Days Of Our Lives

Suspenseful! Marlena and John sophisticated talent. Chad, Melanie, Abigail, Cameron, Will and Sonny: FUN, SMART! Nicole, Billie, Madison, Sami Yin to Lucas, Rafe, EJ,, Bradys' Yang!

I think I take a glimse at soaps because they always have a LOT to say, A LOT of things going on amongst the characters, and a LOT of interaction. Family life will always be corrupt and so are love lives. Love portrayed here is definitely difficult. I think that's what makes these shows interesting to watch on occasion.

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.

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....

Could someone please tell me whys days has just stopped on cbs drama last episode 31st Aug 2010 nothing said at the end but shown what happens on next episode ????????????????????I have been watching for years and really enjoy it. It will be a shame if it just ends for no reason, i used to watch it on channel 5 then lost it but found it again on zone romantica and was so pleased it was on a 9.oclock and repeated at 4.oclock then it got moved to 1.oclock in the morning i really hope it comes back on soon can anyone help ??????

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.

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.

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!

days is a really good show. Even though sammy and lucas are still NOT together the show is great bo and hope make such a great couple. marlene and John should always and forever be together!!!!! this is the best tv soap opera in the world and it will probably always stay that way in my opionin. i think that keeping stephon alive just makes the show even better!!! i love this show and i cant wait to see what happens between sammy and lucas and ej. i really think that people who dont watch this show should it wouldn't be a waste of time i promise!

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!!

I love Days!!! When the shows over for the day i always cant wait to watch it tomorrow!! But, Ahh i hate the Nicole and EJ are maybe starting a realtionship!! Nicole is not the family type, and a total Witch I wish Sami would come to her senses and let EJ in likes she wants too. i mean come on a daily days watcher cant clearly tell that Sami is really the one for EJ! shes just to stubborn to admitt it.. and seriously u can tell that Sami charater has really improved in the last 10 years.. she deserves to be happy for once. and Ej needs to forget bout Nicole and try harder for Sami.. i can tell that hes giving up on her which i dont blame him but, Nicole yuck! And Sami really needs to just not be afraid of Nicole being prego too and tell Ej shes having his baby again.. he just better pick Sami in the outcome of it all...........

Stefano is brilliant as the villain and as you view the corruption of the Brady controlled Salem PD, you find yourself rooting for Stefano to do his worst.



Stefano's son EJ is involved with scheming and impulsive Sami Brady. They share a son Johnny from the time EJ raped her. All about that time is forgiven and Sami has feelings for EJ now, but cannot commit. She's currently distracted, battling her ex-husband former love-of-her-life Lucas Brady for custody of her child Ally. Whilst this is going on, long time nemesis of Sami, Nicole Walker, who is sassy, sarcastic and somewhat of an alcoholic, is pregnant with EJ's spawn from their one time tryst in a stopped elevator. It's juicy stuff without being borderline incestuous.

I've always wondered how Days would tackle the custody issue with Sammy and Lucas. So far, it's been interesting and I'm sure they try to keep it realistic as possible. As a person going through the same, way different circumstances of course, I can't figure out if it is realistic or not. I think it's great that Lucas wants to be apart of Allie's life and Sammy seems to want to take that away from him. Can't Lucas have a little time? The best was hearing Lucas say "even steven." It's a similar term I hear my child's father say a lot, "50/50." Not when you're separated...it just can't work and be positive for everyone involved. I also like that they're covering the roles their new "partners" will play. Interesting twists and informative. Thank you Days of Our Lives! I can't wait to see where this goes.

I have been watching days for since I was 10 now i,m going on 37 please it needs to get better getting very boring lately bring shawn and bell back on carrie and austin too miss them very much . bring passions back to tv too it was awesome show dont know why the writers and tv took them off bad mistake. i, mean something needs to be better on days before they go off the air because its getting so boring I really dont care to watch any more. i would had rather watched passions and it was only on for almost 9 years and it was better and i never thought i would say that

Update: summer '08 - getting better - like the eco-friendly subplot (though they mispronounce the word! It's "eeko-friendly" not "echo-friendly"!) No anti-science, anti-logic rants. ************original review*************

I've watched the show on/off since the 1980's. I was initially drawn to the characters, especially Jennifer who I identified with. I stopped watching the first time the show got ultra religious and had Marlena possessed and John turn out to be a priest. A few years ago I found out they brought back Matthew Ashford to play Jack, so I started watching again. I had to stop again very quickly when they gave Medically INACCURATE information about abortions and tried to demonize the choice to not carry a fetus to term. Occasionally I'll sneak a peak (when they brought back Frankie) but I am unable to watch more than a few minutes before I get disgusted/angry.



Literally, every other sentence is a reference to god/religion. (specifically Christianity). Seriously, try making a list of the number of times per episode someone goes to the hospital chapel (with a big cross), goes to St. Luke's church or says a prayer or if you really want some fun, keep track of the # of times someone references "god", "prayer", "miracle" or "priest". Weddings now feature passages from the bible, sermons and morality lectures from the Irish priest. Christmas now features bible readings. Mimi literally had visions of the Virgin Mary. Nearly every single character blatantly wears a large visible cross (sometimes they have cross necklaces. I don't normally care if there's mentions of religion or god in a show, nor do I normally notice/care if someone wears a cross - but this is BLATANT-in-your-face pushing of Christianity. (note all the Christian rock ads aired during the show) It is the main reason I do not watch this show any longer. The proselytizing is offensive and ruins the show!!



