Days of Our Lives: Holly Jonas story arc
Holly Jonas was conceived through in vitro fertilization by Nicole Walker and Daniel Jonas. Since there were complications, Nicole's friend Chloe Lane carried Holly as a surrogate mother.
Holly was born in 2016, after which a custody battle took place since Chloe wouldn't give the baby to Nicole at first.
Chloe cited that Nicole was an unfit mother because she was in a relationship with Deimos Kiriakis at the time. Nicole eventually won custody but her joy was short-lived.
Nicole ran from Salem with Holly after committing self-defense murder against Deimos, and she was presumed dead following a warehouse explosion. Xander Cook and Eric Brady stepped in to take care of Holly because he was in love with Nicole.
But again, Holly's life was unstable. After Eric's fight to keep Holly in Salem, Chloe took custody once again, as she thought this was what was best for the child.
She was subsequently kidnapped by Xander, who faked her death, thus bringing the people of Salem to their knees with grief.
As it turned out, Holly was alive, kept hidden somewhere by Nicole, who was also revealed to be alive. Eventually, Holly was reunited with Nicole.
The recent storylines have Holly living with her mother, Nicole, and getting to know her extended family.
Her storyline is full of family turmoil, losses, and reunions, each of which reflects the intricate family dynamics attributed to Days of Our Lives.
