Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers reveal that the show’s about to reach an incredible milestone, so People posted a sneak peek video of what’s coming up during the week of December 2-6. DOOL will air its 15,000th episode by celebrating the life of Doug Williams (Bill Hayes) as many familiar faces gather to say goodbye.
Doug’s funeral will kick off on Monday, December 2, which is also when Days will hit that 15,000-episode mark.
There’ll be flashbacks along with some huge returns as Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes) and all Doug’s other loved ones bid him farewell.
However, the promo also mentions that this celebration of life lasts all week long, so there’ll be special moments happening beyond Monday’s show.
Days spoilers say there’ll be a lot to look forward to, so DOOL’s going to balance the sadness of Doug’s demise with some other light-hearted scenes.
Belle Black (Martha Madison) will make her way back to Salem for Doug’s memorial – and the same goes for Shawn Brady (Brandon Beemer), Ciara Brady Weston (Victoria Konefal) and Lucas Horton (Bryan Dattilo).
Ciara will even manage to get that Horton time capsule open while she’s in town, so there’ll be a big reveal involving what’s inside.
Shawn, Lucas and Jennifer Horton Deveraux (Melissa Reeves) will all be eager to unravel that mystery with Ciara’s help.
Other Days spoilers say Stephen Schnetzer will reprise the role of Steve Olson, so Julie will be delighted to see her brother.
Steve will be around to support Julie once he gets updates on the news of Doug’s passing.
Maree Cheatham will also make a comeback as Marie Horton, so look for her to do some clashing with a former foe.
Once Gloria Loring returns as Liz Chandler, there’ll be some friction with Marie as old wounds resurface.
There’ll be plenty of tears at Doug’s service as Julie talks about losing the love of her life, but she’ll admit she feels love all around her from everyone in attendance.
Tons of friends and family members will rally around Julie during this difficult time.
The weekly preview video also shows Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) comforting JJ Deveraux (Casey Moss) over his loss – and an emotional Hope Brady (Kristian Alfonso) can be seen putting flowers on Doug’s grave once she finally makes it back to Salem.
Days of Our Lives spoilers say Doug will get a memorable sendoff that lasts multiple episodes, so we’ll bring you more predictions on what’s in store.
