DAYS OF OUR LIVES: "Viggie" update! (Aka "Magtor")

Good news for Viggie fans!  Since our last article, there has been a considerable amount of airtime devoted to building up this new partnership.  To review, Victor has been emotionally blackmailed into marrying Vivan Alamain by his son Bo, who threatened to kill Vivian if she tried to hurt Carly.  Victor knows Bo means business, and agreed to marry Vivian in order to keep Carly safe, and Bo out of jail. 

Maggie is unaware of the exact reasons why Victor is going to marry Vivian, but she does know that it has something to do with protecting his family.  Although she does not appreciate people entering marriage for reasons other than love, she respects and understands Victor’s motivation, and ends up rallying his friends and family to stay and support him.  To put it another way, her “shoulds” about Victor marrying Vivian do not stop her from caring about him and backing him up.

This is the very core of a solid foundation for a strong relationship.  They offer friendship, support, humor, and kindness, even when they believe the other person is doing something they shouldn’t be doing.  Maggie is the only woman who has had the courage to call Victor an “idiot,” as well as “a cranky little boy with a big vocabulary.”  Victor is the only man who has ever stood up to Maggie's advice, calling her “old-fashioned,” “bossy” and even say, “I hate you” with a flirtatious grin.

What do you think good readers?  Is Viggie enthralling you, or is this a match made in Kiriakis Hell?
