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’
Oh, c’mon, now…really? I bet Hunter will be given the role of town cryer, ….I mean literally….not the one who rings the bell.
Lisa Rinna? Perhaps she is there to solve the silicone lips on the cadaver mystery.
Oops ! The wording in my above post is wrong. I meant….Lisa Rinna’s role will be to solve the mystery of the cadaver with the silicone lips. Of all the actresses, CSI could have chosen….Lisa Rinna? She belongs with the rest of those plastic housewives who run around nilly willy, like hens with their empty heads cut off.
Time for Sharon to find out who her husband is Adam. Chelsea go away just drop the baby off like she does well and let Sharon have her husband back because clearly Chelsea has no clue who the man is not even without surgery. Adam never can trust Chelsea!!!
Ew and EW. Guess I’ll be missing CSI this week. CSI doesn’t need to stoop so low.
Hunter King is so gorgeous!!!!!
I skipped it long ago. William Peterson WAS CSI!
Well I thought that was why Billy Miller left Y&R because JFP would not let him do other projects. Yet here is HHK doing other things. Boy did the viewers get screwed on this one.
CSI is on CBS Y&R is on CBS .. it is a crossover on same network..
not other projects..
She’s a princess!
She’s doing a pretty good job of being ‘a princess’, Timmm…..I suppose that is the intent. I just wish she did it with more finesse….the whining is irritating.
And, she is not gorgeous…she’s a very attractive girl, but not in the league of ‘gorgeous’.
Eileen Davidson is what I consider gorgeous. This, from another woman’s point of view. We, as women, are the best critics of other women…..and, I say it with all humility.
Hunter is not a very good actress either. Her rendition of crying over her husband was a joke. JMO, guys.
Lots of disgruntled MM fans still apparently. She may play a whiny messed up rich kid on Y&R but she plays it to a T. I understand not liking her character but to diss her as an up and coming actor is just plain sour grapes.
Why is it when anyone says anything negative about Hunter K. it has to be related to M.M. I can’t stand her but I really like the new Adam/Gab. I don’t like Nikki constantly playing a drunk when she is such a great actress they never give her any decent scripts to sink her teeth into, I’m disappointed they treat Sharon so poorly another great actress being used as a Newman whipping board. I don’t think they had a lot to do with your M.M. I don’t like her acting,I think she always has a front burner story, I think she gets too much air time, & she’s in every photo shoot from Y & R. As for an up & coming actor how can you say that when she’s been up against such talent as Camryn Grimes (Mariah) Linsey Godfree (Caroline B &B) just to give you two from last award show & she won??? Really
Thank you, Nikki…..my thinking exactly!
Awwwww
Poor Hunter/Summer- got killed dead !
I thought she did a good job on CSI. I was surprised to see her.
The episode was horrible. The show was never the same for me once Warwick and Grissom left. Another thing with this show and many CBS shows, they seem to run the same storylines each week with the same type casting.
Grissom was the best….do not watch much since he left.
I for one was hoping that Summer would be the one to die! Hunter King can not act. How she won an Emmy is beyond me. Recast the role! As for CSI. I like it much better now with Ted Danson on it. It’s fresh after all these years.
