On the September 21 episode of Days of our Lives, Alex poured out his heart to Justin about how he feels he is failing Kelsey, Joy, and Stephanie. We feel bad for Alex. Which means we also have an obvious solution for him.
Key Takeaways
- Joy’s apparent paralysis leaves Alex responsible for Kelsey and unable to see Stephanie freely.
- Alex has the resources to hire a nanny rather than rely on family and friends for childcare.
- A nanny could free Alex to be with Stephanie while putting Joy in a difficult position.
Alex’s Impossible Situation, Joy’s Inevitable Plan
Soap Hub‘s September 8 prediction regarding Joy (AlexAnn Hopkins) faking her paralysis appears to be coming true. Which means Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) needs to keep taking care of Kelsey.
Which means Alex can’t be with Stephanie (Abigail Klein), because a court order keeps her from being around Kelsey. Alex shared his frustrations with Justin (Wally Kurth), who advised Alex to hang in there. We have a better idea.
Alex Can Afford a Very Simple Solution
Has Alex forgotten that he is filthy rich? Being filthy rich solves so, so many problems. Alex has already dumped Kelsey onto various caregivers, like Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) and Steve (Stephen Nichols), Bonnie (Judi Evans), and Sarah (Linsey Godfrey), so he can be with Stephanie.
Has he considered taking the extremely radical step of… hiring a nanny? Does he know it’s Nanny Appreciation Week this week? It could be the perfect time to invest in Mary Poppins.
The Nanny Solution Puts Joy in a Bind
While Kelsey is with her new nanny, Alex and Stephanie can do whatever they want together. Sure, Joy will object to her baby being handed over to a stranger.
But, as Justin reminded, the joint custody agreement has been signed. Alex can make decisions for Kelsey. And if Joy doesn’t like it, she can get out of bed and do something about it. She can take care of Kelsey herself. Which will also free up Alex for Stephanie. He can’t lose!
