DAYS: May 2026 Discussion Thread

What?

The cliffhanger ending yesterday was only Johnny's dream. I understand fakeouts on soaps but that was just stupid. How do you end an episode with a good cliffhanger, and a good hook to get fans to tune in tomorrow, only for it to end up being nothing? This was not a good idea. Not at all. Johnny and Chanel getting caught in the explosion definitely should have actually happened. And I would much rather that have led to a storyline for them, rather than Chanel possibly having cancer while pregnant.

But I didn't mind Javi coming to the rescue, even though the budget issues were a little obvious lol. It's always been good seeing him in paramedic mode. It helps get him out of those bubbles that he often got stuck in with Leo, and the Hernandez's. The cliffhanger was ok too, even though Al's acting was a little... 😂😂

Hopefully, this cliffhanger turns out to be real though.

As for Tate and Holly, I gotta admit, they came off as a little smug and nasty today, but since it was all directed at Sophia, I didn't have a problem with it at all. She deserved it lol and she did kinda deserve what Kristen did to her too. I appreciate the fact that they tried to surprise us, but I think every fan probably figured out that Kristen was going to turn on Sophia at some point. Something good could happen as a result of that though. And if it leads to Kristen finally being written out, I'm all for it.

Btw, I see we got a new set.

The whole Chanel cancer thing reminds me of Willow having cancer while pregnant on GH and I still have not gotten over that story lol. Although I think we all agree that Willow was probably faking it at this point.

It's gonna be on my tombstone: "Here Lies Khan - Who Still Thinks The B***h Faked Her Cancer."

Agreed. I want it to come out super casually too. Willow talking to Nina and saying "Oh, that whole cancer thing was a lie. Evil laugh I needed to keep Michael interested with his savior complex". And then Willow moves on to her drugging Drew day without a second thought.

It kinda feels like the wrong story for Chanel, IMO.

She should be more like the steady hand in Johnny’s life, helping him get through his problems rather than having any of her own.

It feels very cheap. Every day is like what can Chanel deal with next? lol. LG seems super invested in the story so I am wondering if this may have been a better story for Sarah? I know she is a cancer survivor so that might hit to close to home though. Brady and Xander dealing with that could be intriguing.

I think the cancer story could’ve worked for LG, somewhere down the line. Maybe after Sarah realizes that she does still love Xander more than she’ll ever love Brady 😂😂

As for Johnny and Chanel, there was still plenty of meat left in the storyline of Johnny being estranged from EJ because of Sami’s rape/EJ trying to cast Chanel as a suspect in his shooting.

I think there is story there for Sarah, but she does nearly die twice a year so maybe not.

It just seems like Chanel can never be happy for more than 5 minutes on this show.
