Days of Our Lives star Ashley Puzemis plays the granddaughter of the iconic Maggie Kiriakis, played by Suzanne Rogers. Puzemis has opened up about what it is like to have such a talented mentor and what their on-set relationship means to her.
Puzemis spoke with Soap Opera Digest about her experience on the show. Discussing what it was like initially working with Rogers, the actress shared, “Honestly, I was a little intimidated at first before I started working with Suzanne, she is such an icon and has been on the show for so many years and knows all the ins and outs. So I was a little bit nervous to be like, ‘Hey, can we run lines?’ She’s such a pro, and I didn’t want to impose or anything. But once we had our first few scenes, I knew right away that if I needed anything I could feel comfortable asking her. She just creates such a warm and welcoming space.”
The actress explained how Rogers always makes her feel comfortable on set. “Suzanne is always like, ‘Oh, I love you. I love you, sweetheart.’ She always tells me that. Just her saying that to me makes me feel so comfortable and at ease. I don’t have my real grandparents in my life anymore, so she honestly is the closest thing to a grandma to me right now.”

Discussing some of her favorite scenes, Puzemis explained, “I always have such a fun time working with her. We always say that our favorite scenes are when it’s her, and Lindsey, who plays Sarah, because then Suzanne gets to play with her daughter and granddaughter. We have the best time.”
Since her mother, Nicole, is no longer on the show, Maggie and Holly have gotten incredibly close. Puzemis explained, “She became my mother figure when I moved into the Kiriakis house, and we just began getting more and more scenes together. I think it’s because Maggie really is Holly’s only other friend besides Doug [III]. Yes, Maggie is her grandma, but they also have this open and honest relationship where they can just tell each other anything. Holly really looks up to her for advice, and, in real life, I also look up to Suzanne, too. She’s so wonderful and so sweet.”
Days of Our Lives streams weekdays on Peacock.
