In 2001 when All My Children headwriter Richard Culliton wanted to set up a murder storyline, he created the character of Mary Frances Stone (referred to onscreen as "Frankie" ). She was set to be the lesbian girlfriend of Bianca Montgomery (Eden Riegel) and be killed in 3 months.

It was deemed unlikely that a homosexual pairing on the soap would be successful but fan reaction to the Bianca and Frankie pairing was unprecedented. Unfortunately, the Cullition murder storyline couldn't be rewritten, so Frankie was killed and Bianca's mother Erica Kane (Susan Lucci) was seen standing over her corpse holding a gun.

This prompted uproar in the soap opera community and producers quickly thought up a way to bring the actress back to the show. Rather than re-writing Frankie's murder, writers created her identical twin sister, Mary Margaret Stone (referred to as Maggie on screen), in 2002. Maggie quickly became instrumental in solving her sister's murder.

Storyline tension was created when it was revealed that unlike Frankie, the character Maggie was not gay. This, however, did not stop Bianca and Maggie (fondly referred to in soap circles as BAM) fans from becoming very vocal about their support for the couple. After several heterosexual pairings involving Maggie did not work on the show, writers began to develop a deepening relationship between the two characters. Eventually Maggie kissed Bianca, moments before Bianca's lover Lena Kundera (Olga Sosnovska) walked in.

A popular role for Hendrickson, she played Maggie until February 2005. On-screen, the character of Maggie exited Pine Valley with Bianca, traveling with her, and her daughter Miranda, to live in Paris. In late 2005, it was revealed that Maggie and Bianca had become lovers off-screen during Bianca's visit to Pine Valley. In real life, Hendrickson and former castmate Eden Riegel have since separately moved to Los Angeles, and are pursuing other acting ventures. However, Eden has recently returned to All My Children and will be part of a major storyline in 2007.

Since leaving All My Children, Elizabeth has earned guest starring roles in the television shows Medium, Cold Case, CSI: Miami and an uncredited role in Criminal Minds. From January 15 to February 7, 2007, Hendrickson reprised her role as Maggie. Rumors say that she has been bumped up to recurring status.
