In 2025, Days of Our Lives officially celebrated its 60th anniversary, marking six decades of emotional storytelling, iconic romances, shocking betrayals, and legendary families that shaped daytime television. Since its debut in 1965, the series has become a cultural institution, recognized for its bold creative risks and long-term character arcs that span generations.
Throughout the years, the show has followed major families such as the Hortons, Bradys, Kiriakises, and DiMeras, portraying their struggles, victories, heartbreaks, and unforgettable twists. Love triangles, secret identities, miraculous returns, and moral dilemmas have kept audiences invested for thousands of episodes.
Despite the modern era’s changing media landscape, the anniversary highlighted a rare achievement: a soap opera able to stay relevant, attract new generations, and maintain loyalty from long-time viewers. The milestone served as proof that some stories — like the iconic phrase “like sands through the hourglass” — remain timeless.
