Overview
- The longtime Maggie Horton star says doctors confirmed Stage II colorectal cancer after additional scans and a biopsy this summer.
- She wrapped filming on June 13 and then completed six weeks of daily radiation and chemotherapy on July 31.
- A six-week summer hiatus allowed her to keep the diagnosis private as producers and cast members offered steady support.
- Rogers reports improving energy and will resume filming next week, noting she took oral chemotherapy and did not lose her hair.
- Because the series films roughly 10 months ahead, viewers will see a temporary absence for Maggie in 2026 that the show plans to explain.
