DaysTalk is a project started by husband and wife team Amy and James Plouf.
About Amy…. I have always been an NBC soap girl. My brother watched Another World and gave me the soap bug but since I was younger, I had to go with Santa Barbara which was on later when I got home from school. I loved Eden and Kelly. My mom would tell me they had full faces like me. Eden and Cruz were my all time favorite love story. When that went off the air, I watched Another World. All the while, I would catch Days when I was home sick, which for me was often for some reason.
When I started college, my dorm was Days obsessed. I knew enough of the storyline to easily switch. We were crazy! Through college and grad school I watched Days more than I should have to be successful! Oh, well, all turned out fine in the end.
Once I started life in the real world, Days took the back burner. I was never good about using a VCR (dating myself). I would catch Days when I could. I was a speech pathologist in the school system so I had summers off and ample breaks around the holidays.
Then James, Jabie, came along. Talk about a soap opera. I was obsessed with him like Sami after Austin! I decided he was my “husband” before we ever spoke and fantasized about his proposal before our first date. Luckily he didn’t mind, because we were engaged two months after our first date on his birthday.
When we had our first child, I started watching Days again. A common maternity leave action I believe. When I returned to work, I would “sneak” Days in. Jabie at first seemed to mock this use of my time. But eventually he would wander by and ask, “So has Sami really changed”. Pretty soon he gave up the charade and would just sit down and watch with me. It became our way to unwind together after the demands of work and childrearing were done for the day.
We love making predictions and would joke about having our own website. One day we decided to go for it, and thus we have Daystalk.com
I hope you are having as much fun as us. Our motto is, the couple that watches Days together, stays together!
