On May 18th’s episode of Days of Our Lives, Stephanie Johnson left many fans frustrated after telling Alex she isn’t ready to be a stepmother to his daughter, Kelsey.
Days Rant: Stephanie Fine With Chad’s Kids But Not Alex’s Daughter?
What some viewers find contradictory is that Stephanie Kiriakis once played a loving stepmother role to Charlotte and Thomas DiMera when she was with Chad DiMera. She bonded deeply with those children and seemed completely comfortable building a family dynamic at the time. So now fans are asking: what makes Alex’s little girl so different?
To be fair, Stephanie is still carrying emotional trauma from her kidnapping ordeal involving the deranged Owen Kent. Her PTSD and emotional instability could explain why she’s pulling away and struggling to open her heart again.
Others believe Stephanie’s hesitation goes deeper than fear of becoming a stepmom. Fans remember how attached she became to Charlotte and Thomas, only to eventually lose that family dynamic and get her heart broken. Some viewers think Stephanie is afraid to let herself fall in love with another child because she cannot handle losing that emotional connection again.
Either way, fans are divided. Some say Days has turned Stephanie into a constant crybaby lately, while others feel she is simply a traumatized woman trying to protect her heart.
Are fans being too hard on Stephanie — or is Alex the one viewers should be rooting for right now?
