Madelyn's role as Sophia Choi is a relatively recent one in the Days of Our Lives soap, with her character being on air for not even 6 months as of writing.

Sophia hasn't had any established romantic arcs so far but has been flirtatious with both Aaron Greene and Tate Black. Aaron Greene, like Sophia, is also a recent addition to Days of Our Lives, having debuted on May 8, 2024. Tate Black, however, has been around for a lot longer, with his character debuting in 2015 as the son of Theresa Donovan and Brady Black.

Sophia's relationship with Holly Jonas, Tate Black, and Aaron Greene currently leaves a lot of room for speculation. With her developing romantic tension with both Tate and Aaron, will it culminate in a love triangle, or will she firmly decide on one over the other?

As for her relationship with Holly Jonas, what kind of influence will Sophie turn out to have on her? Holly's character arc has already shown her to have issues with drug usage, and issues in her relationship with her parents. Will Sophie be a positive influence on her friend, or will she push Holly into indulging in her darker impulses?
