    Mia and Chad hide show

    This story line with Mia and Chad is so old news. When is this girl ever going to find out her baby died months ago.? It' so lame to hear her talk about her baby day after day and we the viewers know she doesn't exist. I don't know if you think the viewers are idiots, but my friends and I think it would be time to find something new to add to the story. Poor Chad thinks he has a child and this whole custody battle if for nothing. Talk about empty storylines. Wake up writers. We want some believeable stories.

    DOOL is a soap opera,mostly based on 2 families.
    The Brady's & the Horton's.
    Everyone knows everyone in Salem ,USA.
    There are feuds between families:
    the DiMera's & Kiriakis's
    Actually the DiMera's & everyone in town.
    hide show

    DOOL is the best show that has ever been on tv.
    I haven't missed an episode since I was 12 (1983).
    I couldn't live w/o it.
    Kristian Alfonso & Peter Reckell (Bo & Hope) have been my fave. couple forever & Kristian is my Idol.

    Every important issue has been on it from :
    rape, drug addiction,teenage pregnancy,alcoholism,becoming deaf or blind,losing a child or other family member,to "Going Green".
    (And much,much more)

    This "soap" has the best cast,who "act" better than any other "soap" actors do.
    Past & Present.

    Look at all the unforgettable "super couples" this show has had.
    Bo & Hope
    Steve & Kayla
    John & Marlena
    Jack & Jennifer
    Sami & Lucas
    & more,and more to come I'm sure.

    Fact is,I Need This Show.
    It is a Big Part Of My Daily Routine.

    It's a 5 star show

    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!
