With effortless charm, Susan Seaforth Hayes turned a behind-the-scenes moment into a fan-fueled celebration.
Days of our Lives’ Julie has been busy lately between trying to figure out the next chapter in her life and holding a great deal of scorn for Cat. In real life, Susan Seaforth Hayes has continued interacting with her devoted fans, sharing life tidbits with them on social media. Her latest update had nothing to do with a dramatic storyline, but instead with a playful gift the cast and crew received — new DOOL hats that quickly became a hit with viewers.
A Playful Post
Hayes took to Instagram to share the moment, writing, “Life may not have given me an Emmy nomination, but someone in power at Salem (could be Corday, could be Peacock, could be Sony, could be wardrobe)…gave the cast these darling hats! Julie Williams loves her new uniform! #DaysOfOurLives #JulieWilliams #Salem.”
The response from fans was immediate and overflowing with love. One follower commented, “Amazing actress and scenes well done Susan Hayes❤️👏.” Another added, “Oh I would love one of those hats! I have watched DAYS since it started! Well as much as I could in the beginning—I was 15 and it was before VCR’s 😂😂.” Others chimed in simply with “🔥🔥” or “That Hat Certainly has Your Name on it. ❤️,” proving just how quickly Hayes’ post resonated with her longtime supporters.
Fans Showed Their Support
Beyond celebrating the hat itself, fans made it clear that Hayes remained an Emmy winner in their hearts as someone shared, “You definitely are THE Emmy winner to me ❤️ ❤️❤️💫,” while another wrote, “The fans know who the real winner should be! You’re amazing, Susan! ❤️.” A different follower praised her resilience: “You continue to smile, see the joy in everyday things and people, and continue to grace us with your presence on Days and on social media even though we know life is tough… You are a pillar of strength and grace.”
Messages poured in calling her “pretty and classy,” “adorable,” and “an icon,” with several noting that they would love to get their hands on the hats themselves. One summed up the fan sentiment perfectly: “Emmy winner in fan’s hearts and that is the true prize! No one can meet your standards. You are the show. I need the cap!”
