Like sands through the hourglass,
so are the Days of our Lives...

For over forty years, those words, spoken by the late Macdonald Carey, have introduced and underscored one of daytime drama's rare mainstays. NBC's Days of our Lives, will celebrate its 43th anniversary on November 8, 2008. It first premiered as a half-hour drama in 1965 and expanded to an hour ten years later. Today, it remains a consistent favorite among viewers of daytime television serials. It is the powerhouse of NBC's soap opera lineup and demonstrates its staying power in television history.

In its lifetime years, Days of our Lives has garnered numerous Emmy Awards, Soap Opera Digest Awards and People's Choice Awards. The show's success derives from its consistent commitment to excellence in writing and storytelling, supported by an ensemble of performers, and an uncanny knack for anticipating viewer interests. From demonic possessions and baby switches to exciting teen stories and love triangles, Days of our Lives remains a perennial favorite among viewers of all ages.

Filmed in Burbank, California, Days of our Lives is set in the fictitious midwestern town of Salem. The core families are the Hortons and the Bradys, and the multi-layered storylines involve elements of romance, adventure, mystery, comedy and drama. Original cast member Frances Reid continues to star as Alice Horton.

Days of our Lives is produced by Corday Productions Inc. in association with Sony Pictures Television. Executive producer, Ken Corday, is following in the tradition of his parents, Betty and Ted Corday, who co-created Days of our Lives and helmed the series for many years. less «

  This was so sad. Scenes with Sami and Rafe were just simply heart-breaking. Also, it almost seems like Mia has a six sense as she was holding Grace as she was dying. EJ of course is being a total jerk. Yeah, Sami shouldn't have kept "his" baby from her, but he should look at his life and actions and stop playing the blame game. The previews for tomorrow really makes him to be a real A-holeless «

  Crystal Chappel is returning to the role of Carly Manning on DAYS, when Guiding Light comes to an end in Sept. I'm thinking on something, she could be connected to Mia, and since we've never seen Mia's mother, I'm thinking that it could be Carly, this is only a guess. Who thinks this is a good theory? less «

  So from the few scenes they've had together, I have to think the show's moving to pair up Brady with Rafe's sister, Arianna. Frankly, I like the idea. The two do seem to have chemistry, and Brady only has two other options -- Nicole, who's made it clear she's staying with E.J., and Melanie, who's WAY too young for him. So I think Arianna's the best, safest way to go. What do you all think? less «

  A Guilty Pleasure... hide « show »

  Alright, I'll admit it--my day is just not complete if I don't stop to catch up with the outrageous antics in the fictional town of Salem. Despite the revolving door of writers, budget cuts and frequent cast changes, the show remains addictively entertaining. It sucks you in and, like a train wreck, it's virtually impossible to look away--because you're always left wondering what will happen next. Simply put, it's escapism at it's best. Now, if only the real world was more like Salem--we'd all be impossibly beautiful, and no one would ever have to work, eat or go to the bathroom.

  "Like sands through the hourglass, so are the Days of our Lives." hide « show »

  These are the words that opened one of TV's most beloved and longest running daytime dramas. "Days" debuted on NBC on November 8, 1965 and followed the turbulent lives and loves of the Hortons, Bradys and other residents of the fictional town of Salem. For over 4 decades, the soap had underwent many changes as it continues to thrive with stories of passion, betrayal, jealousy, revenge, heartbreak and triumph. It also helped launch the careers of some of today's hottest names in primetime, including Lisa Rinna and Jensen Ackles. And while other shows may have come and gone throughout the years, "Days" is still at its best.

  7.5 Good

  'Days of Our Lives' follows the citizens of a town called Salem. There's plenty of drama, scandals, and relationships. Main characters include the Brady family, the Dimeras, and the Hortons. No matter what, there's always something dramatic going on! hide « show »

  WOW. It has been a long and crazy ride with this show. Sometimes, I have stopped watching it completely -- after all, the storylines tend to be pretty long-winded and farfetched. For example, people constantly are coming back from the dead, sometimes YEARS after their death. The MOST outlandish storyline I can remember was probably Marlena Evans's possession by a demon. It was so, SO weird! LOL
  
  But as you can imagine, the show has a lot of characters with long histories. These characters have become so familiar, and I genuinely enjoy watching their antics and schemes. For example, I really like Nicole Walker. She's a scandalous woman with very loose morals, but her struggles and development have been fun to watch.
  
  Actually, that pretty much sums up 'Days of Our Lives' in a sentence -- fun to watch. Sure, the storylines can just be silly. But the characters are like old friends that have been on TV for years. The wardrobe, backgrounds, and lifestyles are (usually) classy and engrossing. You are truly transported into another world when you watch this show every day.
  
  I have watched this show for ages, and I will probably continue to watch it well into the rest of my life. 'Days of Our Lives' is (perhaps because of familiarity) my favorite daily show. I recommend it to anyone who wants a daily dose of drama!

  8 Great

  A show involving several major families in a mid-western town close to Chicago: The Hortons, the Bradys the DiMeras and the Kiriakis'. The show follows these families as they live and love through numerous tragedies. hide « show »

  This show has had its ups and downs over the past 40+ years, but it's still going... not as strong as it used to be, but still going... Unfortunately, many of the veteran characters are underused and the current HW likes to torture fans of several couple fanbases. Too many actors on the show are back-burnered in favor of the younger set. There are so many talented actors and actresses on the show, but "fresh blood" continues to be brought in, instead of utilizing the characters already on the canvas. This show would greatly improve if they would lose all the "hype" stories, and go back to character driven drama. Here's hoping this "guilty pleasure" stays on the boob tube long enough to build back up to its glory DAYS!!
