Days of Our Lives

I have been a DOOL watcher since 1980. I do understand that TV soaps are now catering to the new generation of watchers, especially the teens (I too began watching DOOL at age 12...I was captivated with the blossoming romance of the young "Bo & Hope" years).

Unfortunately, the story lines are predictable, non-orignial, and just plain crap now. I've stopped watching DOOL for nearly a year now and just picked it up again. I see that nothing has changes since my absence. They are now repeating stories from the 80s.

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.

I have watched the days of our lives since I was ten years old. I admit that some of the story lines are completely outlandish, like the one about eight years back about Marlena getting possessed by Satan, but for some unknown reason, I cant stop watching this show. The love for this show seems to be an epidemic in my high school as well, among both guys and girls. I never really watched a soap opera before this one, except for Another World. The show's contract with NBC comes under review in 2004. Myself, as well as many other diehard Days fans, are holding their breath praying that they renew it.

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 have watched this excellent soap/serial steadily since 1981 and occasionally before that back to around 1968. It was good before the appearance of Stefano in 1981, but since then has really distinguished itself quite well. The longevity of the characters is terrific! It is sometimes very predictable, sometimes throws you for a loop. It has had extremely outstanding acting through the years. My one wish is that they bring back Kayla & Patch to bring closure to the open ending they were thrust into a few years back. I would even like it more if Patch were teamed with the ORIGINAL Kayla, Catherine Mary Stewart, who was always one of my very favorite actresses!!! Keep on truckin, DOOL.