The second reason I don't watch anymore is how conservative this show is. I could list many examples, but I'll limit myself to a few: Now I have no problem with parents staying home to care for their kids if they want to/can afford it. However, I caught a recent rant to Belle about how women's NUMBER ONE (and implied...SOLE PURPOSE) is to stay home with their children. Mind you, it was not worded as "parental" duties - it was definitely very gendered to only the mom. There is CONTINUOUS bashing of single adults or even nonbiological parents raising children! Belle literally credited her good life solely to the fact that both her biological parents raised her. Sami always blames her bad behavior on her "broken home". And others have over and over again stated that children who don't have both biological parents (only heterosexuals of course!) will be screwed up. This is so outdated (and incorrect if you examine developmental psychology studies!) and so antifeminist it angers me. Speaking of incorrect facts, making Mimi not only suffer hallucinations & guilt and being left for having an abortion - they went so far as to claim her abortion made her sterile! This was a blatant antichoice "lesson" with no balance perspective or any other viewpoints shown! Marlena/Belle claim doctors & logical reason are wrong - "faith" will cure John. This show pushes a very conservative social agenda and is probably written by the religious right to push their views about how people should live their lives.



The show lacks any relation to actual reality. Outside of maybe the midwest or the south is there really such a homogeneous set of Caucasian middle-upper class people? I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen Asian or Latin people. And there's only ever (at most) 4 African-Americans - the super-stereotype "Vodoo priestess" Celeste; Lexie, Abe (and if there's another Af-Am male then you KNOW Lexie will have to sleep with him. ) They flirted with having one gay character but there must've been a protest or something because he disappeared quickly. Per their ultraChristian missionary bent, there are no other religions even mentioned or god forbid (pun intended) an atheist!



The last irksome point is how the show has decided that it only wants to appeal to Caucasian Christian conservatives who are country-listening Nascar fans. Nowadays ALL the music at any bar or restaurant or a character is listening to is always country (except when they do a rare unsubtle promotional stunts like Rolling Stones or Smokey Robinson). Recently they've decided they need to try to appeal even more to the Nascar crowd so they've brought in 3 racecar drivers and featured a race in an episode. They've dumbed down Shawn's character - he was in college planning to be a lawyer - now all of a sudden he is shown saying he doesn't know how to use a computer and settles for a blue-collar job fixing cars as the only job he can get? Max (the Nascar racer) & Shawn talk about how they're Hunters (something I've never heard mentioned before) , Connor's a southern drawlin' rodeo cowboy? How much more redneck can they get?



I really like many of the actors & characters (Jack, Jenn, John, Frankie, Patch, Billie, Sami etc.) but I can not stand the writers' social agenda!



NBC please note: If they ever join the rest of the nation in this century and try to update their show, we would start watching again. But if they're really going to carry on airing this propaganda piece for the religious right, then I wish they would just cancel the show rather than demean the characters/actors by doing this to them! I'm not asking for anything crazy like a John&Abe love match or Hope to catch AIDS from unprotected sex with a guy she barely knows (Patrick). But how about an interracial couple? Or showing a Jewish person? Or an Asian person (who's not playing a doctor) Or a non-"nuclear" family of mom-dad-kid-- how about a single dad? Let's lose the stereotypes & show a place that acknowledges todays diverse population and ways of living!

I love this show all though I am not quiet sure about this Sammi and lucus ordeal. Personaly I would like to see her with E.J Lucus is to hot headed and mean... Marlana and John are personal favorites. I just hope John gets his memory back soon. Kayla and Steve are nauseating at times but they are all in all ok I just hope the baby makes it out of nicu. All in all an awesome show to watch..!!! I just wish they would think about the story line a little better when it comes to lucus and sammi that gets a bit frusterating. It almost makes you want to change the channel. (thats if you werent so addicted to whats going to happen next!)

This is to Joseph Mascolo. Congradulations on your Mom and Dad's 80th anniversary. Your Dad was my Dad's Barber, we lived 3 doors down from them on Levesque Ave. They looked great on the news and happy. You and your sister are very lucky to still have both of them all these years. Your Dad use to walk everyday down the street, always dressed nicely and smile at all he knew with his standard greeting "Hello Paesano". You must be very proud, as I am sure they are of you and your sister. You have been Blessed with great parents. Mary Ellen Ceraldi formally from West Hartford.

i love days ever since 1972 when ifrist watch it watch it every since over the years been a great soap bit i like it when john with marlenea they are so good together like doug and juelie i love them back when she married doug to rasie hope and you been a great soapi try never miss it and love eg and samie together think their great too iknow a man to watch a soap so long but it been a great one hope to see more of john now in storylines so keep up good workthanks for the years

I have been watching this soap since I was about 6 or 7, My grandmas, mom watched this soap and my whole family watched it. That's all my grandma, mo and aunts would watch at 1 on NBC. I love the show and got sucked in fast, but now they are just playing the same stories on and on and im sick of it and wont watch it. I mean give belle and Shawn a break and let them get back together (which they have now) and what about Sami and Lucas Omg just leave them alone, get rid of EJ and let them move on! Same with all the rest, just move on form them getting hurt all the time and playing the same storyline forever. Hopefully things changed because this soap used to be number one Watched and now its lower the Passions for being watched! Which believe me is bad!

