In upcoming episodes of Days of Our Lives, Owen Kent, played by Wes Ramsey, reemerges as the obsessed stalker of Stephanie Johnson. The character, a blast from Stephanie's past, is plotting her kidnapping with possible accomplices. This revelation ties into recent events including a poisoning attempt on Alex Kiriakis and lurking incidents in Salem.
Days of Our Lives is set to unravel a terrifying conspiracy involving Owen Kent's return to Salem. Actor Wes Ramsey reprises his role from 2000, when Owen terrorized his crush, Stephanie Johnson, portrayed by Abigail Klein. The storyline confirms Owen as the stalker who attempted to poison Alex Kiriakis, played by Robert Scott Wilson, and planned to enter Stephanie's room during her book tour in Chicago.
Recent spoilers highlight Owen lurking in Salem's dark corners, particularly on New Year's Eve in a dark hoodie at Salem Town Square. Steve Johnson, enacted by Stephen Nichols, confronts what he believes is Jeremy Horton, played by Trevor Donovan, only to face Owen instead. Jeremy, Stephanie's ex with a toxic history, remains a suspect despite claiming reform; he brought flowers to bury the hatchet, but Stephanie reacted with fear and confided in Alex.
Accusations against Jeremy include outing Stephanie as the kinky writer Anastasia Sands—actually done by EJ DiMera, played by Dan Feuerriegel—and other convoluted schemes like hacking dating apps or involvement in a pumpkin catapult incident. However, Jeremy shows no criminal signs, focusing on teaching and a fresh start, supported by Julie Williams, played by Susan Seaforth Hayes.
Speculation points to potential partners aiding Owen, such as Joy Wesley, who may hold a grudge over her pregnancy with Alex's child; Vivian Alamain, played by Louise Sorel, with her history of grudges against the Kiriakises; or DiMera connections, including EJ who originally hired Owen to kidnap Stephanie 25 years ago. Owen escaped prison after a crash, possibly a DiMera setup. An online forum for Anastasia Sands fans suggests advice from an unknown source, advising against killing Alex.
As Stephanie plans to marry Alex in 2026, Owen's interference looms, potentially derailing the wedding. The plot thickens with hints of a broader conspiracy, keeping viewers on edge for the kidnapping resolution.
