Key Takeaways
- Johnny and Chanel are expecting fantastic news after months of uncertainty

- Lexie’s heartbreaking death makes their daughter’s birth bittersweet
- A family celebration may be ahead if Chanel receives the all-clear
Chanel And Johnny Had A Little Celebration When Chanel Completed Her Chemo
A few weeks back, Chanel, Johnny, and Chanel’s family members had a little celebration when Chanel completed her chemo and was able to leave the hospital.
Chanel rang a bell, similar to ringing a bell after a good meal at a certain seafood restaurant, to celebrate her chemo completion as well.
It makes sense that Chanel will have another checkup to see how well the treatment worked. That’s just a normal part of her ongoing care.
As previously reported, Chanel faced another difficult round of chemotherapy after giving birth to her baby girl.
There would be no news as fantastic as being told the chemo worked and that Chanel now has no evidence of cancer.
It’s been a scary nine months for the couple, especially considering she was pregnant with their brand-new baby girl while battling breast cancer!
The Birth Was Bittersweet, As The Baby Was Born As Lexie Died Her Second Death
The birth was bittersweet, as the baby was born just as Lexie Carver (Nikki Crawford) died her second death, her resurrection not holding despite Dr. Wilhelm Rolf’s (Richard Wharton) efforts.
He’d tried combining Versavix, which was successful in Bo Brady’s (Peter Reckell) resurrection, with his older resurrection formula.
He thought it was perfect until the lab rats he had tested it on started dying after coming back to life, once a certain amount of time had passed.
As Lexie’s failing resurrection created another heartbreaking crisis for the Carver and DiMera families, her loved ones faced the possibility of losing her all over again.
Johnny and Chanel’s baby girl was named after both Chanel’s grandmother and Lexie, who was Johnny’s aunt and Theo Carver’s (Tyler Joseph Andrews) mother, and the new parents felt Lexie should be honored.
A Big Celebration Will Likely Be Held To Celebrate Johnny And Chanel’s Fantastic News
A big celebration will likely be held to celebrate Johnny and Chanel’s fantastic news, and the whole family will be invited, except for maybe EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel), whom Johnny is still on the outs with.
Johnny’s younger sister Sydney DiMera (Sydney Malakeh) is in town, and both Eli and Lani Grant (Lamon Archey, Sal Stowers) and their twins have moved back to Salem as well.
Chanel’s recovery and possible freedom from cancer are certainly something to celebrate, even though she’ll still need follow-up appointments to monitor her health.
In fact, Chanel recently prepared for a lumpectomy following chemotherapy, so the results of her surgery could be especially important to the couple’s future.
But at least for now, they can be hopeful that Chanel will stay healthy and be in good shape to care for both their children.
Trey DiMera (Joseph Ihlenf and Jordan Perdue) will soon be a toddler. Olivia Alexandra DiMera (uncredited) is a newborn, so the DiMera house will be full of diapers, laughter, and love!
Editor’s Take
I really hope this fantastic news means Chanel is finally cancer-free! She and Johnny have been through so much, and after everything they’ve endured, they deserve a little happiness without another disaster waiting around the corner.
What makes this especially emotional is that their daughter’s arrival came at the same time the family lost Lexie again. I love that they honored her with the baby’s name, and I think a big family celebration would be a wonderful way to bring everyone together.
Of course, this is Salem, so I won’t be surprised if EJ manages to cause some trouble! But for once, I’d love to see Johnny and Chanel enjoy their beautiful little family and some genuinely good news. Do you think Chanel will finally get the all-clear?
