Recently on Days of Our Lives, Sarah kicked Xander out, and now the two are headed for a custody fight over baby Victoria. She doesn't trust his volatility, and he doesn't trust that she'll tell him the truth. The fight over their child only deepens the level of emotions involved. And now that young Rachel is having health issues, Sarah will be thrust down memory lane. Her portrayer, Linsey Godfrey, opened up about Sarah's relationship with Rachel.
Godfrey had a chat with Soap Opera Digest and noted that the history of Sarah and Rachel's connection was exciting for her. In years past, Sarah and Eric's (Greg Vaughan) baby Mickey died, but was swapped with Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) and Brady's (Eric Martsolf) child, Rachel. So Sarah spent the first year of the child's life raising her and even managing her cancer care logistics.

'They do have this very interesting, very deep connection, and I love that we are revisiting that,' Godfrey stated. Rachel has recently been having issues with her stomach, which could have something to do with the drama in the DiMera mansion. But, Brady brought her to the hospital to double check, and Sarah's taking a keen interest in helping her erstwhile daughter.

Initially chalking Rachel's issues up to the death of her grandfather, John, Sarah has no idea about the shocking truth that the young girl is sitting on. 'She doesn't really help get down to the bottom of the truth as much,' Godfrey remarked. While Rachel's been a handful over the years, she's also a witness to something that's potentially mind-bending for a little girl.
The night of EJ's shooting, Rachel witnessed Johnny pointing a gun at his old man. As yet, we don't know if Johnny actually pulled the trigger, but just seeing such a scene would be overwhelming for a child. Sarah starts to notice that Rachel's got something heavy she wants to unload, 'And she certainly wouldn't think it was something like [Johnny pointing a gun at EJ].'
