This week, it's all about Julie! Julie Olson Williams is a legendary character for so many reasons, but primarily because she is the only character from the original 1965 Days of our Lives pilot who is still on the show - I mean, if you recall from my recap, The First Ever Episode of Days of our Lives, the entire series opens with Julie's shoplifting drama! She is the foundation of this epic saga.
Adding to Julie's icon status is the actress who has brought her to life for almost the entire time the show has been running, Susan Seaforth Hayes, who took over the role of Julie in 1968 and never looked back.
You can't talk about Julie without Doug, just like you can't talk about Susan without Bill. Join me for a journey from Julie's troubled beginnings through her fight for her great love.
