I'm just glad that Victor is not buying into it, but........I wonder how long it will be before Maggie changes his mind.

I didn't mean Summer was an egg child. Sorry if that wasn't clear. I was more alluding to the fact that it's another long lost child storyline, similar to Daniel, only she was given away via adoption instead.
Ahh gotcha. That's just been a common misconception (LOL) lately.

LOL, the entire storyline is "ill-conceived".

....I still don't understand how her being half of the Mickey/Maggie pairing held her back. Would love to see her logic behind that...
I will agree with SR on this one. As "Mickey and Maggie". the characters were written/performed as saintly. And John Clarke could barely act his way out of a paper bag for his final decade on the show. The horrid recasts of Mickey were cartoonish/buffonish and ill-conceived.

I don't necessarily blame the actors. Clearly the producers/writers weren't interested in writing anything decent for her. She basically escorted Alice around during Frances' final years and became a gossipy shrew for half a decade or so -- totally against her character.

They rarely showed any bonding with Janice/Melissa/Sarah. Maggie had more heart-to-hearts with Lucas/Brady/Melanie/Daniel than ever before.

It says alot that the only time she was promoted/hyped was the Red Carpet Event in LA for the two episodes where she was brutally murdered with a wine bottle by "Marlena".

I would agree with that toward the end of John Clark's term, but Mickey and Maggie is what made her a Horton and core member of Days. Without him, she probably wouldn't have been on the show as long as she has. She can hate how it ended, but she shouldn't want to trash their good history.

At this point Maggie will have more long-lost children than Stefano! :wtf:
I'm gonna start pretending that Maggie Horton died in 2010 with Mickey Horton.
This is Maggie Kiriakis' history!

Did it hold her back? Maybe. But what it really did, IMO, was made her relevant in the first place which is the only reason they bothered keeping her so long. If she hadn't been married to Mickey Horton, she wouldn't have made it past the 80s...IF she'd been kept that long. What "held her back" in the 2000s was that they didn't write out Mickey despite not having an actor for the role.

The only thing that can even come close to redeeming this s/l is if it comes out that Daniel and Summer were married con artists. Daniel switched test results to take the place of Maggie's egg baby and was working with Summer to bring her to town to claim a chunk of Horton and Kiriakis inheritances when they killed Victor and Maggie. But then Daniel was killed and Dario is undercover to expose Summer. Truth comes out, Daniel is a paiah and is never thought of again in Salem. Melanie and Parker are retconned away. Sarah and Melissa return to support Maggie. The end.

Not a fan of this story at all.

I really loved Maggie during the sarcophagus story and the original Magic just before the reboot. Since then, I've lost my interest in Maggie. She's not Daniel's mother; she's not Melanie's grandmother; she's not Parker's grandmother (actually she's Parker's step-grandmother, since Parker is Philip's). She did not give birth at age 17, and she was not 17 40 years ago. She has two daughters, Sarah and Melissa and I'll even add a 3rd, Janice. No more.

I don't even like the character of Maggie anymore and yet this storyline really bothers me. Rewriting history really is an insult to all the fans. This is bad.

Whoever wrote this is a shitty hack writer. Dena or Josh, it doesn't matter. They completely destroyed a legacy couple's history just for this idiotic Summer story. I wish they were reading this because I wanna know WHAT THE HELL IS THEIR PROBLEM? How dare they! Ugh, this is just disgusting.

And in addition to this screwing up Maggie and Mickey's history, I can't believe we'll basically getting the same story of Maggie get some forty something child out of the blue. Why would anyone think this was an interesting story to repeat and that Maggie was a character who should be upfront at this point?

They don't care about history. It used to be frowned upon if they messed with history we saw play out on our screen, but not any more. They totally messed with John's history when they invented Paul as his son, but it was accepted very easily by most people, so why would they think Summer and Maggie would be any different?

Honest to God - so much ^^^ THIS ^^^. Maggie at this point should be head of the candystripers at the hospital or in charge of the Salem Arts Foundation or whatever. Supporting other characters & storylines. And FFS, please get her & Victor divorced already. Have Henderson bring Victor his meds or whatever and get this disastrous pairing overwith. She does NOT get to point fingers at him for having skeletons in his closet - she knew who he was before they hooked up.

I remember reading not too long ago this soap writer saying that they liked to create characters of their own because then they could write the character any way they wanted and weren't restricted by history.

They end up messing with history regardless. Idk of any writer who didn't, whether it was with their own characters or established characters. Some things can work, and some just don't. Some are worth it for the story (especially when it's not a huge change).

This is the first time in a while something has completely changed everything we know about a character...AND it's very unlikely to be worth it in the long run. It looks like they changed all of this for what's most likely a short term character that will be forgotten at least by this time next year.

Stuff like this is why I liked Reilly back in the day. He'd toss in a witch or some weird sci-fi stuff and it would all work within the logic of the show. This is quasi-realism and it just seems to raise questions I doubt they'll really explore. I'd give them major props if they just had Maggie say "I didn't want you then, I haven't wanted you since, I don't want you now." No tears, no angst (for Maggie), no regrets, no tearful reunion later. Just a cold, callous, hard edge to match what's ultimately a very cynical plot twist (imho it's just a cheap way of playing it like they're down with core families, not newbies, when they don't really care about the show's history).

Plus if Rogers is looking for an acting challenge, or to not be held back and whatnot, that would do it. She's not a great crier anyhow, imho.

Now what would be interesting is if Summer was Sarah's making her Maggie's granddaughter (and realistic. Since we haven't see Sarah on screen after the 1990s I wonder what happen between mother and daughter that caused a 20 year estrangement and why Sarah's daughter is in town....

Using history to connect new characters without jumping through flaming hoops not that hard. :headbang:

This story line is more eyeroll inducing than Fred the Elephant.
