We are loving Eric Brady and Rafe Hernandez’s respective turns to the dark side on Days of our Lives. One is sleeping around with the latest town pariah and plotting to kidnap his niece, while the other is suddenly snarking…and forgetting to let criminals call their lawyers. More power to them! But the dark always needs to be balanced with the light. Which leads us to wonder who will suddenly turn good in 2023 to make the sides more even.
Not that Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens) was ever truly evil, but she did arrive in town as an unapologetic party girl…who married Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) specifically so that her mother would pay them both off to annul the union. That wasn’t exactly…nice.
Since then, though, she’s gotten publicly dumped by Johnny Dimera (Carson Boatman) — during his Devil phase — and arrested, followed by a long, boring story of woe that led to a murder charge her mama managed to get dropped. So now that she’s been properly humbled, DAYS misogyny style, Chanel is a good, little victim. Emphasis on “good.” And we expect she’ll stay that way for a while, becoming less and less interesting every day.
EJ DiMera may still be a schemer and a liar who kept quiet about what Dr. Rolf had done to Stefan O. DiMera (Brandan Barash), but, gosh darn it, if the death of his mother has humanized him in a way we’ve never seen before. Add to that his adorable flirting with Nicole Walker (Arianne Zucker) — not to mention their mutually supportive relationship — and we can easily see him becoming a romantic hero who puts his worst traits in the past.
Gabi Hernandez (Camilla Banus) has always had redeemable qualities — and self-destructive impulses. But now that she is clearly in the right (or wronged) camp where Stefan is concerned, her heroine tendencies have a chance to come to the foreground.
