Okay, I know there's a forum for clips, but as often as it's mentioned (not in a positive way, either), I thought it deserved a spot for discussion right here.

Many times, people refer to the "Garden of Eden" storyline on Days of Our Lives as the worst story in daytime history on any soap. Those who missed it are probably wondering why. Those who saw it are probably still trying to forget.

However, I just stumbled upon this AMAZING gem and simply had to share it, LoL.

LMAO!!!!!!!!!! Oh goodness gracious, I remember having to stop watching for that period. The ONLY good thing about it is the view we get of Austin Peck.

Wow. Thanks for that.

Really puts things in perspective, that does. Though I'll always maintain that the stupid neverending kidnapping crap was worse than the Garden of Eden.

It DOES put things into perspective. People can bicker and argue over LUMI/EJAMI or whatever else, but nobody will ever convince me that Hogan's "Days of Our Lives" isn't 1,000 better than anything ever written by Tom Langan or JER (round 2).

At least Days is a real soap now, rather than a cartoon.

Oh- I meant that seriously about putting it into perspective. Poor brain was stunned by that orphan stuff, and it came out sarcastic.

But yeah, the feud doesn't seem so bad now. At least it's watchable. And nobody's wary of a puppy.

And, lord, The Garden of Eden crap was around the time I gave up on Days. I still don't know why the show went this far, its just embarrassing.

yes i did, omg i so freaken complained about it, IT WAS DR ALEX NORTH. URGGGG i hated that storyline, i cant believe i got the entire story on tape. But i can watch garden of eden or any other story since 1994, i got every episode on tape.

i love mostly every story except dr alex north, roman and marlena being held captive int he castle, john addicted to painkillers. thats pretty much all the storys i hate and i did hate the aftermath of tropical temptation(the island), when shawn told everyone that he was the father of jan's baby, but she was raped by paul mendez and when she had that miscarrage, she blamed belle for pushing her down the stairs i believe, yea she blamed belle for pushing her down the stairs, i have to rewatch that story.

I thought Alex North was okay....JER had some good ideas with it, but there were just way too many instances where Marlena would break free of his control and he'd hypnotize her all over again. Still love you, though, JER! lol.

In regards to the Jan story you've mentioned, that's definately one of my favorites of all time. TEAM JAN! (Population: 1) :lol:

Thank heavens for my selective memory. I don't know what was worse, the s/l or the acting. And I did/do like Greta (crap, what's her real name).

The Alex North story was so awful for me it made me want to gauge my eyes out, but I still can't ever hate JER because he gave me so many other things I DID and DO like.

The ONLY reason I even fathomed the Dr. Alex North storyline was because of Wayne Northrop.

And OMG. I too stopped watching during the Garden of Eden story. That was the most ridiculous, insipid and drawn-out story.

What bugged me about Langan was he had some decent ideas but then it was either dropped, became SO convoluted, ridiculous, outrageous and meandered until it ended.
