Why We’re Thrilled With Belle and Chad’s Fight on Days of our Lives

On the November 12 episode of Days of our Lives, Belle and Chad clashed over the DiMera family legacy. But instead of mourning their latest disagreement, we’re cheering it on. Could this be exactly what both characters need?

On the November 12 episode of Days of our Lives, Belle and Chad got into a fight over Stefano, and Chad stomped out. Why we’re cheering the development.

Belle Jumps to Conclusions About Her New Brother

With Dominic (Kyle Pryor, here are seven things to know about the actor) suddenly in Salem, Belle (Martha Madison) is trying to process the fact that her mother may have given birth to Stefano’s (Joseph Mascolo) son against her will. Belle feels terrible for Marlena (Deidre Hall), especially since there’s no question Dominic will turn out to be evil. All DiMeras are.

Chad Defends His Family Legacy

Chad (Conner Floyd) took offense at that. He’s a DiMera, and he’s an all-around delight! Or, at least, not evil. Like EJ (Dan Feuerriegel). Or Kristen (Stacy Haiduk). Or Peter (Dan Gauthier). Or Andre (Thao Penghlis). Or Stefan (Brandon Barash). Or… well, you get the point.

How dare Belle lump Chad in with his father and siblings? Chad is taking his ball and going home! Or, at least, stomping out in a huff. Belle had better think about what she was insinuating!

Chad and Belle Were Never In It For the Long Haul

Are viewers supposed to be upset about this? Because, frankly, Belle and Chad never exactly set the world on fire. They’re both nice people, played by two very charming actors. But there’s no spark there. And no reason to root for them. You know who Belle did have sparks with? EJ. Yes, another DiMera.

Who wouldn’t take offense if Belle pointed out his family was kind of awful? As for Chad, he has more chemistry with Cat (AnnaLynne McCord) than Belle. If they’re over, we can only hope that both will pursue their previous relationship… and that they both work out this time.
