For his portrayal of Doug Williams, Bill Hayes was given the Daytime Emmy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2018.[5] Hayes was also nominated for Emmy Awards for Outstanding Actor in a Daytime Drama Series in 1975 and 1976. In 2020, Charlie Mason from Soaps She Knows placed Doug at #15 on a list of the 35 most memorable characters from Days of Our Lives, saying "The erstwhile Brent Douglas has come a long way from his humble beginnings. The smooth-talking con man became a good guy — so good, in fact, that viewers deemed him worthy of the heroine at No. 8. [Julie Olson]".[6]
