While Rex is not a relative, Maggie is Holly’s paternal grandmother through her late son Daniel Jonas (Shawn Christian) and of course Sarah is Holly’s aunt. Rex, of course is impacted also, being the man who is supposed to be the rock for the two heartbroken women to lean on! Even though Rex can be a serial cheater, at least he has compassion and can be a shoulder to cry on for Maggie and Sarah!
According to Maggie’s portrayer, Suzanne Rogers, in Soap Opera Digest, she feels like Holly is her only link to her son Daniel, who was killed in a car crash by a drunk driver, who happened to be Eric Brady (Greg Vaughan)! Maggie is obviously taking this much harder because of still grieving for her son and when she, as other Days of Our Lives spoilers tease, realizes Holly may never come home, she will pretty much fall apart!
However, is anyone ever really dead in Salem if the actor or actress hasn’t died in real life? Holly’s own mother Nicole Walker (Adrienne Zucker) is living proof of that, as is current mayoral candidate Jack Deveraux (Matthew Ashford), who had been presumed dead in August, 2012; and the kidnapper, Xander Cook Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) as well! Xander and Nicole were both presumed dead in the warehouse explosion in Nashville, and Days of Our Lives viewers suspect that Jack may have been in there as well, since Xander found him and brought him back to Salem!
Sarah too became very close to little Holly when Maggie was taking care of her and she had come from Chicago and taken the job at Salem University Hospital, before Rex showed up, who she had moved away to avoid. She and Eric bonded over Holly and his trying to keep his promise to Nicole to take care of her. It will be a tense few days before Holly is found, and the news may not be what anyone wants to hear!
