SO are the Days of Our Lives?!
Like sands through the hourglass... SO are the Days of Our Lives?! Join Olivia - a fairly new superfan of the long running soap opera Days of Our Lives - as she explores why this campy, dramatic, convoluted series has taken a hold of her psyche. Each week, she'll break down an episode with a guest who is not a regular Days of Our Lives watcher so that she can share her knowledge and introduce new friends to the show. Hold onto your hourglasses, because if you thought keeping up with the Kardashians was hard, try keeping up with the shenanigans of the citizens of Salem!
SO are the Days of Our Lives?!
11 - Harper & the Bearded Whisperer (Season 59 Episode 111)
It's the final SATDOOL episode of 2024, and Olivia's last episode from Season 59! Yes, it's true, she's finally acknowledging the fact that she's never going to get caught up if she tries to watch every episode, so she's jumping into Season 60 in the new year and embracing how confused she might be for a while. But first! The incredibly funny Madeleine Rowe joins Olivia to break down Season 59, Episode 111. It's Salem-After-Dark, if a vague, non-linear stretch of time between 8 pm and 6 am qualifies as "after dark."
In this episode, Marlena & Steve are worried about John's erratic behavior as Constantin stirs up memories of The Pawn, Harris sneaks Lucas out of prison Annie-style, Everett (aka the Bearded Whisperer) respects Stephanie's boundaries by demanding she change them, then crosses the literal boundary of the middle of the bed in an extreme way, and Theresa & Alex unwind from a stressful day the tried and true way - with a game of Truth or Dare!
