Days - Stephanie Johnson

[Andrew]

I just have to say, come up with a more annoying character then this, and please hire an actress that can act, and not a beauty contest winner.

well I am just going to ignore this thread. I love Stephanie and Shelley Hennig is a wonderful actress. Is she the best no but she isn't a bad actress. She is doing a great job with the Material she is giving.

I am just going to ignore threads like this about my fav characters. Shelley is a wonderful actress and i am enjoying her as Stephanie. So well i g2g, bells going to ring.

I am not going to say anything that will get me in trouble, u dont like stephanie that fine but dont bash shelley. She is a wonderful beautiful actress and she is improving everyday to be better. I am loving the sorority story, her and rachel melvin are doing a great job with it.

If you're ignoring the thread, why are you posting in it?

I've been constantly amazed at just how bad this situation has been including all that awful sorority junk.

But it not only goes on and on but consumes an awful lot of annoying airtime.

I actually do find NuStephanie interesting only because I've known a lot of girls like her. WHile I feel TPTB did a great disservice in how she was re-introduced to the show (and a lot of viewers are too stubborn to even allow themselves to be interested in her after the Touch the Sky debacle), I do think this sorority story, if told right, will do wonders for her. I know a lot of girls who leaped head first into their sexuality way too soon because they felt it's what guys wanted, and they saw a lot of empowered women in the media and in their lives looking as if owning their sexuality was a way to be considered "strong". And while I do personally think there are women who do get a lot of empowerment out of being in control of their sexuality, there are other young girls out there who don't understand the responsibility that comes with it.

That's kind of how I see Stephanie Johnson right now, and I feel it's very true to life. She was a successful race car driver, who wants to be seen as hot and sexy by everyone around her. (FYI, I'm not even referring to the rape aspect of the storyline right now... this is NOT a thread about sexually active women being put in positions where they're raped, and I don't want it to be. I think we can all agree that NO WOMAN ever "asks" for it.) I think this is a very flawed little girl who desperately wants to be an adult and isn't ready for it yet. And once I started watching her with that perspective, I really started to grow quite fond of her as a character.

We'll see where the sorority story goes, and whether it will be good or bad for the character. But I will fully admit that after months of hating her, I'm really coming around to her.

Please remember that it is ok to post about the characters, but it is not ok to bash the members here. Thank you

The actress is solid and often shows her potential when in scenes with MBE and SN. She has also gotten better when away from them too. She is not just a pretty face. I think the changes in the character upon her return soured many on her, on top of her being shoved down fans' throats. I think the changes in the character made her what she was supposed to be in the first place when Shayna came on, which was rebellious and troubled. The interim writers were there so I think they were at a loss as to how to approach the character when Shayna debuted and, once Shelley came, I think we got what was originally intended.

This rape story has great potential and Shelley has handled it well, along with the show. I can invest in her in this story, along with many of the young characters, and I think that is because of it being a much better story then TTS and more appropriate for their age and so on.

Okay i admit it, i'm starting to like Stephanie..I just don't really care for her with Max...

I think homegirl is starting to grow on me. Her acting is definitely improving. I guess it's true that on soaps, you get better with time. However, I still only need to see her once or twice a week.
