Suzanne Rogers Exiting Days Of Our Lives...?! Rep Addresses Wild Rumor

Is Peacock's Days of Our Lives poised to lose one of its longest-running cast members/characters?

Apparently, that question has been thrust in front of fans of the nearly 60-year-old sudser, in the form of alarmist "news" stories shared by sketchy Facebook accounts and the like, claiming that Suzanne Rogers, 82, is leaving the role of Maggie Horton after a 52-year run.

An official spokesperson for Days, though — in an atypical instance of addressing an online rumor — says that the speculative reports "could not be further from the truth.

"Maggie and Suzanne are integral to the show's history, present storylines, and now, on the heels of our [two-season] pick-up, the future!" the rep told SoapOperaDigest.com. "Neither are going anywhere."

Rogers began her career at the age of 17 when she left her hometown of Colonial Heights, Va., to join the Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall. She moved to Los Angeles in 1973 and joined the cast of Days of our Lives that July. Six years later, she won a Daytime Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actress, for her portrayal of Maggie Horton.

Days was renewed for Seasons 62 and 63 just last week, after amassing 13 nominations for this year's Daytime Emmys. The long-running soap is up for Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Writing and Outstanding Directing, while individual acting nods went to Eric Martsolf (who plays Brady Black), Greg Rikaart (Leo Stark), Paul Telfer (Xander Kiriakis), Blake Berris (Everett Lynch), Linsey Godfrey (Sarah Horton), Emily O'Brien (Theresa Donovan), AnnaLynne McCord (Cat Greene), and Ashley Puzemis (Holly Jonas).

The Salem, USA-set sudser originally aired on NBC from November 1965 until September 2022, when it made the unexpected — but apparently fruitful — leap to Peacock. According to data from the streamer, Days has consistently ranked among its Top 15 entertainment programs, often cracking the Top 5.
