This week’s shocking twist surrounding Sophia Choy’s pregnancy sends shockwaves through the entire town — and forces viewers to question everything they thought they knew about

the young woman’s story. What started as a romantic college fling between Sophia and Tate Black now spirals into one of the darkest and most disturbing mysteries in recent memory.

Sophia, played by the talented Rachel Boyd, has always been portrayed as the ambitious yet emotionally fragile Salem University student who seemed to have it all — beauty, brains,

and a passionate love for Tate Black (Leo Howard). Their relationship had all the makings of a modern love story: stolen glances across campus, whispered promises, and dreams of a shared future. To Sophia, Tate wasn’t just her boyfriend — he was her anchor in a world that often felt cold and judgmental.

But when the shocking DNA test results revealed that Tate is not the father of her baby, everything Sophia believed in came crashing down. Fans watched as her once-confident demeanor shattered into disbelief and despair. How could the only man she’d ever been with not be the father? That’s the question haunting both Sophia and viewers alike — and all signs now point to something sinister: the possibility that Aaron Green, Tate’s seemingly kind-hearted roommate, may have assaulted her during a drunken blackout.

The night in question plays like a haunting memory, one that Days of Our Lives has slowly peeled back layer by layer. It was supposed to be just another university party — loud music, cheap liquor, and fleeting smiles. But for Sophia, it became a night she can’t fully remember and can’t seem to escape. Witnesses recall seeing her cheerful and tipsy, laughing at Aaron’s jokes as the evening began. Yet as the night wore on, she grew visibly disoriented, her words slurring as she stumbled through the crowded room. Aaron, always hovering too close, offered to help her “get some air.” That was the last anyone saw of them together before the lights flickered out and Sophia’s world went dark.

In the following days, Sophia woke up with only fragments of memory — flashes of a dimly lit room, whispered voices, and a lingering sense of dread. She assumed the worst of herself, believing she might have made a reckless mistake with Aaron. But when her pregnancy test came back positive weeks later, she clung to the only truth she wanted to believe: that the baby belonged to Tate.

However, as the timeline unravels, Aaron’s behavior becomes increasingly suspicious. His abrupt departure from Salem after the party, his evasive answers upon returning, and his visible discomfort whenever Sophia’s pregnancy is mentioned have raised red flags. In true soap opera fashion, Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) and Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) have started connecting the dots — uncovering text messages that suggest Aaron knew more than he ever admitted. One cryptic message to Sophia chillingly reads: “Forget that night. We both drank too much.”

Meanwhile, therapy sessions with Dr. Marina Evans (guest star) reveal the psychological toll the event has taken on Sophia. Her fragmented recollections and emotional detachment fit the pattern of alcohol-induced blackout trauma, a chilling possibility that adds heartbreaking depth to her story. Her insistence that Tate was the father was not deceit — it was a desperate act of denial, a way to protect herself from reliving the horror of that night.

As viewers know, the emotional fallout doesn’t stop there. Sophia’s relationship with her domineering mother, Amy Choy (Sherna Nielsen), only deepens her suffering. Amy, obsessed with the family’s reputation, pushed Sophia to maintain appearances and pressured her to continue the pregnancy despite her daughter’s fragile state. What was presented as maternal care soon revealed itself as control — a suffocating force that left Sophia isolated and defenseless.

When baby Tazoro was born, Sophia’s torment reached its peak. Overwhelmed by guilt and emotional numbness, she abandoned the infant at a firehouse — a desperate act of self-preservation that shocked even longtime Salem residents. Viewers later learned that little Tazoro was taken in by Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) and Javi Hernandez (Al Calderon), setting up yet another emotional crossfire among Salem’s residents.

But the truth refuses to stay buried. Brady’s pursuit of justice leads him back to Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey), whose medical expertise and access to patient records give her a front-row seat to the unraveling mystery. When Brady shares the DNA revelation with Sarah, her reaction is telling — a mixture of horror, pity, and restrained anger. She knows Sophia’s secret runs deeper than anyone imagines. Yet, bound by doctor-patient confidentiality, Sarah faces a moral crisis: expose Aaron’s possible crime or stay silent to uphold her oath.

Adding to the turmoil, Aaron’s reappearance in Salem stirs fresh tension. He claims innocence, portraying himself as a misunderstood friend. But his nervous glances, defensive tone, and reluctance to face Sophia tell another story. When confronted by Brady at the pub, Aaron’s mask slips — his trembling hands and evasive answers fueling speculation that guilt has haunted him all along.

Meanwhile, Sophia’s internal war grows darker. She’s begun to lash out — manipulating others, spreading rumors, and framing innocents — not out of cruelty, but as a warped cry for justice. Her vendettas against Tate and Holly Jonas reveal a woman driven by pain, not malice. In a particularly haunting moment, she stares at her reflection and whispers, “He took everything from me.”

Days of Our Lives has always thrived on moral complexity, and Sophia’s storyline epitomizes that legacy. Is she a villain, a victim, or something in between? The answer lies somewhere in the tragic gray area that defines Salem’s most compelling characters. As Dr. Evans begins to piece together the truth, fans can expect a dramatic showdown — one that could expose Aaron’s monstrous act and finally free Sophia from her emotional prison.

The implications of this revelation would ripple across Salem. Brady and Sarah could find themselves at odds over how to handle the truth. Tate, devastated by betrayal and guilt, may seek redemption by supporting Sophia through her trauma. And as for Amy Choy, the proud mother whose obsession with appearances blinded her to her daughter’s pain — her reckoning is inevitable.

As Days of Our Lives builds toward this explosive climax, viewers can brace for a blend of heartbreak, justice, and redemption. The truth about that fateful night won’t just determine Tazoro’s paternity — it will redefine Sophia’s entire existence.
