Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Carson Boatman Says That This Storyline Is Giving Him A Panic Attack

That’s because his character Johnny along with her partner Chanel (Raven Bowens) have been experiencing the worst kind of heartbreak for two new parents: the loss of their unborn child.

In an interview with Soap Opera Digest, Johnny says that he couldn’t help but feel panic attack-like symptoms once he realized that this storyline was taking a turn for the worst.

Carson put it this way, “The initial scenes of [finding out the tragic news], that kind of the shock and sadness. I remember there was a scene after that, where Johnny was sitting at Chanel’s bedside and listening to her.”

“She’s crying and talking about what she’s going through emotionally, and Johnny’s just quietly listening and also crying his eyes out. They’re both just so heartbroken and devastated.”

What’s more, Carson says that his character is feeling especially protective of Chanel now more than ever before. He’s even feeling that extra responsibility to be there for her now after the loss of their child.

He said, “Absolutely. He knows that she’s on the verge of, probably, a mental and emotional breakdown, as is he. Johnny knows that he has to stay strong and help try and steer them both through this difficult time.”

“It’s something that ends up bringing them closer together, at least for the time being. It’s a bonding experience. They both went through the most difficult time of their lives together.”

Now, whether or not their relationship will survive this ordeal remains to be seen as well. We are keeping our fingers crossed.

Of course, fans will have to tune in each and every day to find out what will happen next. Days of Our Lives airs weekdays on the Peacock streaming network.
