PHOTOS: Fans get chance to meet DAYS OF OUR LIVES stars in Suwanee“We went to the Peachtree International Film Festival last night, then made an appearance on the NBC (11 Alive) news, then visited the VA Hospital,” Suzanne Rogers (Maggie) said. “It was a wonderful experience,” she said of the trip to the hospital.
“I just kind of fell into the role,” said Chandler Massey (Will), who said that he will complete his college career as his acting career permits. “It may take a while, but I will finish.”

Digest/Weekly editorial director Lynn Leahey believes soap genre will live on
“The genre will survive, but not necessarily in its current format. The problem isn’t so much that viewers stopped liking their shows, they stopped being at home to watch them,” Leahy says. “Soaps started as 15-minute episodes, and we may see them go back to that, with viewers ‘snacking’ on soaps in 15-minute bites on their smart phone, rather than at home in front of a television. Web soaps are proliferating now, but they’ve yet to figure out a model that makes it a robust business.”

Serial drama persists at Marseille
Forget perfume, fashion and top-class footballers, France's most popular export is soap opera PLUS BELLE LA VIE. It is so beloved that one of its most famous viewers, the humourless ex-tennis star Justine Henin, happily ridiculed herself by appearing in it. Appropriately enough it is set in Marseille, a city whose football club probably boasts still more plotlines than the series, and where everyday reality is often stranger than fiction.
