On the November 11 episode of Days of our Lives, Chanel had enough of the DiMeras and suggested that she and Johnny leave Salem for good. Paulina heard and put her foot down — no! This is about her! Paulina finally has both her daughters in one city, and she’ll be damned if one of them chooses to leave. While Paulina was 100 percent wrong about that, she is right about one thing: Now is a bad time for them to go. They’re needed for three key storylines just beginning!
Johnny May Be the DiMera Family’s Biggest Wild Card
Dominic (Kyle Pryor, here are seven things you need to know about the actor) just hit Salem with the bombshell that he’s Stefano’s (Joseph Mascolo) true heir. This has upset EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) and thrilled Theo (Tyler Joseph Andrews).
EJ is terrified he might lose his position as head of the DiMera family, while Theo thinks he can use Dominic to expose more of his family’s crimes.
Johnny (Carson Boatman) has a role to play if either happens. He might team up with Dominic to bring down EJ, or he could team up with EJ to fight Dominic. This is one of those cases where Johnny could win either way.
Johnny Could Make or Break the Case Against EJ
Johnny was the one who went to Jada (Elia Cantu) and Belle (Martha Madison) with his accusations about EJ’s role in dumping tainted drugs on Smith Island. With George dead, Johnny is needed as a witness more than ever.
Sure, they have George’s laptop, but that’s something that can be faked, exactly the same way that Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) claims George faked her changing Destiny’s chart. They need a trustworthy human to confirm everything. And Johnny is as close as they’re going to come to that.
Johnny and Chanel Have Unfinished Business With Sophia
But the most important story Chanel (Raven Bowens) and Johnny are needed for is Sophia’s (Rachel Boyd) return. She is Trey’s biological mother, and she made a point of seeing her son on Halloween Eve. This story can’t play out unless Trey’s adoptive parents are in Salem.
