It's been nearly two weeks since Days of our Lives fans were left to wonder what happened when a series of explosions rocked Salem. On August 13, viewers will be reunited with their favorite Salem residents -- and hopefully it won't be for the last time.

If you've been going through DAYS withdrawal -- we can help. Our Two Scoops columnists have been busy with special Olympic-inspired columns that choose the best summer storylines of all time. If you need a refresher on what's happened recently on DAYS, or if you're a viewer who is returning to the show because of the exciting DAYSaster storyline, our Daily Recaps Archive can get you caught up on all of the action in no time. We also have an extended sneak preview video of what you can expect when Days of our Lives returns.

Oh, and did we mention we're also giving away some Days of our Lives goodies?

To help get fans ready for the big return of the DAYSaster, Soap Central is offering two lucky fans the chance to score an epic swag bag straight from the long-running soap's Burbank studio. The prize includes at least one DAYS-themed t-shirt, a DAYS Bag, a DAYS Coffee Mug, a DAYS Mirror Compact, a DAYS Picture Case, and a DAYS hat.


To enter, all you need to do is log in using Facebook and tell us what you're most looking forward to seeing when DAYS returns. You can share your thoughts below using our Facebook plugin, or on our official Facebook page. The contest is open to U.S. residents, and ends Wednesday, August 15, at 11:59pm PT.
