And yet, this former soap fan, who honestly thought the glory Days were over, found herself addicted to the tube again, and hasn't missed an episode since. That's right, eight months and counting, and I wear it as a badge of honor.
So over the coming weeks, you'll get VIP access into Salem, and why* Days of Our Lives* has become MUST-SEE TV again. This isn't your mother's painstakingly-slow soap opera anymore. It's a compelling drama that is turning out emotional, addictive story lines that don't take 5 years to play out. The writing is fresh and funny, and the acting is superb. Julia Roberts isn't a fan for nothing.
You're going to see super fun videos brought to you by the hottest stars on the show (just you wait until you see what Patrick Muldoon, Galen Gering, Molly Burnett and Casey Jon Deidrick are up to), but for now, I want to focus on the storyline that, in my opinion, has never been done better--not on primetime, daytime, or in feature films.
It's a story that, yes, we've seen before--a beloved character comes out as gay, but never in such a thoughtful, touching, and honest way. And I don't say that lightly. Sami and Lucas' son,Will, a mainstay on the Salem scene since Sami gave birth to him at 16, has recently revealed his true sexuality--not only to himself, but to his friends, family and fellow Salemites. Beautiful doesn't even begin to describe how poignant the unveiling (and the subsequent back and forth) of Will's sexuality has been. It's raw, it's touching, and most importantly, it's honest to a core.
