Daytime Emmy Voters Slammed for Snubbing ‘Days of Our Lives' Legend
Daytime Emmy Voters Slammed for Snubbing 'Days of Our Lives' Legend originally appeared on Parade. The Daytime Emmy nominations began to trickle out tonight as various outlets released different categories. When the list for 'Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series' was announced one name was missing and people are upset. Days of Our Lives fans were expecting to see the legendary Susan Seaforth Hayes when the list was presented. The actress had an intense year as her husband Bill Hayes passed away. Something anyone would struggle with. The actress's experience was multiplied by the fact that Bill played her love interest on the Peacock streaming soap opera, so not only did she have to mourn the loss of her husband in real life, but also deal with his loss on the show. As the announcements were being made, Amy Jean Shaughnessy took to social to say, 'I'm gonna have something to say if Susan Seaforth Hayes isn't nominated for a @DaytimeEmmys this year…..' A longtime Days of Our Lives fan and active social media user Steven asked Shaughnessy what category Hayes submitted for, as the actress could've submitted for either Lead or Supporting. The user asked, 'What category did she submit for? I need to know before I burn this place down.' To which Shaughnessy responded, 'We submitted her for Lead Actress, because this year's material was Lead Actress material.' 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox After the nominations were released and Hayes name was nowhere to be seen, Shaugnessy posted a statement reacting to this snub. 'I watched up close and personal a woman witness the decline and death of the love of her life- a man she was married to for almost 50 years. A man she fell in love with on a beloved daytime soap opera 55 years ago. She filmed a death scene with a body double 3 months after lying next to her actual husband in a hospice bed and saying goodbye to him. We talked every morning during the week of filming about how to breathe, take breaks, and channel the real life emotions of grief and loss into her performance so she could reach fellow audience members who had lost loved ones. NO one deserved a nomination this year more than Susan Seaforth Hayes for her absolutely brilliant performance processing and living through Bill Hayes' and Doug Williams' deaths. She did what most actors never have to do; she exposed her soul and shared her real life grief with the entire daytime audience. It was raw, real, and MORE than worthy of an Emmy nomination. Shame on you, Academy members, for not recognizing Susan Seaforth Hayes for her brave and exceptional performance.' Shaugnessy confirmed that the content of Hayes reel included scenes from Doug's death and funeral. Meanwhile her co-star Cherie Jimenez, who plays Gabi Hernandez, came to her defense as well, saying, 'No disrespect to all the incredibly talented women who are nominated, but I find it incredibly hard to believe that our Queen Susan Hayes was not nominated for her incredible performances this past year. With that said Congratulations to all these beautiful women 👏🏽' Hayes had previously been nominated for Supporting actress twice (2018, 2020) and Lead Actress four times, (1975, 1976, 1978, and 1979). The actress received a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2018 along with her late husband Bill Hayes in 2018. In addition to Days of our Lives, Hayes previously played Joanna Manning on The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful as well as D.A. Patricia Steele on Sunset Beach. The Daytime Emmy's will take place on October 17, 2025.

Beloved ‘Days of our Lives' Star Breaks Silence After Emmy Snub
Beloved 'Days of our Lives' Star Breaks Silence After Emmy Snub originally appeared on Parade. Yesterday the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Daytime Drama category was announced for the 2025 Daytime Emmy Awards. It quickly became apparent that one name was not on the list, now the actress has broken her silence after the recent snub. Days of Our Lives star Susan Seaforth Hayes was submitted in the 'Lead Actress' category due to her performance as Julie Williams, for the death and funeral of her husband Doug Williams who was played by her late husband Bill Hayes. The actress took to social media and posted on her Instagram congratulating all the nominees and addressing her absence. The actress wrote, "For everyone who was upset by the Emmy nominations, I am amazed and moved that so many cared that deeply about Susan Hayes and Julie, her other self. The first Daytime Emmys happened live from the gorgeous plaza of Rockefeller Center in NYC. Bill Hayes sang, we presented, and MacDonald Carey won for "best person on daytime" or some vague category that made us all feel splendid. Eventually, the categories became more specific; Lead Actor, Supporting, Younger, and now Emerging Actor (imagine Meryl Streep rising out of a cake!). Between my nominations, I have had the honor of co-hosting the show once with Beverlee McKinsey and in 2018 receiving a Lifetime Achievement Emmy