What The Heck?!?! JOHN BLACK Is Poisoning STEVE on Days of Our Lives?!?!

Poor Steve has been suffering from dizzy spells and blurred vision on Days of Our Lives (DOOL). But that’s not nearly as shocking as who’s causing it — a mystery that has spawned many fan theories!

According to published reports, the one poisoning Steve (Stephen Nichols) is none other than his BFF John Black (Drake Hogestyn). Which begs the question as to why spoilers teased that the person causing Steve’s dizzy spells was an enemy from his past who was seeking revenge.

This makes Soap Hub wonder if something has happened to John to make him revert to his past programming by Stefano. Longtime fans will recall that when he first arrived in Salem, John was known as The Pawn — and he was being held by Steve, who was working with Victor (John Aniston) at the time.

Why John is doing it will be revealed as the story progresses, but in the meantime, John has to keep it to himself and the guilt is overwhelming. He comes close to confiding in Marlena (Deidre Hall), but he doesn’t quite yet.

While he’s keeping it from his romantic partner, Steve will finally let Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) in on what’s going on with him. Unfortunately, she can’t find a medical reason why he’s having this issue and it frustrates him, especially when it keeps happening.

She suggests he make an appointment with an eye doctor, but we’re betting that won’t offer any clues to what John is doing. How long will he keep this up is unknown but we certainly hope there’s a good reason that John has turned on his best friend. Stay tuned to find out!
