Days of Our Lives

Why are all of the main characters leaving the show? This seems to be a"thing" that the writers do every few years when they can't figure out how to move a story line from point A to point B. However, with so many leaving ,ie Gabi and Rafe, Will and Sonny. Now, suddenly Eric decides to go to Africa and we are still wondering if we will actually find Ciara! We have gotten the old new Abby back again, which I think is a good move! But we know that we will soon be loosing Hope. We have no good story lines for the, forgive me, younger set. Ben and Ciara were the Hope and Beau of this generation but .... Chad and Abby are always good together! But without Gabi... Hope without Rafe... All we are left with is A raging John and the long suffering Marlena! Please! The writers need help! Desperately!

I have watched sporadic episodes of DOOL since 1966 - yeah! I'm THAT old....funny thing is, MacDonald Carey was getting-on on even then! Tuned-in perhaps to every four hundred episodes on average (I admit to having a dry spell when ABBA were big - missed every episode from 1972 to 1979) the next time I caught the thing, in a doctor's surgery - while my wife was waiting to have an ultra-sound, it seemed to me nothing had changed. Now call me picky, but any show you can pick-up on having missed way more than 1000 episodes has to be something less than enthralling entertainment.

What IS it's fascination? Who knows? probably different things to different people, but I imagine its core devotees simply get their fix artificially enhancing their own plebeian existences by living through and sharing the fantasy lives of their chosen characters. Not that different really to peering over your neighbor's fence to find something else to talk about to "Doris" across the road! In terms of artistic merit, DOOL doesn't crack the big time. In terms of staying power, yeah, ya gotta admire the thing.

Started watching Days of Our Lives when I was very young. I am 65. I just refuse to go down the whole demon possessed storyline again. When making my decision I realized there is just nothing being written about any of the characters that keeps me interested. Sad to leave, but writers have really dropped the ball.

I started watching days back in 1980 something, when John Black thought he was Roman.My best friend got me into the show and I have been a true fan sense. I will always watch Days, but I have to admit sometimes the show is really bad. It is confusing when actors switch roles for example,Roman used to be Chris and now Dr north is played by the original Roman, whats up with that??Is Lexie the only Dr in Salem?? I miss how the show was in the 80's with the super couples like Bo and Hope ,Kim and Shane and my favorites Patch and Kayla. BRING BACK PATCH

I hope the show starts to get better can't stand the horror and sleazy story lines,

but in spite of that I watch as often as I can and I hope the show will continue I am addicted.

Days of Our Lives is yes, a little silly at times, but i find it addicting. I started watching during Christmas break of my sophomore year and now, a 47 year old woman, i still find the show irresistible. At times the story lines can become a little far-fetched (ex. the Salem Stalker) but that's why i turn the show on everyday. It gives me a break from reality and lets me explore a completely different world. Some may find it a little bit silly, but that makes it all the more exciting. If you want to watch Days of our Lives, I say start now because there's a lot to learn. This show has been running since 1965 and I've loved every minute of it.
