The couple met on the set of the show in 1970 and was married for 50 years.
They played husband and wife duo Doug and Julie Williams on Days of Our Lives .
“I’m magnificently supported by all the people that love Bill that I knew, and then all the people that I didn’t even know who love Bill,” Susan told the outlet.
“People come up to me in the street, I get actual mail from people, I see lots of comments on the Instagram page and the various platforms. I thought I was the one that understood him and love him so much, but I wasn’t the only one, and that’s been very gratifying.”
Despite receiving an outpouring of love from fans, Susan has confessed that she’s been “very lonely” without Bill.
She lives with her daughter Anne Schoettle and Days of Our Lives director David Shaughnessy.
Still, Susan admitted she spends a lot of time alone.
“We still say adios around five o’clock in the afternoon, so I fill the next 12 hours or more with other things than companionship,” she said.
“There are so many treasures from Bill’s career that I’m still searching in my heart for where I should put them [so] that they’ll have the most impact and mean the most to people.”
Susan added that she needs “to finish the novel that Billy and I were working on for nearly 10 years.”
Bill’s final episode , which aired on Friday, showed the actor and his on-and-off-screen wife sharing a sweet moment together.
