Adrienne Visits Steve in a Dream
At first, when she appeared, Steve thought it was Bonnie (of course, they’re complete doppelgängers), but it was his sister Adrienne (Judi Evans). She reminded him she wasn’t one of the usual “back from the deads” in Salem, but had visited his dream to deliver an important message about John. She told him that John is in heaven now—and that she’s going to look after him.
“That is the best news I could’ve heard,” Steve said.
“What are sisters for?” Adrienne quipped, before they both said how much they missed each other. Adrienne wished she could stay and catch up, but she had to go—as Steve awoke from his dream.
