DAYS/DOOL: Another Horton Exits Salem

[David_Vickers]

  How do you know it was the producers decision, and not the actress's?

Suzanne Rogers(Maggie) recently took a leave of absence.  It hasn't been reported if she is ill or what, but she's still in the credits.

Oh lord. Even for Raven that is a reach. It's entirely possible these things could be connected but as it is we know absolutely nothing about this actor's current condition or the IRL reasons behind her exit. It's one thing to speculate, but it's irresponsible for people to assume they know. Next they'll be saying they could tell by the look in Suzanne Rogers' eye to Camera 3 that her body was failing her.

Sure sounds like she's off to the rubber room!

[dio]

boo! this is sad. I wonder if B&B will try to scoop her back up, or Y&R might try and snatch her? She could be Sally's friend and they'll bond over their hate for Bill. LOL 

[Taoboi]

Well I hope nothing but the best for her and Breckin then.

WTF?!?  The character was really problematic but this is random af.  Sarah was shoved down our throats from her (re)intro. to about halfway through 2020 and they did not capitalize on her Horton legacy status, but I think LG is really talented and was, by far, the star of the baby switch.  I will miss the actress, if not the character . . . but it feels very irresponsible to ditch a character who was relentlessly positioned to be the ("young"ish) center of the show for so long.  Between VK's sorta recurring status and ID's very lackluster turn as nuClaire, I'm sure hoping they've locked down MM so Abby can represent the younger Horton female portion of the show that's so necessary.  At least we definitely seem to have a real asset with LA as Allie, unless she randomly gets dropped.  They have GOT to get a better handle on keeping cast consistency . . . this revolving door has become so insane and very damaging to the continuity of the show.

I really liked her energy, which was completely different than anyone else on the show, and I am sad to see her leave. I hope she will be back sooner rather than later (and I hope the same for Suzanne Rogers). 

[koos]

She was getting to be too much, but her energy was sorely needed.

[Chris B]

I loved her as Sarah. She brought such energy to the role and managed to create such a modern heroine who still had flaws and great sex appeal. I hope she’s well health wise and that isn’t the reason behind her leaving. 

[detroitpiston]

I missed most of the beginning of her run but I really love her and Xander together so I'm sad. They'll probably swap her out for another round of Melanie if the actress ain't busy

[FrenchBug82]

This is my reaction too. Which makes me think that people probably have it right to speculate it might have to do with her rather than the show.

I didn't care much for Sarah as a character but I love LG. She gave great life to B&B's Caroline even in the fact of ridiculously inconsistent writing and I hope to see her again on Days or any other show that scoops her (don't get me started on B&B killing her character off off-screen long after she had already been written out but that's another thread).

[pdm1974]

Killing off the character of Caroline just for a quick plot point was very short-sighted as are most story decisions on B&B.

Since she has recently spoken out on her Mental Health Issues, I wonder if her exit is to give her time to get the therapy and treatment she needs.  I do wish her well.  I hate that we are losing another Horton though. The Horton's and the Brady's this generation should be the core families of the show.

[MichaelGL]

GAWD NO

 

I will miss LG. She brought energy to the role and any story she was in. I’ll also miss her and Xander as a couple; they were unlike any of the recently paired couples on the show. I don’t believe RC really planned for those two to take off as a pairing the way they did. 
 

Her acting ticks aside, overall I thought she was a good actress and there’s going to be a void on the canvas in her absence.
