SOPHIA’S FORBIDDEN TACTICS THREATEN JOHNNY AND CHANEL’S FUTURE FOREVER

TL;DR: DAYS spoilers tease Sophia Choi is quietly launching a full assault on Johnny DiMera and Chanel Dupree‘s adoption of Baby Tesaro. From secret photos, shady legal maneuvering, and alliances with Melinda Trask, Sophia’s plotting may erode their chances — but she may also awaken a counterattack they never saw coming.

Sophia’s Sabotage: No One Said This Would Be Easy

Sophia has never been subtle, but her latest moves are downright ruthless. She has made it clear she intends to prevent Johnny and Chanel from adopting her child no matter the cost. She’s not just passive — she’s actively working behind the scenes to fracture their case.

Sophia is quietly undermining their social worker approval — voicing concerns, leaking rumors, and planting doubts. Meanwhile, a “medical crisis” arc is teased to add more pressure to everyone involved.

The Photo Drop & Manipulations in the Dark

One of Sophia‘s more alarming tactics: circulating photos of Holly Jonas in compromised or awkward moments, possibly to cast doubt on her role in the adoption or her influence over Johnny. These “evidence drops” are classic smear tactics in Salem’s playbook.

What’s especially dangerous is the timing — these leaks appear during or immediately following the blackout. When the lights go out, the façade weakens. That’s when she strikes.

She’s also reportedly leaned on Melinda Trask to help forge or tamper with documents, influence adoption bureaucrats, or insert legal delays.

Opposition Is Brewing

Johnny and Chanel aren’t defenseless. Johnny, in particular, is being painted as confident but naive — ripe for manipulation. Chanel is emotionally invested, and her public persona makes her vulnerable to rumors.

If Sophia‘s leaks or manipulated records pull enough scrutiny on them, Rafe Hernandez may be drawn in — as the ethical cop type who doesn’t like dirty business in adoption cases.

And in classic soap symmetry, Alex Kiriakis may find some justification in supporting Johnny and Chanel — but his involvement might muddy the waters (questions of influence, pressure, old alliances).

Wildcards & Possible Twists

What if Sophia fakes a medical emergency in Chanel or Johnny that stalls the adoption?

What if the “something old” clue is used against Chanel or Johnny — e.g. old legal documents, past misdeeds being unearthed to discredit them?

DAYS spoilers hint Sophia could stage a scandal involving Holly and Johnny — implying inappropriate behavior (even if false) just to cause investigators to pause.

A twist: maybe Sophia‘s alliance with Melinda is unstable and Melinda could betray her at the worst moment, exposing the plan.

DAYS Spoilers Expect Fallouts, Secrets, and Hard Choices

Sophia‘s siege on the adoption won’t just be emotional attacks — it’ll be legal, bureaucratic, and psychological warfare. The success or failure of Johnny and Chanel‘s journey to parenthood will hinge on how well they resist manipulation, protect their reputations, and unearth the sabotage.

Salem thrives on chaos, but this one? It could reshape lives — and leave a trail of casualties in the battle for Baby Tesaro.
