A Patch & Kayla montage set to the FULL version of "If Your Heart Comes Out Tonight" What's funny is that the entirety of that montage are things that took place before Steve and Kayla's first kiss (which happens in basically the scene after this montage). Nowadays couples don't have enough for a 30 second montage before their first kiss, let along 3 minutes. The obvious exception being Will and Sonny, which is probably one of the main reasons (other than the fact that they're the show's first gay couple) that they're one of the show's most popular couples now. Yes, Will and Sonny seem to be getting some old school writing. Although I'm not sure they had to wait as long between first kiss/beginning of actual relationship and having sex for the first time (7 months for S&K fans). But, as the song says, the waiting is the hardest part. And, quite frankly, really the best part too.

Yeah -- it took over a year for Will and Sonny to kiss each other after their initial meeting, but there were "only" fifty-five days between their first kiss and the first time that they made love (add thirty-two days to that if you want to count that kiss that Will pulled away from as their first kiss). However, I have a feeling that if it weren't for the pregnancy storyline, the writers would have prolonged the waiting period for a few additional months.

It's definitely not Friends & Lovers (or 'The Change in Me' which was Cruz & Eden's theme on 'Santa Barbara').

"The Border" was perfect and "Watching Over You" was pretty good for the angstier times. But somehow they didn't make it for the long haul.

Well, now that can be cleared up. In an article posted on SON, a summary states that the reason Rebecca wanted to be a surrogate was because, before she came to Salem, her HUSBAND and CHILD, died in a car accident! This makes me wonder if North was actually her maiden name or was just her first husband's surname, like Amanda Howard. And it is quite odd that Rebecca, Don and Maggie all have car accidents claiming the lives of loved ones as their back-story. Edited by Bright Eyes, Jan 31 2013, 10:04 PM.

I heard it used on another show a while ago, and I kept getting little flashes of a soap opera couple. It could have been Another World or Santa Barbara, too, but I didn't watch those as obsessively and repeatedly as Days. It would have been in the late 80s, I think. Here's a link to the song: YouTube - Takes My Breath Away Any ideas?

The stories don't interest me as much as the stories of the 90's but the writing for the couples was top notch back then.

Yes, we're watching episodes from 2009!,lol. Wiping some of the blood and her fingerprints off the knife, grabbing some papers from a drawer, getting her luggage and leaves. Next we saw of her was in a plane in a diva-disguise telling a fellow passenger that she's going home to Salem. What a shocking scene to be re-introduced to longtime fans- and new fans that don't know/knew of her. Edited by Chabby, Feb 22 2013, 03:48 AM.

Looks like the Dutch are 851 episodes behind the US!

I hope you enjoyed that scene, because they're going to flash back to it approximately 90 more times before the story is over.

It's just so perfect, and Deidre and Drake both did such a beautiful job. They both sort of just got lost in the moment, and they both were so perfectly on point with the little looks and touches during the ceremony, and especially John ("Roman") kissing Marlena as she arrived at his side, before the priest started talking. And then the song, which is perfectly J&M, and the most beautiful, touching vows.

I'm not sure it was 100% thorough but it was pretty extensive.
