Longtime “Days of Our Lives” viewers may remember the dramatic story of Addie Horton, Doug Williams, and Julie Olson. Addie was the oldest daughter of beloved Salem couple Tom and Alice Horton (via Soap Central). Addie married her first husband, Ben Olson, and had two children, Steven and Julie. In 1967, Addie and Ben decided to leave Salem and move to Paris. However, they left the then-teenage Julie in Salem with Tom and Alice. A few years later, Ben died in Paris and Addie came home to Salem to stir up some trouble on “DOOL.”
When Doug Williams met Bill Horton in prison, the two became friends. Once released, Doug came to Salem in hopes of using his skills as a con man to get some cash, per Soaps in Depth. So, when he was paid to seduce Julie in hopes of getting her away from her then-husband, Scott Banning, he took the job. However, Doug and Julie actually began to develop real feelings for one another. The two carried on a secret affair until Julie decided to divorce Scott and run away with Doug. However, when Addie came back to town she wasn’t thrilled about her daughter’s relationship with Doug. She later exposed the couple’s affair and all of Doug’s past transgressions as a con man.
