November 8 marked 43 years of Days of Our Lives on our screens. I know lately we have been less than satisfied at what the show has had to offer, but to celebrate the rich history of the show, I felt the need to take a trip back down memory lane. Soaps have that effect on people. You get carried away to a place filled with fantasy and nostalgia - after all this is where it all began soaps. We hope one day our favourite shows will return to the landmark it once used to be. Big Sigh.
There are so many characters in this clip, too many to mention, but it's actually worth the 9 or so minutes. The scary thing about this, at the halfway mark, you actually begin to think of your age. I know I did anyway - a frightful experience. Ok, so I've just turned 30, but why in God's name can I remember things like Kimberly giving birth to Andrew in a stable just like it was yesterday. See, that's nostalgia for you. READ MORE
This is all probably too good for words but I stumbled across this video which I thought I would share. Seeing as soaps today tend to struggle with the 'supercouple' factor, I got my hands on this video which I thought would use as a Days of Our Lives flashback.
Matthew Ashford and Melissa Reeves star as Jack Deveraux and Jennifer Rose Horton in a lookback at some of their memorable moments on the show. So many to highlight, but each and every scene here brings back the magic and relives what daytime's supercouples used to be like. To help push this video along, Beth Nielsen Chapman belts out her Jack and Jennifer theme "All I Have" and inturn brings to life the talent of some former Days of Our Lives stars.
Poor Matt Ashford (ex-Jack, Days of Our Lives). First his leading lady Missy Reeves (ex-Jennifer) decided to pack up her real life family with former Young and the Restless heartthrob Scott Reeves (ex-Ryan) and move to Nashville. Then Jack's daughter and last immediate family link in Salem, Abby, decided to skip town when her portrayer Ashley Benson opted to leave for greener pastures and highly-debated fashion choices. I liked the dress by the way!
I say it's time the Family Deveraux returned home to Salem and I believe I've found two perfect blonde soap dreams to fill the popular roles of Jennifer and Abby Deveraux in multi-soap vet Jensen Buchanan and former Guiding Light ingenue Stephanie Gatschet (ex-Tammy).
Buchanan, most popular for her roles as Sarah Buchanan on One Life to Live and Vicky and Marley Hudson on Another World, would fit in great in Salem as mega heroine Jennifer Horton Deveraux. READ MORE
