Days of our Lives

"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. Days of our Lives, which turned 45 in 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.

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.

Executive producer Ken Corday is following in the tradition of his parents, Betty and Ted Corday, who co-created DOOL and helmed the series for many years.
