‘DAYS’ Stars Reflect on 48 Years of Sands Through the Hourglass

When Ted Corday and Betty Corday watched “Days of our Lives’” NBC debut on November 8, 1965, they couldn’t have known that the soap opera they created would garner so much success. Now, 48 years later, the show not only is coming off of an Outstanding Drama Series win from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, it’s comprised of a talented and close-knit cast who all have very special memories regarding their time with the popular show. Soap Opera Network spoke with a few said castmembers, and in celebration of the show’s 48th anniversary, they were all too happy to share some of their favorite moments from the early days and beyond!

“There are a lot of behind-the-scenes moments that have been unforgettable. It’s hard to go somewhere every day 20 years of your life and not have so many memories. We’re all family. And we have good days, and we have bad days. There have been days where people have lost it, which I love to hear and see, because it just shows they’re human. But for the most part, everything that happens there is kind of like clockwork. We go in, do our job, everyone is professional. It’s a great place to go to every day.”
