From what I have seen of soaps, barely anything happens in any specific episode. My sister used to watch something called Passions I think. It was a supernatural soap opera. There was this one character that was supposed to be a Dwarf or something. My sister had it on everyday one week. I would be in the room sometimes while it was on, and all week the Dwarf was being menaced by a crocodile. On Friday, it was still going on, like only a few minutes had passed

Yeah, soap plots move at a glacial pace, and they have so much exposition, its almost as if the writers think the audience have the memory of a goldfish. I remember passions, there was a witch named Tabitha, and she had a talking doll named Timothy(played by a child like dwarf). As for days(I dont watch it it much these days), Satan has been possessing various characters, seems like hes in a new one every time I tune in.

Passions

They once made a big deal for about two weeks that something was hidden inside of a shed. We never got to see what was in it.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

The overarching plot of Days revolves around the Brady, and DiMera families. Apparently, there was a feud between the families in the old country(Ireland, I think?). The Bradys are working class stiffs, good guys, and the DiMeras(evil) are rich, and run some kind of company,(Im not sure what they do, fashion, maybe?) As for characters, soaps have big casts, and characters periodically go on hiatus, meaning that they arent on the show for a while. And yes, sometimes an actor leaves the show, and a new person takes over the character. When a new actor appears for the first time a voice says, the character X is now played by Y.

It's a massively on-going plot in the sense that most of the main characters are descendants of the original characters from the 60s. It has never been rebooted as a show, and they do replace actors.

Another thing. Child characters tend to age in spurts, meaning, they are babies, then suddenly they are adolescent age, then teenaged, and finally, 20 something adults.

Silly soap but the plots were so outragous that it was interesting to watch.

I've heard that soaps are an ideal project for an up and coming actor to get into, because they last for a long time and they're a steady paycheck. Acting tends to be a vocation where you're between jobs a lot, so something like Days of our Lives or any number of cheap television fill-in shows are a godsend because it's a steady paycheck in a volatile market.

Sometimes you wanna go out and be the leading man, other times you find your calling and enjoy both job security and a consistent income.

That was my first episode. Carlys funeral. But she was still alive. Vivian Allamain had her drugged to appear dead, buried alive with stuff that keeps her alive and a radio ao she could talk her her. When she was rescued she had lost her memory I think and left the show, I think she returned years later for awhile.

100% what I was going to say, an ex watched Days of our Lives, and in a full week of episodes, about 10 minutes of story progress is made. It's drawn out and stretched ridiculously, I don't understand how it holds anyone's attention.

My favorite plot from Days is when a spaceship crash landed with two amnesiac teenagers aboard. Turns out, Stephano DiMeras evil scientist henchman Rolf had Marlena Evans impregnated, and when she gave birth, he erased her memory, and put the babies in stasis, and placed them in a satellite he put in orbit. Another time, someone started killing off characters left and right. More than half the cast was killed off when they figured out that Marlena was the killer. But, they werent dead, of course, Stephano kidnapped almost two thirds of the cast for reasons I dont remember.

The best part is you would have an episode about Thanksgiving where the events last three weeks and then the next day in the show is Christmas! A year in soap time is like 20ish days of a real year. Which is especially funny as to what has preciously been mentioned where kids jump from newborns to 10 to teens to adults in a short period of time.

I also loved the Kristen/Penelope storyline.

The actress for Kristen ended up playing like 4 characters at the same time. And playing them like Kristen pretending to be Penelope and other way around etc.

Also remember when Austin and Princess Greta got stuck inside some virtual reality thing?

I used to watch Passions .. good stuff. Eventually it was cancelled by NBC but picked up on by some random TV station that wasn't basic cable so I never finished the final season or two that was on that.

My Mom watched Days so I got into it as well for a few years. I remember the storyline where Marlena was possessed was when I started. Big fan of Stefano.

LOL, I remember that. When they figured it out, and pulled out the tooth, it had like half a dozen 4 inch wires coming out of the root.

I was watching when it was Vivian in the coffin. Eventually it got too maddening to see the show put up Rafe (corrupt cop) and Sami (kidnapper of her biological child) as the good guys. But I did get to see the final return of Aileen Sorkin as Calliope. I was like "That sounds like Harley Quinn." And yep, that's Harley Quinn.

Stephano, and to a lesser extent, his "evil scientist" henchman Rolf was the main reason I got into Days back in the 90's.
