I saw something about Maggie/Suzanne Rogers being "on a break". To me, it sounded something like what they wanted to do to Hope, which caused Kristian Alfonso (Hope) to quit. However, it does seem this headwriter has a penchant for putting various character "on a break" ...we don't see them for a few weeks, while Ron C. concentrates on other characters. Was hoping he would change that habit.
That said, Suzanne Rogers' (Maggie) mother has been ill, and she has been taking time off to care for her.