that sits on our piano next to Billy's. I have not been snubbed by all the judges of NATAS over time. From 1968-2025 | fit into all the categories, emerging, to supporting, to lead. Susan Lucci was forever a leading lady, Susan/Julie reflected the more natural evolution of nature. She was fresh- then hot- cooled down- and for now, mellow. I have had the chance to stay a working actress for all those thousands of shows. Studying lines, going through the studio gate, being present with the creative cast and crew for one of the longest running dramas on American television. I feel that's pretty great, and I'll be 82 tomorrow. Here is the nugget l've been digesting about all of this history. Daytime drama is entertainment. The stories promise romance and beautiful people with intriguing complications. For the audience it's an hour of happy escape from reality. Susan and Julie are facing the reality of growing old. Reality is a deep dive. I was lucky to meet the love of my life in full view of a daytime audience. We caught their imaginations for a long, fulfilling time. Then faded into grandparents, then a dear sweet couple, then we were parted... not by a change of writers, but death itself. Only a widow with memories remains. Is she "entertaining?" This is not the usual path of a soap opera leading lady. In that story of loss I was more than an actress, I was a wife. My husband deserved all I could give to show the reality of grief and loss. Perhaps the judges felt I wasn't acting when for the camera, I got the news, kissed the body goodbye, and gave the eulogy. No matter, my truth was based on a love that was real for an audience that loved him, too. My reward in 2024 was that | honored Doug and Julie, members of a family millions have opened their hearts to. I am hugely blessed and promise you all I will keep on keeping on." Hayes had previously been nominated for Supporting actress twice (2018, 2020) and Lead Actress four times, (1975, 1976, 1978, and 1979).

Bo and Hope's Epic Love Story On Days of Our Lives
Days of Our Lives' Bo and Hope have a long and complicated history as a couple. Read on to find out the trials and tribulations the couple have faced. 1983: After spending months exchanging flirtatious glances and banter with Bo (Peter Reckell), Hope (Kristian Alfonso) finally invited him to accompany her to her 18th birthday celebration, and he agreed. The evening turned romantic as they shared a slow dance to 'Tonight I Celebrate My Love for You.' However, things took a turn when Hope brushed off Bo's heartfelt present—a vintage poetry book. Offended, Bo left in frustration. Ignoring Doug (the late Bill Hayes) and Julie's (Susan Seaforth Hayes) objections, Hope went to Bo's apartment to smooth things over. The two reconciled with a kiss, and Bo confessed that he was in love with her. They came close to taking their relationship to the next level—until Hope's father walked in and brought the night to an abrupt end. 1984: In an effort to keep Hope safe while secretly working on the Salem Slasher investigation, Bo pretended to be romantically involved with his friend Diane (DeAnna Robbins). Feeling hurt and rejected, Hope turned to the shady Larry (Andrew Masset), eventually accepting his proposal. On the day of their wedding, Bo, unwilling to lose her, rushed to the ceremony and whisked Hope away, despite her initial resistance. The two rode off on his motorcycle, where Bo revealed the truth behind his actions. Once she understood, Hope let down her guard and embraced him. Bo and Hope's search for a missing prism led them to New Orleans, where their mission quickly turned into a romantic adventure. While staying at the historic Oak Alley plantation, the two found themselves alone and swept up in the charm of the setting. Dressed in vintage attire, they shared a magical evening dancing together. As the night deepened, Bo gently carried Hope upstairs, and it was there that they made love for the very first time. 1985 Bo and Hope were given a fairy tale wedding in England as a thank-you from British royalty after they helped capture the dangerous Dragon, who had been plotting to assassinate Lady Joanna (Susan Seaforth Hayes). Their loved ones traveled overseas to witness the joyous occasion, which nearly ended in tragedy when Emma (Jane Windsor) attempted to murder the couple after the ceremony. Thankfully, Shane intervened just in time, and the newlyweds were able to head off on their honeymoon as planned. 1987 After the heartbreak of a miscarriage, Bo and Hope were thrilled to welcome their son, Shawn Douglas. Bo stood faithfully by Hope's side during the delivery, guiding her through it—though he fainted almost immediately afterward from the emotional weight of it all. Soon after, Bo decided it was time to follow a dream he'd held for years. He bought a houseboat, and after saying goodbye to family and friends, he, Hope, and baby Shawn left Salem behind to sail around the world together. 