If I recall correctly I was nine years old when the Melaswen storyline aired in Finland and even though it was a crazy storyline and stuff, I loved it. A lot of my friends were watching Days at the time and we just loved the show and the storyline... and we were only nine years old kids. I remember having some really great and fun conversations, and speculations about who's the killer. So many good memories... and as I know I'm the only one who's still watching Days! ;)
That's how I had it in 1999, with the Possession (Norway was four years behind, ridiculous). So much fun! And I had nightmares for like two months - I don't regret a thing... and I'm also the only one who still watches... (...well, some things).

They should've had Marlena stand trial instead, and John kidnapping her to prove she was innocent, to find Tony. Instead of everybody being all alive. Except for Jack, who "died" to go undercover ;)

I remember SSK and Melaswen well, and not just because Lumi finally happened during this time (which, trust me, was a life-changing development :wub: ). I was at somewhat of a nadir in my personal life and was on medical leave from school when this s/l ran - which means I was home doing nothing and totally able to watch all of it. As I was struggling to get my shit together and figure my future out, at least I had the antics of this storyline to entertain me. This hilarity plus all the Lumi glory certainly brought some much needed light. Days can sometimes have healing power like that, lol.

And all the JER-esque graphics and "special effects" were an utter campy riot.

Also, people were 9 and 11 when this ran? Sigh.......old age, I feel your interminable wave coming upon me at breakneck speeds. There should be an old lady emoticon somewhere. This one will have to do: :cat:

This is the first storyline I watched almost completely (First thing I remember from watching then is Sami and Belle going to see "Marlena's body" in the morgue...I think...please someone tell me I'm remembering that correctly). I was only 11/12 years old and I was hooked!
You're remembering correctly. They brought her make-up and clothes to be buried in. Even once it hit the ridiculous point, it had some really good scenes here and there.

I agree. The Belle/Sami scenes were good. I loved when they watched Marlena on TV before she "died".

Dear god, I hated that storyline. It was like an awful trainwreck that you couldn't help but watch because of how horrid it was, but hated it the entire time.

This makes me miss JER :(

At the time I was so happy that they were alive (mostly b/c of Jack and Alice) but WOW I hated Melaswen. Didn't help that this was also around the time when Passions starting really tanking. I think writing two shows was just too much.

That said, everything leading up to Melaswen was extremely dramatic & awesome. And I even loved what went on in Salem during Melaswen, including Bonnie/Mickey & their ridiculousness (and Julie!!) and Jate.

The only good thing about that damn island was Stefano's creepy corpse. The rest was bad, bad, bad.

I remember EW did a whole story on JER and how controversial this story. People were outraged that he was killing off all the vets.

Ericole...and Daniel. Fuzzy memories. "I want to see Nicole." Nicole remembers the love pronouncements!

Oh, Hope is sorry about Ciaria ...and Aiden questioning her parenting. Hope goes from apologetic to pissed in one second.

Julie says "Gabi you don't have to lie to me". You still have feelings for Nick.

Elvis is indignant that Abby thinks he may have killed Nick but Abby won't let up. Her logic is frankly pretty good.

I was 9 years old when this story aired. I remember being glued to the screen all that summer and missing school for months until the whole stupid castle thing. I LOVED it. My mom always watched Days and I'll catch an episode if I was bored, but this storyline got me hooked. I'll always have soft spot for it.

Hope takes a big breath and tries to reason with Aiden. Aiden remains angry and says Hope is part of the problem.

YAY! I'm glad Hope's apologetic response changes as soon as Aiden starts blaming her. I'm gonna enjoy these two disagreeing

Oh, Nicole has a pretty blue t-shirt on. AZ looks nice in that color. Poor Nicole is all happy to go see Eric.

Brady is being an asshole at an AA meeting. Even Theresa has been giving him some priceless looks.

Julie is telling Wilson that it wasn't Nick sending those texts.
