According to spoilers for Days of Our Lives (DOOL), Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) and Chanel DiMera (Raven Bowens) have recently had to adjust to some challenging life changes. The rug was pulled out from under Chanel and Johnny just as they appeared to be beginning a pleasant new chapter in their relationship.
Naturally, the topic of discussion is the baby loss that put a stop to Johnny and Chanel’s plans to go to Los Angeles, where Johnny was supposed to start a film career with one of his favorite directors.
That job didn’t work out for Johnny in the end, but Carson Boatman certainly didn’t mind since it meant he got to keep his real-life job at Days!
In an interview with SOD, Boatman opened up about getting scared over a script shocker behind the scenes.
When Boatman first found out that Johnny and Chanel were preparing for this LA move, he understandably grew concerned about the possibility that he was being written out.
Thankfully, it was just a false alarm. The whole thing turned out to be a fake-out that was part of Johnny and Chanel’s overall storyline.
“Yeah, I’m happy to be staying in Salem. It means I get to keep having my job. I did have a bit of a panic attack when I first read Johnny and Chanel [were moving to California in the script],” Boatman admitted.
However, Carson Boatman explained that DOOL Co-Executive Producer Janet Spellman-Drucker pulled him aside along with Raven Bowens for a little chat.
Drucker gave both Days stars updates on the story that would ultimately end with them staying in Salem instead, so Boatman was able to quickly move beyond that initial panic.
Now that Johnny and Chanel are officially sticking around, what’s ahead for the duo? Boatman hinted that the miscarriage will actually bring Chanel and Johnny closer – at least for a while.
Alas, Boatman also hinted that trouble could be on the horizon, which is no surprise since that tends to be the case for all doomed Salemites.
“A wrench gets thrown into those plans just when you think they’re going to be happy,” Boatman said. “Well, most of the time it seems that way, don’t you think?”
According to Our Days prophecies, Chanel and Johnny will face further challenges, so stay tuned for any unfavorable developments.
