Days of Our Lives: Lindsay Godfrey’s Real-Life Trauma Mirrors On-Screen Drama

Today, we have a heartfelt and challenging story to share with *Days of Our Lives* fans, one that hits especially close to home for actress Lindsay Godfrey, who portrays Sarah Horton.

The emotional turmoil Sarah is experiencing on screen closely mirrors a traumatic event Godfrey herself endured in real life. For those who follow both Godfrey and *Days of Our Lives*, this is a story you won’t want to miss.

Let’s take a look back at an incident that forever changed Lindsay Godfrey’s life. In 2015, long before Sarah’s current accident storyline began, Godfrey was walking on a sidewalk when tragedy struck—she was hit by a car.

This event eerily parallels what is happening to her character, Sarah, on *Days of Our Lives*. The similarities between these two accidents are uncanny, bringing up deeply buried emotions for Godfrey and making her portrayal of Sarah all the more poignant and powerful.

While Sarah’s accident leaves her paralyzed, Godfrey’s real-life accident, though severe, did not result in paralysis. However, the physical toll was immense.

She suffered fractures in both legs, leading to a long, grueling recovery—both physically and emotionally. Godfrey has spoken openly about how this event impacted her life, and now, playing Sarah in a storyline so closely tied to her real-life trauma, she finds herself reliving those painful memories.

The 2015 accident was a turning point in Godfrey’s life. She had to rebuild her strength both physically and mentally as she navigated the challenging recovery process. Fast forward to today, and that same resilience is shining through in her portrayal of Sarah, who is facing her own life-altering injuries after being hit by a car.

It may be this personal connection that makes Godfrey’s performance so emotionally charged, with every scene infused with the weight of her history.

When Godfrey first learned about Sarah’s accident plotline, her reaction was understandably intense. In fact, it sent her on an emotional roller coaster that began with fear and anxiety. For any actor, the thought of their character facing such a dramatic twist can raise concerns about job security, and Godfrey was no exception.

She admits to feeling absolutely panicked when she first heard about the storyline, worried she might be written off—a common concern for actors when their characters face potentially fatal story arcs.

However, once she realized her role on *Days of Our Lives* was secure, Godfrey still had to grapple with the emotional weight of revisiting such a painful chapter of her life. Stepping back into the shoes of a character facing a similar fate, Godfrey openly shared that filming these scenes wasn’t easy.

“My daughter was only 7 months old when I was hit by a car and broke both of my legs,” Godfrey revealed in an interview. For her, the storyline wasn’t just about Sarah’s injuries, but also a stark reminder of her own experience and the fear and uncertainty that accompanied it.

Adding another layer of complexity to her performance is the fact that, like Sarah, Godfrey is also a mother. Sarah’s accident storyline has made her reflect deeply on her own life, especially on being a mother recovering from serious injuries.

“This story is very close to my family because Sarah has a young child,” Godfrey shared. The parallels between her personal life and the fictional world of *Days of Our Lives* have made this storyline one of the most emotionally charged of her career.

One particularly difficult aspect of revisiting this trauma was the use of the wheelchair. After her real-life accident, Godfrey spent significant time in a wheelchair during recovery, and being back in that position on set stirred up overwhelming emotions. It was a haunting reminder of her past struggles, and she admitted to feeling deeply uncomfortable being in a wheelchair again.

The production team originally wanted to add a neck brace to her costume, but due to Godfrey’s post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the idea was scrapped. The trauma from her accident was still too raw, and wearing a neck brace would have been too much for her to handle emotionally.

Fortunately, Lindsay Godfrey wasn’t alone in navigating this challenging time. The cast and crew of *Days of Our Lives* rallied around her, providing immense support throughout the process. The show’s directors, producers, and fellow actors were incredibly understanding, offering both emotional and professional support.

In a remarkable show of compassion, they even brought in a therapist to help Godfrey manage the emotional toll of revisiting such a personal and painful chapter of her life. “Everyone behind the scenes was so understanding,” Godfrey praised. It’s clear that the *Days* family takes care of their own, ensuring that Godfrey felt supported every step of the way.

As fans, it’s easy to get caught up in the drama of on-screen lives, but it’s important to remember that the actors behind these roles are real people with real emotions and experiences.

In the case of Lindsay Godfrey, her portrayal of Sarah isn’t just another performance; it’s a deeply personal journey through a story that mirrors her own life in ways both painful and profound. Her strength, resilience, and emotional depth make her portrayal of Sarah even more compelling and heartfelt.

We at *Days Drama Digest* extend our deepest admiration to Lindsay Godfrey for her incredible strength in facing such a challenging storyline. It takes immense courage to revisit traumatic experiences, and her ability to channel that into her work is truly inspiring. We congratulate her on her powerful performance and are confident that Sarah’s journey will continue to captivate audiences in the weeks to come.
