The drama behind Body & Soul is already heating up, even though the cameras haven’t started rolling yet.
Before filming has officially begun, the production has already faced a slew of complications, from sudden script changes and unsuccessful contract talks to a last-minute photo shoot that only added to the chaos.
On the Days of Our Lives episode airing Tuesday, September 24, Johnny and Chanel appeared to be blissfully happy at the beginning of the day, but by the end, Johnny’s jealousy began to surface.
Trouble on the Horizon
As Body & Soul gets closer to its filming debut, there’s no shortage of brewing tension— and surprisingly, it’s not just between Hattie and Bonnie with their diva-like antics.
A much deeper issue is bubbling between Johnny and Chanel, and it might have more to do with Chanel’s history with Alex.
Although Chanel and Alex share a past, Chanel has long since moved on and is currently in a solid relationship with Johnny.
In contrast, Alex has endured his fair share of romantic misfortunes, from a failed wedding to fleeting relationships, and has built a reputation as a bit of a player.
Despite their shared past, Chanel and Alex are now at very different stages in their lives. Chanel is happily committed to Johnny and has recently faced personal tragedy, such as her miscarriage in the past year.
Meanwhile, Alex is still healing from his betrayal by Theresa and is trying to take a more mature approach to life. While Alex and Stephanie seem to be circling each other, it’s unclear what their future holds.
Behind-the-Scenes Drama
In Body & Soul, Chanel and Alex are cast as the hot on-screen couple, Faith and Arrow. However, their personal history and lingering resentments are getting in the way of their ability to work together.
It’s expected that these tensions will eventually ease, but once they do, their on-screen chemistry may become a problem for their off-screen relationships.
This has already started to happen, even though the cast is only in the early stages of production, with a photo shoot being the first event to showcase any tension.
During the shoot, Kate encourages Chanel and Alex to dial up the heat for the cameras, and photographer Eric captures their growing chemistry.
However, things take a turn when Johnny walks in just as the sparks between Chanel and Alex are flying during the shoot. His jealousy is unmistakable, and it’s clear this moment won’t go unnoticed.
What’s Next for These Relationships?
As Body & Soul ramps up, it’s becoming apparent that the soap-within-a-soap storyline may have significant real-life consequences for the relationships involved.
Will Johnny’s jealousy and the undeniable chemistry between Chanel and Alex complicate things further? How will Alex’s unresolved feelings and his own budding relationship with Stephanie play into the mix?
The tension is already high, and we haven’t even seen what will happen once filming starts.
Could these on-screen dynamics spell long-lasting trouble for Johnny and Chanel’s relationship, or will this storyline only last as long as Body & Soul is in production?
Fans will need to stay tuned to find out whether this is a fleeting drama or something with more lasting consequences.
