In case Days of our Lives fans have forgotten the history of the NBC soap (which we highly doubt could happen), the powers that be have released some vintage video clips to take fans down memory lane.

The two-minute compilation shown below includes long-locked-up scenes featuring MacDonald Carey's Tom, Frances Reid's Alice, Frank Parker's Shawn, and Peggy McCay's Caroline.

Fans can catch glimpses of powerful moments in the show's history like the one in which Tom and Alice mourned their children having left the nest, another in which Alice caught Tom reciting poetry and realized his touching words were all about her, and another in which the love between Shawn and Caroline is commemorated.

Watch the emotional scenes below then let us know which moment from DAYS' early history is your favorite or most memorable.
