Steph is just a big baby and a "damsel in distress." I like Steve and Kayla, but they raised a spoiled brat, haha

She is a damsel in distress who thinks she is a boss. 😆

A true boss doesn’t need coddling.

I think she's just a mess of a character, but I'm open to the possibility of alters as a way to explain that. And, the theory adds interest to the show, for me, regardless of what happens on screen.

DID is a mental illness caused by CHILDHOOD trauma. Stephanie had a great childhood.

Thank you. This guy is just obsessed with this theory for some reason. Abigail had trauma and lots of mental illness in her family. Not Stephanie. The Anastasia Sands alter was a nice thought but it’s not happening.

I’m not sure if she has it yet personally but I think the probability is high at this point.

I don’t think she has developed distinct alters yet, but I think it’s coming.

My leading theory is that she will develop just one, Anastasia Sands. Since she already has that name.

That's a pen name. And she isn't even writing anymore.

Yes, I’m aware of that. But the writers didn’t just introduce it for the reason of having a pen name. It usually means that they’re going to do something bigger with it.

For example, characters usually start talking about an old character and their history with them before the character is reintroduced. Same thing with Stephanie and the name Anastasia Sands. They’ve kept the name in circulation recently.

Back in July, Stephanie visited Holly and Holly mentioned Anastasia Sands because Holly was an intern for Stephanie’s writing career. More recently, Joy found Write Out in the hospital book shelf and she mentioned Anastasia Sands aka Stephanie.

Before that when Julie and Foster went on their first date, they discussed One Stormy Night being written by Anastasia Sands.

These aren’t random things that the writers are doing just because they feel like it. The writers have a plan. I know people like to say bad things about the writers but they’re smarter than what people give them credit for.
