In a women’s genre there is too many male egos running these remaining four soaps. Genie Francis shouldn’t give GH the time of a day ever again. This is the second time since I been following soaps this mistreatment has happened to her. ABC and TPTB behind the scenes should be ashamed of themselves (especially in the wake of the Time’s Up era) throwing away a pop culture icon away like Genie like she’s trash is unacceptable.

My hope, Greg Meng at Days gives her a call in a few days and ask if she wants to reprise her role as Diana. Give her a meaty story and make GH regret ever giving her the shaft!

A Very DOOL Mother's Day...

As you know, Days of our Lives is celebrating 45 years on television. We at Days of our Lives are happy that you welcomed us into your living rooms year after year. We know that generations of fans have watched their favorite cast members and stories unfold in Salem. To that end, we'd like to hear your story! In the spirit of Mother's Day, let us know just how long you've been watching the show and how you got started. Whether it be from your mother, grandmother, aunt, etc. Tell us your emotional/funny/weird stories.

Here are the details of the contest:

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

-Create a video of yourself telling us the story of how you started watching Days of our Lives. You can have your mother or grandmother, etc. appear in the video with you or tell your story solo. We just want to hear who got you started and if you've gotten anyone close to you hooked.

-Upload the video to YouTube.com.

-Post the link to your video on our Facebook wall.

RULES

-Videos cannot be posted on our wall more than once.

-The video with the most 'likes' on our page will be the winner of the contest and receive the Days of our Lives prize package.

-You may link to our Facebook page and encourage your friends to come like the video, they will have to 'like' the page to be able to 'like' your video though.

-Please keep videos under 4 minutes.

-No profanity, nudity, other 'ity's please.

PRIZE PACKAGE

-'Days of our Lives 45 Years: A Celebration in Photos' by Greg Meng & Eddie Campbell

Our Facebook page is at http://facebook.com/daysofourlives45

The deadline for this contest is Mother's Day, May 8th.

UPDATE:

We've received a lack of video submissions for this contest (read: none) so we're opening it up to fan photos.

So the rules above still apply but now fan photos are eligible to win too. Simply post your fan photo (a photo with you and a Days of our Lives cast member) on our Facebook wall and the video OR photo that gets the most likes will win the prize package. The most likes wins, regardless of whether its a photo or a video (videos take a bit more effort and people relate to stories, so your odds might be better with a video).

The fan photo has to be a real photo with you and a cast member so if you're great at Photoshop, that's neat but it won't win you this contest.

Here's what you could win:
