Bill Hayes and Susan Seaforth began to develop a romance of their own. It was "at first publicized by the soapmill as 'just friends,' but slowly it developed into a full-scale love affair." On a weekend, the two secretly married. Only a few friends of the couple knew about the event. When the press got knowledge of this, it "set off a commotion among fans, who wrote endless 70-270 Braindump letters to the show asking that the couple also be allowed to get married in the story. If they could get married in real life, so the argument went, they certainly should be able to get together on screen." The writers of Days of our Lives refused popular demand, prolonging the anticipation of the two marrying onscreen. "Nothing was ever such a guarantee of good ratings as star-crossed lovers everyone knew belonged together. But finally the producers set the date for the marriage and Days put on one of the most extravagant weddings imaginable on the screen. It was such a soap opera media event that the local L.A. press (Days, along with General Hospital and The Young and the Restless, which is produced in Los Angeles) was invited to the studio to watch."In the episode featuring Doug 350-018 Braindump and Julie's honeymoon, Susan Seaforth managed to get by the censors one of the most suggestive lines imaginable for daytime television in the 1970s. When Doug (Bill Hayes) asked her what she'd like for breakfast, she listed a few of the usual choices like juice and coffee, topped off with a leering request for "big pink sausage." It may have been an ad lib, but it worked as provocative just the same.Doug and Julie were the first soap opera characters to grace the cover of TIME magazine.Entertainment Weekly calls them one of the great soap opera supercouples.A supercouple (also known as a power couple or dynamic duo) is a popular or financially wealthy pairing that intrigues and fascinates the public in an intense or even obsessive fashion. The term was coined in the early 1980s when intense public interest in the fictional soap opera couple Luke Spencer and Laura Webber from General Hospital made the pair a popular culture phenomenon. Outside of the soap opera medium, the supercouple title has proliferated as a way of referring to certain fictional 350-030 Braindump couples from primetime television dramas and film, such as Gone With the Wind, whose Rhett Butler and Scarlett O'Hara characters popularized the catch phrase "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn". The supercouple created by the ill-fated ex-lovers Rick and Ilsa in Casablanca has been called one of cinemas most beloved couples. With real-life celebrity couples, the tabloid and even the mainstream media have become fascinated with some wealthy or famous power couples, such as the former pairing of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, which became known by the portmanteau Bennifer (for Ben and Jennifer) and the marriage of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes (nicknamed "TomKat"). In addition, the term has entered psychology, as a type of mental stress called "Supercouple Syndrome" which occurs when two overachieving individuals within a romantic pairing are both striving for success
