Longtime “Days of Our Lives” fans could never forget the character of Mickey Horton.
However, it wasn’t until Mickey met Maggie Rogers that he completely fell in love.
Mickey and Maggie met when Mickey showed up at her family’s farm looking for work.
Of course, Maggie and Mickey had to overcome a lot of obstacles in their relationship.
Maggie’s health issues often took a toll on the couple.
In addition, it was revealed that Mickey couldn’t conceive a child.
This led to the couple adopting and even using artificial insemination to get pregnant withtheir daughter Sarah Horton.
However, one of the pair’s biggest hurdles came when Mickey fell in love with Bonnie Lockhart.
During that time, the killer who was known as the Salem Stalker appeared to murder several fan-favorite characters.
One character who was presumed dead during the Salem Stalker’s reign of terror was Maggie Horton.
After being attacked in their home, Mickey survived but Maggie was bludgeoned to death with a bottle.
Of course, Mickey was devastated by the death of his longtime wife.
However, he wasn’t alone.
The couple’s feisty housekeeper, Bonnie Lockhart, warmed up to Mickey while Maggie was gone.
However, she was completely shocked when she returned to Salem to find that he had married Bonnie.
Maggie returned home hoping to rush into the arms of Mickey Horton.
However, that wasn’t the case.
Mickey was torn between the two women.
Of course, Maggie and Bonnie had plenty of confrontations during this time.
However, after months of going back and forth, Mickey ultimately chose to be with Maggie.
Maggie and Mickey reunited and worked through their issues with Bonnie.
The couple stayed together until Mickey’s death in 2010.
Meanwhile, Bonnie didn’t exactly disappear from Salem.
She popped up from time to time and left a path of destruction along the way.
Eventually, Bonnie returned to Salem in 2020 and fell in love with Justin Kiriakis, perSoaps in Depth.
But, Maggie ended up marrying Victor Kiriakis following the death of Mickey (viaSoaps).
However, she never forgot to keep her longtime love’s memory alive.
