This whole article reads like a clickbait.  I am unaware of any gossip or rumors that she was leaving.  Is it me or are they just making stuff up for clicks?  Because it feels like they made up the rumor, got a tepid reply, and used AI to write the story.

That random tvinsider article is referencing a real SOD article.
https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/suzanne-rogers-and-her-character-maggie-arent-going-anywhere-says-days-of-our-lives-rep-excl/

The SOD article by Mara Levinsky says that there were so many fake rumors on Facebook  that Suzanne was leaving, that a spokesperson for DAYS told SOD that Suzanne's staying at DAYS, and please disregard the fake rumors.

So it's non-news news.

Just to be clear: I have no spoilers here. This is all speculation based only on what’s aired so far.

Now that Marlena is asking Rachel if she remembers anything else from the night of the shooting, I wonder if we’re heading toward a misdirect. Rachel might say she saw a blonde woman shoot EJ. That would raise obvious red flags—especially since Marlena has been shown acting unsettled lately, and we’ve had the Queen of the Night dream recur more than once.

The show loves giving Marlena a psychological mystery, and it wouldn’t surprise me if they played with the idea that Marlena could have had a blackout or been manipulated. But I don’t think it’ll stick.

The more likely option? Sami.

We already know Sami couldn’t make it to Salem the night of the shooting because her flight was delayed due to volcanic ash. That explanation felt deliberately squishy. It leaves room for the possibility.

So here’s my theory: Rachel says she saw a blonde woman. Marlena becomes the early suspect. But the truth is, it was Sami. Maybe there was a fight with EJ, something went wrong, and she fled. If so, that’s a neat way for the show to give Sami a major story impact without needing Alison Sweeney to stay long-term. It would also settle the EJ/Sami vs. EJ/Belle question in a permanent way.

If they go this route, Marlena’s just a red herring—and Rachel’s testimony kicks off the whole reveal.

I am getting tired of the very limited visits of Alison Sweeney as Sami. DAYS should recast the role permanently and bring an actress to play Sydney as well.  I also think that DAYS should think about bringing back Mimi, or Patrick or the youngest son of Bonnie's, or bring back Adrienne. Other characters that should be returned are Allie, Claire, Theo, Paul, Eric, Rex (with a new actor in the role instead of the almost talentless Kyle Lowder), Cassie, Carrie, Austin, Melissa, plus let's dropped the overplayed characters a la Kristen, Melinda, and ones noone cares about a la Cat, Aaron, & Leo. 

Who would pick to play Sami? Mimi?  Rex? Cassie, etc. 

Lousie Sorel interview, August 5, 2025.
https://tvmeg.com/index.php/2025/08/05/sorel/

Long interview about a range of topics. She discusses various acting roles through the years,  her dogs, and doing live theatre vs. television, actors she's worked with, etc. 

There's really nothing spoilerish except that she mentions she'll next appear on Days in September, with no details given.

The reason for the interview is that she wrote a book which is being released August 6.  The book details are in the section after the end of the interview.
