Friends Pay Tribute to ‘Days of Our Lives’ Star Bill Hayes: ‘A Wonderful, Kind and Giving Man’
Bill Hayes, the 'Days of Our Lives' star who died Jan. 12 at age 98, is remembered by friends and colleagues as 'a wonderful, kind and giving man.'
In 2022, Hayes and the rest of the “Days” cast ushered in a new era of television viewing when the long-running soap opera became the first daytime drama to shift exclusively to a streaming platform, NBCUniversal’s Peacock.
