Welcome to an unparalleled peek into Days of Our Lives-a favorite daytime drama that has not only become an important part of American Pop Culture, but is also loved by millions of fans around the world!

"Days of our Lives hasn¹t just been in our homes for 50 years. It¹s also in our DNA, packing a power and punch that is incomparable in the daytime drama landscape. This beloved show is famous for its epic twists and crazy turns: Premature burial! Biblical plagues! Demonic possession! But this is not what keeps us loyally devoted and coming back, year in, year out. We return for the love ­ love of romance, love of friendship, love of family. When we make our daily trip to sleepy little Salem to visit with the Brady and Horton and Kiriakis clans, and even those impossible, badass DiMeras, we feel a marvelous sense of bliss and comfort and connection. This show is so much more than entertainment. It makes us feel like we¹ve come home." Michael Logan, TV Guide Magazine

"Playing the beloved character Marlena Evans on Days of our Lives has been the highlight of my career. She is a revolutionary character... a strong, independent, successful career woman who believes her role as both a wife and a mother come first. Over the years she has become the ultimate heroine and continues to be an inspiration to women of all ages around the world." Deidre Hall, MARLENA EVANS, Days of our Lives

Title: Great for a Day’s fan!!
Review: My teenage daughter loves flipping through pages of books especially ones with pictures. She has been so into watching my soap opera with me I thought she’d like this. She loves it. She flips though it frequently and I think she’s starting to know the history of the characters better than me. lol There are a lot of really nice colorful pictures. It’s a great gift for a Day’s of our Lives fan.

Title: DAYS 50
Review: Since the age of six I've been a life long soap opera watcher. Just like many who started it was passed to me from the women in my family as we watched the CBS soaps. Once I got older developed my own taste and that's when I found Days at the age of thirteen in the summer 1997. I was instantly hooked by the soap's storytelling and its shining stars and hellcat, schemer characters in Alison Sweeney's Samantha Gene Brady and Eileen Davidson's protrayal of Kristen Blake Dimera and her multiple personalities and beautiful romantic heroines Hope Williams Brady played Kristian Alfonso and Marlena Evans by the one and only Deidre Hall! Once I became a fan of the show there was no turning back. I had to read the history and started watching all the older storylines on social media get to know these colorful characters.'Days of our Lives 50 Years' chronicles history of Salemites first family The Hortons led by Tom and Alice Horton. The blue collar, tight knit Bradys. The organized crime families in The Dimeras and Kiriakies clans to name a few. Your also taken down memory lane with the best adventures, supercouples, storylines, heartbreaking moments, and wedding interruptions. The coffee table book has beautiful photographs from black and white to colored pictures with quotes from those who help create the magic behind the scenes and the actors who bring the characters to life on screen.The book is an excellent get for any old and new Days fan whether you're getting it for yourself or as a gift for someone. It's without a doubt a worthy purchase and one can recapture the magic anytime they want.

Title: Fantastic Photos
Review: This excellent coffee table style photo book gives a visual history of Days of Our Lives from its first 50 years. There are brief descriptions of some its more popular storylines like Marlena's possession, the Salem Stalker, and the CT Scanner song and dance fundraiser.Past cast members like Gloria Loring (Liz Chandler) are features along with newer cast members.One of the last photos is almost an inside joke to viewers who remember a hilarious episode. The photo features the gorgeous Horton women eating Alice's famous donuts in the living room. There is a sappy quote from Julie on love, tradition, and memories. Across the page is a photo of JJ headed up the stairs with a platter of donuts turned slyly to the camera. In this episode, he made donuts with marijuana and it got switched! Julie, Maggie, Hope, Jennifer, and all the rest got stoned out of their minds while JJ and his teenage friends felt nothing with the regular donuts. There is not a description of that in the book, but it's a nice wink to the fans that are current daily viewers.Looking at the old photos makes me want to watch old episodes. I wish they would put out DVDs with episodes centered on certain storylines, like the Salem Slasher, or super couples like Roman & Marlena, or greatest episodes of the 1990s. That would be a perfect way to enjoy the Days of Our Lives!

Title: Beautiful pictures book, not storylines
Review: I purchased the 30 year anniversary book and it had a history of the storylines for each year. I purchased this book hoping to read the history for years 30-50. I missed much of this period due to work commitments. This book is more of a picture book instead of storylines.
