Aaaaand here’s why these pictures are special : before I started the day, @missyreeves came in the booth to take photos of me on my first day, (as any decent mamma would do)… but after a few snaps I had to literally ask her to leave bc she was blocking all the monitors trying to get a good shot. ? that’s a Mamma for ya! Thank you Missy, in hindsight I’m so grateful you insisted on “just one more picture”.

The DiMera dynasty is on the brink of extinction, and Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis) has been campaigning for Chad’s return. Tony believes Chad is the one who can save their clan. Chad and Abby are also encountering some challenges while they are in Paris, and their marriage could be better off if they return to Salem. Juliet (Rachele Schank) has been eyeing Chad, so unless she moves to Salem too, going back to the U.S. will keep Chad safe from her claws!
