NBC's Days of our Lives, will celebrate its 45th anniversary on November 8, 2009. It first premiered as a half-hour drama in 1965 and expanded to an hour ten years later.

In its lifetime years, Days of our Lives has garnered numerous Emmy Awards, Soap Opera Digest Awards and People's Choice Awards.

From demonic possessions and baby switches to exciting teen stories and love triangles, Days of our Lives remains a perennial favorite among viewers of all ages. Filmed in Burbank, California, Days of our Lives is set in the fictitious midwestern town of Salem.
