Days of Our Lives, which is often shortened to DOOL, is an American soap opera that you can stream on the Peacock service. Since its first airing on NBC on November 8, 1965, this soap opera has been on almost every weekday, making it one of the longest-running scripted TV shows in the world.
Ted and Betty Corday, who are husband and wife, came up with the idea for the show, which was made by Corday Productions and Sony Pictures Television.
During the first few years of Days of Our Lives, Irna Phillips, who also created As the World Turns and Guiding Light, worked as the show’s story editor. William J. Bell, who created The Young and the Restless for CBS in 1973, wrote many of the show’s early storylines.
Bell left Days of Our Lives in 1975 to focus full-time on The Young and the Restless. After NBC ended Passions in 2007, Days of Our Lives was the only show on the network that was still running.
After 57 years on the network, NBCUniversal announced on August 3, 2022, that the show would only be shown on its Peacock streaming service starting September 12. This would make NBC the only one of the Big Three networks without a daytime serial.

The show is mostly about the lives of two families, the Bradys and the Hortons. It takes place in an imaginary city in Illinois called Salem.
But the DiMera and Kiriakis families aren’t the only important ones in this area. Matriarch Alice Horton, played by Frances Reid, was a mainstay of the show until her death in 2010. She hadn’t been seen on screen since December 2007.
Suzanne Rogers has been a part of the show since August 1973. This makes her the person who has been in the most American soap operas the longest.
In 2013, John Rogers, who made the show Days of Our Lives, celebrated 40 years on the air. Susan Seaforth Hayes, who is now the second longest-serving performer on the show, is the only cast member who has been on Days of Our Lives for all seven decades. She made her debut in December 1968 as a replacement for the original character Julie Olson.
