Days of Our Lives Review Summary

Reviewers have mixed emotions when it comes to the long time soap opera, Days of Our Lives. Revolving around characters in the Brady and Horton families that live in the "quaint town of Salem," this soap opera has kept people entertained for many years. Some report that they've been following the show for years, watching every chance they had, yet other fans have become disillusioned with the recent focus of the show, stating "Marlena becoming possessed by the devil and all the fairy tale make believe stuff they had completely turned me off." Days of Our Lives has even become a discussion topic between families, and while some still watch together, others are still feeling "the plot has really gotten weak." Alison Sweeney pulls double duty working here as Sami and also playing host on The Biggest Loser, and even she is a topic of discussion with some fans not liking that she isn't a bad girl anymore. All reviewers agree the storylines "range from crazy, unrealistic stories to very serious and relatable issues." They just can't decide amongst them whether that's a good thing or bad thing.

Days of our Lives..... I love this show. I watch it everyday. They do drag out the story lines sometimes too long though. I do wish they would bring some of the old characters back also. Like Vivian, Ivan, and Kristen. I am glad that they bought Stefano back. Can they just leave Sami and Lucas be? What... review »

Days of OurLives is one the most well known soap operas on television.Thatsaid, this show is in trouble. DAYS invented the "supercouple", but obviously the shows writers' have forgotten that fact.Soaps are supposed to be about romance, but DAYS is all about murder, outrageous plots by the DiMeras and... review »

I've been watching "Days of Our Lives" for probably fifteen years at least.  I love this show, the plots, the characters and everything.  It's beyond me how they continue to create new story lines and keep it fresh!  I DVR it every day so that I don't miss an episode.  Keep up the good work!!

I have been watching this daytime soap opera for many years, and every year the characters go through a new cycle of drama.  The show revolves around characters in families that live in the quaint town of Salem.  The main families are the Brady's and the Horton's who have suffered through so much drama and tragedy, it is hard to believe that there is more to come.  There are everlasting characters like Bo and Hope Brady who have gone through much to stay together that it is amazing that their love is still alive.  As the drama has aged, we have seen their kids grow up and Sean Brady and Belle...

I have watched Days of Our Lives since I was 12 years old up until the last few years. I even had my whole family hooked on it at one time including my Dad. It used to be a great show back in the days when Kimberly & Shane, Kayla & Steve, John & Marlena, Bo & Hope were the front runners. It was exciting and also somewhat funny at times. But when the whole thing started with Marlena becoming posessed by the devil and all the fairy tale make believe stuff they had completely turned me off from being a life long DAYS fan. I have now been converted to a die hard Y&R fan. The characters seem so much... review »

I love my soaps! I have loved Days since I was 15. Talk about great television. I loved when Marlena was possessed. I was hooked from then on. But lately it has been a hot mess. Sami is my favorite but she is fading. I loved her character when she would do whatever it takes to get her way. Now they have her as the girl who will do whatever it takes to save her family.  Thats not a bad thing at all. But for her to give up Lucus. OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!! I cant believe it. I really was excited to to finally see them together. This EJ thing is so crazy. He is the father of one of the twins..............

There are not words to decribe the crazy love that i have for this show. Between my favorite characters, Sammy and Lucas there is a whole strom a brewing in the story line, and i can't wait for stuff to start happening. I relize that it is a t.v show and not real, but for me its hard to seperate reality from t.v. thats how much i'm sucked into the story. The writers for Days of Our Lives are quit brillant, and they never let me down. The actors pull me in and make me apart of the show, as when i'm down watching, i find my self calling my mother to talk about whats gonna happen and predicting what... review »

Days Of Our Lives  is a favorite soap of mine but I do have to admit it has its ups and downs.  I love the ups and I wait biting my nails for the next episode when one of those great plots are going on....but...then around comes a period of sheer boredom...no problem.  I just wash the soap off and head for my yard.  I come back in a couple of days and if I missed anything, I rewind my DVR.  Ain't life grand?  Sami and Lucas are made for each other but Nicole is plain evil and needs a good ole fashion spanking and some better ethics.  Days Of Our Lives is the only soapy I watch but I do... review »

I have watched this soap since before i could even say soap. Days of our lives has been a part of my family and conversation for so many years. i'm glad to see the return of some of the orginal actors but the plot has really gotten weak. it seems like you can miss a weeks worth of shows and not missed a thing. the whole sami and lucus thing is so sad. they have been apart for long and now they have made thier way to each other only to be torn apart again by ej. what a mistake on nbc's part. why can't they go back to writing the way they did twenty years ago, with a believable, sensible... review »

I have watched Days of Our Lives for 20 years.  It amazes me how the characters have come and gone, but the original cast seems to find it's way back to the show.  It's nice to see them reunited and grow in their characters.  The storylines seem to change enough so that each person is able to have a storyline of his/her own.  They range from crazy, unrealistic stories to very serious and relatable issues.  I will stay with Days until the end!

I have watched Days of our Lives for almost 30 years, and have both loved it and hated it. It is one of those soaps that has WAY too much going on sometimes, and a lot of what's going on is very unbelievable. Classic characters of Bo, Hope, Marlena, Patch, Kayla and all the other Brady's and Horton's make this show what it is.

I Love Days of Our Lives at the moment especially the EJ getting both Nicole and Sami pregnant. I am loving EJ and Nicole as a couple. I have always been a fan of Sami and Lucas together. I hope they get back together. Chloe just needs to find a new man and let Lucas go back to his true love. So what does everyone think?
