Days of our Lives Sneak Peek Photos April 27: Stephanie Learns To Shoot

While Days of our Lives spoilers for April 27 tease Gabi’s (Cherie Jimenez) answer to Philip’s (John-Paul Lavoisier) proposal, Steve (Stephen Nichols) takes Stephanie (Abigail Klein) and Brady (Eric Martsolf) to the shooting range, and they’ve both got some pent-up anger to release.

Stephanie learns to shoot, but she may have more on her mind than Owen’s (Wes Ramsey) threat. When she learns Joy (AlexAnn Hopkins) is back in Salem — and with a baby who is clearly Alex’s — she’ll have all new reasons to want to shoot.

As for Brady, he’s hot off learning that Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) barred Marlena (Deidre Hall) from seeing Rachel (Lorelei Olivia Mote) at Bayview.

We are sure that the Russian playwright Anton  Days of our Lives in mind when he asserted: One must not put a loaded rifle on the stage if no one is thinking of firing it. Stephanie has a gun. Steve taught her how to use it. Now all that’s left is to wonder whom she’ll shoot.

Key Takeaways:

  • Steve taught Stephanie basic gun safety
  • Stephanie ignored Steve’s advice
  • Something is about to go very, very wrong

Steve (Stephen Nichols, who recently reacted to the Ryan Gosling/Deidre Hall viral moment) gave Stephanie (Abigail Klein) excellent advice: Always assume a gun is loaded, never point it at anyone/thing you don’t actually mean to shoot, keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot, and remember to keep the gun locked up in one place, the ammunition in another. That last one really didn’t do it for Stephanie. She did ask a logical question: If someone comes at me, what good will having a gun in a safe and bullets in another room do me?

Who’s In Charge?

After Steve and Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) left, Stephanie did what she wanted to do in the first place. She took the gun out of the safe, filled it with bullets, and left it in a much more easily accessible location. It made her feel safer. It also made her more dangerous.

Target Practice

Will a jittery Stephanie take aim at Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) the next time he walks through the door? What about if Jeremy (Michael Roark) stops by? Will she take the gun with her the next time she asks to meet with Owen (Wes Ramsey)? What about when she faces him in open court? Or what if Joy (AlexAnn Hopkins, who pops up in DAYS’s weekly video preview) returns to town like we’re expecting, and Stephanie accidentally kills the woman who once dated Alex? What will happen to the baby we suspect Joy had then?