The scenes between Stefano and Marlena in November after EJ was shot gave Days viewers hope that the writers are finally getting it right! The accidental murder of the rapist and following aftermath was ridiculous. If Days is to survive they must get the super couples back to the center of the action. Hope and Bo should be the leaders along with Patch and Kala, John and Marlena, Sami and EJ!

Deirdre Hall and the other actors deserve the chance to save the show. The way it is being written now will sink Days in six months. Is this the plan? Deidre Hall's scenes with Joseph Mascolo, as Stefano, have been brillint but not enough for DAYS to survive this year of terrible writing.

I love this show. i have watched it for years. my grand mother watched it so i got interested in it to and have watched every sence.i like to think that a true fan watches even when to show is not at it's best. but this one is. it keeps me wanting to watch it again to find out what happenes next. i love sammie and lucas. the whole brady family. and yes even kate and ej.i like the way they add the older brady nunn and the demeria. i would like to see more about that.the whole story all about the romance and the war. it is exciting to me to see the pass repeting it's self.

OK since 1965... well done. However can it be any more bizarre? It is ridiculous? A soap will always be a soap. But from demon possessed super psychos to aliens taking over Salem? I haven't seen it for years but If I were to watch it now, I should know what going on. It takes forever to move along and then the FLASHBACKS. In my country we are 3 years behind. So if Days of our lives is canceled we will still watch it for 3 years after. I suppose it is more inclined to please woman. To all woman enjoy.

I started watching this with my mom when I was 12 and have never really stopped. My wife and I watch it together at night and if I miss a few days I have to get the details from her as soon as I get home. It was pretty bland the past few years but recently it has gotten a lot better and the story lines seem to have a lot less lag. I wish there was a bit less talking about what they want and wish and actully action. I guess that is how soaps are but I do have to say, "speed it up a bit".

sorry this is still here. I do not watch this show any more. I gave up on it a year ago. Even if i liked it i do not have time to watch it. Just writing words as I have 60 more to write. Isn't there a way to take down reviews? I mean it is my space correct? I have never been any good at this board thing. Again, sorry this is still here. hey only 25 more words to go. this is going good. Almost done. Yes, really colse to being done. Done, done, done and done! !

Days of our Lives has changed writers like the inmates at a prison change socks. The show has emerged as "trashy" not wholesome as Alice Horton depicts the shows. Is Christmas going to be as trashy as the show has been so far. Get real, even though the Horton's are Catholic, they have good values, not toilet trash as the writers are giving us now. Get back to family values in the afternoon...not this gutter trash the writers are showing us. The FAMILY values are not there, nor is morality. Marriage is a sacred value not trashy as it has been depicted lately. Shame on you writers....grow up and get MORAL values not gutter trash.

I have been watching on and off since 1995. I remember some of the stories from those years. Like the princess Gina story, Eric Brady and his romance with Greta. The actors Kirsten storms and Jason cook first coming on the show as Shawn D and Belle. I will continue to watch this show and see how the vendetta between the bradys and dimeras ends if it even does. The whole Andre/ Tony thing was a story I never saw coming. I hope that Andre gets what's coming to him so that Stefano can go by his word about Sami and EJ being the key to end everything. I love it.

Hello. I am a college student at USC and a big Days of our lives Fan! Well, I was A FAN before Chole and Brady left the show. I was on My Nadia website and saw that she was making a comeback on the show. I also heard that she was going to be involve in the triangle of Belle,Shawn, and Phillp. As many other people may feel the same way that i do................If you going to bring the wife back than bring the Husband also. It would not be the same to have Chole and not Brady!!!! Dont you think so. Eveyone is dying to see them together again. Please think about. Trust your ratings will increase. There are alot of BROE fans out there. Thank you for your time! Melissa

I have been watching it for a long time. Fun memories with my grandma. R.I.P If you like soap operas then give this one a try =) Sometimes it seems like it takes forever for a point but usually we are left wanting more!! LoL I need to come up with 50 more words to describe my favorite show but that is pretty hard. Good show Great actors. Still can't believe its been on for like 65 years. Thats a pretty long time. Thanks everybody who keeps it on the air! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

I, think Days is one of the best soaps ever!!! Been watching for years !! I would convince neices and nephews, to watch it at family gatherings!!!!! I,conviced them it was a good show!!! MY son would visit his grandparents, and they wuld tell how stupid the show made him!!!! Ounce again I, would say " I don't know I, think it makes you smart!!!! Now you and I, both know that is not true!!!!! However I, got my way!!!! I, don't have alot to say but I have loved the show for as long as I, can remember!!! I, still watch it!!!!
