Days of Our Lives' Rachel Boyd explained Sophia's thought process and what she will look like after the impending birth.
It won’t be long before Days of Our Lives’ Sophia gives birth. The story of Sophia and Tate as impending teen parents is not the usual kind. It wasn’t quite a romance, more like a dalliance, when they slept together after it looked like Tate and Holly were over. However she got pregnant, Sophia’s facing several adult decisions that will affect her whole life. Rachel Boyd recently opened up about how Sophia’s entire world will be changed after she gives birth.
She Needs to Understand Her Power
Sophia and Tate (Leo Howard) were planning on giving their baby up for adoption because they felt they were too young to be effective parents. Boyd discussed the storyline with Soap Opera Digest and explained that a new version of Sophia, a “2.0” if you will, will emerge after she has the baby.

She explained, “She can never be the same again after this experience.” One result is going to be the connection she will have with the baby that will activate her motherly instincts. Not only is Sophia going to want to protect her new child, but she’ll also begin to “understand her power and her independence in a new way.”

She’s a Mama Bear
“She’s going to be a bit more mama bear, for lack of a better word,” Boyd explained, showing how much Sophia will change. While Leo is now on the fence about whether he agrees with the decision to give up the child, Sophia’s going to hold on to her life choices as they affect her body and her decision-making about what happens to her body.

Boyd further noted that Sophia has learned that many of these decisions can sometimes be out of her ability to control. But this means that she might resort to desperate measures to get her desired outcome. She’s 18 now and feels that no one, not even her mother, can tell her how to deal with her pregnancy. She prepared fans to get ready for a fierce new Sophia who’s going to take charge of her life.
