I think the guy playing Stephan (used to be on GH) is a most exceptional actor - please don't fire him (kill him off) and later bring him back from the dead. This bringing characters back from the dead just isn't kosher in my book. Consider not being so quick to fire the actors and you won't need an outlandish way to put the character back in the storyline. It's just too much. Also,I am SOooo glad the Gabi messing with Abigail's head and life storyline is OVER. While I think it is an ok storyline, it would have been better if it were not drudged out for soooo long. Gabi is one character you can lose and not bring back. Wish you could have kept EJ character on there, as well as Bo Brady - just not the same without him. Please stop bringing back dead people. Stop firing so many to start with and you won't need to. I realize this is a fictional soap opera, but, even it needs some dignity, respect, some sense of reality . . . I mean, Salem is on planet Earth, right? I do love Days, and have watched it off and on since 1970 when I was 16 yrs old. I vcr'd it during the 80's & 90's . . . and only not watched it when the storylines were unwatchable or were just way too long.
