In the ever-dramatic world of Days of Our Lives, where secrets, betrayals, and heartbreaks are the norm, it’s refreshing to see moments of genuine humor and light-hearted fun. This was exactly what fans got when Linsey Godfrey (Sarah

Horton) and Paul Telfer (Xander Cook) took part in a playful Newlywed Game, revealing not just how well they know their on-screen characters, but also giving us a glimpse into the camaraderie they share off-screen.

A Throwback to the Past: *Days* and The Newlywed Game

For longtime fans of Days of Our Lives, the concept of the Newlywed Game isn’t entirely new. Back in June of 1986, characters Calliope and Eugene Bradford took to the game show, competing with other couples in a memorable crossover episode.

Fast forward to 2024, and the game has found its way back into the *Days* universe, albeit in a more intimate setting—this time on the soap’s official Instagram account.

The game, designed to test how well Linsey and Paul know each other’s characters, provided fans with plenty of laughs and heartwarming moments.

As the two actors answered questions about their characters’ personalities, it became clear that their on-screen chemistry is backed by a genuine off-screen friendship.

Who’s the Wild One? The Surprising Answers

The game kicked off with a question that caught Linsey Godfrey off guard: “Who is more likely to suggest a wild adventure?” To her surprise, Paul picked her character, Sarah, while she had chosen Xander.

Her shock was palpable as she exclaimed, “What? You’re the one who pulls all the capers!” Paul, seemingly thinking along different lines, quickly justified his choice by referencing vacations, which led to a humorous back-and-forth that set the tone for the rest of the game.

This question not only highlighted the playful dynamic between the two but also showcased the unpredictable nature of their characters—Sarah, often seen as the more grounded of the two, being perceived as the adventurous spirit, while Xander, with his notorious past, took a backseat in this scenario.

Pranks, Trouble, and Cooking: More Fun Revealed

As the game progressed, it became apparent that both actors had a clear understanding of Xander’s mischievous nature. When asked who was more likely to prank the other or get into trouble, both Linsey and Paul unanimously agreed that Xander was the obvious choice.

This shared understanding led to laughs and further emphasized the consistency of Xander’s character—a troublemaker with a heart of gold.

When the question of who was the better cook came up, both actors picked Xander again, adding another layer to the multifaceted character. Linsey humorously admitted that she rarely cooks in real life, eliciting laughter from both actors and viewers alike.

It’s moments like these that blur the lines between fiction and reality, allowing fans to see their favorite characters in a new light.

Planning Dates and Winning Games: A Competitive Edge

The final rounds of the game delved into more personal aspects of their characters.

When asked who was more likely to plan an elaborate date night, both Linsey and Paul agreed that Xander would take the lead in this department. It was a moment of mutual understanding, revealing that despite their characters’ many differences, there is a level of compatibility between them.

The game concluded with a question about who would be more likely to win at game night. In a surprising twist, Linsey revealed her competitive nature, while Paul acknowledged her trivia prowess, hinting at a shared love for challenges that perhaps extends beyond the screen.

Behind the Laughter: The Real Bond Between Linsey and Paul

While the Newlywed Game was all in good fun, it also highlighted the genuine bond between Linsey Godfrey and Paul Telfer. Their easy banter, mutual respect, and shared sense of humor are not just elements of their on-screen characters but are reflective of their real-life friendship.

It’s this connection that makes their performances on Days of Our Lives so compelling and believable.
