Kayla, hey? Well, there really isn't a single worthwhile female role model on Days. They're all whiny little wussies that have to rely on and be rescued by their menfolk. It's Donna or Vicki Love for me, or nobody. Hm. Kayla, hey?

Well, there really isn’t a single worthwhile female role model on Days. They’re all whiny little wussies that have to rely on and be rescued by their menfolk.

It’s Donna or Vicki Love for me, or nobody.

Not AW, too! Because I got hooked on that when I started taping episodes for a friend back in the day when not everyone had a VCR, and I slowly got pulled into the world of the Corys and the Loves. Donna Love was my absolute. favorite. character. ever. She's just as big a jerk on AMC, and I still love her. Now I watch AMC and/or OLTL, both of which have refugees from AW and Days. Well, and all the other soaps, actually. Hubris, you really would be <a href="http://www.yourish.com/2005/10/16/110" rel="nofollow">husband material</a> if only you lived a little closer and were, well, Jewish. Then again, there's always conversion. No way. Not AW, too!

You know, back when it was a sober, <em>extremely realistic</em> drama, not the pale and forced imitation that it is now. Actually, <em>Days</em> and <em>Another World </em>probably formed my earliest perspectives on love and relationships when I was a small child, which probably explains a lot about my later life. On a related note, I'm almost finished with my diorama depicting Shenanigans, the bar featured in <em>Days</em>, complete with 1985-era decor and a slapfight in progress.
