All soaps recycle storylines at some point. One Life to Live revisited Viki's DID disorder numerous times, eventually passing the DID to her daughter.
DS moved at a much faster pace than its contemporaries so it began repeating stuff much sooner than other shows. Barnabas repeats himself with virtually every KLS character than comes along. The writing was fresher then so it wasn't quite so glaring.
Daniel's senility in 1840 may have been accelerated by [spoiler]his murder of his wife. If I remember correctly, only Ben (and Angelique later) were aware that Daniel had offed Harriet. Sorry we never got to see them as a couple onscreen. They sound like one of the Collins' most dysfunctional relationships.[/spoiler]
