Days of Our Lives gives a twist as Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) and Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) are working together to get revenge on enemies they have in common, which include EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) and Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman), both.
And it looks like Kristen found a way to convince Sophia to do a murder for her and then run off and leave Salem and start a new life. And I think Kristen is going to help Sophia stage a fake suicide very soon. But the question is, how will the psycho pretend to meet her maker? We have a lot to talk about, so let’s get into it.
Kristen And Sophia’s Wicked Plans on Days of Our Lives
So, with May sweeps already started and us about to start the second full week of sweeps, I expect Kristen and Sophia’s wicked plans are going to come to fruition very soon. Kristen no doubt wants Sophia gone once she takes out Johnny. So, that way Kristen won’t be exposed because if EJ ever got a hold of Sophia, I think he could probably shake a confession out of her and she would admit to conspiring with Kristen.
So this week, Amy Choi shows Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) a suicide note that she found, she says was written by Sophia. And it looks like that comes when Brady and Jada are searching for Sophia this week. You know, maybe hoping to stop her from self harm or maybe because of suspicions about the whole supplement swap.
Sophia Out to Kill Johnny on DOOL
So for me, the bottom line is that girl is much likelier to harm somebody else than herself. Not only that, but we have Tate Black (Leo Howard) comforting Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) about something this week. And this may be about the online bullying and the reveal of Sophia’s supposed suicide note.
Johnny’s a perfect target because Sophia already hated him and knows that him dying will devastate EJ, which is what Kristen wants. And Sophia blames Johnny for a lot of her troubles over the past year. Sophia even tried to stop him and Chanel Dupree DiMera (Raven Bowens) from adopting Trey.
You know, she showed up with Melinda Trask (Tina Huang), but then EJ swooped in. He exposed Sophia’s horrible deeds to the judge and he made it clear that Trey’s bio dad Aaron Green (Louis Tomeo) signed his rights away and gave Johnny and Chanel his blessing to raise his baby boy. So, the judge ignored psycho Sophia’s claims and she okayed the adoption and that sent Sophia on a rampage.
So, at that same time, she was also wreaking havoc on Holly’s life with the old supplement swap deal. And needless to say, Tate and Holly were livid when they found out Sophia had drugged them both and set up Rachel Black (Lorelie Olivia Mote) by dragging her into the mess.
Kristen Plotting With Sophia on Days
So, to me, that’s what makes it twice as awful for Kristen to be conspiring with Sophia. Not only is she out to murder her own nephew, but I don’t think Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) or Rachel are going to like it when they find out Kristen was plotting with psycho Sophia, who used and abused Rachel’s trust. Sophia manipulated Rachel from the moment they both landed in Bayview.
And Sophia had Rachel lying and stealing and covering for her while she was sneaking out to do stuff while they were both at the mental hospital. And it is Sophia’s fault for the most part that Rachel’s back in there now. I think she and Kristen are to blame for that.
Days of Our Lives: Kristen Shocks Sophia
So, that’s why Sophia was stunned when Kristen pitched her that deal to team up instead of punishing Sophia for what she did to Rachel, which would make more sense. But Kristen is so twisted up wanting revenge on EJ, who she blames for Rachel’s current predicament, you know, instead of taking a look at herself.
It was kind of funny because EJ spoke some harsh truth to Kristen, let her know that her own terrible parenting is what has caused most of Rachel’s issues. And that’s what got EJ’s face slapped. And he told Kristen, “Don’t try it again.”
But even before that, Kristen was plotting revenge on EJ. And that’s what prompted Kristen to go and pressure Sophia to kill Johnny ASAP. Now, we know Kristen thinks it’s justice to rip EJ’s son away from him permanently because Rachel was sent back to Bayview, which is psychotic.
But Kristen gave Sophia a gun and marching orders and Sophia maced Johnny, holding him at gunpoint in his apartment. So, things look really bad for him. Sophia was having second thoughts, but then Kristen pushed her hard and was talking up this whole new life that she’s promising Sophia, which I don’t think the girl should take stock in personally.
Sophia’s Fake Suicide Plan on Days
So, the problem is right now there’s nothing much left for her in Salem. Tate and Holly despise her. Ari despises her based on the social media post that Sophia herself triggered. Everybody on the campus thinks she’s a psycho. And of course, Johnny’s scared. He’s trying to talk Sophia down this week when she’s there ready to kill him doing what Kristen said.
But at the same time, we also know Sophia is not suicidal. Homicidal maybe, but not suicidal. She is unhinged, but her breakdown and the mutism was like 99% faked. And that letter she left that her mom Amy found was clearly set to target Holly. And remember, Sophia took a screenshot of Holly’s comment on the whole hate Sophia thread. So, that’s going to wind up in somebody’s hands. Maybe the police, maybe Tate, we’ll see.
And assuming that Sophia does what Kristen wants and she kills Johnny, then the plan is for Sophia to get this new life. It looks like she’s going to fake suicide with Kristen’s help. And Sophia wants Johnny to pay, but honestly, it’s Holly that she really hates. Since the supplement swap was exposed, Sophia’s trying one last time to burn Holly down on her way out of Salem. You know, this grudge dates back to high school when Tate was fake dating Sophia while secretly dating Holly. And yes, that was a jerk move, but it doesn’t justify what Sophia has done.
How Sophia Could Fake Her Death on Days of Our Lives
So, I think that Kristen and Sophia are going to use all this to their advantage. And remember, this is not Kristen’s first rodeo with faking a death. She staged her own death years ago. She threw herself out of a window and like down into the bay during a fight. The DiMeras, including Kristen, have a long history of staging water related deaths on Days of our Lives.
And I suspect that might be the perfect plan for Sophia to successfully fake her death because it needs to be a situation where a body is not found. So, if Kristen has Sophia pretend to jump into the Salem River, you know, off the bridge or into the chilly waters of the bay, that would work. And water deaths are easier to fake because a lot of times they don’t recover the body. So, it would make escaping that way easier.
Days of Our Lives: Kristen Double Crosses Sophia?
Plus, don’t forget the DiMeras have a submarine. Rolf has used it to get away. Megan Hathaway used it to get away. So Kristen could have Sophia leave her purse, her phone, her shoes on the bridge, make it look like she killed herself.
The submarine could pick her up, take her elsewhere to start her new life. However, I don’t actually think that she should trust Kristen because once Sophia does what she wants or if she doesn’t do it, you know, either way, I feel like that Kristen is better served if Sophia is dead.
So, I kind of think Kristen may plan to kill her anyway. She has the means and the resources to help Sophia get out of town and get a new ID and start a new life. But why exactly would Kristen do that? Because Sophia would be a loose end who could testify against her.
And at the end of the day, I honestly think Kristen does hate Sophia for what she did to Rachel. So, I feel like there’s a double cross coming, but a water related fake suicide could be the perfect cover for Kristen to actually kill her and get rid of Sophia once and for all.
