NOBODY TELLS JOHNNY AND CHANEL ANYTHING—AND JAVI AND LEO ARE SPIRALING ABOUT LOSING THEIR BABY
TL;DR: DAYS spoilers for Monday, October 20 reveal Johnny and Chanel are left in the dark (AGAIN), because apparently nobody in Salem believes in COMMUNICATION. Meanwhile Javi and Leo worry about baby Tesoro, which is hilarious considering they’re up against the DiMera fortune, Johnny‘s entitlement, and literally everyone who wants this baby away from Leo Stark. It’s going to be a Monday full of secrets and parental panic in Salem!
Johnny and Chanel: Professional Victims of Information Withholding
Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) and Chanel Dupree DiMera (Raven Bowens) are left in the dark on Monday, and honestly? At this point, being kept in the dark is basically their BRAND. These two are ALWAYS the last to know ANYTHING in Salem!
The DAYS spoilers don’t specify what Johnny and Chanel are being kept in the dark ABOUT, but let’s brainstorm the possibilities, shall we? Is it about Sophia? The biological mother of the baby they’re trying to adopt who just RAN AWAY and is currently MISSING? Yeah, that seems like information they might want to KNOW!
Is it about the custody challenge from Javi and Leo? The fact that two men are actively trying to keep baby Tesoro and Johnny and Chanel might have to fight them in COURT? Also seems RELEVANT!
Is it about Melinda Trask‘s sketchy paperwork? The fact that the entire adoption might be built on falsified documents and could collapse at any moment? PROBABLY SOMETHING THE ADOPTIVE PARENTS SHOULD BE AWARE OF!
But no! Johnny and Chanel are just sitting at home, probably planning the nursery and picking out baby clothes, completely OBLIVIOUS to the absolute DUMPSTER FIRE happening around them! The DAYS spoilers suggest everyone’s protecting them by keeping them in the dark, but here’s a wild idea: MAYBE TELL THEM THE TRUTH SO THEY CAN PREPARE?!
Johnny‘s a DiMera! He has access to lawyers, money, and resources! Chanel runs a successful bakery and has street smarts! These two are CAPABLE adults, but everyone treats them like children who can’t handle bad news! At some point, someone needs to sit Johnny and Chanel down and say “Listen, about that baby you’re trying to adopt? EVERYTHING IS ON FIRE!”
What the DAYS Spoilers Say About Javi and Leo’s Panic
Javi Hernandez (Al Calderon) and Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) worry about Tesoro on Monday, and the DAYS spoilers suggest they’re SPIRALING. Which, fair! They’re up against some SERIOUS obstacles here!
Let’s assess Javi and Leo‘s situation realistically, shall we? They have guardianship of baby Tesoro based on paperwork that Melinda Trask signed. Paperwork that Johnny and Chanel are claiming is FALSIFIED. Paperwork that might not hold up in court if anyone investigates too closely!
Leo‘s criminal past is well-documented and includes fraud, blackmail, extortion, and general chaos. His defense might be “but I’ve CHANGED!”—except he literally just got caught by Rita doing something he shouldn’t be doing later this week! So the “reformed character” argument isn’t SUPER convincing!
Javi seems like a decent guy, but he’s connected to this mess through Leo, which means he’s guilty by association. Plus, the DAYS spoilers reveal they’re going to have a run-in with Amy Choi this week, and Amy‘s daughter Sophia is Tesoro‘s biological mother! That’s going to be AWKWARD!
Oh, and Sophia‘s currently MISSING, which means the biological mother could show up at ANY TIME and reclaim her baby! Javi and Leo have NO legal protection against Sophia changing her mind!
So yeah, Javi and Leo worrying about Tesoro makes SENSE because their entire guardianship is built on a foundation of sketchy paperwork, questionable decisions, and Leo‘s historically terrible judgment!
The Monday DAYS spoilers suggest Javi and Leo are trying to figure out how to protect their guardianship, but here’s the thing: they’re up against the DIMERA FAMILY. Johnny‘s last name is DIMERA! His grandfather is STEFANO DIMERA‘s son! The family has unlimited money, political connections, and lawyers who eat people like Leo for BREAKFAST!
Javi and Leo worrying is just them finally REALIZING they picked a fight they can’t WIN!
The Real Winner Here? Baby Tesoro’s Future Therapist
Let’s be honest—the REAL winner in this custody battle is whoever ends up being baby Tesoro‘s therapist in 20 years! This child’s origin story is WILD!
“So, my biological mother Sophia lied about who my father was, framed multiple people for crimes, then ran away when the truth came out. My biological father Aaron didn’t know I existed for months. I was briefly in the custody of Leo Stark, a con artist with a martini budget and questionable life choices, and his boyfriend Javi. Then I was adopted by Johnny DiMera and Chanel Dupree, who spent months being kept in the dark about literally EVERYTHING happening around them. Oh, and the adoption paperwork was signed by Melinda Trask, whose legal ethics are… let’s say ‘flexible.’ But tell me, Doctor, why do I have trust issues?”
The DAYS spoilers promise this custody battle is just BEGINNING, which means baby Tesoro‘s story is going to get even MORE complicated before it’s resolved!
Monday’s Bringing the Drama (And the Secrets)
Monday’s Days of Our Lives episode promises Johnny and Chanel being kept in the dark AGAIN, while Javi and Leopanic about losing baby Tesoro to people with better lawyers and bigger bank accounts! It’s going to be a Monday full of secrets, worry, and people making QUESTIONABLE parenting decisions!
Tune in Monday, October 20 to watch this custody chaos unfold!
