Wow, NBC's website picture

[WhizGidget]

I just went over to NBC's website to watch yesterday's episode, and I was greeted with a picture of Steve, without the patch. Really guys? I mean, I know he doesn't have it in real life, but when this is the website for the show, shouldn't the actors be in character? Or are we getting an evil twin? Or is his eye going to be miraculously restored?

Maybe miracle worker Dr. Shah has additional talents??

Patch or no patch, he is one sexy gorgeous man!!!! :love::love::love::love::love:

 

[TylerJax]

I hope he can ditch the patch. Wow! Nice to see both of those pretty eyes!

After all this time, I don't think they'll get rid of the patch. The storyline is that his friend Marcus operated on him, so he could wear a prosthetic eye to infiltrate a religious group. Steve was later injured so badly during a fight that his eye socket was permanently damaged, and they can't repair it enough to wear a prosthetic eye anymore. BUT, this is the magical land of Salem where Philip regrew his amputated leg and neither Jennifer or Brady have scars from their heart transplants. Guess poor Steve drew the short straw on rejuvenation powers.

 

[Poirot]

But medical research has made great strides over the years. i.e. once upon a time, no one ever would think of transplants, then the organs came, and now they have even transplanted fingers, hands, etc. An eye socket would be a piece of cake. !

As an aside, the actor, Stephen Nichols, who portrays Steve, has said that wearing the patch so much back in the day, affected his vision in that eye, which is why he only has it on while filming. He immediately lifts it up when they call cut.

An eye socket would be a piece of cake. !

Only if Super Miracle Dr. Dan the Man Who Tans was still alive!! It's a shame he never operated on Steve. Not only would he have fixed the socket, he'd have given him a new eyeball that actually worked.

JS TRUE

To borrow a quote from John Black, that's a fact!

Steve's made my heart flutter for 30+ years, and I'm only 46.

 

[TylerJax]

I have a prosthetic eye. Most people don't know unless I tell them.

 

[redsquirrel]

Tylerjax, I have one in my desk drawer at work. No, I'm not a weirdo. I work at an agency for the blind, and it was given to me by the prosthesis maker to use in school educational programs.

 

[Just Samantha]

A girl in my church lost her eye in an accident and was fitted with a prosthetic eye. If you didn't know, you'd never have a clue one wasn't real.

You don't need Dr. Dan to perform the surgery to have no scar. After all, Brady has Dan's heart so Dr. Dan definitely didn't do his surgery.

 

[Just Samantha]

Ahhh, but Daniel's miracle heart beats within Brady's chest, so it magically regrew his skin as soft and smooth as a baby's behind.
