Days of Our Lives spoilers indicate the long-awaited reveal is over. After lots of speculation, and tons of scenes where Princess Gina (Kristian Alfonso) babbled to herself, we know the new Stefano DiMera. It’s Stephen Nichols, who plays Steve “Patch” Johnson. Well, technically. It’s more likely a Princess Gina-type situation where he thinks he is Stefano. Here’s what went down.
Days of Our Lives spoilers: Enough
Okay, we’ll admit it. The first couple scenes with Gina talking to Stefano as she paints his updated portrait weren’t bad. The device just dragged on a bit too long. It got to the point on Wednesday, November 27th, where we were yelling at the TV to get on with it already. When the portrait was finally revealed (we do like they used the portrait to break the news), Steve Johnson’s face greeted viewers. It’s not what we were expecting or hoping for, but we guess it will do.
Days of Our Lives spoilers: So far, so good
We’ll admit we never got to see Joseph Mascolo in the role. We’re actually sad about that, because it’s clear from online comments, he made a big impression in the part. We’re definitely planning to check out some YouTube videos soon. But, we do think they’re doing okay with the character so far. Stefano’s handling of Abigail Deveraux (Kate Mansi) was great. And we love that he re-thought things and sent Dr. Wilhelm Rolf (William Utay) in his place. Sending that message that Abbi overstepped shows he’s unpredictable and doesn’t bow down to anyone. It’s also nice how he worded things so that he could get out of meeting Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) if he chose.
Days of Our Lives spoilers: The downside
We were actually looking forward to Brandon Barash taking on the challenge. Days of Our Lives spoilers reveal that Stefano is out to destroy Gabi DiMera (Camila Banus) and take back what’s not hers. What better way to expose and destroy her than showing up with her dead husband’s face? With all the insanity Rolf has pulled off, it wouldn’t be out of the question to make a Stefan mask, or somehow manage to pull off a heart switch. Alas, that’s not to be. But he definitely could have gotten a lot of information out of her very easily.

Days of Our Lives spoilers: Possibilities
Now that the cat is out of the bag, it does make sense. The sudden divorce and refusal to attend Adrienne Kiriakis’ (Judi Evans) funeral was strange. However, this does offer some opportunities to mess with the characters. Days of Our Lives spoilers reveal that Kayla Brady (Mary Beth Evans) is happily with Justin Kiriakis (Wally Kurth) now. This sudden return (whenever Stefano decides to reveal himself) will cause a lot of confusion and probably affect the new pairing. He’s also got a perfect cover with that new face, which will surely make whatever plot is cooking easier to pull off. The thing we’re most looking forward to, though, is when Chad does learn about this new face. It’s sure to take a lot of time and work for him to accept that. We’re here for whatever wild turns the show takes next.
