How Long Suzanne Rogers Has Been Part Of The Days Of Our Lives Cast

Suzanne Rogers is one of the world’s longest-serving soap opera actors but how long has she been in the Days Of Our Lives cast? Created by husband-and-wife-duo Ted Corday and Betty Corday, Days Of Our Lives is an NBC soap opera that chronicles the lives and loves of the residents of the fictional Midwestern town of Salem, Illinois. The series aired its first episode way back in 1965, making it the second longest-running American soap still in production after ABC’s General Hospital.

Over its 56 years on the air, Days Of Our Lives has established a loyal audience and evens counts the likes of actress Julia Roberts, horror writer Brian Keene and activist Monica Lewinsky among its celebrity fans. The soap opera was also famously parodied on Friends when struggling actor Joey Tribbiani (Matt LeBlanc) nabbed a part on the show as dashing neurosurgeon Dr. Drake Ramoray. The character was temporarily written out when a fall down an elevator shaft left him in a coma but he was later miraculously brought back to life following a successful brain transplant.

Days Of Our Lives provided early roles for a lot of actors who went on to pretty big things too, including future Supernatural star Jensen Ackles, Pretty Little Liars’ Ashley Benson and Jamie Chung of Lovecraft Country fame. Its longest-serving current cast member, however, is Suzanne Rogers who joined the cast in 1973 and – despite brief absences in 1984 and 2003 – has played the character of Maggie Horton (née Simmons) ever since. That means Rogers has (give or take a couple of years) been a part of the Days Of Our Lives cast for 48 years and over 3,500 episodes.

Over the course of those many decades on Days Of Our Lives, Rogers’ character Maggie has been through plenty of the kind of dramatic storylines expected from a soap opera. In her early years, Maggie met and fell in love with an amnesiac Mickey Horton (John Clarke) and soon became his wife. Since then, Maggie has had five kids and five grandchildren, become a widower, gotten remarried and was very nearly the victim of a serial killer known as the Salem Stalker.

Given how long Days Of Our Lives has been on the air, it’s not too surprising the soap has such a long-serving cast member as Suzanne Rogers. She’s not the only long-serving Days Of Our Lives cast member either; Frances Reid played Maggie’s mother-in-law Alice Horton for 42 years before her death, while Susan Seaforth Hayes has played Julie Olson since 1968 but hasn’t racked up as many episodes as Rogers.
