Stephen Schnetzer Talks On His Return to Days of our Lives and Working with Susan Seaforth Hayes In Emotional Episodes
Who says you can’t go home again? In the case of Another World favorite, Stephen Schnetzer (ex-Cass Winthrop), he has proven that it is true, and you can go back to your soap roots and where it all started for you.
Last week on April 11th, Schnetzer, along with several other key returns were on set at Days of our Lives taping all-new episodes of the Peacock streaming soap opera, centering on the funeral of Doug Williams (the late Bill Hayes), and as part of the iconic soap opera’s 15,000th episode.
Stephen is reprising his first daytime role as Steve Olson, the brother of Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes). The last time Schnetzer appeared on a DAYS set was during his one and only run on the show from 1978 to 1980. Clearly, viewers will be in for some very emotional scenes when Steve returns to Salem to be there for his sister, Julie in her time of need. In real-life, Susan has been going through her own grief, having just lost Bill back on January 12th at the age of 98.
Michael Fairman TV caught up with Stephen during the 15K episode celebration ceremony, and during a break from taping the gut-wrenching funeral scenes, to get his thoughts on being part of these highly-anticipated moments that will air later this year in December. Here’s what he shared with us below.
What has this been like for you to work with Susan Seaforth Hayes after all of these years?
STEPHEN: She’s a dream and she’s so bright. We ran lines yesterday and we ended up just visiting for about 45 minutes and just catching up and telling tales about each other’s career. She even dropped off the autobiography that she and Bill did. And being back here at DAYS, every time I turn a corner, there’s another familiar face. When I was on the show 40 more years ago, a bunch of the guys, played softball on a team together. This is really a trip down memory lane as I knew it would be.
Taping Doug’s funeral must be a hard day for Susan. Are you checking in with her to help hold her up through this?
STEPHEN: I am and I’m checking in with Amy Shaughnessy (Susan’s assistant), and she’s holding her up more than anybody. We’re there for each other.
There will obviously be some major hankie-inducing moments when Steve comes back to Salem to console his sister.
STEPHEN: Oh, wait till you see it in December. It’s going to be great.
Were you surprised you got this call to come back to the show decades later?
STEPHEN: It was out of the blue! I was completely surprised. They should have called me decades ago! That’s what surprised me. When Another World went down, I thought I’d land somewhere else and it never happened. That was more of a surprise.
Cass is such an identifiable character for you. As well, you and Linda Dano (ex-Felicia Gallant) are so synonymous together as best friends Cass and Felicia from Another World. When fans heard you were reprising your role as Steve Olson on DAYS, they are now hoping there will be more of you on the show to come.
STEPHEN: Steven Olson is a real “Cassian “character. I cut my teeth on Steve Olson and that’s how Cass was introduced. He was kind of a roguish charmer. And then when the character stuck for Another World, they rehabilitated me, and turned me into one of the shows heroes. And that’s what would’ve happened if I stayed as Steve Olson probably. So, Steve is the ‘pre-Cass’, Cass.
As the story goes, you originally decided to leave Days of our Lives?
STEPHEN: I was never on contract. I was doing a day and a half a week and I got a Broadway play directed by Franco Zeffirelli starring Joan Plowright and Frank Finlay. I was able to it as I didn’t have to break a contract or anything. I cut loose and went back to New York for that.
How well did you get to know Bill Hayes during your first time around on DAYS?
STEPHEN: My first episode was with Bill and Susan, as her long lost brother coming into Salem. They were so good to me. They were so kind. I had been doing eight years of classical repertory theater, never been in front of a camera. I tell everybody, it took me longer than any other actor I’ve ever seen to get comfortable in front of a camera. And they were very supportive at that time in my career. Coming back to honor Bill now in 2024, and to be see Susan, I am just so happy to be here.
Looking forward to seeing the scenes between Stephen and Susan Seaforth Hayes come December and Doug’s funeral and surrounding episodes? Do you hope that DAYS might bring the character of Steve Olson back for a longer stay? Comment below.

Y&R’s Hayley Erin Previews Her Role in Horror-Thriller ‘New Life’
Those recaps are not enough. WATCH THE SHOWS! They were so good and so worth it!
KUDOS to the writers who wrote a brilliant umbrella storyline that has had so many great twists and turns that has kept it fresh and interesting, and got nearly every character on canvas involved.
MAJOR kudos to Chandler, Freddie, Camilla, James, Ali, Lauren, Derek (Jenson..so creepy!), Sean (Vargas) and most especially Blake for kicking oh so much ass in this.
Blake is such an extraordinary talent!
Ditto! Salem’ites!
There’s so much to say….
ie: the whole cast is involved.
