On Days of Our Lives, Stephanie recently discovered that Philip is still the serious schemer he always was. After learning this painful lesson, the PR specialist made a decision about her life.

The Single Life

During the Monday, January 13 episode of DAYS, Stephanie (Abigail Klein) overheard Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) referring to a forged letter. Actually, it was the forged letter that enabled him to take half of the Titan empire from Xander (Paul Telfer). He kept the truth from Stephanie and Belle (Martha Madison), who each helped him get that 50 percent.

Stephanie knows this side of Philip. She just thought that after all of his problems, followed by his quest to right his mental health, he had changed. Well, he hasn’t, and so she broke off their budding relationship. In a conversation with her mom, she decided to focus on her career and back away from her dating life.

She admitted to Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) that ever since her return to Salem, she’s been in one relationship after another, and they all failed. There was Chad (Billy Flynn), Alex (Robert Scott Wilson), Everett/Bobby (ex-Blake Berris), and Philip. Stephanie and Philip lasted all but two seconds.

What To Do

We’re hoping Stephanie will truly stay single for a while, focus on her career, look up some self-care opportunities, maybe seek out therapy, and get to know herself more. Then, down the line (it doesn’t need to be too long), when it’s time, figure out what she wants from her personal life.

Once she’s ready to enter dating life again, take the time to find someone that matches what she wants out of a relationship. By that time, maybe Alex will be completely unattached and want the same things Stephanie does. He’s almost there — at least, it seems like he is. Who knows, by the time she’s ready, there may be other options in Salem.

What did you think of Stephanie’s declaration? Do you think she’ll actually take a dating hiatus? Let us know in the comments.
