Allie and Chanel were so in love, but love is tricky business on Days of Our Lives. One moment of closeness between Chanel and Johnny blew apart Chanel and Allie. The heartbreak led to a rebound hookup between Allie and Alex, and then Chanel moved out. Now, it seems Allie has made up her mind to leave behind all the drama and start a new life in a new land; oops, we meant New Zealand. The couple came crashing down so fast and without a build-up that it felt like a last-minute decision by the makers to end the storyline.
However, the Days of Our Lives actress, Lindsay Arnold (Allie), clarifies to Soap Opera Digest that it’s not the case. She insists that it may have looked like a sudden shift on the screen, but it was a natural progression behind the scenes. Lindsay shares that she had been thinking about ending the stint for almost a year now. The beautiful actress chimes that she had given it a lot of thought and moving away from Days of Our Lives was not a last-minute decision. She feels like it is time for her to take a break for a while and explore some newer avenues.
Although the actress insists that it was not an easy decision to leave Days of Our Lives. She had become a part of the family. Lindsay says she will miss everyone so much as she cares for the show and values everyone involved in the making. In fact, the love runs so deep that she would love to be back to say hi every once in a while. Thus, Chanel and Allie fans can still hold on to a shred of hope that the ladies could reunite someday.
The Days of Our Lives star extends a heartfelt thank you to the fans on the soap. She gushes that the love and support she has received have been unbelievable. She also gives a special shout-out to the “Challie” fans. Additionally, she adds that she always checks the tweets, especially the Challie ones. Lindsay says the tweets and hilarious and mean a lot to her and Raven (Chanel). “Thank you for the constant support and love,” she signs off.
We wish Lindsay Arnold all the best for her future endeavors. However, a part of us will always be waiting to see her pop back in Salem someday. Let us know in the comments if you will miss her just as much as we would. Meanwhile, stay tuned to the upcoming episodes of Days of Our Lives to see what Chanel does after Allie leaves.
