However, others tend to reinvent themselves frequently, and Stephanie Johnson is one of those characters.
At the time, the character was being portrayed by actor Shayna Rose and sported long red hair.
Stephanie and Max began dating, but their relationship didn’t work out.

However, she wasn’t gone for long.
When she returned to the soap opera in 2007, Shelly Hennig had stepped into the role.
She also became friends with her ex-boyfriend, Max Brady, and attended college.

Sadly, she had a traumatic experience when she was drugged and attacked.
Stephanie later began dating Jeremy and convinced her friends to invest in his airline business.
However, that backfired when it was revealed that Jeremy had been hauling illegal material during his trips.

Stephanie went on to date Philip Kiriakis (Jay Kenneth Johnson).
The two got engaged but ended up splitting when he refused to cut ties with his crime family.
However, it was Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) who stole her heart.
