TESORO’S BABY MAMA SOPHIA CHOI’S TWISTED SCHEME NEARLY KILLS HOLLY JONAS
TL;DR: Sophia Choi has officially become DAYS most TWISTED schemer by drugging Holly Jonas, stealing provocative photos from her phone, sending them to Johnny DiMera, and nearly getting Holly killed in a dorm fire! And all to sabotage Johnny and Chanel DiMera’s adoption of baby Tesoro. Why? Because Sophia IS the birth mother, and she’s spiraling out of control!
Sophia’s Diabolical Plan Nearly Killed Holly!
Clutch your stress balls, Days fans! Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) has taken manipulation to a whole new level of EVIL on Days of Our Lives. This girl didn’t just scheme—she literally put Holly Jonas’ (Ashley Puzemis) life in danger! Here’s what went down: Sophia spiked Holly’s drink, snuck into her dorm room while she was passed out, took scandalous photos of her, and then sent them to Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) from Holly’s phone to make it look like his student was coming onto him.
But wait! It gets WORSE! While Holly was knocked out from whatever Sophia gave her, a fire broke out in the dorm, and Holly slept through it all. If Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) hadn’t pulled her out of that smoke-filled room, Holly could have DIED. And for what? So Sophia could ruin Johnny and Chanel’s (Raven Bowens) chance to adopt a baby! The writers are really giving us Jan Spears 2.0 with this one!
The Adoption Sabotage That Went Too Far
So why is Sophia so desperate to destroy Johnny and Chanel’s adoption plans? Because Sophia is Tesoro’s birth mother. She’s been lying to everyone, especially Tate Black (Leo Howard), claiming he’s the father when the DNA test proved otherwise. Sophia overheard Johnny and Chanel talking about adopting Tesoro at their apartment, and she PANICKED. Not my baby! Not with YOU!
The real problem? If Johnny and Chanel adopt the baby into Tate’s extended family through the DiMera connection, people might start asking questions about why Tesoro looks suspiciously like a baby Tate and Sophia could have had together. So Sophia went full villain mode and crafted an elaborate scheme to make it look like Johnny was having an inappropriate relationship with his student Holly. Sounds implausible? Like sands through the hourglass, my friends…soaking, gritty sands. The kind that stick to your feet and come out to play when you climb into your bed. And nobody likes sand in the sheets! But we digress…
The Anonymous Letter That Changed Everything
Sophia didn’t stop at the fake sexts! She also wrote an anonymous letter to the adoption agency to say she was Tesoro’s birth mother, claiming that Johnny was having an affair with a student who had feelings for him. When the social worker showed up for the home visit and saw the “sexy” photo of Holly on Johnny’s phone, she ended the meeting immediately and put the adoption on hold.
Chanel was DEVASTATED. She’d been so excited about finally becoming a mother, and in one moment, it all came crashing down. Johnny was confused and horrified because he had NO idea where those photos came from. And poor Holly? She woke up in the hospital with no memory of sending any messages and discovered all her photos and texts were mysteriously deleted from the cloud. Convenient, right?
Johnny and Chanel Connect the Dots
Thankfully, Johnny and Chanel aren’t buying Holly’s supposed confession of love. When they confronted Holly about the photos, she was genuinely SHOCKED and had no idea what they were talking about. After losing her phone in the fire, Holly got a new one and discovered that all her cloud data had been wiped, including the alleged sexy photos she supposedly sent to Johnny.
Johnny called in Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) to help track where the photo was actually sent from, and guess what? It came from Horton Town Square. NOT the hospital where Holly was recovering! This confirmed that Holly was set up, and someone else was behind the whole scheme.
The Clues Point Straight to Sophia
As Johnny and Chanel pieced together the evidence, they realized the culprit had to be someone who: 1) knew about their adoption plans, 2) had access to Holly’s phone, 3) knew about Holly’s old crush on Johnny, and 4) had been spotted near campus the night of the fire. All roads led to Sophia Choi!
Brady remembered seeing Sophia near the dorms that night, and Johnny recalled running into Sophia at Horton Town Square when he was buying a crib for Tesoro. She’d seen him with baby supplies and made snide comments about Johnny and Chanel backing out of adopting her baby. Wait—HER baby? That’s when it all clicked! Sophia IS Tesoro’s mother, and she’s been playing everyone this entire time!
Sarah Confronts Sophia About Her Lies
Meanwhile, Sarah Horton Kiriakis (Linsey Godfrey) has been doing some detective work of her own. After Brady’s DNA test confirmed that Tate is NOT Tesoro’s father, Sarah started questioning Sophia’s entire story. She confronted Sophia at The Brady Pub and demanded to know why she’s been lying to everyone.
Sophia tried to deflect and walk away, but Sarah wasn’t having it. She grabbed Sophia’s arm and insisted they meet in the park after Sophia’s shift to hash things out. The walls are closing in on Sophia, and it’s only a matter of time before the ENTIRE truth comes out. Will she confess? Will she double down on her lies? Or will she do something even MORE desperate?
Holly Plans to Flee Salem
As if things weren’t dramatic enough, Holly has decided she’s DONE with Salem. After everything she’s been through—the breakup with Tate, the dorm fire, being accused of seducing her professor, and watching Sophia cozy up to Tate—Holly just wants OUT. She’s planning to fly to Paris to be with her mom Nicole Walker (Arianne Zucker) and baby Jude.
Holly confided in her roommate Arianna “Ari” Horton (Marissa Reyes) and swore her to secrecy. But of course, Tate is frantically searching for Holly, and Ari can’t keep the secret for long. Will Tate catch Holly before she boards that plane? And more importantly, will Holly finally learn that Sophia is the one who’s been orchestrating this nightmare?
What Happens Next?
The spoilers suggest that Sophia’s schemes are about to BLOW UP in her face. Johnny, Chanel, Brady, and Rafe are all comparing notes and piecing together the truth. Once they figure out that Sophia drugged Holly, stole her phone, and nearly got her killed in a fire, all hell is going to break loose in Salem!
And let’s talk about the adoption—will Johnny and Chanel still get to adopt Tesoro once the truth comes out? Or will Sophia try to grab the baby and run? The writers have set up one EXPLOSIVE storyline, and we are HERE for it!
One thing’s for sure: Sophia Choi has officially earned her spot as one of Salem’s most dangerous schemers, and Karma is coming for her!
