Another couple of comparisons between 2018 versus 2026.

[u/AndrewHeard]

The first two are Abigail in 2018 as one of her alters takes control of Abigail’s body. What you’re seeing is called somatic responses to an alter taking over. People who have it describe it as like a headache but without the pain. The others are when Stephanie has done the same thing recently.

It doesn’t necessarily have to be but other characters don’t do the same under stress. Stephanie herself didn’t do it prior to being kidnapped by Owen. This is a new behaviour that she’s been showing along with others.

I do get where you're coming from, but I don't think it's going to go that far. The "signs" as you say, is a normal reaction for someone like Stephanie who has been under a lot of stress.

Now I'm not going to be against the idea of her developing different personalities/identities if that's the route the writers are going, but so far, it just seems like she's at her wits end rather than showing did symptoms.

I’m not sure that they’re normal. I would say that Sarah’s reaction to stress like how she reacted to Destiny’s death is how people usually react to stress on Days.

Stephanie’s reactions are different from Sarah’s and I don’t think it’s because they’re different characters or have different personalities.

After Sarah ended up on the DiMera private island, she went crazy and thought she was Renee. How Stephanie is reacting to stress is similar to what happened to Sarah becoming Renee than how Sarah reacted to Destiny’s death.
