Days of Our Lives season 60 promo hints at the addition of another new character to the soap's storyline. The show revealed a sneak peek of the upcoming season featuring actor Peyton Meyer facing off against actor Susan Seaforth Hayes. Meyer may have been cast as a family member of the late Doug Williams.
As fans already know, Days of Our Lives is one of the longest-running American daily soaps, having premiered in November 1965. The soap moved from its parent platform, NBC, to its streaming partner, Peacock, in 2022. Set in the fictional city of Salem, the show's plot revolves around a few powerful residential families, such as the Kiriakis, the Bradys, the DiMeras, and the Hortons.
The show's 2024 Thanksgiving was clouded by the death of Doug Williams, one of the oldest characters in the storyline. While many characters returned for Thanksgiving and Doug's funeral, the soap appears set to introduce new characters for its upcoming season.

As mentioned earlier, Days of Our Lives released a promo teaser for their upcoming 60th season. The teaser follows the story arc after the funeral of Bill Hayes's Doug Williams, who was shown to have passed away in his sleep on Thursday's episode dated November 28, 2024.
As the promo suggests, Julie Williams will visit Doug's gravestone to say goodbye and spend some time with her deceased spouse. However, she appears shocked in the teaser as she asks who the young man standing in front of her is. The camera then pans to the other character, played by Meyer, who looks on at Julie.
While the reason for Julie's stunned reaction remains unclear, it suggests that Meyer's character has some connection with Doug and Julie.

Longtime Days of Our Lives fans may remember Doug had a biological son after donating sperm for a surrogate program in the 1970s. Little was heard about his baby, Douglas LeClaire "Dougie," after that. Meyer's character may be connected to Dougie and could possibly be Doug's grandchild.
If Meyer's character turns out to be a long-estranged family member, Hope will likely become suspicious about the sudden arrival, adding to the soap's drama. Spoilers also suggest that Jennifer Horton will discover a new entrant in town and find Julie and Lucas sharing family stories with him.
Stay tuned to Peacock every weekday to learn more about Peyton Meyer's character on Days of Our Lives as the new face pulls Julie out of the gloom of losing a loving spouse.
