On June 13, 2004, "New York Daily News" became another aspect of the media taking interest in the love story when they reported the week in which Maggie would finally admit to being in love with Bianca. The news was followed by soap opera press covering the event as well. "It's the moment BAM fans have been waiting for on "All My Children", but thought would never come: Maggie finally 'fesses up to Bianca about her true feelings for her 'best friend'," announced "Soap Opera Digest". Hendrickson was excited about the revelation. She stated, "It's about time!" She expressed that she "could not believe eyes" when she read the dialogue for her character. "When I read the scene where Maggie tells Bianca she loves her," said Hendrickson, "I was sure that the next day, Maggie would backpedal like she always does, like, 'I meant, "I love you as a friend."' I was so excited to get the next script and find out that she doesn't backpedal. She's honest, forward and open about her feelings. It took her two-and-a-half years, but she does it!"
