Trivia:

In 1991 Deidre Hall (Marlena Evans Black) was lured back to Days of Our Lives with the promise that she could serve as executive producer of a DAYS spin-off called "Manhattan Lives". Initial hopes were to begin airing in 1994 if Another World wasn't renewed. In the end "Another World" (1964) was renewed and the spin-off never came to be.

Quotes:

[Brady overhears Chloe's request to go to Juliard]
Chloe: Nobody puts down my singing, I have a great voice and everyone thinks so!
Brady: Yeah! Who thinks so? Mommy and Daddy is that who?
Craig: There are a lot of things you don't know about Chloe.
Brady: Yeah well, I know that when she sings she has zero emotion. Yeah, she can hit the notes fine, but her interpretation sucks!
Chloe: YEAH! Well interpret this!
[threatens to pour ice water on him]

Soundtrack:

Days of Our Lives

A bizarre and yet highly addictive program.

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.
