been having tons of fun with this story, especially its beginnings when he did so many things that were so out of character for the role Hayes has been playing for nearly a half-century.

“I would say the scenes where Doug is possessed and says those things [to Marlena] about locking Julie in the freezer and that was the most fun he’d had all week,” Hayes said about the good time he’s had on the set. “I also loved the scenes when the demon had taken over, and Doug wasn’t really himself…when he didn’t know Tom and Alice from Adam. They were so close all those years, and there were so many memories. For him to say that, was a killer for me.”

Both Bill and his wife, Susan Hayes (Julie), keep fans intrigued on their Twitter account as well. “Preparing in our dressing room for another wild week of #Days,” they said on October 10, next to a photo of themselves. It looks like there’s a lot more Days of Our Lives Devil Doug fun to come.
