Floriana Lima (Maggie Sawyer) will no longer be a series regular on Supergirl although she will continue on the series on a recurring basis in Season 3. With this news, revealed a few months ago, many — particularly fans of the popular “Sanvers” ship of Alex and Maggie — were concerned that Maggie’s ultimate end on the series might be fatal.
Fortunately, Entertainment Weekly has some good news to share — an assurance that Maggie will not be dying.
“Maggie does not die,” Supergirl Executive Producer Andrew Kreisberg told EW in an article posted yesterday. “I’m sure a lot of people are afraid of that. Maggie will continue to exist in the world and we hope that if the opportunity presents itself for her, that she’ll come back from time to time.”
“Unfortunately, Floriana decided to move on, which left us with, how do we write her out as a regular while still honoring these two women who were deeply in love with each other?” Kreisberg continued. “Taking a page out of some of our own personal dating history, we’ve come up with a story that we really feel like honors what’s come before them, and honors how much they love each other, how much they mean to each other, and how much they’ve changed each other’s lives. It’s some of the most emotional stuff we’ve ever done, and Floriana has been so good in these first five episodes. Episode 3 is all about Maggie and her dad, played by Carlos Bernard, and it’s some of the most heartbreaking stuff I’ve ever done on anything I’ve ever done.”
Supergirl Season 3 premieres October 9 on The CW.
