1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation.

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 2: Have you ever been a fan of Days of Our Lives? No,

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 2: you didn't got sucked in by any of the soaps.

4
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 3: I used to work spray painting pumps that provide water

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 3: to buildings and stuff like that. And the factory that

6
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 3: we used to work in, they were re running Dallas

7
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 3: on the telly during the day. During the day, so Dallas.

8
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 3: It used to be a nighttime show, but a rerunning

9
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 3: the show, and the boss used to just love it.

10
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 3: So we just sit there and watch it. Watched Dallas.

11
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:32,520
Speaker 2: It's so great.

12
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 3: I think we did one pump a day has to

13
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,160
Speaker 3: do a lot more than that. Yeah, I didn't really

14
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 3: care for it, but I remember thinking I was a

15
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 3: bit ripped off when I found out that JR. What

16
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 3: was his name, Bobby Bobby came back. Yeah it was

17
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 3: all a dream.

18
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was all a dream because he realized he

19
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 2: couldn't get a movie career after all. I thought, well,

20
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 2: that's I used to go home from school to watch

21
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: Days to watch Search for Tomorrow at Morgan Fairchild in it.

22
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 2: That was my big one, and I've been heavily invested

23
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 2: in Bold in the Beautiful occasionally over the years I've

24
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 2: dipped in and out. I haven't watched it. Now it's

25
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 2: getting intergenerational. I'm not so interesting now.

26
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 3: I was watching Bold the other day and I thought

27
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 3: it looks.

28
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 4: I don't know.

29
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 3: They are about the porn in it, you know what

30
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 3: I mean, the porn acting without the porn. That's nice,

31
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 3: that's nice, that's nice to watch it.

32
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: Well.

33
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 2: The actor Bill Hayes, who played Doug on Days of

34
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,839
Speaker 2: Our Lives, died in January at the age of ninety eight,

35
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 2: and his scenes, the final scenes he's he filmed for

36
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 2: Days of Our Lives, have just played out in the

37
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 2: now in the States. I don't know where Australia is

38
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 2: up to. He and Julie. Doug and Julie were the

39
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 2: big love story since the seventies on Days of Our

40
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 2: Lives and the actors Bill and Susan were a real

41
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 2: life couple. So apparently Hayes was only supposed to share

42
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 2: a single scene with Susan c Fourth and William Bell,

43
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: the head writer on the show, saw something between them

44
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 2: and so they became a couple in real life and

45
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 2: have been in that show on and off since the nineteen.

46
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 3: Do they have kids and everything in real life?

47
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: I think so.

48
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 2: I'm not sure about that. But on the show, Yes Children, Grandchildren.

49
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,559
Speaker 2: Here's a snippet of all the stuff that Bill Hayes

50
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 2: as Doug Williams, all the times he's professed his love

51
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 2: for Julie.

52
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: I'd like you to meet Douglas Williams. Doug, this is

53
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 1: Julie Vanni. How you doing, al Hi?

54
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,839
Speaker 2: Look, let me put it this way.

55
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 4: The temperature in this room just went up twenty degrees.

56
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: Julie is my life, and Julie is going to be

57
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: my wife right now.

58
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 4: Now you may kiss you, rag Unlike my first dance

59
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 4: with my girls, sweetheart, and I fell head over heels

60
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 4: in love with you.

61
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: And so if it hadn't been for that faithful, wonderful

62
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: day fifty years ago, I never would have had this whole,

63
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: wonderful life with you. May I have?

64
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 2: This dance goes on and on, It goes on and on,

65
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 2: and luckily they've got writers to do it for them.

66
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 2: They probably go home and go you shut up, No,

67
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 2: you shut up, like most people do. So but when

68
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: they got married on the show, kids took time off,

69
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 2: school teachers didn't turn up. Everyone stayed home to watch

70
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 2: Days of Our lives. They manage to the cover of

71
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 2: Time magazine that did a story on them in nineteen

72
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 2: seventy six. This stuff is big, and I remember the

73
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 2: people who lived next door to my grandparents. The man

74
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 2: was coming up to a time at age and he said, look,

75
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 2: I just can't do it, not what Days of Our

76
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 2: Lives is on because his wife was so obsessed with

77
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 2: the show. He said, I can't retire while she's still

78
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: watching that, So presumably he's still work at the age

79
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 2: of two hundred and fifty eight. People get obsessed with

80
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 2: this stuff.
