After months of speculation about who is talking Stephanie on Days of our Lives, the February 24 episode revealed that her kidnapper is… Jeremy. The guy everyone accused from the beginning. This is anticlimactic, to say the least. Which means there has to be a major twist coming. Right?
Key Takeaways:
- Jeremy was the most obvious suspect from the start
- All the evidence so far is circumstantial
- Salem is famous for their lookalike impostors
By the Numbers
Stephanie (Abigail Klein, who teases Stephanie’s endgame with her stalker) wrote a book where she described a sexual encounter with an old, abusive boyfriend. Old, abusive boyfriend, Jeremey (Michael Roark) came to town. Stephanie had a stalker. Jeremy was the one everyone suspected. Jeremy denied. Stephanie was kidnapped. She looked up, and there was Jeremy. Case solved! Does this sound like a soap opera? Especially this one?
Chain of Evidence
So far, Stephanie has seen Jeremy, and we’ve seen Jeremy. Meanwhile, out in Salem, all Steve (Stephen Nichols) and Jada (Elia Cantu) have is video of a person wearing Jeremy’s costume on Halloween night, attempting to kill Alex (Robert Scott Wilson). Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes) accepted it as evidence, but all she saw was the costume, not Jeremy’s face. The same goes for the mystery doctor who dropped off those files on Kayla’s (Mary Beth Evans) desk. They found no fingerprints. And the police guard who said he was knocked out by a blow to the head was actually drugged. Which sounds like we may not have the full picture here.
Masked Crusader
Salem is no stranger to people pretending to be other people. If the dead can come back to life with regularity, surely a little plastic surgery wouldn’t be beyond the true culprit. What if this is someone who is framing Jeremy to the point of being cut up to look like him, and then leaving the real Jeremy’s body behind to close the case, while they abscond for parts unknown with Stephanie?
