STEPHANIE JOHNSON’S WORLD IS ABOUT TO TURN UPSIDE DOWN!
TL;DR: On Sept. 26, Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) faces a chilling stalker scare on DAYS. A mysterious figure lurks around town square, holding a bouquet, rattling her just as Jeremy Horton (Trevor Donovan) looms as the prime suspect. Could the stalker be Jeremy—or someone far more unpredictable?
The Stalker Scare: Dark Streets, Darker Secrets
Spoilers for September 26 confirm that Stephanie will have a frightening brush with a stalker. As she prepares for an online Q&A session, she’s spooked in Salem’s town square by someone lurking with a bouquet.
Reports say that this encounter will deeply unsettle her, leaving fans wondering who’s behind the shadows.
The timing is suspicious: Jeremy Horton’s rumored return, plus her novel revealing past trauma, make this scare feel less random and more personal.
Jeremy Horton: Return of the Past
Speculation is leaning heavily toward Jeremy Horton being the stalker, though spoilers suggest his face may not be revealed immediately.
For longtime fans, Jeremy’s history isn’t benign: when he was previously on canvas, his abusive behavior toward Stephanie was a central plot. The fact that the stalker might show up during her night scenes while she’s vulnerable gives Jeremy perfect cover. Salem loves a ghost from the past coming back malevolent.
Was the Stalker Holding Stephanie’s Book?
One detail fuels the fire: at one point, the stalker is said to be carrying One Stormy Night—Stephanie Johnson’s novel under her pseudonym “Anastasia Sands.”
That immediately suggests someone with knowledge of her writing, her identity, or her secrets. If Jeremy has read it, he knows what parts of their shared history she laid bare. If someone else picked it up, they might be using it in a more calculated weaponization.
Alex Plays Hero—but Is It Enough?
During the same blackout episode, Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) is set to be the light in the dark, rescuing Salem’s residents with glow sticks, light-up glasses, and clever flair.
Later, when Stephanie is unnerved by the stalker, Alex may try to step in and protect her. That dynamic is classic on Days of our Lives: hero rescues damsel — but as always, heroism can be weaponized, misinterpreted, or spun against the very person it’s meant to help.
Red Herrings & Stalking Suspects
The “something old” clue teased in other spoilers might tie here. If the stalker uses a past artifact (a letter, a photo, a journal entry), they could frame their threat as historical, not present-day.
Why This Might Be Her Biggest DAYS Arc Yet
The question is whether she fights, flees, or uprises. In Salem, you never say never.