1990 Three years after leaving Salem, Bo and Hope returned—only to find themselves caught up in another dangerous adventure at sea. They were among several people lured onto a ship called the Loretta by the villainous Ernesto (Eric Mason), who had a score to settle. The journey, later known as the Cruise of Deception, took a deadly turn when Hope, while searching for Bo in Ernesto's hideout, accidentally ended up in a trap. She became stuck in a cage hanging above a vat of acid. When the cage suddenly exploded, Bo was devastated, believing Hope had died, and was left to mourn the loss of his wife. 1994 Bo was stunned when he came face-to-face with a woman named 'Gina' at Maison Blanche—an amnesiac who looked exactly like his late wife, Hope. Having recently proposed to Billie (Lisa Rinna) and convinced that Stefano was behind some cruel trick, Bo refused to accept that Hope could still be alive. Eventually, medical tests confirmed that Gina was, in fact, Hope. Despite the truth, Bo followed through with his marriage to Billie. But it didn't take long for Billie to realize that Bo's heart still belonged to Hope, and she decided to leave town. Bo did everything he could to help her remember who she truly was, but Stefano's control remained strong. While under his influence, Hope ended up sleeping with both Stefano and a drugged John (the late Drake Hogestyn). By the time Bo was finally able to save her, Hope had become pregnant. READ THIS: Here's what's coming up on DAYS. 2000-2002 After overcoming numerous challenges—including the complicated truth that John was the biological father of their baby son, J.T.— Bo and Hope found their way back to each other. Their reunion was sealed with a heartfelt wedding on Christmas Eve, where they declared their love in front of family and friends, promising that nothing would ever come between them again. J.T.'s diagnosis of fetal alcohol syndrome eventually uncovered a startling secret: he was not biologically the child of either Hope or John. It was revealed that Stefano had orchestrated a baby swap—Abe (James Reynolds) and Lexie (Renee Jones) were actually raising Hope's biological daughter, while Bo and Hope had been caring for the child of the late Marlo (Marcy Kaplan) and Glen Reiber (Paul Logan). Despite fighting hard in court, Bo and Hope ultimately lost custody of J.T. and had to give him up to his biological father. With heavy hearts, Bo, Hope, and Shawn said a painful farewell to the little boy they had cared for since he was born. Thankfully, Glen and his wife Barb (Tamara Clatterbuck) assured them that the Brady family would always remain a part of J.T.'s life. After Abe gave up custody of Isaac to Bo and Hope, the couple renamed the boy Zack and began their new life together. However, Hope started experiencing sudden memories that made her suspect Bo might actually be Zack's biological father. DNA testing confirmed her suspicions. It turned out that while both were under Stefano's control, Bo and Hope had conceived a son—an event neither of them remembered at the time. 2004 Bo and Hope reconnect on the mysterious island of Melaswen, where they were reunited. Afterwards, the couple navigated high tensions, including Bo's jealousy of Patrick (Brody Hutzler) and a case of mistaken identity. Ultimately, Patrick's manipulative actions led to Bo and Hope's separation and Hope's belief that Patrick was the father of her baby. READ THIS: Kristian Alfonso's final DAYS moments with Drake Hogestyn. 2006: Bo's daughter Chelsea (Rachel Melvin) tragically causes Zack's death in a car accident.

Hope files for divorce in 2014 after hearing nothing from him. 2015: Bo reappears just in time to rescue Hope from Aiden Jennings (Daniel Cosgrove), who tries to kill her at their wedding. Soon after, Bo is diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. On November 20, 2015, he dies in Hope's arms in their meeting park, as snow begins to fall. 2016: Bo appears as a vision or in Hope's dreams, guiding her after life-altering events. 2022 (on Beyond Salem) In a beautifully staged sequence, Hope appears to die momentarily and meets Bo in heaven. They dance, share intimate reflections on their life together, and decide she should return to Earth with a 'second-chance' pass. In the finale, it's revealed that Megan Hathaway (Miranda Wilson) kept Bo cryogenically frozen and used magical prisms to cure his brain tumor and resurrect him. The series ends with Bo's dramatic awakening—eyes opening in a laboratory setting. 2023 During a tense and dramatic confrontation, Bo threatened Hope with a gun. In an attempt to protect his mother, their son Shawn (Brandon Beemer) accidentally shot Bo. As a result, Bo fell into a coma, and Hope took on the difficult role of caring for him at a specialized clinic. 2025 The couple are back with Bo still lingering in a coma. As Bo, comatose begins deteriorating due to sepsis, Dr. Russell (Michael Dietz) is experimenting with a new drug not yet approved for humans. Shawn and Steve (Stephen Nichols) attempt to procure the drug—potentially stealing it—to save him. John procured it after the lab exploded, but that left him critically injured and he died. Bo received the antidote and awakens from his coma. What do you think will happen next with Bo and Hope? Sound off in the comments.
