Tripp viewed an emotional DVD from his late mother Ava on Days of Our Lives (DOOL), explaining how Steve abandoned her while she was pregnant, after promising to love her forever.
It paints Steve in a horrible light, while making Ava (Tamara Braun) appear to be a fragile damsel in distress. Tripp immediately decided his mother was a kind caring woman, who had her heart broken.
Of course, the truth of the matter is that Ava was anything but! She was calculating, crazy and a master manipulator, who wreaked havoc on the Johnson family.
And it all led to her murder by Joey (James Lastovic). Poor Steve fears his blossoming bond with his newfound son has been irreparably damaged. Soap Hub asked fans if you think Tripp will ever forgive Steve, after hearing Ava’s words. Some 4,000 of you weighed in.
