Unlike last Friday’s episode of Days of Our Lives, the November 1 episode wasn’t particularly cliffhanger-tastic. However, things did happen. Xander tried to get Kristen to agree to kill Phililp over this whole serum-for-Titan deal. Tate decided to meet with Holly after sleeping with Sophia. And Chanel gave Johnny a second chance. Already. Why did it have to happen so soon?
Too Soon for a Second Chance?
Forgiving Johnny (Carson Boatman) sets up another big fall when the secret of his one-night stand with Joy (AlexAnn Hopkins) gets discovered. We get it. However, it’s still pretty maddening that Chanel (Raven Bowens) is giving Johnny another chance already. His birthday just happened.
Another frustrating element is how Joy and Johnny keep their affair lingo vague. The two don’t quite come out and say they did it, but Johnny and Joy agree to keep it a secret, so we’re making the calculated deduction that they slept together.

Unfortunately, Kate’s (Lauren Koslow) cautionary tale of her son Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) destroying his life is apparently what did it for Chanel. After hearing Kate’s words, she went straight to Johnny and said she would give him a second chance. Sure, she said he was on a probationary period. But will that hold? Or will things go back to normal until their relationship gets blown up again?
Obviously, this will happen because we know something went down with Joy and Johnny, and they pretended to meet for the first time in front of Kate and Chanel.

Ultimately, we wanted Chanel to stand her ground and let Johnny stew. However, Johnny and Chanel were a great couple, and they could be again. Johnny needs to do the work, but that hasn’t happened yet. We’re rooting for them, but this second chance feels too soon.
After all, what he called his wife was inappropriate and just plain wrong. Will Chanel be able to forget her husband calling her those two words just like that? His assumptions were out of control, but the minute he called her a cheating s–t, that tainted their connection.
Now we wait for his Joy secret to come out.

What are your thoughts on Chanel forgiving Johnny? How about Xander (Paul Telfer), once again, choosing violence as an option to deal with his Philip problems? And what do you think Tate (Leo Howard) will say to Holly (Ashley Puzemis)? Let us know in the comments.
