That's nothing, I'm a Day One Watcher too, and I've taken months off at a time. I love the show but sometimes it is unwatchable. I keep tabs on this thread, try to keep along with the plotlines. When I hear Steffi and Liam are getting married I'm glad I'm not watching. There have been several times I've tuned back in, thanks to heads up from my fellow posters: when characters come back with a new actor like Hope, Thomas, and more recently Sally Spectra. I quickly tune out because the show doesn't know how to foster long term storylines anymore, characters fall in love in 2 weeks, then fall in love with someone else two weeks later, who can keep up.
I was so psyched with the possibilities of the return of Spectra Fashions, but its devolved into a story about an old shrew telling her granddaughter the way to go in business is lying, cheating and stealing. Way to go Granny, thanks for the help! Why doesn't Sally just hire a decent designer (Thomas), a qualified operations officer (Rick) and a PR person (Katie)? That could provide story for years.
