Johnny and Chanel were distraught after learning she miscarried their baby, while Theresa worried that Xander’s mother will be found.
The Sad News Came as a Shock
While she and Johnny (Carson Boatman) were visiting with Paulina (Jackée Harry), Chanel (Raven Bowens) had some abdominal pains that seemed to subside. However, mere moments later, they came back with a fury, and she was screaming so much they had to bring her to the hospital.
There, they met Dr. Greene (Jonah Robinson), who had just given her the all-clear on the June 25 episode. After performing another ultrasound, the look on the doctor’s face spoke volumes. He had the unenviable task of informing the couple that Chanel miscarried their child, and they were suitably shocked and brought to tears.
The repercussions from this are going to be tremendous. Not only could it possibly strain Johnny and Chanel’s marriage, especially since they were planning to start a new life in California, where his new job lies, but Chanel also told Paulina she was to blame for the loss of the baby.
Poor Paulina will beat herself up over this, and it may take quite some time for everyone to recover. Chanel and her mom had just started patching up their rift after Paulina’s radioactive adventure, but this seems poised to tear them apart even further. Hopefully, Johnny and Abe (James Reynolds) can remain strong for their wives and hold everyone together. (Although this is why we have our doubts about Johnny.)
It’s Brown Trousers Time for Theresa
After Theresa (Emily O’Brien) caught Bonnie (Judi Evans) bad-mouthing her to Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) — which she said wasn’t anything she wouldn’t say to her face — they got talking about weddings. Bonnie was over the moon that they might be meeting Xander’s (Paul Telfer) mother soon, as Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) has been working on finding her in order to invite her to their impending nuptials.
Later, Xander contacted his aunt, which was a longshot because she and his mother weren’t speaking. However, she did have his mother’s address, so we’ll most likely see Xander and Sarah traveling to Scotland to meet with her. (Find out how Xander got his bad-boy groove back.)
Theresa nearly did a spit take when she heard the news, and every time Xander’s mother was mentioned, she looked like she might lose some bodily functions. You see, she knows that Xander is Victor’s (John Aniston) true heir, not Alex, because she altered things by swapping their names. She also knows that it would only take his mother to confirm that she had a liaison with the Kiriakis patriarch many years ago to make everyone question whether or not Xander is Victor’s son.
This fact might also explain why Xander’s mother became a raging alcoholic: because Victor obviously left her after getting her pregnant, and she had to angrily raise Xander on her own. So now we have yet another bad mother, much like Leo’s (Greg Rikaart) awful mum, who’s probably headed to Salem.
