Peacock's Days of Our Lives fans were left stunned by Sophie's sudden pregnancy revelation. Sophia's character, played by Madelyn Kientz since 2024, was introduced on the show as Holly's high school best friend. During that time, she developed feelings for Tate, who went to the same school as them. However, he was already romantically interested in Holly. The two were partners and their relationship got severely affected due to Sophia's involvement.
Recently on the December 17 episode of Days of Our Lives, Sophie revealed the paternity of her unborn child; the father being Tate. Fans were enraged at how repetitive and old this pregnancy plotline has become on soaps.
One fan Kelly Major took to Facebook and said,
"It's not that big of a bombshell."
Some fans also speculated how this pregnancy plot could also be a story fabricated by Sophie in a bid to get involved with Tate.
Sophie and Tate's complicated relationship has been a long-standing plot on Days of Our Lives. As soon as Holly and Tate's relationship got complicated and she left Salem, Sophie used that opportunity to get close to Tate. Holly, after returning to Salem, was deeply saddened after finding out about them but chose to rekindle her relationship with Tate. While Holly and Tate were figuring out and working on their relationship, Sophie's pregnancy news was revealed.
Ava, a close friend of Sophie's was shown supporting her in this journey, while spoilers suggested that Tate would commit to take care of her and the baby. Holly's involvement in this whole situation is yet to be explored.
