#daysofourlives — Public Fediverse posts

This week we're talking about Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, parasocial grief, and why these losses can hit queer, neurodivergent, and fandom people so deeply. We also bring it back to Days and the grief soap fans have carried after losing Drake Hogestyn, Bill Hayes, and John Aniston. If you've been told you're taking it too hard, this one is for you.

We love Paul, but we also love continuity, and Days really asked us to do some heavy lifting with this one. This week we’re talking about Paul’s backstory, John’s impossible 90s timeline, SORAS chaos, and why these retcons can be especially jarring for neurodivergent viewers.

We just dropped an episode of our new Podcast - The Chaotic Soapbox about fanfic, and underneath all the jokes about Jarlena angst, fix-its, AUs, porn with plot, and 90s email chains, we’re also talking about something more specific: the queer and neurodivergent pull of fandom. The way stories become obsession, comfort, craft, identity, and community all at once.

This 2007 portrait of Deidre Hall and Drake Hogestyn in Sydney is pure soap sparkle. He’d just been “let go” from Days, but their smiles? Suspiciously joyful.

Whether it was a stunt or just a sunny detour, Jarlena’s magic never missed a beat.

Happy Tuesday—and two more full days until Showgirl Day 💛

This 1993 issue of Soap Opera Digest gave us Marlena’s paternity chaos, Jed Allan’s legacy, and a cover that screamed “WHAT’S IN? WHAT’S OUT!”

John suspected, Roman brooded, and fans gasped.

Wishing you a dramatic Tuesday and a Showgirl Week full of sparkle, scandal, and soap-worthy joy 💛

This 2005 snapshot of Deidre Hall and Susan Seaforth Hayes is a hug wrapped in history.

Marlena and Julie—two icons who’ve weathered every storm in Salem and still shine.

Wishing you a joyful Monday and a Showgirl Week full of sparkle, storytelling, and Swiftian flair 💛
