Salem has been rocked by yet another emotional bombshell, and this time it comes straight from the heart of one of the town’s most

complicated young couples. In a stunning twist that no one saw coming—least of all Johnny DiMera—Chanel Dupree has revealed that she

is pregnant again. The announcement has sent shockwaves across town, promising to reshape relationships, ignite old tensions, and test the strength of Johnny and Chanel’s fragile bond.

 

 

This unexpected pregnancy is not just a storyline—it’s a turning point that could define the next era of Days of Our Lives.

Johnny’s World Stops When Chanel Drops the News

According to upcoming spoilers, the emotional scene unfolds when Chanel, visibly nervous, asks Johnny to sit down before telling him she has something important to say. Johnny, ever the romantic, assumes it’s about their future together—and technically, he’s right. But nothing prepares him for her trembling confession:

 

 

“Johnny… I’m pregnant.”

Sources say Johnny is left completely speechless. He loves Chanel deeply, but their relationship has already survived more chaos than most couples face in a lifetime: possession storylines, family drama, life-threatening situations, and the heartbreaking loss of their unborn child during the poisoned biscuit tragedy.

This time, the stakes feel even higher.

 

 

A Mix of Joy, Fear, and Pain

Chanel’s emotions are mixed, and understandably so. After the trauma of her previous pregnancy loss, the thought of going through motherhood again terrifies her. But at the same time, she feels a spark of hope—one she didn’t know she was capable of feeling again.

Sources reveal that the writers plan to dive deep into Chanel’s inner conflict. She wants this baby, but she fears history might repeat itself. She wants to trust Johnny, but she’s afraid of disappointment and DiMera chaos overshadowing their new beginning.

Johnny, on the other hand, experiences a whirlwind of emotions: joy, fear, excitement, and uncertainty. He wants to protect Chanel, but he also wants to be the father she and the baby deserve. And of course, there’s the looming shadow of the DiMera family—never far from trouble and almost always in the middle of chaos.

How Will Paulina React?

No pregnancy in Salem stays private for long, especially when Paulina Price is involved.

Fans can expect Paulina to react with her signature mix of dramatic flair, fierce love, and overwhelming anxiety. After nearly losing her daughter earlier this year, Paulina has been hyper-protective of Chanel. The news of another pregnancy is likely to send her into full “mama bear” mode.

Expect tears. Expect worry. And definitely expect Paulina questioning whether Johnny can keep her daughter safe, especially with the DiMeras’ long history of danger.

Marlena and Allie: Two Key Voices in Chanel’s Journey

Two women will play major roles in helping Chanel find emotional clarity:

1. Marlena Evans

Marlena has become a steady presence in Chanel’s life. Her calm wisdom and compassion will help guide Chanel through her fear and trauma. Their scenes are expected to be some of the most touching of the storyline.

2. Allie Horton

Allie’s return—or even just her reaction from afar—will be a major moment. Given Allie and Chanel’s past romantic connection, fans are already buzzing about how she’ll respond.

Will she be supportive?
Jealous?
Conflicted?

Spoilers hint that Allie’s reaction may surprise everyone.

Is a Wedding Next?

The question on every fan’s mind:
Does this pregnancy mean wedding bells are coming?

Johnny has always envisioned a long-term life with Chanel, and a baby gives him even more motivation to commit fully. But Chanel may not be ready for a rushed marriage. She wants stability—yes—but not at the cost of repeating mistakes.

Still, insiders claim a proposal could come sooner than expected.

The DiMera Factor: Trouble on the Horizon

Of course, no storyline involving a DiMera child comes without complications. EJ will have opinions. So will Kristen. So will every other family member who sees a future DiMera heir as part of the family legacy.

Expect interference.
Expect drama.
Expect someone trying to control the situation “for the good of the family.”

And Johnny won’t take kindly to that.
