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!
