Question
QUESTION: Was there ever a character named Mack (an older guy) on Days of Our Lives?  My sister seems to think he was married to Maggie at one time.  I thought that Maggie was only married to Mickey.  I still remember Maggie on crutches when she couldn't walk!!  For some reason I'm associating "Mack" with Another World (possibly married to a Susan??)not DOOL. What can you tell me?? Thank you!

ANSWER: Mac was on Another World, married to Rachel.

QUESTION: Thank you, Vera! As soon as you said Rachel's name...BOOM...their faces flashed before my eyes. BUT....wasn't Mac ever involved with a blonde, possibly named Susan?? that in my mind seemed to be married to a Steve?? I haven't watched the soaps for 16 years, although when I catch a glimpse of Days I still see that Stefano, Roman, Marlena, Bo, Hope, etc are still on.  Gotta love it!!!  Please try to clarify the Mac history.  ALSO, for my sister's sake, was Maggie Horton from Days ever married to anyone other than Mickey Horten?   Thank you, I'll get out of your hair!!!

Answer
Mac was involved with several women (can't remember names) but loved Rachel.  Rachel was in love with Steve, who was in love with Alice.  Rachel schemed until she married Steve, but didn't last long.  They changed her scheming character into a better person when she met Mac.   Maggie was only married to Mickey, but did have an affair with Dr. Neil Curtis.

You are not in my hair.  Glad to help when I can.  I only watch Days of our Lives now, but the writers are ruining this show.  They got rid of John and Marlena, and are now trying to split Bo and Hope.  Seems all they want are young teenagers on the show.
