Just when Salem thought it had seen it all, Days of Our Lives drops another bombshell that’s left fans reeling. Sophia — the woman

everyone thought was broken, innocent, and misunderstood — has been hiding something enormous. This week’s spoilers confirm what

many viewers have suspected for months: Sophia was pretending all along, and the shocking truth about her plan with Melinda is finally about to explode.

The upcoming episodes promise emotional chaos, ruthless deception, and a betrayal that will cut deep into the heart of Salem’s most powerful families. The truth will change everything — and no one will see it coming.

Sophia’s “Innocence” Was a Lie

For weeks, fans have watched Sophia play the part of a fragile woman torn apart by loss and guilt. Her trembling hands, tearful breakdowns, and desperate apologies made it easy for everyone to sympathize with her. But behind those sad eyes, Sophia has been strategically plotting something dark — something she’s been building with Melinda Trask all along.

In upcoming scenes, it’s revealed that Sophia’s tears were nothing but an act. Every emotional outburst, every apology, every moment she played the victim — all of it was part of an elaborate ruse.

“She fooled everyone,” an insider teased. “Sophia isn’t the heartbroken woman Salem thought she was — she’s a master manipulator. And Melinda’s been her secret partner in crime from the start.”

The Shocking Alliance With Melinda

Melinda Trask, known for her ruthless tactics as Salem’s district attorney, has made her fair share of enemies over the years. But her alliance with Sophia might be her most dangerous move yet. According to Days of Our Lives spoilers, the two women have been working together behind the scenes to take down several key figures in Salem’s inner circle — including EJ DiMera and Sloan Petersen.

Their goal? Revenge, money, and control.

It turns out that Sophia approached Melinda months ago with information that could destroy multiple Salem power players. Instead of turning Sophia in, Melinda saw an opportunity — and together, they’ve been manipulating people from the shadows ever since.

“Melinda has always walked a fine line between justice and corruption,” said one insider. “But teaming up with Sophia takes her to a whole new level. The two of them together are unstoppable — and terrifying.”

The Trap That Changed Everything

Sophia’s fake breakdown wasn’t just for sympathy — it was the setup for a bigger scheme. According to spoilers, she staged her emotional collapse to get close to EJ DiMera, convincing him to trust her and confide in her about the DiMera family’s secrets.

Once she had access, she began feeding information back to Melinda — who used it to build her case and manipulate other players behind the scenes.

Fans will finally see the full scope of their plan in a shocking Friday episode, where a hidden recording exposes Sophia’s secret meetings with Melinda. The reveal happens during a tense DiMera family gathering, sending shockwaves through Salem.

“When that footage plays, everyone’s jaws drop,” the source added. “Sophia’s mask comes off, and the entire room turns against her.”

The Fallout — Salem in Chaos

Once the truth is out, everything begins to unravel. EJ is furious, Sloan is humiliated, and even Melinda starts to realize that Sophia may have double-crossed her, too.

According to next-week spoilers, Sophia’s plan wasn’t just about revenge — it was also about control. She allegedly wanted to frame both Melinda and EJ to walk away with everything for herself.

“Melinda thinks she’s running the show,” the insider teased. “But Sophia’s playing a much bigger game. She’s been manipulating everyone — even her so-called partner.”

When Melinda confronts Sophia about the betrayal, the scene turns explosive. The confrontation reportedly ends with Melinda slapping Sophia across the face and screaming, ‘You used me!’ — before storming out, vowing revenge.

Fans React: ‘We Knew She Wasn’t Innocent!’

The fanbase has been buzzing online since spoilers leaked about Sophia’s true intentions. Many long-time viewers had already suspected she was up to something, pointing out inconsistencies in her story and her suspicious connection to Melinda.

“I called it weeks ago,” one fan wrote on Reddit. “Sophia’s crocodile tears were way too dramatic. I knew she was playing everyone.”

Others, however, admit they’re still shocked. “I actually felt sorry for her,” a Twitter user posted. “But now? She’s officially Salem’s new queen of deceit.”
