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 45th anniversary on November 8, 2009. 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.moreless

  • A Guilty Pleasure...

    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.moreless

    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 showmoreless

    This show is Great. There is always something going on. And also unlike other soaps Days of Our Lives looks real. Other soaps look and sound so fake. On DAYS you never know what is going to happen but on others you see it coming. Days is original that is for sure.... I started watching when I was 15 years old in the summer of 1994 and I have been a fan ever since. I don't even care to watch the others even thought some of the best went on to others. Keep up the great work actors and actress and writters....moreless

    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.
