The pregnancy saga that’s been gripping Days of Our Lives takes a shocking turn! As the storyline reaches its peak, the future of Sophia Choy hangs in the balance. Will Maline Kint return to reclaim her role, or will Rachel Boyd cement herself as the new face of Sophia?

Days of Our Lives has always been known for its dramatic twists, and 2025 is no exception. The recasting of Sophia Choy is shaking up Salem, as the fiery teen who’s been at the center of a pregnancy storyline that has left fans on the edge of their seats takes a dramatic turn. Maline Kint, who brought Sophia to life with intense emotion and fierce charisma, has exited the role, leaving many fans questioning whether Rachel Boyd will truly be able to fill her shoes.

Sophia’s pregnancy storyline reached its peak in early 2025, with intense drama surrounding her unplanned pregnancy with Tate and the immense pressure from her mother, Amy, who demanded that Sophia marry Tate. Kint’s portrayal of Sophia navigating this emotional turmoil earned her praise from viewers and critics alike. Her gut-wrenching portrayal of Sophia’s inner turmoil — torn between her mother’s expectations and her own uncertain future — became a major talking point. However, just as Sophia’s arc was gaining steam, Kint made the decision to leave, and Rachel Boyd took over the role in February 2025.

Boyd’s debut came at a critical moment in Sophia’s story, and fans were eager to see how she would handle such an intense character shift. Boyd expressed feeling honored to take on the pregnancy arc, admitting that she’d never experienced pregnancy herself but was determined to do justice to such an emotional and impactful storyline. The chemistry between Boyd and her co-stars, especially Tate (played by Leo Howard), has been lauded for bringing a new depth to the character.

As Sophia’s pregnancy storyline culminates in a dramatic birth, her relationships with Tate, her mother, and Holly will face new challenges. Boyd’s portrayal of Sophia has already been praised for adding a vulnerability to the character that wasn’t as present in Kint’s version, but whether Boyd can maintain the same intensity and spark that made Sophia such a fan favorite remains to be seen.

The question on everyone’s mind: Could Maline Kint return? After such an intense pregnancy arc, some fans are speculating that the door is still open for Kint’s return, especially considering the possibility of a time jump or off-screen developments. Her impressive resume and growing popularity in Hollywood could make a return to Days an exciting prospect. However, Boyd has already made her mark as Sophia, and the current writers are taking the character in a new direction.

The future of Sophia Choy, whether it’s with Boyd continuing the role or Kint making a triumphant return, is far from certain. One thing is for sure, though: the drama in Salem is only just beginning. With the pregnancy saga concluding, expect more twists, emotional conflicts, and love triangles that will keep you glued to your screen.

Stay tuned as Days of Our Lives continues to deliver the heart-pounding drama fans crave, and as Sophia’s story unfolds, the stakes have never been higher! What do you think — will Maline Kint return, or is Rachel Boyd the new face of Sophia for good? Let us know in the comments below!
