Chanel and Johnny went as far as to tie the knot, despite Allie's unease with the relationship. Sadly, when the devil came to Salem and possessed Johnny, Chanel believed that their marriage was over. That same night, Chanel and Allie gave in to their feelings. After weeks of trying to figure out what to do, it was clear that the two women were drawn to each other. So, Allie and Tripp went their separate ways.

However, once it was revealed that Johnny was possessed by the devil and never wanted to end his marriage to Chanel, things got even more complicated and Allie found herself in a love triangle involving her own brother.

Jealous and infidelity ended Allie and Chanel's romance

"Days of Our Lives" viewers watched Allie and Chanel begin to build a life together and even open a business together.

Allie was always jealous of Johnny, and knew that he and Chanel shared a very intense connection with one another. She didn't trust her twin brother around Chanel, and her doubts began to cause problems in the relationship. Eventually, Allie leaned on Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) for comfort and the two got intimate. When Chanel found out about Allie's betrayal the two women ended their relationship with plenty of tears, via Soaps Spoilers.

Allie then opted to leave Salem and head out of the country with her brother Will Horton and his husband Sonny Kiriakis, leaving Chanel to run their business on her own.
