if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Like 99% of everything else on TV this show is garbage.

Of course, they all had their doctors, whether it be Ed Bauer, Steve Hardy or Tom Horton. But for every one of those, there's also a Roger Thorpe, a Luke Spencer or a Stefano Cassadine, oops DiMera. Of course, GH started that trend, but after his brief stint on GH as Tony Cassadine, Thaoo Penghliss became the first of the DiMeras. Before there was the DiMera was wealthy Bob Anderson, basically a decent person, but this was before rich and powerful meant psychotic murderers. The Horton family still is the heart and soul of the show, and while Tom and Alice have joined Steve Hardy, Bert Bauer and Ada Hobson in heaven, their children (with the exception of Addie and Mickey) and grandchildren still are at least mentioned. Maree Cheatham, who scored as the villainous Stefanie Wyatt on "Search For Tomorrow", started her daytime career as sweet Marie Horton, the show's first leading lady, but it was the cool blonde Susan Flannery as Mickey's first wife, who dominated a decade, and between a controversial rape and paternity over son Michael dominated the drama. Brunette Susan Seaforth tured rebellious teen Julie Olsen into a siren, a la Lisa of "As the World Turns" and the soon to be introduced Erica Kane, no soap name necessary. The longest running cast member at nearly 50 years on and off, she is still ravishing, although a bit of a buttinsky and far from grandmother Alice Horton's idea of family matriarch. If that position exists, it belongs to the long suffering Maggie Simmons Horton, married to Mickey for 37 years, minus times when they were both believed to be deceased."Days" has had some great villains, from Linda Patterson as Mickey's secretary/mistress who was one of the first female CEO's on soaps (marrying wealthy Bob Anderson), Emma Donovan (psycho ex-wife back from the dead), rich bitch Angelica Devereaux, the Tracy Quartermain of Salem, and deliciously camp Vivian Alamain. But when actors like Margaret Mason, Jane Elliot, Judith Chapman and Louise Sorel play roles like these women, the audience becomes fascinated by waiting to see what dastardly scheme they will come up with next.For the male villains, there are Broadway veteran Bill Hayes as con artist turned respectable Doug Williams (still on at 90!), Joseph Mascolo as the ultimate rising phoenix, Stefano DiMera, and the hysterically funny John Aniston as acerbic billionaire Victor Kiriakis who won the heart of widowed Maggie Horton and brought her out of a 20 year storyline limbo. The tying in of Victor with salty Irish matriarch Caroline Brady made the mature characters just as important as super couples Roman and Marlena, Bo and Hope, Steve and Kayla and Justin and Adrienne. Some couples or actors get overexposed at the expense of others, and that lead me to change channels after the explosion of Samantha Brady (the "pity poor me" Jan Brady if soaps) and Marlena, a character I initially liked, but not at the expense of Doug and Julie, Mickey and Maggie or Anna and Tony. A recent return of Leann Hunley's delightfully sophisticated and funny Anna Brady DiMera, made me want her all the more. "Days" doesn't always make the right decisions in storyline focus, but when they do, it can be magical.Of course, there were fingers pointed at sweet Carrie Brady and troubled half sister Samantha as the Marsha and Jan of Salem, but Carrie didn't remain on as a core character much like the over exposed Samantha whose neuroses and demands for attention really grated on my nerves. Sometimes the writing doesn't show the full picture of these character's souls, but the fans of "Days" over the past 35 years since the introduction of Bo and Hope have been loyal to the number of super couples they've turned out. Even "The Nanny" got to make fun of former "Days" actor Charles Shaugnessy who went onto primetime stardom in that sitcom and even mentioned that as a Broadway producer, he had once auditioned the actor who played Shane Donovan. Like "All My Children", the comic cult of the show can be over the top sometimes, but for the most part, at least the show has managed to keep much of its focus on family and characters who are tied in with stories dating back to the 1960's.

What's up with the orange faces? Who is this makeup artist. I have loved the show for 40 years and just don't get the makeup these days, it's horrible. How can the producers and directors not notice this, I only see it on this show and not on any others that I watch. Almost makes me not want to watch it. Please fix the makeup or change whoever is doing it because they are not doing a good job at all. Also, so sad to see that so many characters are getting killed off. I suppose it makes for good story lines, but it's bad when a show kills off so many good actors in such a short time. I am happy to see some of the old characters back though.

Well the Gays Of Our Lives experiment is over. On March 31, 2015, the powers that be here at Days decided to disgust all their loyal fans by staging a faux wedding between two male perverts. Like this could ever be a story line. You cannot mix a hetro soap opera with homos. The two mix just like oil and water. You must have two separate casts for your story lines. I mean, it is not like Brucie is going to be hitting on all the hot chicks in Salem. Days put 3 homos on the payroll and tried to make a story out of it. How much drama can you have with 3 people? Any way, starting a couple of weeks ago they ran the last of the sodomites out of town, so Salem is back to being an all hetro community again, and all their long time loyal fans can get back to enjoying the soap opera once again. Thanks NBC for listening to all your loyal fans and dropping this perverted story line.
