Chad (Billy Flynn) delivers crushing news to Gabi (Camila Banus) on the March 21, 2017 episode of “Days of Our Lives.” NBC

Chad is still in love with Gabi, despite his knowing he needs to stay committed in his marriage to Abigail on “Days of Our Lives,” and on the Tuesday, March 21 episode, he will take a shocking step to ensure he doesn't cross the line.

After confessing to Abigail (Marci Miller) that he was lucid when he and Gabi (Camila Banus) were locked in a freezer, and loves his wife’s best friend, Chad (Billy Flynn) was quick to reassure her that despite his feelings, he remains committed to his marriage. As he and Abigail prepared to attend the fundraiser they had planned, he also told her that he would talk to Gabi and say that they couldn’t see one another again. He was shocked when Abigail said she expected him to do it at the event.

Now, Chad will pull Gabi aside to speak with her, shocking her with the news that he still loves her. But when she starts to feel some sense of encouragement that there may be a chance for them someday, he will inform her that he can never see her again. Gabi will be crushed by the news that she will no longer be a part of his, or even Abigail’s lives, because the three have a long history of friendship.

Things became complicated for them after Chad and Gabi found love in one another when Abigail disappeared from Salem and was presumed dead. Her return meant Chad and Gabi had to put an end to their romance, but neither one was able to put their feelings aside completely, leading to the problems they now face.

However, despite the initial devastation over the current predicament, things will likely only get worse for all three as Deimos (Vincent Irizarry) puts a sinister revenge scheme into play.

“Days of Our Lives” airs weekdays at 12 p.m. EDT on NBC.
