"So are the days... of our lives."

With that phrase I'm instantly eight again. I'm laying on the couch sick (wasn't unusual for me, I had allergic bronchitis and missed plenty of school) mom has brought me some tomato soup and now we're both kicking back for my mother's favorite addiction; the trials and tribulations of the Horton and Brady clans on Days of Our Lives.

Fast forward thirty years, and although some of the characters are new, for the most part nothing has changed. Roma Brady is still a cop (after a stint with kidnapping, amnesia and the like) Marlena still needs rescuing - and their kids are picking up with the action packed storyline. But who has time to watch the whole episode, an hour a day five days a week? Not me - condense it down so I get the good parts!

Enter the Days of our Lives updates page. Each day a quick synopsis is posted (and yes, they offer an RSS feed if you're a tech savvy sort) so you can figure out which villain is menacing which Brady - very useful. You can also get a more detailed overview if you prefer, just click the 'Read More' link.

Well, I'm off to check on Sami - hope Lucas is the baby's father!
