Maggie’s Not Going Anywhere! Suzanne Rogers Shuts Down Retirement Rumors on DOOL

Days of Our Lives spoilers suggest there have been rumors circulating that Suzanne Rogers, who plays Maggie Kiriakis, could be retiring.

At the age of 82, it wouldn’t be overly shocking if the actress wanted to leave the hectic filming schedule of the soap behind, as she’s created an incredible legacy over the years!

With that said, a recent report helps clear the air on Rogers, retirement, and Maggie’s future with the show.

Maggie Kiriakis’ Vacay Away

The buzz began some weeks ago when Maggie was slated to go on a girls’ trip with her daughter, Sarah Horton Kiriakis (Linsey Godfrey), but Xander Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) nixed the idea of the mother-daughter duo taking Victoria Kiriakis (Amelia and Kennedy Hileman).

A Days spokesperson reached out to Soap Opera Digest (SOD) to address the retirement rumors.

In a statement, the DOOL rep stated these rumors were the furthest from the truth, noting both Suzanne and Maggie are key to the daytime drama’s present storylines, its history, “… and now, on the heels of our pick-up, the future! Neither are going anywhere.”

Maggie’s History In Salem

Days of Our Lives spoilers remind fans that Maggie Horton Kiriakis has been in the land of Salem for over five decades, starting her run in 1973. She is currently the longest-running character on DOOL, and the longest-running actor in U.S. soap history.

In 1979, Rogers won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress category, a true testimony to the talent the actress brings to her Maggie role on Days.

While Rogers has spent most of her acting career in the land of Salem, as Maggie has played a key role in storylines since the day she entered the canvas, Suzanne has also dabbled in other acting projects over the years.

In the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, she appeared in primetime hits like Quincy, M.E., Little House on the Prairie, and Knight Rider.
