Book Description

October 17, 1996

For three decades, Salem has been a second home to millions of devotees of Days of Our Lives, one of the most popular daytime dramas ever aired on television. Here, at last, is a richly detailed, lavishly illustrated appreciation of the beloved show, prepared in full cooperation with its producers. Days of Our Lives: The Complete Family Album traces the intricate life-paths of the many characters who have inhabited Salem and chronicles the show's many innovations, from the first episode of any soap opera to appear in color to the first exorcism of the Devil on daytime TV. Here is a commemorative collection of memories, facts and images that every Days fan will treasure always.

Days of Our Lives: The Complete Family Album includes:

  • A dramatic account of Days' intricate plot line, from the '60s through the '90s
  • Hundreds of photos and video images -- many never seen before -- from the producers' archives
  • Profiles of all the leading characters and the actors who have played them
  • Former cast members' reminiscences of their time in Salem
  • Portraits of Days' most memorable couples, from Tom and Alice Horton to Bo and Hope
  • Rare glimpses of what it's really like on the set and behind the scenes of Days
  • In-depth interviews with executive producer Ken Corday and other backstage talents who have guided Days through its first 30 years

This beautiful keepsake volume gathers together the history, the people and the magic of Days of Our Lives. Anyone who has ever been touched by the magic will cherish this book.



Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

This book celebrating the 30th anniversary of the popular soap opera will please the shows legions of fans. The author has included a history of the show, interviews, biographies, a chronologically ordered cast list, trivia, and more. In the "30 Years of Days of Our Lives" chapter there is a year-by-year history of the storylines. While it can be confusing because of the amount of information in each paragraph, it will fill in the blanks for new viewers and bring back memories for experienced ones. This book is recommended for public libraries and special collections if requested or needed because of like materials in a collection.?Judy Hauser, Oakland Schs., Lib. Svces., Waterford, Mich.

From Booklist

After 30 years, Days of Our Lives remains one of the top-rated soaps. Generations have grown up following the escapades of Laura, Mickey, Alice, Hope, and Bo, and there's something for everybody, young and old, in this "family album." Filled to the brim with photos, the volume also goes into quite a bit of detail on the story lines, allowing recently hooked viewers to figure out just who Hope's mother really was, while longtime Days watchers can relive those halcyon days when Doug and Julie were daytime's Super Couple. Interviews and backstage tittle-tattle add to the fun. Obviously, this is strictly for past and present fans, but there are plenty of them around to warrant purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recaps from the entire show, May 18, 2000
By 
Rayne "raynebair" (Montgomery, AL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Days of Our Lives: Complete Family Album, The (Paperback)
If you've just started watching Days or have even been watching for years, this book has recaps of all the storylines. Broken down in yearly segments, it covers all the important events that occurred each year from the begining in 1966 to 1996. It even has all the marriages, bad girls, and a complete cast list of everyone who was ever on the show during those 30 years. Color photos bring back great memories or vivid imaginations of the show's history. It's a great way to catch up on what's happening now or to clear up confusion on past plots.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for any DOOL fan, May 5, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Days of Our Lives: Complete Family Album, The (Paperback)
This book really informed me about all the plot lines from the past, in order to understand the present. Along with the synopsis of the plot, it also contained sections recounting all the families, couples and weddings that have touched Salem throughout the years. There were also interviews with Kritian Alfonso, Peter Reckell and Diedra Hall, just to name a few. This book will be a memorable keepsake for any die-hard DOOL fan.
