Days of our Lives: Theo’s Hidden Encounter with Wedded Stephanie?!

Days of Our Lives hints that with her marriage in trouble, Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) may soon make a big misstep with Theo Carver (Tyler Joseph Andrews). They have been commiserating as friends, and there was nearly a Stephanie and Theo kiss, and it could turn into more than that.

And let’s get into the details about whether Stephanie and Theo may wind up having a one night stand really soon because there are red flags including a big hint from actor Robert Scott Wilson who plays Stephanie’s husband, Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson).

Days of our Lives: Theo & Stephanie’s Awkward Moment

So, at the moment, Theo and Stephanie still are just friends. But Theo and Stephanie have been confiding in each other quite a bit about their personal problems. Back in July, Theo and Stephanie had too much to drink and she invited him home with her as a friend and drunk Theo pulled off his shirt and he crashed half naked on her sofa.

And of course, it was super awkward because Alex came home from spending the night helping Joy Wesley (AlexAnn Hopkins) over at the Salem Inn with Kelsey and Alex was stunned when he walked in and found Theo missing some of his clothes and on their couch.

Even though nothing happened between Stephanie and Theo, it still rubbed Alex the wrong way, understandably. Imagine if Stephanie had walked in and found Joy asleep on the sofa, not wearing all her clothes. And then a month later in August, Alex and Stephanie argued. That’s because Alex saw Stephanie cuddling up to Theo. I think that was when she saw him in the park.

Stephanie Forced to Move – Lands in Theo’s Bed on DOOL

And this was after more bad news came out about Joy and Stephanie had to move out of their apartment. So, she was crashing with Jada Hunter (Elia Kantu), but that time she couldn’t really stay because Jada and Shawn Brady (Brandon Beemer) were having a whole romantic thing. So, Stephanie’s like, “No, I’ll leave you.” Went somewhere else. And then Theo insisted, Stephanie, come over to his place. In the end, she slept in Theo’s bed with him.

And this was not long after Lexie Carver (Nikki Crawford) had died. If you recall, Stephanie couldn’t go home because Alex had Kelsey at their place. And Stephanie didn’t want to drag her parents into her argument with Alex. So, that’s why Stephanie agreed to Theo’s kind offer of a place to stay. But come on, Stephanie could afford a room at the Salem Inn. She did not need to stay at Theo’s place. It was not appropriate. And the next morning, Stephanie woke up next to Theo.

Stephanie Crosses the Line on Days of our Lives

And yes, they didn’t cross lines then, but laying in bed with another man when you’re married, still crossing lines. Alex would have been furious if he’d known. Both those overnights with Theo and Stephanie have been between two supportive friends, but too much. After she spent the night at Theo’s, Stephanie lied to Alex’s face. That was when he asked her why Stephanie was in the same clothes she was in the day before. And I think she said she slept at her parents’ place. More recently, things got even more inappropriate when Stephanie ran into Theo at Small Bar.

That was after he put his letter of resignation on Johnny DiMera‘s (Carson Boatman) desk. So, Theo resigned because of all the dirty dealings going on at DiMera. Stephanie was really, really upset at Alex because she had just found out that Alex signed custody papers with Joy even though she added a stipulation that Stephanie had to stay ten feet away from Kelsey for an entire year, which is just downright cruel.

And Joy knew it was going to cause issues between Alex and Stephanie. Then she and Theo were boozing together yet again. And after Stephanie was ranting and drinking with him for a while, Theo said he’s always there to catch Stephanie. And Theo said he knew what it was like to want somebody that he could not be with.

Stephanie & Theo Get Closer on Days

And that was Theo referring to his unrequited crush on Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez), who of course is now in the process of reuniting with Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier). But Stephanie noted that Theo doesn’t break rules. And he told Stephanie that he did break them on rare occasions. And then Theo and Stephanie were doing this lean in sort of thing and it looked like they were about to kiss. But Paulina Price (Jackée Harry) came in looking for Stephanie’s PR advice and Theo decided now’s a good time to leave.

So, Paulina apologized for interrupting, but the way she reacted to Stephanie denying anything was happening suggests that Paulina saw Theo and Stephanie close to crossing a line. And you could tell it really bothered Theo that he almost kissed a married woman because Claire cheated on him. Remember? So then he confided in his sister Lani Price (Sal Stowers) and we saw Theo blurt out, “I almost kissed a married woman” and he told Lani he didn’t go through with it.

And she pointed out Theo did stop, but then he admitted to Lani he really wanted to kiss this woman, but he did not tell Lani that he was talking about Stephanie. And Theo did say the woman is in an unhappy marriage and deserved to be treated a lot better than she was getting.

Alex Gets Suspicious on DOOL

Then later, Alex ran into Theo and he told Alex he was real sorry to hear that Joy can’t move her legs. And so, of course, Alex wondered how Theo could have heard about that. And so, he told Alex he heard about Joy from Stephanie when Theo ran into her the night before. He told Alex that Stephanie was pretty upset about all of it. So, Alex made sure to let Theo know that everybody is upset about the Joy situation.

And then Alex said that although he and Stephanie are in a rough spot right now, they really love each other and are committed. They’re going to get through it. And Theo told Alex that he hopes they do get through what’s happening. However, it is quite clear that Theo really likes Stephanie. And Alex seems to be kind of catching on to this. He’s getting more suspicious of his wife Stephanie’s new friendship. And Alex’s jealousy over Stephanie and Theo honestly is classic Days of Our Lives.

Days of our Lives: Stephanie Makes a Mistake

Also, there was a little social media video that Days of Our Lives put out and Robert Scott Wilson was talking about Alex and Stephanie’s problems and who was to blame. And Robert Scott Wilson said that something is coming soon and he hinted that Stephanie does something bad and that that compounds the issues they’re having. So, Alex and Stephanie have fought about their jealousies.

When Alex mentioned her cuddling with Theo at the hospital, Stephanie clapped back about Alex getting way too close to Joy. But Alex has got to help Joy because of their daughter. But also, Alex cannot stand Stephanie leaning on Theo. And Stephanie can’t stand Alex letting Joy disrespect her. But to be fair, Stephanie shouldn’t have shot at her. It’s her fault that this is happening.

DOOL: Alex & Theo Showdown Coming

And when Alex finds out Stephanie and Theo almost kissed, or if he finds out Stephanie spent the night in a bed with Theo, I expect a showdown between Alex and Theo. And I do think there’s more to come between Stephanie and Theo because Joy is going to keep playing these games and Alex has no choice but to keep accommodating her because of Kelsey. Plus, Stephanie and Theo keep getting together to drink and to rant. And maybe next time, because Paulina saw them last time, they decide to have drinks at his place instead of Small Bar.

And that may be when we get a one night stand and they really cross the lines. For Stephanie, it might be a one and done mistake. Oh no, this is horrifying. I shouldn’t have done it. Nothing more. But I think Theo is catching feelings and this could cause way more problems for Alex and Stephanie’s marriage than anything that Joy Wesley has done so far.
