In the Wednesday, May 1 episode of ‘Days of Our Lives,’ Chanel DiMera’s health concerns come to the forefront as she undergoes hospital tests, revealing that she suffers from radiation poisoning, just as Johnny DiMera feared. The cause of her symptoms is twofold: not only is Chanel experiencing the effects of radiation exposure, but she also discovers that she is pregnant. As Kayla Johnson becomes aware of Chanel’s pregnancy, difficult conversations lie ahead for Chanel and Johnny, given the risks posed by her radiation exposure during pregnancy.
Elsewhere, Sloan Petersen-Brady and Eric Brady engage in a heated confrontation over money, with Eric skeptical about Sloan’s claims of assisting Leo Stark’s recovery. Nicole DiMera is taken aback when she learns that Eric will also be working at The Spectator, and Chad DiMera assigns them collaborative tasks, leading to awkward interactions as they navigate their new professional proximity.
Meanwhile, EJ DiMera seeks retribution against Paulina Price for her threats and humiliation. EJ’s revenge plan extends beyond a scandalous article, as he sets his sights on unseating Paulina as Salem’s mayor through a recall election. EJ takes advantage of Paulina’s preoccupation with Chanel’s health crisis to orchestrate his sneaky strategy.