Blake is “thee” extraordinary….
i suggested a storyline a long time back where Will saves Nicks life and as a result Nick changes into a better person…now i hope it becomes 100% true…Nick apologizing to Will and Sonny, and the foursome of Will, Sonny, Nick and Gabi become great friends who’ll love baby Arianna and try to raise her together…but unfortunately this is a soap so sometime later something will happen and tear that friendship apart…maybe Will getting too close to the baby and Gabi that’ll make Nick and Sonny somewhat jealous and this will cause friction in all their relationships! Days is getting good again and i hope it stays that way. Now they need to fix the absent Bo situation!!!
no veo factible que will y gabi traisionen a sonny que ha dado su vida por will la trama perderia emocion.
Days has been great lately! LOL when Sonny was delivering the baby and said that he had closed his eyes when watching a film on childbirth in health class. A great line delivered by a great actor! Love Freddy!
Freddie is adorable!! I loved his scenes with Justin.
I said it before and I will say it again, when Days wants to they can put on quite the show. I only wish they wouldn’t just do it doing sweep weeks. It would be nice if they spread the wealth around throughout the year, and not just when it benefits them the most. But out of all the soaps on network Days Mays Sweep shows were the best. Can’t wait for Will to wake up and see his daughter.
Days does a great job with wrapping up storylines like “Will’s the Father” ending and now this one. Blake Berris & Chandler Massey are absolutely the most best performers this show has! Freddie and Camila also did a great job.
I don’t want Nick to lose his edge because Blake is great at that but I do hope this brings Will & Nick closer together. I really look forward to the talk Will & Nick have after what Will overheard.
My only wish is that DAYS would have more cliffhanger moments so we don’t have to wait for a sweeps week for something to happen!!!
I see great potential for Vargas & Hope with this storyline also .. anyone else see their chemistry?
Now, if only Days would unload that boring Jen, Daniel, Abby & new icky JJ storyline and I’d be a happy camper once again 🙂
Where are they going with the character of Vargas? I am confused. One minute he was berating Nick and then he was supporting him. Love Cameron, Abby and Chad on my screen. Ej and sami, Kristen and Brady and Stephano and Kate. I am glued to the show except when Daniel and Jennifer are on…and this from me once a Jennifer fan. I am with JJ on this romance…it was too much too contrived and much too soon after Jack.
overall… DAYS is driving on all cylindars…
except, once again…. back to now it’s JJ driving a wedge between “the” two new darlings, supercouple…. gag… “Daniel” and Jenn.
honestly…… Nicole tried.
Chloe tried.
JJ’s trying…. i never once really heard anything good about this pair, from the start.
it’s a shame, really…. I feel for the characters of Hope and Jenn.
I really do like the idea and watching more Hortons… and IMO… Melissa Reeves does have the chops to be a Mother….. not so much in the romace dept…
get a clue writers… find someone else… Daniel? again, and again, and again.
————-
on todays epi… i thought perhaps… it crossed my mind….. what ! ? ! ? about a possible Vargas and Hope ???? seemed like they were testing the waters… he kinda reminds me of a young Peter Blake…. he’s rough, roguish… toughie… reformed bad guy, …. kinda Bo’ish…. OK… give this some thought.
I like Vargas and Hope actually. I think they had some real chemistry and if they hit it off then find out that Vargas has been threatening Nick, there is some storyline potential there. Kristian has been wasted since Peter left and deserves her own storyline!!
Matt Ashford and Jack need to return because as much as they try & try to force feed Daniel & Jen us & throw these stupid obstacles (Nick, Chloe and now that little twit JJ) on us, they’re still dull and I’m not rooting for them. Missy was at her BEST with Matt Ashford always!!!
I like the rest of the show though, well, except Cameron. I think Abby & Chad have more chemistry!
Vargas and Hope would be hot!
I agree with others that I see a Vargas and Hope hook up in the future. The good cop and the not so good ex-con– so much potential for good story telling. Hope really needs a story line. I like Vargas, he seems like a creep, but every once in a while you see the good in him– I think Hope can bring that out in him.
And yes, Jen and Daniel are sooo not right for each other, why do not the writers see that? Don’t they watch their own show? The two actors have no chemistry in real life, which is a must for any good couple to work. I’m still hoping for a Jen and Brady hook up– I saw a flicker of chemistry between them when both were grieving the loss of their significant other after the blast last summer. Daniel could leave town any time and he would not be missed. I want them to bring back Mike Horton to be Salem’s super doctor.
Oooh, Brady & Jen are cute 🙂
Brady is cute. Jenn not so much. She needs to stick to being a mom.
I feel that the storyline for Will and Sonny has been the best so far and now we have baby Arianna Grace added to it. We will see how this couple can become closer and work together with Gabi and Nick to create a support system for this little baby. I would really like to see Will and Sonny grow closer and eventually make a commitment to each other by getting engaged and eventually married. Chandler and Freddie are doing a terrific job in their roles, and deserve all the recognition they are receiving.
