💥 DOOL SHOCKER: Xander and Sarah’s Story Isn’t Over — "Xarah" May Be Just Getting Started!

Photo Credit: JPI Studios Days of Our Lives’ Xander and Sarah could be heading into a new chapter rather than a clean break, according to the actors behind the fan-favorite couple.

On Days of iur Lives, Maggie’s gentle but persistent prodding finally forced Xander to do what guilt alone couldn’t: tell Sarah the truth. He was the one who nearly beat Philip to death, and now everything the couple built — therapy, trust, promises of no more lies — has crumbled. In one devastating moment, Sarah ripped off her rings, threw him out, and

told him not to come back. It felt final. But as both Paul Telfer and Linsey Godfrey made clear recently, “final” may be a relative term when it comes to these two.

Key Takeaways

Paul Telfer revealed that Xander and Sarah’s dynamic doesn’t need a romantic label to stay strong on-screen.
Linsey Godfrey acknowledged their “rocky but compelling” history and hinted that the door isn’t fully closed.
The pair’s shared history, child, and undeniable chemistry mean this may not be the end of “Xarah.”
As with so many Salem love stories, “final” might just be the beginning of
the next chapter for the couple.

A Breakup That Changes Everything

Speaking with Soaps, the pair made it clear this isn’t the kind of split that gets patched up overnight. Telfer noted that the way this arc is being written allows the actors to step outside the “happily ever after” box. “The show, the writers, and each other [realized] that we don’t actually have to be married to have scenes together,” he explained, adding, “And we don’t need to be in a romantic relationship to have amazing scenes together, actually.”

That’s a big shift in how “Xarah” stories might play out going forward. This isn’t just another round on the breakup-reunion carousel. There’s a sense that both characters are being allowed to breathe separately for once — which, ironically, may make their connection even more compelling on-screen.

Telfer added that what matters most isn’t whether Sarah and Xander are blissfully married or at each other’s throats — it’s that the two actors still get to bring that unpredictable, volatile energy fans love. “So long as Linsey and I are working together and we’ve got material to play with,” he said, “the nature of the material — or at least it being within the confines of a happy relationship — doesn’t matter so much as long as you’re just getting stuff to play.”

Never Say Never With Xarah

Godfrey, for her part, has no illusions about how bumpy Xarah’s journey has been. “Xarah’s relationship has been anything but smooth,” she acknowledged, reiterating how the couple constantly hits turbulence and has been endlessly breaking up and reuniting. And despite how final this latest break looks, she’s also not closing the door entirely, noting that the journey is the best part of watching these two together.

She also made a point to reassure fans that their connection runs deep, even when they’re apart. “Sarah and Xander can never be too far apart,” Godfrey shared. “They share a child, they share history.” She stated that while a lot connects the two, it’s the fact that the powers that be at the show like them together.

So yes — Xander may be sleeping alone right now, and Sarah may be furious, but if Salem has taught us anything, it’s that love in the afternoon rarely stays dead for long.

Lala Kent gives an update on her strained friendship with Scheana Shay

Lala Kent recently opened up about her strained friendship with Scheana Shay in an interview on Gia Giudice’s Casual Chaos podcast. During the conversation, Lala revealed that they have still not made up.

The fallout between Lala and Scheana grabbed huge media limelight as both women made some surprising statements weeks after Shay released her first-ever memoir, My Good Side.

While giving an update on the friendship, Lala Kent said,

“We’re bumpy. We’re bumpy right now. It makes me sad because, you know, we’re not filming a show together.”

Lala Kent gets candid about her fallout with Scheana Shay

The television star admitted that it was not the accusations that really made her upset with Scheana, but rather the way they were shared, as it was disheartening to see that Shay was talking about the reasoning for their issues on her podcast, rather than taking a moment to reflect and have a productive conversation when the time was right.

Earlier, during one of the episodes of the Untraditionally Lala podcast, Lala Kent said:

“I am not a robot. You don't click in what you need from me; I'm a person with a life. I posted the book when you announced it for a pre-order, and I did post the book when I got it."

However, Scheana Shay has also shared her side of the story on her Scheananigans podcast, saying that Lala did not provide the complete truth. Shay further said:

“I do feel the need to address it because Lala knows why our friendship is in the state that it's in. This is not just about not posting my book for a week. It is about so much more than that."

Scheana Shay makes surprising revelations about her fallout with Lala Kent

Scheana Shay has revealed that her fallout has a lot to do with Brock Davies’ cheating incident. As Shay explains, her husband cheated on her in 2021 when she was pregnant with their daughter, Summer.

Scheana revealed that she told Lala about Brock’s affair in confidence before even her memoir was released, as she claimed.

“Not one — but two — of my closest friends repeated the Brock affair story to other people. One of those that it was repeated to was Brittany [Cartwright]. I know Brittany doesn’t have bad intentions. I wanted to tell her myself but I didn’t have a chance.” That one that I can’t get over is Lala telling [our mutual friend] Jenna Willis, who I have not been on good terms with since last season.”

Scheana Shay claimed Lala did that to humanise her because Lala said that Jenna was going so hard on Shay that she wanted to tell her about what she was actually going through.

Shay also pointed out that while Lala's intentions were not malicious, Shay believes that someone she has had a friendship with for 15 years could "have handled the situation another way".

The Vanderpump Rules alum called the whole incident extremely heartbreaking.
