Days of Our Lives’ Leo Howard Opens up About Tate & Doug’s Rivalry

As a devoted fan, I must say that “Days of Our Lives” has been ramping up the tension between Tate and Holly in an intriguing way lately, with the arrival of Doug Williams III, portrayed by Peyton Meyer. Honestly, it feels like these star-crossed lovers are more estranged than ever before. And let me tell you, as Leo Howard, who brings Tate to life on screen, I share the frustration of fans everywhere. In a recent interview, I expressed that Doug’s presence is indeed a threat to the dynamic between my character and Holly.

Leo Howard says Tate feels ‘uncomfortable’ to see Doug with Holly on Days of Our Lives

The journey for Tate and Holly was never smooth-sailing, but matters became increasingly intricate upon Doug’s arrival. Not long ago, Doug entered the scene and developed strong feelings for Holly, potentially disrupting any future plans between her and Tate.

In a recent conversation with Soap Opera Digest, Leo Howard expressed enthusiasm about the introduction of new characters, stating, “I find it exciting every time fresh faces join us. It’s entertaining, and it adds variety to our interactions as we work together. As an actor, I embraced this change wholeheartedly, finding it both enjoyable and a stimulating challenge.

In a turn of events, I found myself not exactly overjoyed to see Doug around Holly, my partner or someone close to me. Instead, it left me feeling quite uneasy. As one might imagine, when you harbor feelings for someone, seeing them with another person can feel incredibly threatening. Truth be told, I’m already spread pretty thin, and this situation seems to only add to the stress. This may help explain my less than warm welcome towards Doug, as well as the confrontations that followed. It’s an uncomfortable situation for me to say the least, Howard explained.

He went on to say, “Tate seems trapped in his circumstances. Many can understand this predicament. Tate needs to handle Sophia, the newborn, sort out this predicament, and hopefully mend things with Holly. At heart, he yearns for their relationship to succeed. As a result, he’s in quite a perplexing situation, and Doug only adds to the confusion.

It appears that as long as Doug is present, Tate and Holly’s relationship may face another obstacle. However, if they manage to be together in the future, it could make the wait worthwhile.
