Days of our Lives spoilers: Patch and his Sweetness have some romantic moments

Days of Our Lives: A popular super couple

Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) and Kayla Brady (Mary Beth Evans) are a super couple on Days of Our Lives that fans have nicknamed "Stayla". They have withstood the test of time but the devil is giving them some problems since he returned to Salem. Kayla's brother Bo Brady (Peter Reckel) are considered the best super couple of all time but Steve and Kayla come in pretty close. Bo stabbed Steve in the eye when they both were in the merchant marines and because of the patch on his eye people began calling him "Patch."

Steve nicknamed Kayla his "Sweetness" and when he said it on a recent episode it brought back a fond memory for me. My daughter was born on November 18, 1986, and my grandmother who was a Days fan began calling her "My little sweetness." It's hard to believe this duo has been around for so many years.

Chaos in Salem

Last week a possessed Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) knocked Kayla out and left her bleeding in the floor. By the time you read this article, Steve found her and together they went after Marlena but were too late. The possessed one woke Jan Spears from her coma and turned Tripp Johnson into Jan and now he is in the hospital bed in a coma.

Spoilers indicate that Steve will contemplate that he might have lost the woman he loves and decide that he and his sweetness need some alone time. Steve will soon begin going out of his way to make Kayla feel loved and appreciated for as long as possible. John Black (Drake Hogestyn) has been trying to reach Steve because he needs his help with Marlena. Once he reaches him duty might call.

No one is safe as long as the Devil Doc is on the loose but soon Father Eric Brady will return to Salem and get rid of the demon that has taken over his mother. In the meantime, in the midst of all the chaos in Salem, Steve will make sure that his "Sweetness" is romanced and this should be a rose in the midst of the thorns.
