Sarah has a big secret from Xander on Days of our Lives. It’s one she’s afraid could cause her to lose Xander…perhaps for good this time. Linsey Godfrey explained her on-screen alter ego’s motivation.
Sarah’s Biggest Fear
Godfrey told Soap Opera Digest, “Sarah’s extremely fearful of losing Xander and losing Xander to his anger. If he acts on his anger, then Sarah loses Xander, and Victoria loses Xander, potentially forever.”
That’s one reason why Sarah is happy that Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier — who recently explained what really scared him.) is there to check Xander’s power, because she doesn’t feel he should have unlimited power. When he does, bad things seem to follow. Sarah is relieved and somewhat surprised that Maggie (Suzanne Rogers) didn’t insist that she confess her secret to Xander.

“The reasons they’ve split up before is because Xander lied about something,” Godfrey pointed out. “So Sarah is very fearful that if she comes forward as the person that’s lied, the same thing will happen, that they’ll split, because honesty matters so much in their relationship. And when you can’t trust somebody, what do you have?”
Of course, Xander knows the truth now, so Sarah seems to hope that maybe the whole thing will blow over, and he won’t have to know that she’s lied. Of course, on soaps, secrets rarely stay safe for long. Then, there’s the fact that Sarah feels so much guilt about everything.
“The whole crux of it is that she’s scared she’ll lose Xander,” said Godfrey. “That’s been the through line throughout this entire storyline. She was scared that if he had unchecked power, something horrible would happen and she’d lose him. She was scared that if he found out about Philip, he’d do something horrible to Philip and she’d lose him. And she’s scared that if he finds out that she’s been lying, he’ll lose his mind on her, their trust will be broken, and she’ll lose him.”
What do you think? Will Sarah’s biggest fear come true? Is it inevitable that she will lose Xander? Let us know in the comments below.
