Description:

 

"Like sands through the hourglass, so are the Days of our Lives." For over one-third of a century, those words have introduced and underscored one of daytime drama's rare mainstays. NBC's "Days of our Lives," which turned 42 this past November, first premiered as a half-hour drama in 1965 and expanded to an hour 10 years later. Today, it remains a consistent favorite among viewers of daytime television serials. On January 19th NBC announced that Days of Our Lives is unlikely to continue past 2009. 

In its 42 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. From demonic possessions and serial killers to genre traditions such as baby switches, amnesia and classic love triangles, "Days of our Lives" remains a perennial favorite among viewers of all ages.

"Days of our Lives" is set in the fictitious Midwestern town of Salem. The core families are the Hortons and Bradys, and the multi-layered storylines involve elements of romance, adventure, mystery, comedy and drama. Original cast member Frances Reid continues to star as Alice Horton.

"Days of our Lives" is produced by Corday Productions Inc. in association with Sony Pictures Television. Executive producer Ken Corday is following in the tradition of his parents, Betty and Ted Corday, who co-created "Days of our Lives" and helmed the series for many years. Ed Scott is also executive producer. Hogan Sheffer is the headwriter."

I will NEVER watch Days again if John and Marlena are tossed. If this show is doomed it's because of the writers they are GREAT one day, and REALLY DUMB for weeks. No John and Marlena...No me, and Many many of my Days friends

Please don't take Days off the air. I've been watching it ever since I can remember. My Mom watches it too and we often discuss what's happening just like these folks are our extended family. And please, please please do not get rid of my forever favorite characters--Deidre Hall and Drake Hogestyn.

I've watched practically from the beginning. If I can't be home, I watch my recording, and then my Mom and sister I discuss what's happening as if it they were our extended family. Please do not take it off the air, and please reconsider keeping my two forever favorite characters--Deidre Hall and Drake Hogestyn.

I have watched Days since the beginning. I am 63 years young and I would die if I could not see what is going on in Salem every day at 1:00 pm. It is a must in my home. Please do not take this show off!!!!

Been a Dool fan for 25 years the 80's throught the middle 90's were the best years.the plot lines the last 5 years have been horrible.I love the cast past and present but all good things do come to an end and I think continuing with these awful plot lines takes away from the over all legecy of one of the best soaps ever.The hourglass is empty!Thanks for the memories I have a lot classic episodes on video to treasure.Days Fan Forever Rene

I am a big fan of Days of Our lives It is one of my favorite shows on tv.

Please do not take the show off th air. I will really be lost without it. I look forward to this show every week day.

have been a fan of day for years i think it would be a mistake please dont take it off because this is the only soap i watch

I didn't know John was leaving until I read a magazine while in line at the store. If they would get him back to normal the show would be great. That man just isn't John. Please don"t cancel. Just have people act normal and get rid of Staphano. He is so far out in everything he does, I can't imagine why they brought him back. There is enought going on in the soap to keep the weardo's out. My vote is to keep the show on. I'm 68 and have been watching since my kids were babies and I'm about to become a Great Grandma. Thats a long time.

I sure hate3 to see DOOL leave

i have been watching days from the beginning. although some of the plot lines have become foolish, the show is still like an old friend who i would not want to lose

I've been watching Days since the very beginning. It is a part of my life. I look forward to it every day. It is a wonderful show. I don't know what I would do if it were cancelled. I'm sure many, many more people feel the same way. John and Marlena gone -what will happen next? Nothng could possibly replace Days. Please keep the best daytime show on the air.

I am 22 years old, and I have been watching Days since I was in the 5th grade. It's now part of my "me time" during the day and I don't know what I'll do if it cancels! It's a part of a lot of people's lives as well. What on Earth could replace it?! Days is by far one of the best soaps out there, and I don't understand why it has to go!

I can't believe you would consider cancelling this show....I was a fan of Another World years ago but Days is even better. I look forward to the annual tree trimming at Alice's and Tom's each Xmas. Actually Xmas wouldn't be the same without it! Marlena and John along with Caroline Brady are the backbone of the family....to get rid of them would be foolish. I feel a few characters could go i.e. Tony, Anna and perhaps Lexie. You have to keep some of the young actors such as Max, Stephanie, Philip, Chloe to appeal to the youth but you also need the backbone of the show. Perhaps it is time for some new writers.

It's my one break a day. That's the time I stop, get myself a tea and take my break.

I have watched this soap since 1967 and I dont want it to end!!!It's the ONLY soap worth watching.

I have been watching Days of Our Lives since it first began. I will miss it and will not watch daytime TV if you take it off the air. This is not an empty threat, Day's is the only reason I turn the TV on

I am 46 and have watched days since I was in the 6th grade, I am a part-time worker and full time wife and mother and at the end of my work day before husband and kids get home I watch days I record it everyday pleae dont take it off my DAYS OF MY LIFE would be so sad
