So what’s the secret to Days of Our Corday, Days of Our Lives began as a thirty minute Live’s success? Most fans will tell you it’s all about medical drama focusing on the Horton family. Set in the fictional American town of Salem, early critics praised the show for its portrayal of real, contempo- rary family life. But other than issues like love, mar- riage and divorce, it didn’t take long before Days was dubbed one of the most “daring” shows on televi- sion for tackling other, more taboo issues at the time, like artificial insemination, interracial romance and rape. In fact, the rape of Laura Horton by her broth- er-in-law Bill and all the fallout that ensued was a central storyline from 1968-1975.

In fact, the rape of Laura Horton (Top Right) by her brother-in-law Bill was a central storyline from 1968-1975. By 1975, Days bumped up to a one hour dra- ma as it remains today. New core families like the DiMeras and Bradys were introduced, thickening plot lines and allowing for a whole new cast of co- lourful characters. ICONIC CHARACTERS In the 1990’s, Days continued its steep upward trajectory in ratings when a revamp of sets and the arrival of characters like Sami Brady (Allison Sweeney), Vivian Almain (Louise Sorel) and Kate Roberts (Lauren Koslow) sent the drama into over- drive. Sweeney, much to fans dismay, left the show late last year, but Sami Brady remains one of the Days’ most iconic characters. Over the past 50 years, these characters have been through just about every- thing, demonic possession included! But twisted plot lines aside, the past 50 years haven’t been without their speed bumps either.
