I have a confession to make. I used to be addicted to soap operas. Of course this was long before I was married with children. I’m talking back when I was a teen and young adult. It was mostly during summer vacations when I was home a lot. I used to tune into a few soap operas. At first it was hard to follow along but once you knew the character backgrounds and plots it was hard not to watch.
These days I don’t have time to watch TV much during the day. I’m also afraid to tune into a soap opera in fear that I’ll get sucked in and I’ll have to tune in every day. Ha! I’ll never get any work done then.
Did you know that one of the most popular soap operas, Days of Our Lives, has been around for 45 years. FORTY FIVE YEARS! Wow! That is some impressive accomplishment. All those years and the soap is still going strong.
I will also remember the show opening with the hour glass and the narrator saying “Like sands through the hour glass, so are the days of our lives…”
Check out this special video promo by NBC for Days of Ours Lives. Even watching the promo I get hooked into the back stories. What happened to that ladies baby? What antidote did the doctor inject herself with? Why was that lady murdered and put inside a coffin? Sheesh! I don’t even watch the soap and already I am curious to see more.
“What began as a dream of my parents’ 45 years ago, has become one of the most beloved shows on television. Days of our Lives is not just a part of my family; it is also part of America’s family.” says Ken Corday, Executive Producer
The NBC’s soap actually celebrated its 45thanniversary on November 8, 2010. The show was created by Ted and Betty Corday in 1965. It originally began as a half-hour drama then expanded to an hour 10 years later.
The show takes place in the fictional Midwestern town called Salem. It chronicles the lives of the Horton, Brady and DiMera families.
In its 45 years, Days of our Lives has garnered numerous Emmy Awards and nominations, as well as multiple Soap Opera Digest and People’s Choice Awards. The show’s success derives from its consistent commitment to excellence in writing and storytelling, supported by a diverse ensemble of performers and an uncanny knack for anticipating viewer interests. With its mix of classic genre traditions and groundbreaking narratives reflecting modern life, Days of our Lives remains a perennial favorite among viewers of all ages.
Make sure to tune in weekdays on NBC to watch the drama unravel.

I don’t watch many of the soaps, but I’d like to win this prize so that I could show off the totebag to those that do watch . Not many people will have one
Katrina says
I have literally been watching days since I was a teen so at least 15 years. I loved the story line of Marlena Possessed. My favorite character was Kristin and I loved when she was playing 5 different characters at the same time…including EJ’s (Elvis) mom. I love love that show. Would love to win!
Lisa says
I’ve been watching Days since I was born, lol. I miss a lot of the old characters like Marlena, Melissa, Steve, Kayla, Jack, Kaliope (sp?)…I know some have come back or do guest spots but it’s not the same when they just visit.
My favorite character I think would have to be Sami. She always messes up, doesn’t always make the wisest choices, but you gotta love the girl.

Janice J says
My favorites are Bo and Hope, I have watched this show for a long time.
tammigirl says
My grandmother and mother watched this show, (and The Doctors – I believe this is a spin-off of The Doctors) when I was little. So I grew up on it and yes, I watched yesterday and I will watch today.
Favorite? I guess Sammi Brady-Hernandez because yes, she got married yesterday! Her character is always in love and in trouble. Yet you root for her because you get why she shot E.J. in the head, you really do. Every bad thing she is forced to do is somehow understandable.
p.s. nobody killed the redhead. Vivian put her in the sarcophagus alive once Vivian herself got out.

My mom has always watched DOOL, and I grew up watching it, too! I always loved the storyline with Marlena/John/Roman and remember when John thought he was Roman and all of that. I haven’t watched it in a while, but still catch it from time to time!

I’m a big fan of the “return from the dead” storyline that has been repeated many times over the years. Some characters, like Stefano have died and returned multiple times.

I watch Days when I was a teenager and about 15 years later I have gotten back to watching it again. I’m hooked and my favorite right now is what has been going on between Sami and E.J. But I remember way back when the posession thing was going on, I cant remember the characters name but her real name is (Deidra Hall). Days hasn’t changed a bit in all these years, gotta love it.
