If you think parenting is all about cute moments, then this week of Johnny and Chanel will make the audience realize: raising a newborn is a real battle.

Baby T – the baby the couple is determined to raise – becomes the center of chaos when he cries all night, refuses to breastfeed, refuses to sleep, leaving both Johnny and Chanel exhausted.

The “heartbreaking but so real” scene: Chanel sits in the living room, eyes dark, holding a crying Baby T, while Johnny frantically searches for a milk bottle and spills the entire carton of formula on the floor.

Chanel chokes out: “Johnny… I can’t take it anymore.” Johnny turns around, exhausted: “I’m trying too!”

Spoilers suggest that Baby T may be suffering from stress due to the sudden change in environment – ​​from the old house to the Johnny-Chanel house. But what makes the audience more heartbroken is that the stress of raising a child begins to create cracks in the newlywed marriage. Chanel feels that Johnny is not sharing enough responsibility. Johnny is under pressure from EJ when he constantly interferes with Johnny’s way of raising the baby.

The climax occurs when EJ calls Johnny in the middle of the night to inform him of Marlena’s situation – while Chanel is exhausted with Baby T. Johnny runs straight to the hospital, leaving Chanel alone with the baby who is crying nonstop. Chanel watches Johnny leave, her eyes full of hurt.

This episode makes viewers feel sorry for Baby T, Johnny and Chanel. Because in fact, they are both trying their best. But the pressure of being parents – combined with the shadow of DiMera’s power – is pulling them both in two different directions.
Will they overcome it? Or will Baby T be too big a test for new love?
