A slew of Hortons have descended on Salem for the opening of the Dr. Tom Horton Free Clinic, and they have 60 years of stories to share!

The amazing Julia Lennon (who forgot to buckle her seatbelt before getting on this rollercoaster ride) joins this week to break down part of the great DOOL 60th anniversary festivities. Holly & Tate are working on a documentary about the Horton family's contributions to University Hospital, and Marie & Julie give big "women who adopted the Grinch" energy while they reminisce about the convoluted family history.

Meanwhile, Chad's brief hug with Cat has left Thomas hospitalized, and Jennifer is on her high horse & ready to come after Chad. And Mike tries to assure his son Jeremy that the people of Salem will eventually forgive him for his past, but Jeremy's not so sure... and frankly I don't think they should.

It's flashback-palooza this episode, with some amazing classic Horton moments, so BUCKLE YOUR SEATBELTS for goodness sake and come along for the ride!

It's the spookiest night of the year for most folks, but it's business as usual for the citizens of Salem! Alice Marcondes joins Olivia this week to break down Season 61 Episode 45 - Chanel & Johnny are struggling to keep hope alive about their potential adoption, while the baby in question's true biological father is revealed! Cat is a cat, no surprise there, and EJ thinks it's hilarious that he can dress up as himself and be the scariest monster in Salem. 

But is the scariest monster in Salem actually the Jekyll & Hyde elementary school teacher/former trafficker and abuser Jeremy Horton?! And can Stephanie unmask him for the villain he is, or will she be too busy unmasking herself as Anastasia Sands??

And we can't forget the most haunting moment of the episode... the return of Leo's most annoying fellow juror, Adam!

I want to hear about the days of YOUR lives! Have you experienced something that could rival a soap opera plotline? Maybe your therapist got possessed by the devil twice, or you found out you were pregnant with twins who have different fathers, or the patriarch of your family sacrificed himself to save a miracle drug that could cure sepsis. I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU. Email your most dramatic stories to [email protected] and maybe I'll read it aloud (anonymously ofc) on the podcast!

Have you ever met an 18-year-old girl with those two strands of hair framing her face and thought... is she being duplicitous right now? Odds are, the answer is yes.

This week, Ben Tracy joins Olivia to talk Salem's drama from this DOOL episode that aired in early October 2025. Johnny & Chanel are reeling from receiving a "ridiculously risque" picture from Holly of all people, Holly's reeling from surviving a blackout (alcohol-induced), a blackout (electrical failure), and a dorm fire (her fault). Ari's over the drama and is ready to flirt it up with Theo, whose trauma is coming back in a major way upon return to Salem. And speaking of trauma, JJ is questioning whether he has the moral fortitude to police without discriminatory bias. TW: police brutality (this show has range)

And it all wraps up with a shocking twist about the paternity of Salem's most popular baby, Tesoro!

Teen drama is filling the days of our lives! 

In this episode, Cullen Arbaugh joins Olivia to discover the connection between classical Greek theatre and Days of our Lives and dive into all the dramatic goings on of Salem. After secretly giving birth and leaving the baby at the firehouse, Sophia's lies are getting away from her. Meanwhile, Tate's decided he's going to kiss the truth out of her, and Brady tries to convince his son that's not a good strategy. Stay in school, kids.

Everybody wants their time with Tesoro, Salem's most popular orphan! Or at least, they want time with his stroller. Holly's drama with Tate distracts Ari from her innernship application, and Marlena continues to cross personal and professional boundaries while searching for a diagnosis for her mystery illness. Stay tuned til the end for some expertly executed fight choreography!

Alert Lady Whistleblower - we're finally talking Season 61!

The first ever SATDOOL guest, Meredith, returns for this first step into S61, and the episode did not disappoint. Belle Black's life is falling apart, Abe discovers smut in the town square, Paulina's trying to protect the Salem PD from being swindled by Artificial Intelligence, and Stephanie's astutely recommending a two-pronged approach for Titan/DiMera - a classic approach style!

Season 61 seems sure to bring the drama, the turmoil, surprising bedfellows, and incredibly intricate descriptions of ink technology - so get excited!

Jared Ziegler once had a summer fling with Days of our Lives, and now he's tapping back in to see what the folks in Salem were up to in 2025!

In the last episode Olivia will recap from Season 60, Marlena is having troubling dreams & is concerned about her SOUL, Tony takes visitors in the DiMera mansion wearing the mustardiest blazer on planet Earth, Julie's got her "precious" necklace back, and we meet Foster, who has apparently been running the most successful bookstore in America that everyone in Salem is deeply invested in, but we've never heard of it! Naturally!

That only scratches the surface of this episode's shenanigans - listen for more!

Look it up! This podcast will make you laugh! For this episode, Olivia looped back to Season 60 Episode 185, a hilarious episode that we couldn't leave Season 60 without recapping. Her friends Miriam and Adam join to discuss this jam-packed morning in Salem. Love is in the air and pistachio milk is in the vegan-alternative scones. Alex discovers his girlfriends hot romance novel - he apparently reads all night and still doesn't make it through the manuscript, so I'd love to get a page count on One Stormy Night. EJ and Johnny have a blow up in the pub over EJ's shooting, Chad and Cat plan their hospital auction date (one of life's common experiences), and Xander nearly causes his wife Sarah's demise by not recognizing the extremely common signs of anaphylactic shock! But thankfully, secret former firefighter/EMT Javi wanders into the town square and jumps into action!

And sound off in the comments if a coma has changed you as a person or if you or someone you know is a firefighter/EMT!

Monopoly expert Nathan Gutt joins Olivia on SATDOOL this week to recap Days of our Lives Season 60 Episode 216, and he has a lot of thoughts about Horton family game night! And rightfully so...

While the Horton's are making up their own rules of Monopoly, Gabi tries to schmooze Chad back to DiMera Enterprises, EJ and Tony keep it British, and Rita leaves quite an impression on Olivia & Nathan. But most crucially, a mysterious shiny-shoed figure in the dark distracts Cat from her dinner pickup and makes her an offer she can't refuse. Well, actually it's an offer she definitely could have refused if she wanted, but we don't need to get into it again...

It's time to talk International Spy Agency - sorry, sorry - International Security Alliance!  From their first mission in Salem to their slew of corrupt directors, the I.S.A. has had a significant presence in Salem, and has casually recruited two-thirds of its residents to contract as international super spies.

Reach out on social media with your favorite I.S.A. mission or agent, because there are truly 40 years of crime-fighting activities, so we barely scratched the surface!
