On the September 30 episode of Days of our Lives, Tate actually listened to what Mason had to say about Sophia, though when Holly tried to take part of the blame, Tate assured her they weren’t to blame. Are viewers about to see the most original soap opera triangle ever?
Key Takeaways
- Mason blames Holly for the role she played in Sophia’s downward spiral.
- Tate insists that neither he nor Holly is responsible for Sophia’s apparent death.
- Mason could come between Holly and Tate without becoming a traditional romantic rival.
Holly Didn’t Kill Sophia, But That Doesn’t Erase What She Did
When Sophia (Rachel Boyd) first presumably killed herself (we viewers know Kristen [Stacy Haiduk] smacked her over the head, threw her in the water, and just made it look like suicide), Holly (Ashley Puzemis) refused to consider the possibility that her ex-friend’s downward slide may have been even partially her fault.
Sure, she wrote mean things about her online, but that’s just how young people communicate these days, you’re not supposed to take them seriously! And so what if Holly was snide to Sophia throughout her pregnancy because Holly’s boyfriend dared to have sex with her while they were on a break? Sophia deserved it for being Sophia!
Could Mason Drive a Wedge Between Holly and Tate?
But Mason (Brandon Butler) heard from Sophia while he was working on a suicide hotline, and he filled Tate (Leo Howard) in on Sophia’s perspective. Tate listened. Later, he still insisted that Holly continue avoiding responsibility for their role in Sophia’s deterioration, though.
But now that Mason is there, like a physical reminder of Sophia and their relationship with her, will he drive a wedge between the lovebirds?
Will Mason’s Words About Sophia Haunt Holly and Tate?
What if Holly’s feelings of guilt about Sophia’s death infuriate Tate? After all, if she’s guilty, then he’s guilty, too. Sure, Sophia’s baby turned out to be Aaron’s (Louis Tomeo), but even while Tate thought the baby was his, he still treated Sophia pretty awfully.
He doesn’t like being reminded of that. On the other hand, what if Tate can’t stop thinking about what Mason said, to the point where Holly doesn’t want to hear about it anymore? Sophia — through Mason — may end up breaking up Holly and Tate… without doing anything at all.
