Brady, you better be on stand by. Cousin Steph is going to need you the way she is popping those pills. She is 100% certain going to have a horrible car crash. There is no way they gave her a new set of wheels the day she gets hooked on drugs, without leading up to that! Those near death experiences usually lead to figuring out you aren’t with the right romantic partner. Will Stephanie finally realize Philip isn’t right for her? I am not feeling the love.

Does anyone else still feel the magic between Max and Stephanie? Are they really over? I can see him busting apart Steph and Philip’s wedding. This is clearly a case of them just writing him off so he can do his new series. Good Luck Darrin!

Why is Brady so bent out of shape to find Stephanie? I mean they are only second cousins! What will be Nicole’s next move? If I were her, I would spend less time pestering Mia and worry about whether Brady will follow through on his threat to expose her pregnancy faking.  Somehow Brady has to find out about the  baby swap.  It annoys me that Nicole is so sure he will keep her secret. Let’ s  hope this Stephanie kidnapping storyline drags out a little longer. That will give Nicole time to squirm, and possibly dig her own grave (EJ won’t like it if she starts prying into where Steph is ). And it will allow Philip and Melanie to bond. I want them to be our summer romance, and I even am starting to want Stephanie and Owen together. She likes messed up guys, remember Jeremy? Stephanie is needy, she might just like having a guy who is obsessed with her.

Owen  has to be the worst kidnapper on earth. Does he really think he and Stephanie are going to run away together and live happily ever after? How far are they going to take this? Will we have to endure a summer of them in some village in India until Philip comes and saves her? Will she fall for Owen while in captivity? I can just picture the set now. Although, they seem to be short on set funds, have you noticed the Kiriakis garden, the rendezvous spot, the place where Stephanie fell, and the place Philip runs to from the pier all look exactly the same?

Or so he says. What will his next move be.  Swapping Stephanie for Stefano will accomplish nothing.  Stephanie is in perfect health, so I suspect Victor will stall a bit. Force EJ’s hand. That will also give Stephanie and creepy Owen time to bond.  I swear the writers are planning to have them develop a relationship. Hell if EJ and Sami could wind up together (even if short lived) anything is possible.
