Un-Pausing a Fan-Favorite Baby Quest
Here’s my take: when one of daytime’s healthiest, most rock-solid supercouples returns to town, fans naturally wonder when they’ll be blessed with a little good news—and it feels like the time is finally right for Days of Our Lives to move forward with a lingering family plot.
Days of Our Lives spoilers suggest that the show seemingly put one baby-related storyline on hold in recent months, but viewers are wondering if the writers are finally ready to dust it off and give Lani Price-Grant and Eli Grant the big news they’ve been waiting for.
Cast your mind back to November 2025, when Lani and Eli were merely visiting Salem. During that stint, the fan-favorite couple explicitly discussed their deep desire to expand their household and give their twins a new younger sibling. However, that potential pregnancy plot was abruptly put on the back burner—or at least delayed—likely to give full breathing room to Chanel Dupree DiMera’s ongoing pregnancy storyline.
That decision was arguably the right creative move at the time, given everything on Chanel’s plate. Chanel and Johnny DiMera’s little one will be arriving before long, and while Chanel faces a notoriously traumatic delivery ahead, many Days fans are keeping their fingers crossed that her newborn survives and ultimately thrives.
A Salem Inn Romp and Perfect Timing
Once Johnny and Chanel welcome their baby into the world, DOOL may finally give Lani and Eli the green light to resume their own baby-making mission.
Now that Eli and Lani have officially moved back to Salem as full-time residents, the timing could not be more ideal. In fact, viewers are speculating that the pair might have already conceived during a recent romantic rendezvous.
The fan-favorite couple recently enjoyed a belated anniversary celebration at the Salem Inn, which quickly led to a passionate session between the sheets. There is a distinct possibility that Lani got pregnant during that intimate stay and that she could make the surprising discovery in the near future.
One of Salem’s Strongest Loves
Regardless of whether a positive test comes immediately or down the line, Lani and Eli’s marriage remains as solid as ever. As one of the absolute strongest and most stable couples in town, their unwavering bond gives Days every reason to let them expand their family unit without the usual toxic soap drama breaking them apart.
Fans will just have to stay tuned to see if their enduring love is destined to bring another Grant baby into the Salem universe soon. Would you love to see Lani become the next pregnant Salemite and give Eli another child?
