Louise Sorel Talks Wacky Vivian's Next Move on Days of Our Lives

You can't keep a good crackpot down. That seems to be the motto of Louise Sorel's Days of Our Lives alter ego Vivian Alamain. The legendary actress spoke with TV Guide's Michael Logan about what happens next for Madame Alamain and her romantic rival Maggie Horton (Suzanne Rogers).
TV Guide Magazine: Won't Maggie (Suzanne Rogers) be pretty pissed at Vivian when she gets sprung? Can we look forward to a grande dame smackdown?
Sorel: [Laughs] Well, they're not exactly chums, but frankly, I never thought Maggie did enough for Vivian to go as far as she went. Maggie didn't really do anything. Vivian should have gone after her husband, Victor. He told Maggie he loved her. Maggie acted like a mature woman and said, "I'm not ready for this. You're a married man." She was very oatmeal-cookie about it, but Vivian didn't see it that way. Now she's not just pissed at Maggie, she's pissed at everyone.

I'm glad that she noted that the original Buried Alive was played very seriously and that this "tribute" has been played for laughs.
The original Buried Alive is classic and it would have been insulting to see Dena Higley attempt to pull off a serious tribute.

I definitely agree with Louise Sorel on shooting Vivian. Maggie should be the first in line. They consistently redeemed her character (to a certain extent) during her 555-5555 stint. This time, she's just about unredeemable. I can't stand her this time around. She's unenjoyable frankly. The writers' portrayal of her is uneven and it's high time she got a little more comeuppance than being locked in a sarcopogus. Besides, Gus is a sorry substitute for Ivan!

Totally agree about Gus! Why the eff didn't they bring Ivan back? Couldn't they afford him?
