Catch all the must-know Days of Our Lives spoilers and updates here.
TL;DR: Amy Choi emerges as the primary antagonist blocking Johnny DiMera and Chanel Dupree’s adoption of baby Tesoro after Sophia Choi’s deception schemes collapsed, while Leo Stark and Javi Hernandez serve as current caretakers amid rumors that Aaron Greene is the biological father.
Hold onto your seats, Days fans, because the Tesoro custody battle is about to get NUCLEAR! Just when Johnny DiMera and Chanel Dupree thought they’d cleared the biggest hurdle — Sophia Choi’s psychotic breakdown and hospitalization after her fake paternity scheme imploded — grandma Amy Choi is stepping into the ring with boxing gloves ON. And trust me, this woman didn’t come to play nice!
What’s Amy Choi’s Plan to Block the Adoption?
Amy Choi is launching a full-scale assault on Johnny and Chanel’s adoption dreams, and she’s got ammunition. The grieving grandmother, who just had her first supervised meeting with baby Tesoro (courtesy of current caregivers Leo Stark and Javi Hernandez), is positioning herself as the ultimate gatekeeper. She’s not just saying “no” — she’s ready to drag the DiMera family’s criminal history through the mud in family court!
Here’s where it gets juicy: Amy isn’t just emotionally lashing out. This is a calculated power play. She’s already cozying up to Leo and Javi, assessing whether they’d make better allies than enemies. Could she be planning to support THEM as adoptive parents just to stick it to Johnny and Chanel? The grandmother who failed to protect her daughter Sophia from her own demons is now on a redemption mission, and she’ll burn down anyone who gets in her way.
Is Aaron Greene Really Tesoro’s Father?
The million-dollar question that could blow this whole thing sky-high! While it’s not confirmed on-screen yet, the rumor mill is churning OVERTIME with speculation that Aaron Greene — not Tate Black — is Tesoro’s biological father.
If this bombshell drops (and let’s be real, this is Days we’re talking about), it changes EVERYTHING. Aaron would have legal standing that trumps any adoptive parents’ wishes. Picture this: Amy teams up with Aaron, offering him financial backing and emotional support for custody in exchange for grandma privileges. That’s a biological family bloc that would demolish Johnny and Chanel’s chances in any courtroom!
What Happens to Leo and Javi’s Foster Family?
This is where my heart absolutely BREAKS! Leo and Javi have been loving, devoted caregivers to baby Tesoro since day one. Fans are screaming for them to adopt the baby permanently. They’ve bonded. They’ve sacrificed. They’ve shown more parental instinct than half the biological parents in Salem!
But here’s the devastating reality check that nobody wants to hear: Al Calderon (who plays Javi) is leaving Days for NBC’s Brilliant Minds. The role will be recast, with his final episodes airing around May 2026. You don’t anchor a major baby storyline on a couple when half of them is about to be swapped out! The chemistry between Calderon and Greg Rikaart (Leo) is magic — but magic doesn’t always survive a recast.
What’s Next for Johnny and Chanel?
Given Amy’s declaration of war and the Aaron paternity bomb waiting to explode, Johnny and Chanel are in for the fight of their lives. Could this mean months of legal battles? Don’t be surprised if we see Johnny leveraging every DiMera resource at his disposal. The family might have a criminal past, but they’ve also got the best lawyers money can buy!
Given Johnny and Chanel’s history — surviving devil possession, love triangles, and multiple marriages — this couple doesn’t give up easily. They’ve made becoming parents the cornerstone of their relationship. After everything they’ve overcome, losing Tesoro might be the one thing that could actually break them… or make them stronger than ever.
The smart money says Johnny and Chanel ultimately win this war, but not before Amy and potentially Aaron put them through absolute hell. This likely leads to a massive, emotional courtroom showdown where Leo and Javi have to testify about giving up the child they love. Pass the tissues NOW because that scene is going to destroy us all!
The Bottom Line
Amy Choi’s custody blockade isn’t the end — it’s the beginning of an all-out war for baby Tesoro’s future. With Aaron Greene’s paternity looming, Leo and Javi’s heartbreak guaranteed, and Johnny and Chanel fighting for their family dreams, this storyline is primed to dominate Days for MONTHS.
Will the DiMera legacy be their downfall or their secret weapon? Can Amy really keep her grandson from the couple who desperately want him? And when Aaron steps forward (because you KNOW he will), whose side will he choose?
One thing’s certain: Nobody in Salem is walking away from this unscathed. Buckle up, soap fans — this custody battle is about to get UGLY!
