On the February 26 episode of Days of our Lives, Johnny and Chanel listened to their unborn baby’s heartbeat… then fought about the gift EJ sent his grandson. Since kid stories is the only kind of stories Chanel and Johnny are allowed to have – first it was about Chanel’s miscarriage, then it was about them desperately wanting to adopt Trey, now it’s about her high-risk pregnancy – should we assume there’s a separation coming… followed by a custody battle?
Key Takeaways
- Chanel doesn’t like Johnny keeping in touch with EJ
- Johnny can’t leave the DiMeras behind
- The couple may be headed for a custody battle
Bad Influence
Chanel (Raven Bowens) and her various family members have shady pasts, yet she feels very comfortable looking down on the DiMeras. She was thrilled that Johnny (Carson Boatman, who recently dropped a new song on social media) wouldn’t be working for his family’s company anymore.
And she ordered him to return the engraved silver cup EJ (Dan Feuerriegel, one of DAYS fans’ favorite recasts) sent Trey, because he is evil. Evil! Evil! Johnny told Chanel he would. Then hid it in his briefcase. Clearly, the couple is not in agreement.
If Johnny doesn’t respond to her commands quickly enough, we can imagine Chanel telling him to choose: EJ, or her and the kids.
Taking Sides
We’ve had an adoption story for Chanel and Johnny. And we’ve had a pregnancy story for Chanel and Johnny. The only thing left is a custody battle story, and they seem primed for it. On one side: Mayor Paulina (Jackée Harry) and her nepo-string pulling.
On the other side: EJ and his comfort with breaking the law. And then there’s the wild card: Sophia (Rachel Boyd). If Trey’s adoptive parents split up, will she have grounds to contest losing her parental rights?
