We Love Soaps is taking some time this Christmas to pay homage to the wonderfully talented and generous Suzanne Rogers.  The gorgeous and inspiring Emmy winning actress took time to talk with us on several occasions this past year, and we continue to be grateful for her candid and frank discussions related to Maggie Horton's evolution on DAYS OF OUR LIVES, as well as Suzanne's triumph over her own inner battles.  In case you missed it, here is a recap of the best of We Love Suzanne:

  1. Thanks for the Christmas present of featuring the divine Suzanne Rogers who has been doing such wonderful work on Days. The more scenes they give her she just gets better and better.
    Now that Frances Reid is no longer able to be the town matriarch, Suzanne is the natural inheritor of that mantle. Old enough to have gravitas, but young and vital enough to play a bigger part on the Salem landscape, she is perfect for this role.
    With the rumors of a big storyline for 2010, lets hope they come up with something good because she is certainly up to it.
