TL;DR: DAYS spoilers reveal Jeremy Horton (Trevor Donovan) may be stalking Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) after her book exposes their abusive past. Add in the looming Salem blackout and Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) stepping in as her protector, and this looks less like a breakdown — and more like a dangerous gaslight plot.
The Book That Lit the Match
Stephanie Johnson’s manuscript was already the stuff of nightmares, but now we know it doesn’t just embarrass people — it exposes Jeremy. When past abuse is splashed onto the page, Jeremy’s reaction is straight out of Salem’s darkest playbook: stalking her. That isn’t stress-induced paranoia. That’s a threat, and one that could make others dismiss her as “overreacting.”
Jeremy the Stalker: From Ghost to Gaslighter
Until now, Jeremy was a shadow tied to Everett Lynch (Blake Berris) and Stephanie’s scars. This spoiler makes him active and dangerous. If he’s creeping in Salem’s shadows while playing innocent to everyone else, that’s textbook gaslighting — imagine Stephanie insisting “Jeremy’s watching me” while friends shrug, “Are you sure?” It’s the perfect setup to make her doubt her sanity.
Alex to the Rescue?
Enter Alex Kiriakis. Spoilers suggest he’ll step in during Salem’s blackout to protect Stephanie. But when the lights go out, who do you trust? If Alex saves her, he becomes her anchor. If the blackout is part of Jeremy’s plan, Alex might be another piece on Jeremy’s chessboard. Either way, the danger makes Stephanie’s unraveling look even more believable — and more tragic.
The Titan Letter Still Lingers
On top of this, there’s still that forged Titan letter scandal hovering. If someone links Stephanie to that forgery while Jeremy stalks her, she’s not just frightened — she’s discredited. A career in shambles, a love life in chaos, and a predator in the dark? Classic Salem pile-on.
Who Stands to Gain from Stephanie Johnson’s Misery?
Breakdown or Gaslighting?
With Jeremy now confirmed as stalking her, this feels less like a mental collapse and more like Salem’s dirtiest trick — a woman silenced by doubt. Soap rules still demand a few scenes where Stephanie wonders if she’s “losing it.” The truth? She isn’t. Jeremy is pulling strings, and the blackout will only make it worse.
Bottom line: Huddle up, Salem. Whether she’s screaming in the dark or proving she’s been right all along, Stephanie Johnson is poised to deliver one of Days of Our Lives 2025’s biggest meltdowns — or victories.
