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. NBC's "Days of our Lives," which will turn 44 in
November 2009, 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. In its nearly
44 years, "Days of our Lives" has garnered numerous Emmy Awards and
nominations, as well as multiple Soap Opera Digest and People's
Choice Awards. The show's success derives from its consistent
commitment to excellence in writing and storytelling - supported by
a diverse ensemble of performers - and an uncanny knack for
anticipating viewer interests. With its mix of classic genre
traditions and groundbreaking narratives reflecting modern life,
"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 Bradys, the Hortons, and
the DiMeras, and the multi-layered storylines involve elements of
romance, adventure, mystery, comedy and drama. Original cast member
Frances Reid continues to star as Alice Horton. "Days of our Lives"
is produced by Corday Productions Inc. in association with Sony
Pictures Television. Executive producer Ken Corday is following in
the tradition of his parents, Betty and Ted Corday, who co-created
"Days of our Lives" and helmed the series for many years. Gary
Tomlin is also executive producer. Dena Higley is the head writer
and Christopher Whitesell is co-head writer.
