Six Days of our Lives favorites who've been dishing up drama for decades recently took a trip to the Grand Canyon for a fan event like no other.
Days of our Lives stars shine in the Grand Canyon
Not only did these Salem superstars meet with a small group of devoted DAYS fans, but they also got to do it with a national historic landmark as the backdrop.
Both Susan Seaforth Hayes (Julie Williams) and Thaao Penghlis (Tony DiMera) shared snaps of the trip on Instagram, including a stunning photo of all six in front of the canyon. Stars in attendance included Hayes, Penghlis, Matthew Ashford (Jack Deveraux), Melissa Reeves (Jennifer Deveraux), Judi Evans (Bonnie Kiriakis), and Leann Hunley (Anna DiMera). The "Legends in the Canyon" event was presented by Starstruck Entertainment from August 23 to 25.
Memories for Susan Hayes
Hayes revealed that she had been to the Grand Canyon twice before with her late husband, Bill (Doug Williams), who passed away in January of this year.
"When you visit Grand Canyon, be sure to travel with people you love. The pleasure is so overwhelming, you’ll want to share it," Hayes wrote. "Starstruck Events (thank you Paul and Keith!) put together 20 devoted #DOOL fans and 5 of my favorite actors; Judi, Missy, Matt, Leann, and Thaao — for a train trip that was… perfect.
"Twice upon a time, I was there with my darling Bill Hayes — a precious memory," Hayes continued. "But time goes by…and this adventure put new sparkle on my spirit. Thank you dear fans and friends for showing us Salem veterans we are still so loved!"
Penghlis also shared photos from the trip. Alongside one snap he wrote, "What a joyous time we had together & our Days fans. Susan gave us a heartfelt tribute to her magical partner Doug Hayes. We vets resonate well. Thanks to our players Susan, Leann. Missy, Matt & Thaao. Almost 40 yrs of a blessed life together."
DAYS returns on their way
While Penghlis' Tony and Hunley's Anna haven't been seen on-screen since 2023, fans can expect to see Reeves and Ashford back in Salem this coming December, when the cast and characters say goodbye to Bill Hayes and his beloved character, Doug.
