Days of Our Lives Sneak Peek: EJ is Suspicious


Check out this sneak peek at this week's Days of Our Lives. It seems EJ (James Scott) is suspicious of Stefano (Joe Mascolo) and wants to know why his father and Nicole (Arianne Zucker) are as thick as thieves.

Summer "Days" Promo

Days of Our Lives' really letting fans know that they are still in the soap game with this promo for the summer. How cute is the little guy playing Theo? This may change my tune about the show....

DAYS Video Preview

Coming up on Days of Our Lives (May 11 - 15)... retaliation!  Philip (Jay Kenneth Johnson) lords it over an unconscious, kidnapped Stefano (Joseph Mascolo), but is he keeping a close enough eye on his sweetheart Stephanie (Shelley Hennig)? Revealing his face entirely for the first time, DiMera-goon-disguised-as-Kiriakis-gardener-Owen (Wes Ramsay) kidnaps Stephanie and shuts her in the morgue!

Are you enjoying Philip and Stephanie as a couple?

Who Is More Lethal?: Victor Kiriakis or Stefano DiMera


I don't know about you all, but I'm loving having so many Days of Our Lives scenes with Victor (John Aniston) versus Stefano DiMera (Joseph Mascolo).  These two are each so lethal in their own right, I can't help but wonder which of these two titans, pardon the pun, would win in a fight to the death. Would it be Victor or Stefano?

Who do you think would win in a fight to the death?

On this week's NBC Days Video Preview... Two houses, each alike in dignity... No, it's not exactly Romeo and Juliet but in this promo, Philip (Jay Kenneth Johnson) has been shot and the automatic suspects are the DiMera's.  It's time for a Kiriakis/DiMera showdown!

Who would you rather see triumph?

Days of Our Lives, The Enjoyment Factor


As I write this I’m battening down the hatches and looking for a shovel to dig myself an underground bunker, because I have a sneaking suspicion that I’m going to be the voice of unpopular opinion. Let me explain.

When deciding which soaps I enjoy most or discover I'm most interested in watching on my DVR when I get home, I look at two things, quality (writing and acting) and enjoyment. These two can be in the same, or entirely different. The Young and the Restless and One Life to Live fall under the “quality” umbrella. I enjoy them because the writing is on fire and the acting is superb. On the other hand, I can enjoy some soaps at a gut level even though they may not have as good of writing or as strong acting. Call it “the show I like, but no one else seems to” factor. This is how I feel about Days of Our Lives.

On this week’s CBS and Days of Our Lives podcast episode (which should air on Thursday) I reveal that Days of Our Lives is currently my third favorite soap, even beating out the drastically improved Guiding Light and my version of As the World Turns. This is something I have refused to admit, even to myself, for some time. If I did, might it mean I’ve succumbed to Dena Higley’s evil charms? READ MORE
