I guess what is a bit fascinating with shows like "Days of Our Lives" is since it is going on for 58 years they don't expect you to start watching the show from the beginning, but just tune in without knowing who is who or what is going on. Even the writers of the show don't know the past stories. I mean, it does have story arcs that spread over episodes or even seasons.
Although from my brief foray into soaps, it does seem like there is barely anything happening in each episode. You can miss like 10 episodes and it won't matter.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
