Doug (Bill Hayes) and Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes) are legendary on the hit NBC soap opera. The fact that Susan and Bill have been a real-life couple as long as Julie and Doug have has only made fans adore the characters more.

Now the supercouple will have an obstacle neither one of them is prepared to face. It will also hit home with many Days fans.
