DOUG WILLIAMS'S HISTORY
Brent Douglas was an orphaned runaway. He had been a conman his entire life and when he came to Salem in 1970, he was sent to jail (caught in a con). It was there that he met Bill Horton, who was serving time for manslaughter (of Kitty Horton). After he was out of prison, he met and went for Susan Martin who had inherited a fortune from her late husband David. Susan didn't fall for him but she offered him a deal. She would pay him to come between Julie Olson and Scott Banning. Doug fell for Julie when he started working as a singer at Sergio's. After Julie left Scott, there was talk of a wedding.
In 1972 Doug met Addie Horton Olson. They forged a friendship and when he and Julie argued one night about taking David (Julie's son) on a trip, he went to see Addie and agreed to marry her. They married in June and the next year after, Addie became pregnant with Hope. She went into a leukemia induced coma during her pregnancy and gave birth to Hope on December 24th. She went into remission until a few years later when she passed on after being hit by a car. Doug was devastated and in 1975 Doug raised Hope all by himself. He hired a nanny, Rebecca North, who became a surrogate mother for him. He let the child go with his mother when he got back together with Julie in 1976 and just as things were going well for Doug and Julie, his ex-wife Kim Douglas came to Salem to start trouble, but Doug and Julie ended up married in 1976 despite her efforts.
The year after their marriage, Doug's Place (his club) was turned into a coffee house. When Doug was away on business, Larry Attwood came to town. He was obsessed with Julie and raped her in 1978. Larry was found dead and Julie was arrested and put on trial for his murder. Larry's assistant, Arlo Roberts was found to be the murderer and Julie was then cleared but left to get over her trauma.
The next year, Julie was burned on Maggie's farm and her insecurities forced her to divorce Doug for fear he would not want to be with her.
Thinking Julie didn't love him anymore he married Lee Dumonde in 1979 and closed his coffee house the year after. With all of the changes to his life, he realized that marrying Lee was a mistake. He ended their marriage and remarried Julie in 1981.
Lee was a woman scorned and turned their daughter Hope against him. Hope was then brought up by Tom and Alice Horton. Her grandparents.
Julie and Doug were involved in a big adventure with Stefano DiMera and Stuart Whyland. Stefano knew about titanium deposits underneath Doug's Place and wanted to get them. He tunneled his way under his mansion to the wine cellar at Doug's Place to try to get them but failed. It turned out that there were no deposits anyway.
Doug had a heart attack in 1984 after witnessing his daughter Hope and her beau, Bo Brady, about to make love.
In 1986 Doug and Julie divorced and remarried again. This time it would be for good. They came back to Salem only for Doug to be one of the handful of Salemites killed by the Salem Stalker. Later he was found on Tony DiMera's replica Salem Island, Melaswen. He got back to Salem, back with Julie and the two have shown up for Christmases and odd appearances ever since. Christmas 2006 found them back in Salem to hang their ornaments on the Horton Family Christmas Tree.
Doug and Julie returned to Salem once again for Christmas in 2007. Shortly after, they teamed up with Bo and Hope to try to get to the bottom of the Brady/DiMera feud. This lead them to help find Lexi, who was missing at that time. Much later, Doug and Julie helped Bo with his surprise for Hope and were there for the renewal of Bo and Hope's wedding vows. Doug also offered Bo some advice when he was worried about Chelsea's involvement with Dr. Daniel Jonas.

Monday, September 29 2008: You're Pregnant... Nicole!
Melanie continues to poke around in Trent's wallet, at Chez Rouge. She takes out cash for the dinner but Nick tells her to put her money away. He's paying. She asks if he can show her Salem's hot spots but he doesn't know them. She flirts and says she can teach him a thing or two.
Julie and Doug show up at Chez Rouge. They spy Melanie. Maggie and Mickey explain that Melanie is Max's sister. Julie says there is something about her body language that she doesn't like.
Back at Nick's table, Melanie asks Nick if he needs ice for his hand. She's never had anyone protect her before. She gets up and sits on his lap and theatrically calls him her hero.
Nearby, Julie and Maggie agree that Melanie's a trouble maker. Doug asks how they know. "Takes one to know one," says Julie, laughing. They're interrupted by Hope, who calls to ask Mickey to go to the station. Caroline was arrested for the murder of Trent Robbins. Julie finds it ludicrous and they all agree to go to the station, but first, they have to tell Melanie. Mickey tells her.
At the station, Roman is told that Trent was murdered and Bo is bringing a suspect in. Bo walks in with Caroline and Roman glances up. "Ma what are you doing here? Bo, I thought you were bringing in a suspect." He looks from Bo's distressed face to Caroline's bloodied hands and says, "No. Uh uh. This can't be." Bo tells Roman she was found holding what was probably the murder weapon. She says, "I didn't kill him. You've got to believe me." Roman believes her, and tells her everything will be okay. Mickey, Maggie, Julie and Doug arrive and comfort Caroline, who says it doesn't look very good. Mickey takes Caroline into Roman's office to talk, while Doug asks Bo what happened. Bo explains and Maggie offers to go sit with her. She does so and Roman goes to the lab while Bo calls Hope at the cemetery. Doug and Julie discuss how Trent wasn't well liked but Julie can't believe that someone would murder him.
Nick and Melanie arrive at the station. Doug and Julie apologize for her loss. Melanie wants to know what happened. Though what he did with Claude was wrong, he's still her dad. Bo asks if Melanie can identify her father's body when he's brought in. She can, and says she needs to prepare herself. She turns to Nick. "I'm so glad you're here. I don't know what I would have done without you."
Inside Roman's office, Roman and Mickey discuss the case with Maggie and Caroline. They may have to put her in jail, considering four witnesses saw her with what appears to be the murder weapon, and since she has known animosity with the victim. Roman must walk Caroline down to her jail cell. Julie yells to Bo that this is a travesty and Bo promises he won't rest until he finds out who did it.
Roman closes the bars in on Caroline, in her cell. She holds his hand, as though to say she'll be fine.
Friday, September 19 2008: Pulling the Strings.
Daniel finishes his speech and he and Lexi leave the board meeting. The board deliberates while, outside the boardroom, Daniel cracks jokes about Eleanor being a constipated board member. Lexi knows she has made some mistakes, but Daniel asks her to stay positive. Lexi loves her job, but is having second thoughts, because of the pressure. "I need to be there for my little boy," she says. "Then you know what you have to do," says Daniel. They return to the boardroom and Eleanor is about to tell her that the board voted in her favor, when Lexi resigns as Chief of Staff. The board members are shocked, but she tells them it's best for her and for the hospital. Her focus needs to be on her family and on Theo. She'll continue her practice, with a more flexible schedule. She thanks the board members, but when Eleanor asks her once to reconsider, Lexi refuses to. She has made her decision, and leaves. Once the meeting is adjourned, Victor lectures Daniel about his fling with Kate. "How could you do this?" Daniel doesn't think it's Victor's business, but Victor disagrees. Daniel calls their time together a mistake. "It was only a couple of times." He's not giving up on Chelsea. They argue, but when Victor finds out that Kate is in the hospital, he rushes to her side.
