On Days of Our Lives, Stephanie Johnson’s love life might soon take a dark, dangerous turn. A figure from her past could shatter her peace just as her steamy romance novel gains attention across Salem. Is Jeremy Horton coming back with unfinished business?
Stephanie’s Book Exposes Her Past
Stephanie’s romance novel, One Stormy Night, is the hottest read in town. But behind the pen name “Anastasia Sans,” lies real stories pulled straight from her love life. From Philip Kiriakis to her abusive ex, Jeremy Horton, Stephanie’s private history is no longer secret.
Although she trusted Alex to delete a certain sensitive passage, there’s a chance it still made it to print. That passage? Likely about Jeremy. If Jeremy finds out, it could bring danger not just to Stephanie, but to everyone around her.
Days of Our Lives: Jeremy’s Return May Be Closer Than We Think
Days of Our Lives recently dropped hints that Jeremy might be back. Steve Johnson brought up Jeremy’s name out of nowhere—a classic soap signal. And with a new actor debuting in October, fans are buzzing that Michael Roark could be the recast.
Jeremy once pushed Stephanie’s head underwater during a violent outburst. He skipped town to avoid jail. If he returns, it likely won’t be for a casual book signing. It could be revenge, obsession, or worse.
Mike Horton, Jeremy’s father, is confirmed to return to Salem this October. That timing lines up with Michael Roark’s debut. Could Jeremy be returning with his dad for the Horton Clinic dedication? If so, Stephanie’s past will be walking straight into town.
With Titan Publishing promoting her book hard, the connection to Stephanie might not stay hidden. If Jeremy recognizes himself in her story, things could escalate fast. And given his history, Stephanie’s safety could be at risk again.
Stephanie’s Secret Isn’t So Secret Anymore
Stephanie believed publishing under a pen name would shield her identity. But Philip already figured it out. If he can crack it, so can Jeremy. Once he knows about the book, he might view it as an attack. He could try to silence her—or worse.
Steve and Kayla unknowingly reading the book and acting out its scenes is cringe-worthy enough. But if Steve finds out that Jeremy may return, he’ll be on high alert. He already doubts Alex’s ability to protect his daughter. That tension will likely boil over soon.
Alex took the fall for the publishing mess, but Stephanie isn’t at ease. The passage she asked to be removed might still exist. That mistake could bring Jeremy right to their doorstep. Steve doesn’t trust Alex’s judgment, and a blowup between them is coming.
As Salem prepares for the Horton Clinic ribbon-cutting, Stephanie could be bracing for her darkest chapter yet. Whether Jeremy shows up with charm or chaos, this isn’t over. Stephanie might need both Alex and Steve to keep her safe—if they can work together.
A chilling twist is on the way in Days of Our Lives, with Stephanie’s past ready to crash into her present. If Jeremy returns, chaos will follow. Don’t miss a moment of the drama at Soap Opera Daily—your daily dose of all things DOOL.
