TL;DR: The truth about Sarah Horton’s baby on DOOL continues to haunt her, and the reveal that her baby with Eric Brady was switched with Kristen DiMera’s and Brady Black’s baby is a secret that still has a hold on the characters today.

A Baby Switch That Broke Hearts

The story of Sarah Horton’s baby is one of the most heartbreaking and infuriating plot twists in recent Days history. The truth was shocking: Sarah’s baby with Eric Brady had died, and in an act of madness, Kristen DiMera and Brady Black had their own baby switched into the nursery. 

This cruel deception meant that Sarah was raising Kristen’s child, while her own baby was gone forever. It was a heartbreaking moment that sent shockwaves through the community and caused the end of Sarah’s relationship with Xander Kiriakis

The storyline was a masterclass in emotional manipulation, as viewers watched Sarah raise a child she believed was hers, all while a small group of characters knew the painful truth. The writers milked this secret for months, allowing for incredibly powerful and heart-wrenching scenes that captivated the audience.

The Aftermath of the Lie

The secret had a ripple effect that forever changed the lives of everyone involved. Sarah had a mental breakdown, and the lies of Kristen and Brady caused them to spiral. While they are all trying to move on, the emotional scars of this event still linger.

Don’t be surprised if the baby switch is brought up again, as it is a constant source of friction between all the characters involved. Rewriting the past is what DOOL does best, after all!

The Drama is Far from Over for DOOL

This is a topic that fans still discuss, and it’s clear the wound has yet to heal. The storyline not only ruined relationships but it also pushed some characters to their breaking points, with Sarah even being committed to a mental institution for a period of time. 

This plot is a clear example of how a single secret can have devastating and long-lasting consequences for an entire community.
