I have watched Days since its inception in 1967. I was in college at the time. After retiring from 32 years of teaching, I still keep up with the characters. I like that there are 3 to 4 story lines weaving in and out all the time. This is the longest video book I have ever seen. Its good that I like to do 2 or more things at a time so my own life can happen at the same time as Days. "Sami" came to my home town last fall and I saw her at the wellness center here. She is very petit and pretty in person. She is truly a very good actress in her part.
