It’s been a busy year for Linsey Godfrey’s character Sarah Horton on the Peacock streaming soap opera, Days of our Lives. Now that the lies around her are crumbling, Godfrey sets the record straight. On-screen, Sarah found out that her brother-in-law Philip Kirakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) worked with Vivian (Louise Sorel), his surrogate mother, to forge a letter from his late father Victor (John Aniston) to give him a 50% stake in his company Titan. Thus, Philip stole her husband Xander’s birthright. Now armed with this information, instead of running straight to Xander (Paul Telfer) with the truth, Sarah made the decision to keep the secret, out of fear of how Xander will react.
Godfrey recently spoke to Women’s World. When looking at Sarah’s frame of mind she shared, “Sarah’s honesty is a core principle of their relationship and Xander’s the one who lies, so she’s been on her high horse for the past seven years. Now she’s no better than him. She’s not afraid for her safety. She’s genuinely scared he’ll leave her.”
Godfrey reflected on Sarah’s perception of what Xander would do, saying, “Sarah’s garbage at lying, it was just so much fun to play! But in her mind, she is also trying to do this for Xander’s benefit. Historically, he makes terrible choices and hurts people. He’s not someone who deserves unchecked power and unlimited finances—nobody does. Philip is at least a speed bump for Xander and if he takes a breath before making decisions, maybe he won’t make all these horrible ones.
Godfrey also spoke to Soap Opera Digest. The actress discusses how she handles fans’ reactions on social media she said, “I actually do not know how the fans feel about it, I had said a long time ago that I prefer to not know. For me it is better, just because people say things that are really, really unkind. It’s hard for me to not take it personally and to not absorb it and not get in my head about it. Paul’s much better at it, but we don’t really talk about it. I don’t really want to know. I just like doing my job. I want to do the best I can and hope that the fans like it.”
Godfrey has a great working relationship with her on-screen husband, she shared, “Paul and I love working together and happen to be best friends, it carries this ease and this kind of shorthand that we have with one another. That bleeds into the characters and into our performances.”
With Sarah’s secrets waiting to be exposed, fans will have to continue to tune in to see how it plays out.
